Just A Fool- Nathan Sykes (Fan Fiction)

Chapter 8- I'll Be Here

I parked in the driveway and stayed in the car for a little while, too scared to get out. My eyes were red and puffy and I looked absolutely terrible. The second my mother saw me she would know that something is wrong and I didn't want to worry her. I didn't have to tell her about the tumor just yet but I would have to tell her about Micheal. 

"Kelly! Oh, honey what's wrong?" She asked, her smile fading as soon as she saw my face. 

"Micheal and I broke up. I found him with another girl" I said, my voice shaky. She didn't say anything, she just opened the door wider, holding out her arms and I gladly went into them. I'm basically an adult but I would never be too old to be comforted by my mother's warm embrace. 

She sat me down on the couch, returning a little while later with two cuppas and a box of tissues. She placed the cuppas on the table in front of us, sitting down next to me. I had used up all my tears and my eyes were now dry but I took a tissue anyway. 

"I'm sorry sweety, I know how much you loved him. Who was it that he was with?" She asked kindly, with her soft voice trying to be as gentle and comforting as she could...But she didn't even know the worst of it and I wasn't ready to tell her. 

"He said she was an old friend. I found them kissing in the apartment and then I just left. We weren't working anyway even though I really wanted us to. He might not have been the one but he was right for me mum, we were good together" I explained, taking a sip of the tea when I finished. "I know you're upset and feel betrayed right now but it will pass Kelly, you said it yourself it wasn't working. Believe it or not I understand and I know what I'm talking about. You're young and have plenty of time, you will find someone amazing who will never cheat on you. You never know he might be right around the corner" She said and I started crying again, not because of Micheal but because of her saying I still have plenty of time because I might not. There's only one chance of me living and so many chances of me dying from this tumor. My mom looked worried and like her heart was breaking at me crying. She handed me tissues and I gladly took them, wiping my eyes although it didn't do much. 

"The feeling will pass Kelly I promise. You can stay here as long as you want" She said, handing me more tissues and putting her hand on my shoulder. I took my hand and placed it on top of hers. "Thank you mum. I love you" "I love you too sweety. You will find someone who loves you so so much I just know it" She smiled her loving smile at me. She didn't understand, she didn't know what was about to happen to me and I just didn't have the heart to tell her. Her heart will break and she'll try and pressure me into doing something more about it when I'm not even sure that I want to do something about it at all, besides take these pills for a little while. 

"I'll make you something to eat" She said, getting up and heading to the kitchen. As she was busy I went to my car and got out the rest of things, going back and forth because I couldn't carry it all at once. There was one last box, but as I took it out of the car I lost my balance and as I was about to drop the box and fall over a strong arm reached out from behind the box, grabbing my arm and supporting me so that I wouldn't fall, at the same time this stranger held onto the box before it too fell to the ground. 

"Thank you" I said, looking behind the box to see who this stranger was. Nathan. Ofcourse it would be him, coming to my rescue. At first I was happy to see him but then I decided I shouldn't be. I didn't want to see or talk to anyone else today besides my mother. Especially another guy who broke my heart" 

"What are you doing here Nathan" I said a little coldy and wanted to take back how harsh it sounded. He was only trying to help. "Good to see you too Kel. I'm for your mum actually, she needs some help with a few things she said and asked me to come over." He explained and I felt even worse for being so rude.
