Be Mine

Mason's P.O.V
I close the door behind me and walk inside. Emma is sitting on the laptop.
" Hello Em," I say, putting my bag on the ground.
She didn't say anything. I sigh and she looks at me and then back at the screen.
" Emma, come on, why are you still mad at me?"
" Mhm," she said, looking at the screen.
" Emma!" I say a little louder.
" Mhm," she said again.
I could feel myself getting angrier.
" EMMA LOUISE CLARK!" I yell full of anger.
She looks up scared.
" Why do you never listen to me? I just wanted to protect you from being hurt!"
" You ended up hurting me anyway."
" Emma," I sigh.
" What."
" It's my birthday."
She look up at me with surprised eyes.
" Oh um," she said awkwardly.
" I'll be back later," I say quietly leaving the room.
I know that my sister doesn't like me very much but the least she could do was remember my birthday.
Well I'm going to spend it with Beth, the only person I feel loves me right now.

Speaking of people who love me. I can't wait to visit mum soon. She can finally have visitors. I can't wait to her her American accent again. Her loving hazel eyes and warm smile.

Anyway I'm getting off track, I need to call Daniel.
" Hello?" Daniel's voice rang out through the phone.
" Hey mate."
" Oh happy birthday Mason, I'll be out the front in in ten minutes!"
" Okay, see you."

Wow even my taxi drive remembered my birthday but not my sister. Ouch. But don't get me wrong, Daniel is a lovely guy! Okay, I sounds gay now.'I think I might stop.

" Hello birthday boy!" Beth greets me with her beautiful smile.
" Hello beautiful girl!"
I put my fingers under her chin and bring her lips to mine. We kiss for a few seconds then pull apart.
" How has your day been cutie," she says, tapping my nose.
" Not very good, Emma forgot my birthday."
Her eyes soften and her smile turns to a frown.
" That's horrible. I'm so sorry," she says looking at the ground.
" Don't be darling."
She looked up and her cheeks were bright red.
" Awe, someone is blushing. What do you like the name, darling?" I tease her.
" Stop!" She says, looking away.
" Hey darling, how are you today, darling?"
" Mason stop!"
" Aww come on darling."
" Okay, I like it when you call me darling," she admits, turning away.
" Aww, your so cute Beth," I say.
" Not as cute as you!"

We walk in the park for a bit. Beth's tiny hand laced in my hand. She was leading me somewhere for a surprise.
" Okay, I'm gonna blindfold you for this part!"
" What?"
" Trust me, okay?"
" Okay."
She blindfolds me and leads me to a somewhere I can't describe because I'm um, blindfolded?
" Okay, 3,2,1," she rips off my blindfold.

Oh.
My.
God.
Is.
This.
Real.
" Mum?"
" Mason!" She throws her hands up in the air.
" Mum, it really is you isn't it!"
" No, I'm an airplane," she says, embracing me in a hug.
" I have missed you so much it isn't funny."
" Beth is a good girlfriend. She used all of her allowance to bail me out."
" Beth, what did you do this for?"
" I don't know, maybe because, I love you?" She giggles.
" I love you more," I say running over to her and giving her a kiss.
" Ew, get a room you too," mum says.
Beth pulls away and looks down awkwardly.
" I'm only kidding you Beth," she giggles.
I'm back with my mum! I'm back with my mother!
