Its later in the evening and I just put Justin to bed and I’m sitting in the living room with Nadine

“you okay Nadz?” I ask

“yeah I’m fine babes I’m finally starting to get over Jason” she smiles

“that’s good babes” I smile back I move over to the other sofa where she is sitting and I put my arm around her shoulders and she rests her head on my shoulders and she lets out a sigh

“what’s wrong hun?” I say

“oh its nothing just thinking about me family” she says

“why don’t you go over there?” I say

“coz I don’t want to leave you” she laughs

“babes I will be fine go see your family you ain't seen them in awhile” I say Nadine doesn’t see her family a lot as they live in Ireland and I know she misses them a lot

“I might do, I know why don’t you come with me?” she says looking at me

“really?” I say

“yeah why not I mean you’ve met me family before and I know they will be happy to see you and little Justin” she smiles

“hmmm” I say thinking

“go on it will be fun” she says

“yeah okay I will go with you” I smile

“yay” she says and hugs me

Cheryl’s POV

I walk into me flat after work to see that it is spotlessly clean I will have to thank me mam for that I walk into the kitchen to see her sitting at the table drinking tea

“hello pet have a good day at work?” she asks

“yeah it was good” I smile and I start making me self a tea

“I cleaned up a bit round here it was messy” she says

“I know I haven’t really had time to clean thanks” I smiles showing my dimples off I sit down at the table and drink my drink, an hour later and I go to go in Nicola’s room when I open the door I gasp in shock me mam been in here she has cleaned everything changed the bed removed the top off of the floor I storm out of the room to find when I do I shout

“why did you go in there!”

“it was messy so I thought I’d cleaned it” she says

“but was her room I haven’t even touched a thing in there I left it like it was for the 4 years!” I say tears streaming down me face

“oh pet I’m sorry I didn’t know” she says and reaches out to touch me I move away from the touch

“you shouldn’t have gone in there!” I shout and ran to my room I slam the door shout and fall onto my bed and cry I reach for me phone and I find a text message there I open it to see its from me step mom Sarah

I put on my phone down and start to think every year since Nicola died I’ve been going to me dads and I spend a week up there for her birthday its become a sort of annual thing for us now we celebrate her life and we look at old pictures of her, it’s a nice day really I always feel like she is there with us I slip into some PJs and I climb into bed I think about the next few days ahead and I fall asleep.
