Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 129

Max's P.O.V.
I was brought out of my sleep by someone shaking me. I tried to open my burning eyes to see who it was.

"Maxene! Babe, you gotta wake up. Y-your mam is having a f*cking nightmare." A nightmare.. what the, can't mum handle that.

"Mum, I'm tired an-" I was cut off by a scream making me shoot up and look at mum to see tears in her eyes and a deep scratch on her cheek and a cut on the lip.

"What the hell was that?"

"Cheryl's having a nightmare" I shoot out of my bed and run out of the bedroom with mum following closely behind.

"She won't stop screaming and she keeps on saying your name." My heart is beating fast. Mam always have nightmares about me and its making me worry.

I slammed the door open to see mam thrashing around with her eyes tightly shut and tears leaking out of the sides of it. I immediately ran towards the bed and sat on top of her locking her wrist above her.

"Maxene! Why did you leave us!" She yelled and it broke my heart. Why is she having nightmares about me leaving her.

"Mam! Wake up!" I said but its no use and soon I found myself just staring at her and what I see maked me want to burst in tears.

"Mam!"

"F*cking why did you leave us.!" I gave up and just lie on top of her resting my head on her chest hearing her heart beating frantically out of her chest. And that's when I burst into tears.

I've witnessed mam in this situation before but this time its more worse. She's thrashing every where like she's fighting someone in her dream. I hate these f*cking nightmares of hers.

"MAX!" I shot out of my position as she shoot up from her sleep panting like she ran a hundred miles, sweat dripping down her face and tears in her eyes matching mine.

I felt mum's arms around me as I lose balance and was about to fall out of the bed but she caught me just in time.

"Maxene!" In a blink of an eye, I found myself in mam's arms as she sobbed on my shoulder holding me tight. I can feel her heart beating and her deep breaths against my neck, her tears staining my faded green shirt. 

And for some reason, it feels like time froze and everything is in slow motion. Seeing mam in this state makes me go crazy.And I hate it. I hate the fact that mam is crying because of me. Her nightmares are getting worse and every single one of them is about me. What the f*ck is happening.

Mam pulled back and look at me in the eyes. Her brown pools getting deeper with my green ones. Her eyes have the hint of fear. Maybe too much fear. Her hands are cold and trembling as she placed it against my cheek staring at every corner of my face.

"Mammy, a-are you okay? What happened?" I sniffed as I held her hand against my cheek. She just stares at me not responding to the question that I just asked. I glanced at mum who's at the corner of the room just watching the both of us. She caught my eye and gave me a small smile but then she winces because of the nasty cut on her lip.

Mam took me again in her arms and holding me as close as possible to her. I was confuse and at the same time curious about what Mam had dreamed of. And I wanted to know what is it.

"Maxy, my baby, You're alive" My eyes widen at her statement. Why, did I die? Is that it, she dreamed that I was dead. 

"You're not grounded anymore. Not anymore.J-just please promise you won't leave us" She was desperate. Her arms are gripping on me too hard. She placed a deep kiss on my forehead and clings to me again.
