My Mother, The Counselor

Chapter Fourteen

Molly and Stephen became more of a distant memory as the weeks went on. I had been spending the school days with my other friends. Except 'friends' isn't exactly what they are. They're more like fans of mine.

'So, Mia.' Charlotte Newberry began, trotting behind me as I strutted down the wide hallway. 'We heard there's a huge party in Duke's this weekend. Are we going?'

'Yeah are we going?' The rest of the followers beside Charlotte echoed.

'Well I'm busy this weekend so-' I began.

'Oh what are we doing?' Lauren Frankfort cut in.

'Well I'm hanging out with Blake. He's coming to visit tomorrow until Sunday.' I said, irritably.  'But you guys go. Have fun.'

The weeks had gone by extremely slowly since Molly and Blake decided to leave my side. Finally, we reached the eve of the 17th of April. Blake would be arriving tomorrow and he was staying in Stephen's house. I couldn't wait to see him. We had planned to spend the whole day on Friday together. I couldn't wait.

I looked bewildered at the hyper teens staring at me, looks of disappointment in their eyes.

'But, you're Mia Moore.' Charlotte stated.

Charlotte's right I thought. You have to go. You're the It Girl. Molly told you herself. Blake wouldn't mind, would he?

'I'm sure Blake would love to come too.' I decided.

'Blake!' I screamed as his van pulled into my driveway.

Blake leapt out of the car and his smiley face appeared. He looked different, but a good different. I could practically see his crystal eyes glistening through his black RayBans. He was dressed better than he usually dressed; a short sleeved blue shirt, with beige knee length shorts, and a pair of dark blue deck shoes.

I ran as fast as my legs could take me into Blake's warm arms. His arms wrapped around my waist and he effortlessly picked me up and spun me around over and over again until we were both dizzy enough.

'Hello my magical Mia!' He sang.

Blake and I had been talking every day since he left. Over Skype, texting, Facebook, whatever there was. Even though we'd never fallen out of contact, it felt like we hadn't spoken in years.

We made our way into the house to Lucy's prepared lunch. Blake greeted my mum and Lucy with two warm hugs and chatted to them for longer than I wanted. It felt like they were stealing him from me.

Clearly that's ridiculous because that's my mum and Lucy. It's not like it was a super hot model he was talking to.

Not that that would bother me either.

We made our way into the kitchen and munched into Lucy's feast. We chatted with mum and Lucy for two hours at the table about everything that was going on in our lives. For the rest of the afternoon, Blake and I hung out in my room watching many movies from my marvellous collection. Soon, our chilled out reunion was ruined when Mark and James decided to invade our space yet again. I decided the polite thing to do would go downstairs to them and introduce Blake.
