All alone

Chapter 8

I wake up the next morning with birds chirping and the sun shining through my window. Everything outside look so peaceful and calm. The events from yesterday came rushing in my head and a big smile appeared on my face. I went to the bathroom to freshen up. After I was done brushing my teeth, taking a shower and washing my hair, I wrapped the towel around me leaving my arms free. I picked up a pair of undergarments and then an outfit for the day. I put them on and put on a little bit of make up. Once I was done I put my phone in my back pocket and went downstairs for breakfast.

"Hi honey, how was your Winter Prom?" My mom asked.

"It was fun." I exclaimed trying not to give away too much information.

"It was fun. That's it. I mean did you and that boy dance, talk, maybe shared a kiss or two." My cheeks were now blushing making it look like I put too much blush make up on.

"MOM!" I yelled.

"What I just want to know. I want to know if things will ever be good again." she said.

"Prom was fun, exciting and also I won Winter Prom Queen and Jake, my prom date won Winter Prom King. We did share a kiss but it wasn't on the lips or anything. I kissed his cheek and then he told me that he had an amazing time. I replied with the same comment. Afterwards, he said Goodnight Angel and I said Goodnight Jay. By the way he dropped me home right after Prom ended." Once I had finished my mom was jumping up and down like a teenager who just got tickets to see One Direction or Justin Bieber.

"OMG! I am so happy for you. I'm sorry we couldn't get to see you when you came home but hearing it now makes me really happy. Go get your crown I wanna see it?" I nodded my head and rushed to my room. I grabbed my crown that was next to my dress and went back downstairs. I brought it to my mom as she gasped holding back some tears.

"Ohhh, it's beautiful. Awww.....I am so happy for you." Tears of joy rolled down her cheeks as she looked at the crown. It was a Clarisse tiara that had sparkled rhinestones all over it. Sophie and Austin were laughing when they came in and saw what mom was holding.

"Aubrey, your home. When did you get here. What is mom holding in her hand. Why is mom crying. Why do you look so happy." they asked in unison. I sighed. Twins.

"I got home when you guys were in bed and mom is holding my Winter Prom Queen crown. That is why she is crying. I look happy because well.....it's a good day." Leaving the part about how I had an amazing night with Jake. They didn't need to know about that.

"Ooo, Aubrey your crown looks so pretty. When I grow up and I go to my Winter Prom, I want to be a Winter Prom Queen." Sophie said excitement rushing through her voice.

"Well, you'll make an absolutely beautiful Winter Prom Queen. In fact, I think your already are one." Sophie had a toothy smile and a pink mark was appearing. I smiled back and went to put my crown in my room. Afterwards, I went back into the kitchen and had my usual breakfast, a granola bar. I finished and grabbed my phone and walked out to take my morning walk. Before I headed out I said a quick bye and told them I would be back. Knowing that I always do this, unless I am busy, they said have fun.

I walked to the cafe that was few blocks down from my street. As I continued to walk, I felt the breeze brush against my face, making chills roll down my spine and hair sticking from my skin. I kinda liked it when it got like this because I felt like the world was at peace and nothing bad would ever happen. And sometimes, when this happens, I know it's a sign from my mom and dad saying that they are still here. I know it sounds crazy and if I didn't believe in it I wouldn't agree but I just miss them so much. So, I always take the walks so I would get that feeling again. Suddenly, my eyes began to water and I tried to push them back but I failed. I wiped away a loose tear that was escaping my eyes.
