Running with the wolves (On Hold)

Chapter 8

2 months later      

"Get up, get up, get up"  

"Lynn stop jumping on my bed"  

"Lani get uuuuup we're going to America!"  

"But I want to sleep"  

"Lanette Julia Taylors if you don't get out of bed this instant I'll get you out myself"  

"I'd like to see you try"    

I heard her huff and jump off the bed. Smiling to myself I snuggled back into my pillow knowing she's given up.      

Drip. Drip. Drip  

"What the?" wiping my head where the water dripped I moved and snuggled back into the pillow      

Drip. Drip. Drip. SPLASH      

"WHAT!" Sitting up quickly I felt someone push me, next minute I've face planted the floor.  

"Ouch"  

"Ok now that you're out of bed go in the bathroom while I plan your outfit for today"      

Mumbling under my breath I got up, picked up my towel and left the room. That child will be the death of me.   After using the bathroom I walked back to my room where my outfit was laid out on the bed. Creaming my skin I put on my matching underwear set and a dark blue off the shoulder crop top with worn light blue denim shorts, brushing my hair I put it up into a high ponytail and put on some red lipstick and eyeliner. Picking up my high-top styled wedges I walked downstairs to find the usual big breakfast laid out on the table Jordan looking half asleep, Lynn bouncing like a lunatic, mum eating and dad drinking his coffee.      

"Morning all"      

I got a chorus of mornings and my passed me my plate of food. Finishing the food I helped mum clear up the table while everyone else pilled mine and Lynn's suitcases in the car. Mum was abnormally quiet like she is when she's got a lot on her mind.      

"What's wrong mum?"  

"It's nothing baby don't worry"  

"No tell me"      

She put down the pot she was washing and looked at me with tears in her eyes, "Mum what’s wrong?"  "You're gonna be gone for half a year Lanette I'm gonna miss you so much"      

Pulling her into a hug my eyes filled up with tears as well, "I'm gonna miss you too mummy but we're gonna text all the time and Skype at least once a week"  

"You better not forget us"  

"I could never forget you mummy"      

We were both sobbing lightly holding each other tightly and that's how Lynn and Jordan found us.     

"What's wrong?! Mum? Lanette?"      

Me and mum separated, "Don't worry Jordan I'm just gonna miss Lanette that's all"  

Jordan visibly relaxed and then tensed up again when Lynn burst into tears, "W-what happened now?!"    

I walked over to Lynn placing my hand on her arm,

"Lynn?"  

"My parents didn't even want to spend the last night I'm here with them, they don't care"      

She threw herself into my arms where I held onto her tightly, "It's alright Lynn they don't know what an awesome person they're missing out on"  

My mum came up behind Lynn and hugged her from behind, "Don't worry Lynn you're my daughter as well and I'll be thinking about you all the time"
