The Connection

8

After our breakfast we all head our separate ways. Mandy had somewhere to be; Emma parents were calling her none stop. The sight made my heart ache. With the reminder of them being the reason she left me that morning. I knew she could feel my anxious energy.

That was the thing about us, we could feel eachother not just physically; it felt.. more soulfully. I never understood it; it's been that way since I could remember.

Parking my car into the drive way; I know I have to face my Mom now. Extending my leg exiting my car; I snap my head up to Ems house. I see their car parked in the driveway. She didn't allow me to take her home.

I knew why.

Walking through the front door; shutting it behind me. I look around the house. It feels so cold in here. The only light on is the kitchen light. Taking a breathe I didn't know I was holding; I make my way upstairs to my mom room.

Opening her door I peak my head inside her room. "Hey mom. I'm ready to talk now." I made my way all the way into her room; sitting on a chair in her room. Her beautiful brown eyes meet mine. I've missed those eyes I don't see them much anymore.

I swallow the lump in my throat. I hate how it is between us now. We use to be so close; everything changed. I feel so lonely and nobody knows. "Talk to me baby. I kn-I know I haven't been a good mom."

I can't

"No mom you're a great mother! You're hurting I-I-I'm hurting.. I just miss you." She open her arms for me to come to her. I do so willingly her warmth is comforting. I've missed this I've missed her so much.

I didn't know I was crying; until I hear her soft words. "Shhh it's okay I'm here I'm here." I cling to her tighter feeling her fingers thread through my hair. "We're going to get through this together, no more pushing you away im sorry my sweet girl."

~~~

I stir awake my eyes burning. It's dark out now; how long have I been asleep? Getting out my mom bed I make my way downstairs. I smell something delicious; I haven't smelt food like this is years.

Wow.

"Hi honey! You're finally awake, you looked so peaceful I didn't wanna bother you." I smile at her she looks like a chief with her apron on. "It's okay I needed that sleep and that talk. What you making?"

She looks up from stirring "I'm making my famous homemade spaghetti I know it's your favorite we haven't had it in awhile." I can hear the regret in her voice. I don't want her to feel it; we both lost a lot that day.

"I knew it smelt familiar! Thank you mom for everything. I love you." I see her eyes get teary but they seem like happy ones. "It's sad how I'm reacting I haven't heard those words in over 2 years." I knew she meant not just from me but since my dad died.

That's going to change.

"Well you'll hear it a lot more, this house could use a little more love! Let's redecorated a complete make-over we need new and fresh." It's time to start being happy again. He wouldn't want this for us.

"Let's do it baby girl."

A/N: Short chapter but it's needed. This book will also have time jumps nothing huge and crazy but definitely a lot of them.
