"Come on mother keep up" i said while imitating the Justin Beiber inspired avitar on my wii. I was playing the latest Just Dance game with my mother on a saturday night. We were having a blast. " Bunny, I can still kick your ass" she spat as she was dancing her heart out. This lady despite her age she could move. 

My mother had become my bestfriend in the couple of past months. After the divorce with my father i sided with her because I knew she needed me. 

This whole situation only added stress to my life, I was already stressed with College Applications, Scholarship Applications, and Finanical Aid that last thing i needed was my parents divorce but i still got that. I survived through all that and so did my mom, i knew i couldn't leave her but i knew i always want to study abroad and leave my precious Los Angeles and i did that except i brought my mom along. She wouldn't do so well on her own, she needed the reassurance of her family, that consisted of my father, brother and I but that no longer exsisted. My dad fell out of love with my mom and my brother started a life of his own, he didn't have time to worry about my mom with his new born being born he had to settle in. He promised me after they got the hang of it he would take in my mother. So we moved to London where i was would be starting my first year at  Manchester University. We came before school actually started so we can get settled. 

I turned off the WII Console after an embarrissing defeat on my part agaisnt my mother i walked to my room upstairs.  I kept twisting and turning trying to fall asleep but i couldn't i look at the clock that read 2:45 am. I lay there staring at the celieing as my eyes begin to slowly start closing when the phone rings. I immediately open my eyes and groan because of my mom's ringtone i love the woman to death but One Direction come on mother!!

"Mother.... Mom..... MAMA!!!!" i yell because her damn phone was still going off.

I got up before those damn lyrics get stuck in my head. I didn't have a problem with one direction it just wasn't my cup of tea. I'm an Pink Floyd, The Ramones, and The Eagles type of gal. 

I make my way down stairs to anwser the phone.

"Hello" I say groggily 

"Sister???" i hear my brother yell from the other line.

"Brother, i missed you sooooooo much!! How's my little nephew?" i say rather loud enough to wake up my sleeping mother. 

"Sister he's great he looks just like dad. Sister I called to tell my mother to come home we are settled and i want my baby to be close to his G-Momma" my brother said happily. 

I smiled as i heard my little nephew in the background, "Brother that's great and everything but I'm going to be lonely without my mom" i say with a frown.

"Sister snap out of it you're going to start college soon, stop acting like a kid and act like a normal college student." I could practically hear him smirk. "Plus didn't you know Pops is in London" he saids nochalantly. 

"He is ????" I yell into the phone.  My brother fesses up my dad's true intention he's been snooping on me and my mother he wanted to make sure we were okay. Aww leave it to my dad to be a douche bag but have a good cause how i loved my old man despite everything. 

"Sister tell my mom i have her ticket back home ready she leaves this weekend, sister i love you and take care visit soon" and with that note he ended the conversation. 

I had mixed emotions about my mother leaving. I knew that her staying would be temporary but she was what made this place feel like home but i knew my brother needed her.


So she left back home where she belonged. I was glad when she boareded that plane because i knew part of her missed our old house. She was never comfortable here she just grin and bear it but today was the first time i actually saw an authentic smile. She be home soon before she knew it. 

I left the airport and was on my way home.
