I spent at least 2 hours in my room before mum came up to check on me. I wish she didn’t, I’m still so mad at her for everything she had said. Maybe she has realised that’s she wrong! I hope so!
“Mia?” Mum speaks softly as she pushes open my door.
I was cuddled up in my blankets with a few tissues around me from wiping the tears away.
“I don’t want to talk about it mum.” I whispered while turning to face the other wall.
But I guess mum didn’t get the hint. She walked over to my bed and I felt her sit on the side near my lower back.
“Mia, look. I-I’m sorry okay?” Mum surprises me.
Well at least she said it because I was definitely not going to. I didn’t reply, I didn’t really have much to say to be honest.
“I shouldn’t have yelled at you like that. I was wrong. But I just want to make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into. Harry’s not a good kid Mia and...-“I cut her off before she could say anymore.
“You don’t know anything about him mum! So how dare you judge him so quickly.” I jolt up quickly defending Harry.
No one had the right to judge anyone, without knowing anything about them. She just thinks these things because of what he looks like.
“Mia, I don’t want to fight again.” Mum sighs.
“Then don’t judge someone before you know anything about them.” I snap.
“Okay Mia! Sorry! Anyway, I’m sorry I snapped at you earlier it was just a lot to take in. I didn’t really know how to feel about you dating my boyfriend’s son but I guess it doesn’t affect me in anyway.” She sighs.
I don’t reply and silence fills the room as I stare at mum searching for her expression.
“Do you really love him?” Mum suddenly asks.
“What?”
“Do you love him? You said downstairs that you love him. Is that true?” Mum asks again.
“Yes! Yes it is mum. I love Harry. I have never felt this way before about any boy. I know I’m only 17, but I do, I do love him. He makes me feel safe, protected, better about myself.” I smile at the thought. “I’m sorry too mum, that I kept it from you as well. I just didn’t know how you would react. I was scared that you would flip out on me like you did. I can’t tell you how much I just wanted tell you everything!” I sigh.
“It’s okay Mia.” Mum smiles pulling me in for a hug. “I love you darling.”
“I love you to mum” I smile returning the hug.
Thank god we worked that out. I thought we were going to have to go through the whole week not talking. Luckily mum doesn’t like to go to bed mad at people or we probably wouldn’t have sorted this out.
“Well, since you and Harry are dating I would like to have an official dinner to meet him. Even though I have, I need to now meet him as your boyfriend. Not as my boyfriend’s son.” Mum laughs standing up from my bed.
“If we have to.” I chuckle.
“Yes we do.” Mum laughs leaving my room.
“Goodnight sweetie” She says while closing the door.
“Night mum.” I reply tucking myself back into my blankets.
I should probably text Harry telling him everything’s okay but I’m way too tired to move. I will just tell him tomorrow at school. I’m so glad mum and I worked that out. I can’t stand fighting with mum even though she was completely wrong this time. Those 2 hours of tension was just killing me. I couldn’t imagine her being mad at me for more than a night. I turned out my lights and practically passed out from how tired I was within minutes. Crying really takes all your energy out of you.

Mum woke me up at the usual time for school. But I just couldn’t get out of bed. I felt like shit. I had a bit of a runny nose, but I was more feeling just down then physically sick. I was more mentally exhausted. It was only what? The second day of the week and I felt like shit already. I definitely can’t get myself up this morning. Why did I feel like such crap? My eyes were pretty puffy from crying last night and I was just feeling completely drained. Physically and mentally.
I called mum back up to my bedroom to tell her I don’t think I could make it to school today. She completely understood which was weird. I must’ve looked a lot worse than I thought. Mum usually never lets me take days off school. But I seriously needed this one. I was so sick of school and just a lot of things lately. I wasn’t feeling too good about myself today so it was better that I stayed home. I was lucky though because summer holidays started in less than 3 weeks!
Mum said goodbye before she left and I decided I would sleep for a little while longer, since I didn’t go to bed till quite late last night. I was waken about an hour later by my phone. I quickly checked it to see I had received a message from Sophie and Harry.
From Sophie:
Hey Girl, are you coming to school today? Xxx
From HARRY STYLES:
Where are you? Why aren’t you at school?
I loved how different they both were. Sophie was so nice and calm and Harry was completely freaking out it seemed. I replied to Sophie first just to annoy Harry.
To Sophie:
Hey, Sorry I’m not coming in don’t feel too well xo
Then I replied to Harry’s.
To HARRY STYLES:
I’m not feeling the best. So I’m staying home xo
I went to place my phone back on charge but it buzzed straight away.
From HARRY STYLES:
Will be there in 10 xo
I’m not too sure if I wanted Harry to come over. I was feeling like complete shit and I didn’t want him to see that.
To HARRY STYLES:
No, stay in school! I will be fine xo
From HARRY STYLES:
Too late, on my way xo
God he was so stubborn and controlling. I guess I couldn’t stop him from coming over though. I decided on just changing into some grey track suit pants and a baggy black shirt. I tucked my hair up into a bun. There was no way I was putting on makeup. This was my day off and I already felt like shit so Harry will just have to see me all natural. I dabbed over my eyes with my fingertips as I looked in the mirror. They were pretty damn puffy from crying. This always happens. Even if I don’t cry that much. I splash some water over my face, god I looked crap today.
I just needed the day off to get myself back together. Some students call them mental health days as a joke, because schools so stressful. I agree with them and I really did need my mental health day.
I headed down stairs and made myself a quick bowl of coco pops. I finally got to actually eat some breakfast. I laid myself over the couch and switched on my favourite show. Zeus laid next to me on the ground as I waited for Harry to arrive. A large thump on my door interrupted my show as I made my way to the front of the house. I opened the door to see Harry leaning on the door frame smirking. His smirk faded and turned into more worry when he saw my appearance.
