BIG things in a SMALL world #wattys2017

•34

Two weeks have past and have been doing what Michael suggested, I've been to the zoo, walked thru Central Park and Phill even took me to the museum.

I'm currently wrapped up in a blanket sipping on my hot chocolate dreading what I am to do next, William stopped his attempts to call me shortly after I had Told Michael what happened that day I got hit by that car, he and Phill were fuming, stormed into his office and did god knows what

Maybe I should visit another state? No Michael would forbid it. Shopping with the girls always tires me out.

No matter how hard I try to busy my mind with other things, every other little thing takes me back to Will. I miss him so much

Ring Ring

"Hello"

"Kia Ora my dear!"

"Mama, how are you?"

"Good, good my dear, listen I am coming over there. Michael is picking me up soon"

"Not to be rude Mama but why are you coming here, I remember you do not like this country much"

"I am coming because now I am retired and Michael insists, also I am coming for you!"

"Mama I am perfectly fine"

"Oh hush child I am coming and that's that! See you soon dear"

"Yes Mama"

A knock on the door sounds an hour later, as I run to it Michael opens the door with Mama walking behind him

"Mama!" I rush into her arms

"Yes alright" she pats my back

"Michael you may leave now I'm sure your busy, I will stay with our Anna"

"Okay Ma, I'll see you's for dinner" he says and kisses us both before exiting

I help Mama get settled and start to prepare dinner for the 4 of us, the 4th person being Phil, him and Michael usually do everything together.

While cooking dinner I tell Mama about all the exciting things I've been doing since my return and she frowns

"What's the matter Mama?"

"Nothing my dear, think I will go and rest"

Without another word she heads upstairs and goes into her room.

Not long after the guys help me wash up and as soon as Michael is out of ear range Phil turns to me

"Have you heard from Will sweetheart?" He asks softly

"No, he stopped calling after awhile, why?"

"I think you need to talk to him, he hardly talks to anyone, locks himself in his office, I have never seen him like this"

I don't know what to say, I lock my eyes to the ground as a sad lock stretches across my face

"Don't be sad sugar" Michael chimes behind me.

I go to bed with a heavy heart, I do miss William but what he said hurt so much, but I don't like hearing how he has treated himself, I know I was in the wrong and part of me knows it was my fault, maybe I should call him to apologise. I turn to my bedside table and pick up my phone to dial Will
