Kayla's pov

Birth mum - Hey honey.

Me - hey mum.

My mum walks straight past me she looked busy.
I walk around and see that I'm at home, as in home home, like I'm back in London, I look at the time and its 13th July, the day before my mum died...

Me - Mum!

Mum - yes Maki!!!

Tears start to roll down, I she walks in my room looking concerned. she walks up to me,

Mum - sweetheart why are you crying?

I stare at her face, she hasn't changed a bit...

Me - nothing it's just...
It's just that your the best mum I could ever ask for and I'm so so grateful.

Mum - thanks sweetheart and after your fathers death, I thought that we wouldn't really get through this but look at us...
But I mostly thank you for taking care of me, especially when I'm not feeling well...

As soon she had Finnish talking I embrace her with a warm hug.

Mum - I love you sweetheart .

Me - I love you too mum.

Mum - come on, dinners getting cold.

We walked to the kitchen sat down and ate our supper in a comfortable silence.

Mum - so, what are you going to do for your 16th birthday?

Me - I don't know, I never thought about...

Mum - what about your friends Kendall and Kylie, I like Kylie you lot are very close...

Me - wait, how do you know about Kendall and Kylie?!?

Mum - their your friends are they, the come here almost everyday...

Me - oh yeah, I'm getting quite full and tried, so I'm gonna get ready for bed.

Mum - okay I'll wash up and get ready too.

Me - do you need help?

Mum - no I'm good Maki, go to bed, goodnight Maki

Me - night mum

I walk into my room look in to the mirror, I looked the same but something's changed but I don't know what.

1 hour later...

I couldn't sleep so, I went to my mums room and found her awake.

Me - hey

Mum - can't sleep

I nodded.

Mum - same, come here.

She offered me a space, which I excepted, I climbed in bed, laying on my mums chest slowly falling a sleep.
She starts singing her favourite song, she hums the song as darkness takes over me.

Next day...

I open my eyes and hear the birds, and today was the day, I feel her body cold, I got up and looked at her and she looked pale.
I cover my mouth with my hands trying not to make a sound.
I felt my tears dropping like a waterfall.

Me - mum please wake up, it me Maki, your little girl...

All I could do is scream.
I found a note, from my mum...

Dear Maki,
I want you to know that I love you so much, all I want you to do is
Wake up...

Me - What?

(Dream over)

Chris - wake up babe it's only
A dream...

Me - where's my mum?

Christ - Kayla...

Me - (cries) that was a dream, I knew something wasn't right, but it felt so real, her warm hugs, my home everything did but now...

Chris - what happened?

Me - it was the last day with my mum but it was different...

Chris - you don't look good (he feels her temperature) your really warm. I think you need to go home.

Me - I'm fine, I just need fresh air...

Chris - we'll forget the beach, lets go for a walk and get smoothies.

Me - yeah, that's a good idea. you go shower first, I'll be out in the balcony, I just need to clear my head...
