Chapter 42

It was Darnells birthday today. And the day of his little party. I sat up in my bed and took out my phone.

To: Darnell x

Happy birthday Dee.. Thanks

for everything...x

I pressed send and put my phone back down. Within a couple minutes i heard my other phone go off. I unlocked my blackberry and read his pings.

😴Smirkz😴:
- Thanks b. Are you coming to my party later?
- And did you think about what I said?

C:
- I don't know D.
- And not yet.

😴Smirkz😴:
- You're really gonna let me down on my bday yea?

I sighed and ignored him. I couldn't be asked to argue. I wasn't even in the mood. My best girl friend has gone, things aren't even the same between me and my boy bestfriend, I hardly speak to Cashel anymore. What was here for me? Nothing. Nothing at all. I would be lying to myself if I said that I wanted to be here. I'd be lying to myself If I said that there was still something here for me. I got up and went into my draw retrieving my mums bedroom key. I went to my mums door and unlocked it. I hadn't been in here in mooonths! Her smell was still lingering in the air. Her voice was playing in my head, her laugh and her cries. Everywhere I looked there were pictures of me, my mum and my dad. It brought tears to my eyes. I took a deep breath and went into her draws. There had to be numbers here somewhere. A family member that I could stay with or someone!

I rumaged through her stuff taking everything out. Nothing in the first drawer, or second draw or third draw! I sighed and went through her wardrobe. Nothing. I sat on the floor and sighed. I ignored the tears that were rolling down my cheeks. I sniffed and got up. But something caught my eyes. I put my hand behind the draw and took out a book. I wiped the dust away and opened it. There were contacts and old family members names and numbers... I flicked through and through not recognising any of the names. I got the end and screamed in frustration! How could I not know ANY of them! I kissed my teeth and was about to close the book when her name popped up.

Jennette Wayans

My grandma from my mums side..I ran downstairs and grabbed the house phone. I dialled the number. I haven't seen her in over 6 years. I heard 3 beeps and then the phone cut off. Of course..it would be an old number. God knows how old this address book is. I threw the phone and put my head in my hands. This is a ridiculous idea. I don't even know who im trying to kid. I can't leave. The phone rang. Grr! Really. I picked it up and answered.

"YES?!" I answered

"Hi, this number just called.." A soft voice said

"H-huuh?" I said confused..

"You called this number? I think it may have been a mistake" She said

"G-Grandma? ..It's me.. It's Cassie" I said

She gasped.. and then it went silent ..

"H-hello? Are you still there?" I asked

"Yes baby yes! Oh my goodness Cassie how are you darling?" She asked

"Im fine Grandma ..It's been so long" I said

"W-hat's happening? How have you been baby? Cassie can you meet me please? I would love to see you today!" She said

"Yeah, yeah sure.. do you think you can text me your address?" I asked

"Absolutely.."

I gave her my mobile number and waited for her to text me her address. I couldn't believe it.. After all these years my grandma's number was still in this house. I ran back upstairs and looked at her address that had just come through. I was gonna see her today. Definately..
