The Lost Princess ||Jaksey

Chapter 8 - Miss Me?

Last time:

I finished cleaning the plate and was just tiding the worktop but I was interrupted but a knocking at the door.

The confusing thing is it wasn't the front door it was the garden door.

I remained still to see if I could hear anymore sounds from the garden door.

I heard knocking at the door again. I looked around the wall to see a closed the blind on the door.

I made my way over to the door and opened the blind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Miss me?"

"Mother! Where have you been these last few days?" I ask at her random appearance in front of me.

"I sorry honey I haven't been back. I've been so busy at work and I would finish stupid times in the morning and there was no point in coming home and disturbing you in your sleep"

"You could of at least sent a letter explaining I been sat in this home worrying you were gone forever" I say but in my head i was thinking not really I've been hanging out with the most wanted criminal.

If I told my mother the truth she would be so mad at me.

"Aww honey" mother says embracing me in a hug and squeezing me tight. "I'll never leave you again"

The words she said echoed in my head 'Ill never leave you again' im trapped im this house.

"Any who. How did you keep this house so clean?" she asked looking around the whole house.

"Well you know, when you finish reading all the revision book the next most interesting thing to do is cleaning" I said smile at her

Mother goes into the kitchen and goes through all the cupboards and gasps.

"Whats the matter?" I asked confused?

"The cupboards are almost empty. I complete forgot we were running low on food. I almost made you starve" mother says started to walk back and forth.

"Mother don't worry you can go you can leave tomorrow morning and go shopping" I say holding my mothers hand reassuring her.

"Are you sure? I don't want you to be alone" She asks concerned.

"Im sure mother. I'll be fine for one day"

"Thank you honey" mother kisses the top of my head.

"Well im going to bed I haven't had much lately" mother says making her way up the stairs.

"Goodnight mother" 

"Goodnight honey"

-------------------------

I sat in bed but couldn't sleep because I was thinking about how Jake was doing. I haven't heard anything about him on the news recently, so im guessing hes safe.

Wait.

Mothers going out tomorrow!

I can go and look for Jake and see if hes okay. 

The thought of seeing Jake again made my stomach turn.

And yawn. I was getting tired now. I laid down and closed my eyes drifting on to sleep.

--------------------------

I woke up to the sound of birds singing outside.

I looked at the time on the clock on my bedside table.

6:13am

I wonder if mother gone yet?

I make my way downstairs quietly encase shes still sleeping.

I go to the cupboards and remember we have hardly any food.

But luckily there was some cereal.

I grab a bowl and pour the cereal into the bowl and go to the fridge to get milk.

I open the fridge and thankfully see a carton of milk and grab it.

Walking back to the bowl I open the milk carton and pouring the milk on my cereal.

I stop straight away seeing the chunky milk go over my cereal.

I gag at the smell of rotton milk filling my nose.

I didn't bother having any cereal anymore because the milk put me off eating.

Instead I got out my notepad and started doodling random things. 

"What you drawing" I jump making a pencil mark across my notepad and turn around to see my mother looking guilty.

"Well nothing important so it don't matter" I say ripping out the page and throwing it in the bin.

"Sorry honey. Anyway I going out now the get food. I'll be back later tonight" she kissed my check out goes out the front door locking it and taking the keys with her.

As soon she left the house drive way I sprinted up the stair and grabbed my packed bag with stuff I need for the day. 

I went back downstairs and went straight toward the garden door. I stepped out the house locking the door and putting the keys in the plant pot next to the door. 

I put the bag on my back and went around the corner to see the gate. I ran up to the door and pulled myself up and jumped down the other side. 

I was free once again.
