Alone

(Part 7)

Mia's pov-

i woke up the next morning with charlotte in my arm. i could get used to this. no Mia what are you thinking she's just out of a marriage a new relationship is probably the last thing on her mind right now. just then her alarm goes off and her eyes flutter open. "Morning sweetheart" i say reaching over and turning her alarm off. "morning" she says stretching. we both get up and start getting ready for work. i was in Marjorie's nursery again today which was fine since my keys are still locked in my car over there. i make us both a coffee before heading out the door and getting into Charlottes car. "Thank you for yesterday, and letting me stay over" honestly having her stay over was nice. ever since me and Reece broke up every time i come home i was alone so the company was nice last night. "no problem sweetheart i didn't mind at all" we arrive  at the nursery and i walk to Marjorie's office to find out what room I'm in. "hello my love why did you leave ur car here last night?" i completely forgot about that. i tell her everything that happened with my mum and how Charlotte offered me a lift. "Oh my love i'm so sorry, you shouldn't be in work today" i felt bad leaving them short staffed but she insisted. i call a guy i knew and he came over and got my keys out of my car for me. i then drove straight to the hospital to see my mum. last time i was there i didn't really ask any questions i was just so relieved she was okay. but now I'm angry at her. was she really going to leave me? she promised she would get help and get better. but that was clearly a lie. a lot of the things she says are lies. i arrive at her hospital and walk into her room. "Mia hon shouldn't you be at work?" how can she act so normal after everything? "no i have the day off" i say blankly. i sit in the chair beside her. we sit like that for what feels like forever. "why?" is all i could manage to say. "i don't know Mia I'm sorry hon." is she serious? that's all she can say. i want to be mad at her. i so badly want to but how can i? she's my mother and I'm afraid if i get mad at her she'll try this again. i stay with her the rest of the day and ask the doctors if i can take her home. they agree to let me take her and we get into my car and i drive her back to mine. we were sitting in the living room when i hear a knock at my door. that's weird I'm not expecting anyone. i love the door at see Charlotte standing there. What is she doing here? "hey Mia, i hope i'm not interrupting anything but i think i left my purse here" i hadn't even looked around my house since i got home i have been so focused on my mother. "oh okay i'm sure its around here somewhere" she follows me upstairs to my room and it's laying on my locker. "here you go" i say handing it to her. we walk downstairs and just as we get to the bottom my mother walks out of the living room. great. "Mia who's this?" i haven't had the chance to tell my mum about Charlotte yet i was about to answer when Charlotte beat me to it. "i'm Charlotte Mia's friend. it's nice to meet you" they shake hands before my mother says "I'm Megan Mia's mum" they quickly fall into conversation and i'm glad they are getting along Charlotte ends up staying for a while. the three of us just sit in my living room getting to know each-other. my mum goes to bed not long after leaving me and Charlotte alone. "so the kids with there dad again tonight?" i see her look down at the floor before saying "Yeah it's just so lonely without them" i feel so bad, i know exactly what it's like to feel lonely after living with someone for years. "ur welcome to stay again tonight, if you want" she looks up from the floor making eye contact with me. "that would be nice" i take her hand and we both walk up to my bedroom. i give her the same pyjamas i gave her the night before and we both get into bed falling asleep for the second night in a row.
