Once again

chapter 30

Aunt Tiffany ordered some food in the room . after eating I went to sleep in my room . I woke up around 2.a.m. Mom was still not back. Then I decided to go and look for her on my own. Then I remembered my mom's words never go around any new place alone .

I decided to take Brian with me . I again banged on his room door. " wake up Brian now . We have to go look for my mom" I shouted and he opened the room door . " you are still in your jeans" I said looking at him .

" these days I have to be ready for anything because you have gone crazy since after the camp " he said yawning in sleep . Brian and I went to the restaurant but one of the waiters told us my mom and ryan left already.

then I went out to parking area to look for his car . Ryan's car was still their . " what if they went to the club , it's the only place open till morning here " he said . " yeah , lets go and look" I followed him . Then we got on line . After fifteen minutes standing their . We were near the entrance. One guard asked us to show our ID proof.

" you both don't look like adults" he said . He cornered us and to let other people get inside . " please, sir let us in . We are looking for my friends mother may be she came here with one of her friends" said Brian . " why don't you come up with something more appropriate explanation boy ?" Said guard .

then I went through my phone looking for picture of mom . " hey , this is my mom and me . Have you seen her going in " I said showing him the picture . "

" This crazy lady is your mother . She is Inside and drinking non-stop with her friend or boyfriend" he said . He took us towards the bar . Mom was sitting on the bar counter. Ryan was wasted and sleeping on the floor . She had a bottle of champagne in her hand.

" mom , let's go to our room " I said trying to get her down . " no des dear there is something I need to tell to people here tonight " she said . " let her talk des , she is drunk . she won't listen to anything we say " said Brian asking me to sit down and listen to her .

" all my friends here tonight . I wanna tell you my story . eleven years ago , I came to newyork from San Francisco . it was three months before my marriage . I started working in this coffee shop and I fell in love with a seventeen year old boy . he is so cute and handsome . I loved it , when he smiled . I became friends with him . he wanted to be a photographer . after three months, he Left for France but I never told him that I loved him . I could not be so selfish because I knew he liked me then too , so he would've give up his dream. But today I'm with him again here in Paris . this my Friend right here with me is the boy Ryan black and tonight I tell him about my feelings . I love you Ryan " said mom going near Ryan who is asleep having no idea of what's going on .

A man behind us claps for my mother . all the guards and people clapped for her . Brian was crying like a baby . " stop ! Crying and help me carry my mom up to our room " I said to him . " fine , your so cold " he said . " I already know my mom's story " I said . We carried my mom on our shoulders . She was trying to go back to Ryan but we stopped her .

after making mom sleep on bed Brian left to his room . I just thought when mom will confess to ryan about her feelings when she us sober . If aunt tiffany found out about this . She is definitely going to give mom a big lecture on being adult .

but I'm happy she admitted to herself that how much she loves Ryan . Whatever happens but I will make her do it . I looked at time only three days are left and if I didn't do anything time will fly again for my mother . This is a second chance for her to have a once again .

there was a knock on the door , I opened it . " are you ready to go the Louvre " she asked . " yeah just me and mom will be down in ten minutes " I said closing the door . I woke up mom quickly . " let me sleep tiff , my head is pounding" said mom .
