The Last Song(5sos fan fiction)

Chapter 35

Kat's Pov

I had spent all last night and majority of this morning packing my things. I decided to at least wait until Max was out the hospital to leave. I heard my mother knock lightly on the door. She'd been really distant toward me ever since I had told her about me wanting to go back to England. I wonder if it hurt her feelings, me saying I didn't want to be here anymore.
"Come in." I mumbled as I continued to fold some of the clothes. 
My mother came into the room and quietly sat on the bed. "Do you need help packing?"
"If you want to help I guess." I said with a smile.
"Is this really what you want Katrina?" My mum asked. I knew this was her was of convicting me to stay with her, but it wasn't here I was trying to leave. It wasn't even LA. It was the people here.
I sighed and paused my folding for a minute. "Please don't make this harder than it has to be." I said quietly. "Fine," she said. "If you still want a ride to go see Max I'm leaving in 20 minutes. Your flight is Friday night." She said leaving my room. I could feel the headache forming at the front of my head as I sighed and tried to get my thoughts together. I needed to go back home. It's what's best for me right?

I got up and put on the nearest pair of sweats and converses I could find. I slowly made my way down the stairs walking past my mum on the couch, holding her head in her hands. "I'll be in the car." I mumbled as I grabbed the keys off the counter and made my way to the car.
I turned on the radio to try to drown out everything else and just waited for my mum to come out the house.
Why was I feeling like this? I've never had to deal with emotions like this before. Deal with feeling this way. So why now?

My mum got into the drivers seat leaving the radio blasting how it was. I guess she was trying not to start conflict.
We drove to the hospital in complete silence. I said I love you as I got out the car and I got nothing in return but seeing her speed away.
Was she angry with me?
I shook it off and entered the building and went through the routine of signing myself in and walking to Max's room. Surprisingly I saw Jazlyn. She must have missed school to come today. "Oh hey Jazz, wasn't expecting to see you here today." I started calling her that more and more lately. I guess I was just getting more comfortable with her. "Hey Kat. And yeah I just found out about it this morning actually so I asked my mom to pick me up from school." She smiled "Of course she said no, so I just had a friend of mine sign me out since he's on my emergency contact list."
"Oh." I replied nodding my head slightly. I looked at Jazlyn and she didn't look to well. She looked skinner than I last remember. I haven't really seen her since break. And she looked kind of pale. She didn't have that natural glow her caramel skin usually have off. "So what is this about you moving back to England?" Jazlyn said. "What?" Max said rather loudly.

"Was I not supposed to say that?" Jazlyn said.

"Max I was going to tell you about it today."

"But why, like why are you leaving? What's the point?" Max asked she sounded frantic. Jazlyn watched as the heart monitor steadily increased.

"I just feel like it's what's best for me at the moment. I was at least going to wait until you were out the Hospital and back home before I left."

Max was silent. The room was silent besides the steady beeping of the heart monitor. "Jazlyn, could you excuse us for a second?" Max asked. Jazlyn nodded her head and exited the room.

"Is this about Luke?" Max said.

"What about Luke?"

"You found out didn't you? I was going to tell you but.." Max gestures towards the iv in her arm and around the room.

I rolled her eyes, just as I expected. More people knew. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone knew besides her.
