CHAPTER 30 - A WEIRD DAY.

March 23rd - Y/n POV

Things have been good, I've been more open with mom when I have urges and we normally take a family walk to the park.

It gets us out and lets us be able to breath, it's been really good. 

Moms been working a lot from home, mainly just online meetings and loads of emails and phone calls, even though she drops them as soon as I need her. I appreciate it a lot. 

But yeah moms been really busy, Colins been at work too, me and Rose have just doing anything to amuse ourselves. It is fun spending time with Rose. She is easy to please really, she can easily sit amused by her toys for hours and when she is bored of that all you need to do is throw on a film or help her read a book. Things like that. 

I still have my moments when I look at her and feel sad...it's just one of those things where I can't shake how she is growing up with mom and I didn't for a while, it's stupid. I push it away, I just go find mom and sit next in her office while she works and leave Rose alone for a bit. 

Just being in the room with mom gives me reassurance. 

Like yesterday I was having kind of a bad day. I couldn't sleep and found myself tossing and turning all night. Sleep was just not being able to reach me so I just left my room and went downstairs. I laid on the couch and just watched Scandal. 

I finally fell asleep but was woken up by Rose poking my cheek which didn't help my mood. I was grumpy all day. I didn't want anyone touching me and I was just really overwhelmed. Everywhere I looked I felt him around me. It was hard to not lock myself away in my room. But mom helped. I told her how I was feeling and she sat down with me and just let me cry. I didn't have any way to get out anything I wanted too so I just cried. And finally I let moms arms surround me and it was like it all went away. She just makes everything go away. 

But now we come to today. 

It is currently 8:30am and I hear a small knock on my door before it is pushed open. I was expecting to be greeted by mom but was surprised when I see Rose's head appear and she runs into my room and jumps on my bed. 

If Rose is awake mom normally isn't far behind. She knows she isn't allowed downstairs without mom in the mornings. 

"Where's mom?" I mumble into her hair as she settles onto my chest releasing a yawn. 

"I tried waking her up but she told me to go to you" Rose yawns again as I stare down confused at her. Maybe mom was just tired and wanted a little while longer to sleep. It is perfectly fine, she runs this house the least we can do is let her sleep. 

I roll out of bed with Rose still on my chest and carry her downstairs placing her on the kitchen island. 

"What do you want for breakfast?" I ask her as I look in the fridge to see what juice we have. 

"Hmmm, cereals." Rose cheers at me and I chuckle and move to the cupboard that holds the cereal. I grab a box of cheerios and then grab the milk from the fridge, handing her a bowl and a spoon and placing everything next to her. 

"OKayyy, that is everything. You wanna do it yourself or me to do it?" I ask her again as I watch her face move to a thinking face. She cheekily smiles up at me as I lean against the counter with my arms caging her in as she points her finger at me and giggles. 

I let a smile morph onto my lips as I move out of her way and pour her cereal. I debate whether to let her carry on sitting on the counter or make her sit at the table but just decide to let her stay put. 

Rose happily digs into her cereal as I go back to the fridge and look for the apple juice. I frown when I realise I must have drunk the last of it yesterday and begrudgingly take out the orange juice instead and pour myself and Rose a glass. Like come on apple juice is just better.
