Over again|| Thomas Sangster

9~ hidden

Scarlets pov.

I remember that night like it was yesterday. My mum had cancer. She was diagnosed when I was 17 and she died a year ago. Her and Thomas got along well and she loved him like he was her own.

Thomas was sad she died but I was crushed. Mum and I were quite close, it was just us when I was growing up. My dad and I never met he left when I was born so I don't know a lot about him so it was Mum and I against the world.

The doctor, Dr Ash, said she only had 3 months to live, then it turned to 1 month to 1 week then it wouldn't be long. I cherished every moment I had with her. She tried to stay happy and out on a smile but she was in constant pain and each day she seemed even more lifeless.

I was sitting in the hospital chair just staring at her remembering all of the good times. Thomas was busy at work and he tried to stay bit he had to go I understood. That was the night she died.

*flashback*

I sat on the warm uncomfortable hospital chair while gripping my mother's hand. She was asleep and seemed to not be in any pain. It wouldn't be long before she was gone. I started to think about our life before all of this and I missed it.

As I was day dreaming the beeping sound immediately snapped me into reality. Things started to go off on the machines and I didn't know what was happening. Dr Ash and some nurses rushed in seconds later and went to her aid.

I stood there shocked. This couldn't be happening not now!! As I went up to her bed that was crowded I felt a pair of hands latch onto my arms and said I needed to leave. What! NO!! I'm not leaving I need to be here. I shouted at her and this just caused me to get dragged out by three people.

They locked the doors and I dropped to my knees. I could tell by the look In Dr Ash's face that this time she wasn't going to wake up. I felt warm tears sting my eyes but I wouldn't let anyone see.

I bolted into the hospital bathrooms and into one of the stalls. As soon as I was alone I let it all out. I started to bawl and couldn't seem to stop. She was gone... forever.

*end of flashback*

I explained the whole thing to Thomas in between sobs and he looked pained. I didn't know if it was because I was crying or because he remembered my mum dying. He pulled me into a comforting hug and started to calm me down and rubbed circles on my back.

I took a breath and pulled apart. I was not as worked up and I thanked Tommy for helping. "It's okay... I didn't just remember what happened but I felt it, I felt everything," he whispered.

That is good , he may be getting better slowly but still it's an accomplishment. I wipe my eyes and stand up and wanted to change the mood. I put a smile on my face and said 'let's change the subject'.

Thomas nodded and said like what. I thought for a second and then something popped up.

It wasn't anything fancy but why not. "Wanna have have a nerd gun war?" I smirk at him. He looked at me suprised, we used to play it all the time but he doesn't remember. It's really simple.

"So technically we have nurf guns and we have a list each. On the list is ten things that are hidden in the house. First person to find all ten things has to then hunt for the other person and shoot them... oh and it's in the dark we get torches!!" I explained.

His eyes lit up and he looked keen. He started to nod a hundred times and we started to set up. I wrote ten things on a list and gathered them and then hid them. Thomas did the same. We then got a nurf gun each and bullets.

We had a mini torch and I put my hair in a high only tail. I changed my pants into a camo pants. They looked cool and blended in. We swapped lists and I we turned the lights off and went outside. I went to the front yard while Tommy went to the back yard.

When it was time to go in I started to make my way inside. I opened the lost and shine my torch on it.

1. Mario carts wii game
2. your black eyeliner.
3. My sponge Bob shirt
4. my favorite cologne
5. packet of oreos
6. your blue nail polish
7. The titanic movie
8. The 'divergent' book
9. The polar bear teddy
10. your black and white purse

Goodluck :)

I smirk. I rest my gun on a holder and I hear shuffling. I hide behind the couch and see Thomas enter the living room with the torch shining. We were allowed to shoot each other during but we had to shoot each other at the end.

I crawl up behind him and I raise my gun. I aimed at his back and fire. He jumps in suprise and turned around but I hid behind a table so he couldn't see me. He raised his nerf gun and torch " two can play that game!" he says.
