i refuse to sink.

chapter twenty-four.

And he was gone, once again. I sighed to myself and walked up to Harry's room and let the tears fall. I felt bad, I felt bad for snapping at him this week. I don't know why I did, but I did and I couldn't help myself.

"Morgan? Darling are you alright?" I heard Anne ask as she lightly knocked on the door and came in. She came over to my side and engulfed me in a hug, the tears were pouring now.

"I'm so sorry." I sobbed.

"What for?" Anne cooed.

"I don't know, I just-everything. I don't know what's wrong." I cried. Anne rubbed my back and shushed me to calm me down.

"Would you like to join me for some lunch?" Anne whispered after I calmed down. I nodded and told her I would get ready and meet her downstairs. I walked to the bathroom and took my clothes off, I looked in the mirror before stepping in the shower.

"I'm sorry Harry." I whispered to myself as I ran my fingers across my extremely visible ribs. I felt something wet slide down my stomach. I was crying, yet once again. I sighed and got into the shower and washed up.

I let my hair dry naturally and applied little make up. I was slipping on a pair of jeans but they wouldn't stay up. I groaned and grabbed a pair of shorts that were always to small on me and slipped them on. They were loose so I put on a belt, I slipped on a random tshirt of Harrys and a pair of toms before walking downstairs.

"Ready to go?" Anne asked. I nodded and gave her a smile. We walked out to the car and drove off. We talked a little bit, but I knew she didn't want to touch certain topics. We pulled up to a cute little restaurant and got out.

"I would love to meet your parents Morgan." Anne said taking a bite from her salad.

"Yeah, my mom would love to meet you." I replied.

"What do your parents do?" She asked.

"My mom is into fashion, so she travels a lot." I nodded as I told her.

"And your dad?"

"Umm my dad-well he died a few years ago, but he worked with Simon." I said awkwardly.

"Oh darling, I am so sorry, I didn't- I didn't know." Anne quickly said.

"No don't be, its okay. I never told you." I laughed slightly. I took a bite from my salad and felt fat, but I knew I would be getting rid of it later.

"Are you and your mother close?" Anne asked.

"Umm we were, but she was always gone a lot but recently we have gotten really close. I really missed her, I'm happy shes back." I answered honestly.

"Well, I would love to meet her." Anne said. I nodded and we continued on talking about random things. Tonight was my last night, so I wanted to spend time with Anne to get to know her. When I got home all the girls had their bags packed by the front door so I did the same, I only had an outfit for tomorrow left out.

"Okay, so meet at the boys place later tonight?" Eleanor asked.

"Yeah, in a few hours?" I said. All the girls nodded. I said bye and walked up to my home. I noticed my moms car was missing, so was my sisters. Strange. I walked up to the door and unlocked it.

"I'm home!" I yelled. No answer. "MOM!?" I yelled. I sighed, maybe she was at the store. I walked to the kitchen and noticed something on the counter. An envelope. My moms hand writing was on the envelope.

'Morgan, I am so sorry. I had to do this, you weren't happy. I can't be around you anymore, I know you are hurting but you aren't hurting like me. I moved away with your sister, I knew you would understand, you are the best. Here is some money to keep you going for a few months. I love you Morgan, I do but I can't be around you anymore. I'm so sorry, Love your mom.'
