In The End

Chapter 8

As soon as I stepped a foot into my room I'm thrown into a bone-crushing hug. I gasp. Mum is crying so hard my T-shirt gets soggy. 'Oh Carmela. I'm so sorry. I've felt so bad ever since you've left. I never ever hit you or Cassia. I must be the worst parent ever!. You were right. About everything. Every single word you said to me was true. I don't pay that much attention to you. I know. I was just angry that you pointed it out. I know you're different and that's okay. Oh sweetie please please please please forgive me' She cries. I pat her back. 'Mum it's okay. I forgive you. I'm sorry too' I say and she clings harder. 'Oh sweetie thank you' She says and pulls away, dabbing at her eyes with a hanky. I smile at her. 'Lets go get some lunch' She says and goes to find Dad. I don't even have time to think when they both return smiling. I smile back and we all get up and go down to a chip shop near the beach. Dad gets fish and chips, I get chips, potato scallops and a chicken burger and Mum has french fries (she insists on calling them that) and a coffee. I gaze out the window, wondering if Alessandro is working. He actually walks by the window and my stomach drops. He's not alone. He's with a girl. She's very pretty. Slim, curvy with bright glossy black hair to her waist and yellow eyes. She's wearing a lilac jumper and faded jeans. Alessandro leans in and kisses her cheek. I have to look away, tears dribbling down my cheeks and splattering the food on my plate. Mums looks at me, concerned. 'I have to go' I say, crying quietly. Mum gets up. 'It's Ok, I'll see you both back at the hotel' I say and leave, running up to the hotel, falling on the bed and crying bitterly. I thought he liked me. Ha!. My bad. Every good guy in the planet is always taken. Or they turn out to be the biggest jerks that ever walked the Earth. I curl my head up onto the pillow, sobbing. There is a knock on the door and Mum's face appears. She sits by me. I tell her why I left and she puts her arms around me, pulling me into a hug. 'Oh Mum' I wail. 'Shhh baby. I know it hurts. It's okay Shhh. That Alessandro is crazy to give up you. Don't worry I'll help you forget about it' She says rocking me and stroking my hair. My tears eventually dry and I smile weakly at her. 'Thanks' I say, blowing my nose. 'Now get some rest. You and I are going shopping tomorrow' She says and I curl up under the covers, collapsing in the warmth and trying to forget what happened over the last 24 hours.
