Chapter 7

November 9th. 11/09.

Cue didn't even realize it was her birthday at first, the days were blending together, just following each other rapidly one after another.

But nevertheless it was November 9th and Cue was now 22 years old. The last six years of her life a part of her hoped that she would randomly die so she wouldn't have to keep living

She just wanted to be with her mom again.

But here she was another year older and her heart was still very much beating inside of her chest.

Buggy jumped up onto her bed at the sound of her alarm and eagerly began licking her face. She chuckled at him before lightly pushing him off. She grabbed her phone off her nightstand, her eyes adjusting to the brightness and saw she had numerous amounts a texts from various people.

Zekester:

Coach Mo:

   Cue:

AZZi:

Uncle Tim:

I hope you still don't feel guilty about leaving, Katie and I are just glad you're okay and doing well
Come with Azzi next time she comes down to visit, we love and miss you so so much Cj

Tears welled in Cue's eyes at her uncle's message, she hadn't been expecting him to reach out, much less say anything like that. She'd spent so many years feeling guilty about what she done and believing her family didn't love her anymore and they were, just glad that Cue still existed.

Cue:
Hey, it's nice to hear from you, I wasn't expecting it
I love and miss you guys too
I 'm sorry about everything , I wish  I did things differently
I'll see if I can get the time off work to visit with Azzi

A huge grin replaced her tears as Cue read the last message she had, a giddy feeling consuming her.

Nika💙:

Cue:
  You're so sweet Nika thank you

Talk later

Once Cue was done replying to all of her messages she threw her covers off of her and went outside to the balcony that was connected to her bed room. Every single year on her birthday, her mom would wake her up at the crack of dawn and make her watch the sunrise. When she was younger she never appreciated it, because no kid wants to ever wake up early on their birthday.
