CHARLY
"Mom!" No one was home except for me and my mom. She was asleep and I wanted to go out to have Ice Cream. Daddy took Delaney to the doctors for a check up because she was sick and she's very young. Apparently if you're sick for a long time you need to go to the doctors. I ran up the stairs while shouting mom. When I got to her room she was still asleep, she must not have heard me. "Mommy, wake up! I want to go outside and get Ice Cream. It's really hot and I'm craving mint chocolate chips and I know you like it too," I shook her body, "I know it's your favourite flavour you told me about last month."
"Mommy. Why aren't you waking up?" The door opened downstairs. "We're home Sweetheart!" Maybe Daddy can wake Mommy up, he does it every morning. I ran down the stairs to ask him if he could.
When I got downstairs he put Delaney's stroller away. "Daddy, Can you wake Mommy up? She isn't waking up." He looked at me and just walked to the kitchen. "Charly here have some Ice cream." I was very confused. Daddy never lets me have Ice Cream two days in a row, only Mommy does. "I only want Ice cream with Mommy." I whined as I sat back on the chair with my arms crossed. "Tough luck kid because your mom's dead."
I have never cried since my mom died, not at her funeral or her death anniversary. It's been over a decade since then and nothing has made me cry but this girl is gonna be the death of me.
Roxanne's giving me silent treatment ever since I shouted at her earlier. It's 2am. Zac fell asleep about an hour ago and we're currently watching Me Before You. The movie is not sad but Roxanne is currently sobbing. I wasn't planning on joining their movie night but I couldn't go back to sleep after the nap I had. It wasn't the first time I'd had a nightmare about my mom's death. I am used to it now. But it doesn't mean I can just fall asleep after having a flashback. I had to leave behind a handful of things the day she died. But I also had to learn things the day she died. I learnt how to lie about having a Mom and I can still do that to this day.
Roxanne was hogging all the pillows so I decided to see what the hype was and moved closer so that I could lean on her shoulder. Zac is always napping on her and I know why now. Her skin is soft or maybe it's just her clothes but right now her bra strap is really trying to kill me. I slide my hand up her arm and move her bra strap down her shoulder so it's hanging off her arm. My head moves back onto her shoulder and it stays there.
