I walked slowly towards my house, I didn't know what to say to mum, it's gonna be difficult. I think I should just tell her that I missed her, it's the truth anyways. I knocked on the door and no one opened, what if she's not inside? I opened the door with the spare key under the mat infront of the front door. It's a silly place to hide it but everytime we hide that key anywhere else we forget it's place, we just got used to it here. I entered slowly as if I was going to rob the house. I closed the door behind me. I looked for my suitcases behind the door but I found nothing. Where did they go? Mum wasn't here yesterday and that means that she had a night shift and spent all the past hours in the hospital. Who could possibly take them? I went upstairs to my room, may I have put them in my room. I found them empty and my clothes folded perfectly in my cupboard and everything was just perfectly organised. What the hell happened here? Did they just organise themselves? "Sophia?" I heard a voice from behind me. I turned to see mum standing leaning with a hand on the door frame, she seemed tired as hell. "Mum." I said and went to hug her unconsciously. She seemed surprised as I haven't done that in ages. "I miss you." I said honestly, squeezing her like as I missed feeling that I am insecure, I want to feel her tenderness again though she didn't show it to me all the time, maybe that's why I miss that feeling so much. However, I was with Harry's me he made me need nothing more than being with him, I still need her love. If someone asks me why? I would just say, for no reason. No, there is a reason, she is my mother and it's a good reason. "What's wrong Sophia?" mum asked concerned. "Nothing, I just miss you." "Oh baby, you don't know how much I miss you too." I squeezed her even more. "Easy, easy, you're gonna break my bones." She said sarcastically. I miss her sense of humour. "Sorry." I said backing away from her. "Why are you crying?" She asked frowning. I didn't realise I was crying except when she wiped away my tears with her thumb gently which made me realise that I missed her more than I ever expected. "I just miss you." I said. "I miss you too." ---------------- We went downstairs and sat on the counter. Mum made us two bowls of K cereals though she isn't a great fan of it. "Is there something wrong between you and Harry?" She asked after a long silence. "No, why?" I lied, there is something wrong between us. "You just came without any warning, yesterday, I was in the market buying some stuff and when I came back I found your luggage and now I woke up on the sound of someone walking to see you here, it all came suddenly without any initials." "No we're fine."I lied, I tried not to look at her so that she doesn't know that I am lying. "There is something." She said. "No, he didn't want me to come and live here again." "Why?" "He want me to be with him." "Oh!!" She said nodding. I looked at my mobile to find that it was 7:50. "Oh My God." "What!" "I am too late." "Okay, you can go now." "Aren't you going to work?" "No I have taken this week off." "Okay." I took my bag, mobile and keys then I hugged her. "Bye mum." I said. "See you after school." That was the last thing I heard and I closed the door behind me. On my way to school, I was thinking about how it would be today, there is something in our lives, mine and Harry's have changed, we don't live together anymore. I am pretty sure that it won't be the same as before. I arrived at school just on time. As soon as I entered the class, I looked for Harry. He wasn't there. Is it possible that he hasn't come today? Maybe he was so pissed off that he didn't want to see me. Maybe.. The first lesson started and there was no sign for Harry. He isn't coming.. I know it. I was sleepy as hell by the end of the first class. I woke really early for no obvious reason. I put my head on the desk to rest till the next class. "Hey everyone," Mr. Jack said. I sat properly and when I looked next to me, Harry was sitting next to me. "Where did you come?" I asked him whispering. "Right now." He whispered back not even looking at me. It would be a tough task making him forgive me. But I can do it and I will. I was really eager for the lunchtime to come, I wanted to talk to Harry. He didn't even look at me or had just a glance. He used to do that every time we are in the class. He is pissed off. I wasn't concentrated ,even a little bit, on what the teachers were saying. All I was thinking about was how I will make Harry forgive me. As soon as the bell rang announcing lunchtime, Harry stood up quickly and walked out of the class without even looking at me. I went after him and he was trying to run away, he talked to this and that and all that time I was walking behind him trying to talk to him. "Harry." I kept on calling his name but he acted as if I wasn't there. Till he reached the cafeteria and he was ordering his lunch and then, I exploded. "Harry, just look at me." I said loudly that the whole cafeteria was looking at me. I was embarrassed and I blushed. I walked quickly out of the cafeteria. I heard him calling my name but I didn't answer him, I was too upset and angry to even look at him now. I walked quickly to the library, sat in my usual corner and started crying. I don't know why he is doing that? What have I done? All I have done was living with mum again. I don't know why he is that mad. I am fed up with his selfishness. He gotta think about my mother, about me. Not just himself. I was thinking about what I should do, what to tell him if he came to ask me to forgive him. What will I do? I won't forgive him. He made me feel embarrassed i front of the whole school. "Dove." A voice said cutting off my thoughts and I know exactly whose it is. "Yes, Harry." I said Harshly. "I am sorry." He said whispering but I don't know because we are in the library or because he is ashamed of what he had done. "No, not each and every time Harry. i am fed up with it. Every time you get upset about such a little thing that doesn't even matter that much and you beg me till I forgive you. I think you like it, but I don't and I won't do it again." "You don't even know why I am doing this." "No, I know, because you are selfish, you w at everything to be just yours and no one else has the right to even touch it and I can't stand it." "I am sorry Sophia but I can't go home without making sure that you are there for me every time I want you, that you will always be with me, share me on every single activity, cook for me, try new horrible food, all with you." He said. I giggled when he said horrible food, this is one of the most rational reasons that he should leave me and agree that I don't live with him any longer. But either of us is rational. "I made you laugh." He said cheering up. "Shshsh." The librarian said. "Sorry." Harry and I mouthed to her at the same time and raised a hand apologizing. I smiled because I think J copied him on some of his actions and gestures. He became a part of my personality. And I won't change that. "Does the mean that you forgive me?" He said whispering. I took a deep breath acting as if I was thinking but I had already taken my decision. "Fine." I said. "Yaaah!" He shouted. I looked at him with wide eyes. "Shhhshshshhsh." The librarian and I said at the same time. Harry realized what he was doing and then we laughed as quietly as possible. The bell rang and we went back to our biology class together. He sat beside me and he didn't stop glancing at me from time to time. He tried to hide it every time I looked at him. But most of the time I knew he was looking at me and I acted as if I didn't know it. I loved it somehow. He looked at me like no has ever done before. ----------- On our way home, he held my hand so tightly. We agreed the I will live with mum no matter what, we can go out on dates every night if he wanted to but I will still live with her. He found that this was a good solution for both, him and mum. I think it is better that way because we can start from the begginning as any normal couple. We can go on normal dates and have a great time with each other then he can ask me to go and live with him and have our own home not living in his family house. It's better that way. I told Harry that he is invited to have dinner with us. He agreed. Mum is gonna cook today. I am sure he is fed up with my horrible food. Moreover, I gotta go buy the prom dress. "Muuuuuuuuum!!!!" I called. "In the kitchen." She called back. I went to the kitchen. "Mum, I wanna tell you something." "Yeah!!" "I invited Harry to have dinner with us today." "Great! I didn't cook yet, that's good so I can go to the grocery and buy somethings necessary for the dinner." "When will you go?" "In about an hour, why?" "Cam you drive me to the mall?" "Why? I gotta but a dress." "What for?" "Harry invited me to go to his sister's prom." "Prom?" "Yeah, she had two extra tickets and she doesn't have a prom date anyway." "How? Who was that Chris I think that we saw there in Minnesota?" "He can't go with her because he will be abroad to see his family." "Don't they live here?" "No, he is from Canada and he came here to complete his studies and work." "Oh yeah." He said like it was too much information. "It's a little bit complicated." I said. "Actually a little more than a little bit." I giggled. "Oh! I see." She said. I put some cereals in a bowl and started eating. "Anyways, I give you the permission to go with him." "Oh thank you so much." "When is it?" "Next Thursday." "Yeah, you have 3 days to go." "Yeah." I went to my room to get ready to go to the mall and took some savings with me in case I had to buy an expensive dress. My mum dropped me to the mall. I tried like each and every single dress I have seen but liked nothing. I felt like I won't find any dress to wear. I went to the food court to eat something and have a rest after that long tour in the mall ending up with nothing to wear in the prom. I bought a Big Mac combo and savoured each bite. I haven't eaten it in ages. i really miss its taste. "Sophia?" A guy's voice said from behind, I turned to see who he is. "Chris!!"
