A Lifetime Is Not Enough (One Direction)

Chapter 3 (Bliss)

"Oh shoooooooooooooot!!!! Where on Mother Earth is my necklace????!!!! "

Every pair of eyes or glasses in the supermarket simultaneously found their sight on me.

Yes yes people I'm the one who screamed.

Don't mind me, I'm just freaking out right now. asdfghjklqwertyuioppzcvbnm

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG God have mercy on me.

I literally got on all fours to hunt for my missing necklace. I don't care if I end up in a video on YouTube with the title "Psycho Teen Girl Kissing The Supermarket Floor". My necklace's worth more than my dignity. I NEED TO FIND MY NECKLACE.

The necklace is all I got. It's the only piece left of her. Of my mother.

I remember seeing her packing her bags. I was only eight at that time.

"Where're you're going mommy? "

"I'm going on a business trip sweetheart."

"How long mommy? When are you coming back? "

"Soon, sweetheart. I don't know when, but soon I promise."

I started wailing. "You're not coming back! Don't go mommy! Don't leave us mommy!"

"Shush sweetheart. Mommy's only gone for awhile."

I continued hollering at the top of my lungs.

"Don't cry sweetheart. Shush shush. Mommy will come back, promise."

Her hands went to the back of her neck, and she unclasped the necklace she was wearing, and put it on me.

"Wear this for me sweetheart. Whenever you miss me, just hold on to this. I'm right beside your heart." A single tear rolled down from her beautiful black eyes, as she continued stroking my hair and caressing my face. I can still feel her touch lingering on my skin, her scent surrounding the air around me. "I'll come back for this."

My cries slowly turned to sobs. "I love you mummy."

"I love you too sweetheart. I love you to the moon and back. I love you more than my life."

She cupped my face in her hands for one last time, kissed me lovingly on my forehead, and stepped out from the door.

I didn't know she literally stepped out of my life.

I held on to the necklace everyday. It was simple but special : Shaped like a paper plane with the word "Bliss" engraved onto one of its flaps. It was one of a kind.

The devastating truth came to our front door two months later. My mum was on her way back when her plane crashed somewhere over the Atlantic ocean. Her body was never found and she was assumed dead.

Her death struck both and my dad hard, but my dad got the worst of it. (Even though I was only eight, I still have eyes.) He didn't go to work for almost a month and he didn't even bothered to cook. All he did was drink liquor on the couch, and when that ran out, he'd go the store nearby to buy them.

For those three longest weeks of my life, I survived on whatever food I could find in the house, which wasn't much. I lost my mum, and now my dad too.

It was until the fourth week that food ran out, and I was literally dying from hunger. One night, I walked up to my dad, weak and tired from starvation, and asked for food. (Don't judge, I was only freaking eight!)

He hit me. I lost my balance and fell onto the floor. My face was red and swollen. My tears gushed out like a river. What else could I do?

Something clicked in my dad as he saw me fell. He was stunned for a minute, looking at his hands in shock disbelief. The next minute, he kneeled on the ground and scooped me up into his embrace.

"I'm so sorry sweetheart. I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry......."

"I swear to God I would never hit you again, or let you shed another tear sweetheart."

"Mommy wouldn't want us like this. Me, like this. She'd want us to be strong for her. See? I got the same necklace."
He took out his necklace, it's the same, except for the engraving which said "Family".

"We wear this together and be strong together, for Mommy, okay?

I nodded my head weakly and said, "Right beside our hearts."

"Right beside our hearts." he whispered before we both cried for one last time.

And now, I freaking lost the necklace in a freaking gigantic supermarket.

Right now, the space beside my heart feels painfully empty.
