Nicks P.O.V

"Message me?" Marnie asks as she opens the door.
"Sure." I reply and she sneaks out the room waving as she goes. My head hits the pillow as soon as I hear the door click closed. "Why the fuck do I do this to myself. Fucking self sabotage." I think to myself as I close my eyes.
The whole time I was having sex with Marnie I was imagining it was Sadie.
That's so fucked.

Sadie's P.O.V
*
"Oh my god Sadie. Oh my god. You're okay baby." My mums Irish accent pierces through me as she comes rushing over to me helping me up off the floor guiding me over to the sofa and forcing me to sit down. "Sadie baby, what did you do." My mum has tears rolling down her cheeks. "Thank goodness I came to visit you! Och Sadie what's going on with you silly girl." My mum continues pulling me into her.
"I don't know." I stutter tears now rolling down my cheeks as my mum holds me to her.
"You're coming home. For a few days, a week, however long it takes baby. We're going to the hospital and then you're coming home with your mammy until you're better, you hear me Sadie." My mum scolds me with concern.
"I'm so sorry..." It's all I can say. I can't help the words from practically falling out of me.
"Och, you get away with that. We're getting you better."

I feel like I can breathe again. Now I'm out of the city in the countryside with my mum on the island I feel human again.
It's crazy how conditioned you become to your surroundings. I'd become a settler living in London, just letting things pass me by, settling for whatever I could thinking it was enough. It never was. I finally know what I want and fuck it's taken me long enough to figure out.
"Hey Honey, here." My mum strokes my arm as she approaches me in the garden with a honey and ginger tea.
"Thank you." I smile taking the tea from her.
"So what's your plan?" My mum asks me, her voice sing songs at the question.
"God Mam, that's a good question. I wanna go away. I have enough saved, I could travel for probably a year without needing to work." I think aloud.
"So pretty set on travelling?" My mum confirms and I nod.
"Pretty set." I agree and sip on the tea.
"Where's the first stop?" My mum asks as I turn to her.
"I know exactly where but I don't know if they'll have me... anyways I need to see if my visa gets approved first." I sigh and my mum nods in agreement.
"Fuck it." My wee mum says making me giggle.
"Fuck it Mammy, I'm just gonna go for it."
