MY WAY - Amelia's Daughter

4. Hard

I woke up again much later surprised to find the bed empty. "Mom?" I called out but there was no reply. "Mom?" I asked again getting up.

    I kept wandering through the house. The floor was cold when i stepped down the stairs following the hallway to the kitchen.

    "Good morning Sunshine" Mom smiled.  "I woke up alone" I pouted. "I'm sorry baby I had to make breakfast for the kids, wanna pancake?" she apologized offering the plate. "Yeah" I said grabbing it to go sit on the couch.

    "Hey ZoZo" I smiled as my cousin entered the room. "hi" Zola scoffed arms crossed with a scowl. "Zo whats wrong" I asked. "Auntie Amy is being totally unfair" my cousin pouted. "How come?" I wondered.

    "Bailey was kicking me under the table and I started kicking him back but aunt amelia only yelled at me and not him and it's not fair! Everyone always takes his side" Zola groaned

    "ZoZo that's not true, they just cut him more slack because he's younger but it's nothing against you personally and i know that's frustrating but I'll always believe you if that helps" I smiled

    "Thank you Morgan" She said hugging me. "Of course" I replied. "Now what do we wanna watch?" I asked "Jessie!!" She exclaimed "all right then" I smiled flicking the buttons on the remote

Jakob: good morning :)

Me: maybe I don't really feel good so I

Jakob: no worries!
Me: :(

    "Mama do we have advil?" I asked "yeah in the cabinet, but what's wrong" she asked concerned. "Pmsing" to which she nodded in comprehension.
"Oh yep me too" she said to which I noticed she also had a hand on her abdomen.

    I decided bed rotting would be the most productive thing id be capable of today so thats what I did.

   I was quickly woken back up though because of the persistent stabbing in both my abdomen and now my head.

    I got in the shower and just stood under the water hoping it would break the discomfort but it came to no relief. I felt like I was gonna pass out and it was so cold but the water was burning my skin.

    When I got out my mom was waiting for me. "Is it any better?" she wondered. "Not at all" I admitted. "Well here's this but also one more thing" she smiled handing me a heating pad. One more thing?

    "What?" I questioned. "Someone's here for you" my mom revealed the person behind her to be Jakob before leaving us to have alone time.

    "Hey Morg" he smiled. I stretched out my arms for a hug before patting the bed beside me for him to sit down.

We curled up together to watch disney movies. He put an arm around me rubbing my back and I laid on his chest falling back asleep.

When I woke up again he was getting ready to go. "You're going already?" I frowned "yeah im sorry moe but it's almost 5 I have to be going home" he frowned as well "feel better" he said hugging me before walking out the door.

I got lonely so decided to look for my mama. "How was Jakob?" She asked as i stepped into the living room. "Good I just slept the whole time" I admitted. "Well that doesn't sound too bad" She laughed.

    "Mer wanted to go out to dinner tonight but if you don't wanna go we can stay home" she offered. "No it's fine I want to go" I said.

    I put on Outer Banks in boredom from the anticipation of my Aunt Mer coming home, another one of my mom and I's shows. Maybe TV is just our thing.
