'Til I Found You - (A Nathan Sykes Love Story)

Chapter 14 - Freedom is Now Mine

*Freya’s P.O.V*

The rain trickled gently down the window pane. I clutched the book to my chest and sighed. I looked out at the rain trickling from the big black clouds in the sky. It was a great day for a funeral. I pulled the blanket up around my ears and snuggled in tight. On a day like today, I didn’t want to move an inch. I just wanted to cuddle on the couch, watching a movie and munching on some chocolaty delights. I was almost tempted to kick up a fuss and spend the day doing what I liked as opposed to attending the funeral. I wouldn’t be missed, especially when I was the only family mum had. She wouldn’t have been expecting anyone else. It was probably something that I would regret for a lifetime, but it seemed like the only way I could make my mum pay for causing so much pain in my life.

I threw off the blanket, tossed mum’s diary to the floor and tiptoed across the floor and down the stairs. I kicked my heels halfway across the living room and leap for the safety of the coach. Oh how I missed its soft, warm pillows over the past few days. The pain of losing mum was being to seep away. I survived without my father for most of my life, I was almost sure I could survive without my alcoholic, pain in the backside mum. Now I could do what I liked. I could eat strawberry ice cream for dinner, or go to bed without washing my teeth, or even go to nightclubs and get plastered. Life was now mine to live.

My first call of action was to join Twitter. I never understood the whole hype associated with it. Mum was a little overprotective when it came to internet usage. I was never allowed browse the internet. She felt ‘the internet was a place where hyperactive teenagers exploited young, vulnerable people for their own entertainment.’ I could never see it from her aspect. Now that she was no longer there to slate me for my terrible decisions regarding my decisions of internet sites, I could do what I wanted. Now, what I wanted to do was join Twitter and that’s what I did. It was difficult to understand the concept at first, but once I got used to it, it was a doddle. I could see myself getting addicted pretty quickly.

I threw my phone beside me and grabbed the television remote. I was going to find an awesome movie to watch, but there was a knock on the door. The last time I heard that sound, I found out that my mother owed loan sharks over 50,000 pounds and now I have to find the money somewhere to pay them off before they cause some hassle. I always knew she would leave her mark on the world somehow and I guess this was it. I headed for the door, almost slipping and sliding along the wooden floor on my way over. I stood on my tippy toes and peeped through the peep hole, to see Nathan on the other side with a massive bunch of red roses in his right hand. He looked very handsome in his black suit. I just wanted to stand there the whole time and look at him, but I had to let them in at some point. 

The door was only open just ajar when Mollie pushed her way in, followed by Nathan who clutched her hand lovingly. ‘I got you these’ Nathan smiled, handing me the bunch of roses. A smile crept across my face like I was a little child on Christmas morning. After receiving death stares from his girlfriend, he recited his sentence again, ‘we got you these for your mother’s grave.’ My smile faded. I still wished it was me holding his hand and not her. She didn’t deserve him; neither did I but I’d still prefer if that was me. He deserved someone special; someone that loved him not because he was part of one of the most recognised bands across the world, but because of the person he was on the inside. She didn’t look past the money in his bank account, or even his youthful looks. All longed for was fame. All I longed for was him. I couldn’t have him though, because she had him.

‘You look beautiful’ he gushed, eying me up from head to toe. I pulled down the hem of my dress, after realising that it had wandered around my backside. I didn’t even need to look at Mollie to realise that she was staring at me with daggers. If looks could kill then mum wouldn’t be the only one being buried. ‘You ready to go?’ he asked, noticing obvious tension in the room. ‘I’m not going’ I blurted. His face dropped like a pancake. ‘Yes you are. Put on your shoes and get in the car’ he instructed. ‘No daddy’ I whined stamping my feet on the ground. ‘Freya, get in the car before I spank your ass’ he growled, before cracking a smile. He face numbed again. ‘Shoes, car’ he instructed. I felt obliged to do what he said. It felt like he was the only person I had, but I knew it wasn’t going to last forever. Son enough he’d be off down to London to meet the boys and he’d probably have Mollie on his arm. I’d be all alone again and I wasn’t sure how to feel about it. I was happy to have mums burdens off my chest, but to be without Nathan again, that was almost killing me inside. My era of freedom was temporarily over.
