Chapter Thirty-Three - Gone Again

There's a blaring and extremely annoying sound sounding throbbing waves through my head. I attempt to ignore it but it just wont stop and after ten calls I give in and answer the evil device.

"Hello?" I say groggily.

"Why'd you just leave?" FeeFee says WAY too loudly into my ear. I groan my frustration and she lets out a snicker at my misery. "You had a few too many last night missy." She tuts. "Anyway, Why'd you leave?"

"Got bored." I mumble, hoping she didn't somehow find out about the boys.

"Sure there wasn't a certain blue eyes blond dude that drew you else where?" She asks, mischievously.

"Ew, no. The boys mouth was like a suction machine." I tell her before I can stop myself, hiding my face behind my hands in humiliation. Though I'm the only one here to see.

My comment was apparently hysterical to FeeFee however and sets her off in stitches. We speak for a little longer about what happened to the rest of her night and then said our goodbyes.

I stay in bed just staring at the ceiling for a few minutes more and then seeing how early it still is decide to get out in case I bump into my mother. How'd I even get home? I hope she was asleep or out when I got back. The thought doesn't sit well.

I end up at the lake and not really feeling up to a run I walk around a few times instead. Kicking leaves and twigs as I go.

My phone vibrates indicating a text but I don't check it for the moment listening to the breeze blow through the trees and the water. I do love it here.

I take a seat on a bench and look out at the nature around me, taking it all in. It's calming, but lonely here. I decide to take a photo of it, the way the ripples in the lake glisten and the light dusting of leaves sit on top make it look like you could almost walk on it, its just that beautiful, I want to remember this moment.

That's new.

I'm about to put my phone into my back pocket, but then remember the text, and when I check it I wish I hadn't.

MUM: GONE FOR TWO WEEKS. MONEY ON TABLE.

My heart sinks. I don't know why she even bothered to message. A part of me expected an apology; pleading and taking back all the hurtful words. I think that I will always wait. She is my mother after all. No matter what she says, to me she is my only family. Even though she has left me alone. It's been a full week since we saw each other. So much has happened in such a short amount of time.

At least now I can go home. Stay home over the weekend instead of having to hide away. Maybe this means she's okay though? If she's off on another trip, at least stopped drinking. She still doesn't seem to care that much but if she had started drinking as a regular thing I'm not sure what I'd do.
