Next day.
Pov Meryl.
I woke up and first thought was "Hey, today it's a big day". I'm absolutely agree with my mind. I stood up and went to bathroom. I looked in the mirror...Omg....I'm look like a monster...My hair became entangled and eyed are red. Great. I look like an addict...And this happened before important meeting.
I did my makeup and went to kitchen. It's only 9am and my mom is working yet...I'm similar with my dad so I'm lazy a bit.
"Good morning mommy. Today I'll go to London. I'm so excited!" I said and sat down on the chair. Mom smiles.
"I'm glad to hear that, honey. Alright.
I'm going to the supermarket. Do you want something special?" my mother asked.
"No, thank you, mommy. I'm going to have quick breakfast and..." I was interrupted by mom.
"Go to London." she said staying in the hall. I smirk.
"Certainly." I answered. Mother gave me an air kiss and went out of house. I turned on TV. It's very boring to eat alone without any sounds. On TV are some melodic songs.
I ate my yogurt quickly and drank some coffee. After look at the watch I understood that I have all chances to be late. And I hate being late! It's a peak of ignorance. I decided to put on myself my favourite skinny black jeans, white shirt and boots with heels. Also I took a small handbag.
I never will wear short skirts, tops and jackboots. In clubs there are many whores who are dressed like this. Also I don't like my body for show it.
Honestly, I don't like myself. I think I'm weird geek....
Ok, let's talk about my meeting. It's 11am and I'm ready to go. I took necessary sum, car's key and a cup of coffee. The weather is good now. The sun isn't shining at the moment but weather forecasters said it'll shine. It isn't windy. It's incredible day, I feel it.
I closed the door, went to my car and sat into it.
On the radio is playing "Can't stop the feeling" by Justin Timberlake. I fell in love with this day! What can be better?

When I went to cafe where we had to meet was only 12.30am. And I didn't late!
I sat down the table near the window and ordered one glass of water. I fell in love with atmosphere in this cafe. Big brown leather sofas, wooden panels the same color as tables, some pictures of Ireland, white lights on the walls and different figures on the tables. By the way here works nice barmen. He looks very strong.
I was thinking while the girl ran into cafe. She looks like mouse. She has pale face, big grey eyes, tiny nose and small mouth. Her lipstick is awful...She gave a quick look to the whole cafe and when our eyes met, she smiled. She walked toward my table. "Are you Meryl?" she asked with her childless voice.
"Yes, I'm. And you are Phoebe, I guess" I said. She smiled again.
"Yes. Can I sit?"
"Sure."
"Ok, thank you. I brought some photos more" Phoebe said. She is wearing beautiful blue blouse and white long skirt. I smiled. I looked them again and get in sure it's my love.  I can't wait to move in new apartment. I imagined yet how fabulous will look my paintings on the walls, light blue pillows will be lay perfect on the sofa. In the kitchen are big windows with view to the park. My favourite teapot will stay near the aromatic candles...Oh, I will move into it as soon as possible!
"Hey, is all alright?" asked Phoebe, touching my shoulder. I shake my head for throwing unnecessary thoughts.
"Yeah, it is. Huh, take this envelope. There are money." I said and gave white envelope to Phoebe. She took it.
"Well, now it's your apartment. Thank you for the deal!"answered Phoebe and gave me key. I smiled with the happiest smile ever.
"Thank you. And now, I'm sorry, but I have to go. I was able to meet with you. Bye!"I said and walk towards the door. Phoebe was smiling. I went out to the street. A lot of people are out on the street today. I like it. I understood that London was made for me. All this streets are known like I was growing up here.
I can't explain how different I feel myself in my town and in London. I'm like two different people. London makes me happy. How sad that my mom doesn't understand this. I decided to call to my mother.

|Telephone call|

-Hi, mommy. How are you? I missed a bit.
-Hi, honey! I missed you too. I don't know how I will live without my little daughter...But don't care. I hope you will visit me.

Her words hurt me....

-Mommy, of course i will! I'm going to call you every day as I can! Please don't be sad. It really hurts me...
-Meryl, you chose your way. Don't care about me. I'm old sick women.
-What?! Sick?! Are you kidding me?! Forget about this word! It isn't for you. You're young and beautiful mommy.
-Hah, don't lie. Dear, I know the truth. Ok, let's change the topic. When will you move to new apartment?
-I don't know, mommy. I'm going to collect my clothes tomorrow.
-Alright...I will help you. Meryl, I'm so sorry but I can't talk right now. Call me later.
-Ok mommy. Bye.

She handed up...Great...My mother is sad. And I feel myself awful! I hate make my mom sad but it's my dream...
I sat on the bench. The sun isn't shining yet...

I'm looking at the sky...Two birds are flying above my head. They are as a mother and a daughter. Mother has problems with her wing but she doesn't stop flying. Daughter is studying to fly. She waves her wing quickly. Mother-bird supports her daughter although the pain hurts she. Daughter-bird goes down and she can fall right now. But her mother helps she...but she fell. Daughter is in the air, looking to her mother...And mother is laying down on the street....This is mother's essence...They can help their child hurting themselves...

Lonely tear fell down my cheek leave wet trace.
I can't leave my mother alone...
"I can't!"I screamed. People turned around looking at me.
"Sorry" whispered I sat down on the bench. My phone vibrates. It's a new SMS.

"From: Mommy.
Dear, I'm so sorry for making you feel bad. I love you so much and I don't want to ruin your dream. In my childhood I had a dream too. I wanted to have a big house in the forest with the view to the lake. I grew up and my dream grew with me. I was working on two different works for have money. Than I found my husband and your father. He knew about my dream and he worked hard too. But we still didn't have money. One day we had a choice. Or we have a baby, or we have that house. Of course we chose a baby. And it was you, dear. So you became my dream. Now you are having your special dream that will make you happy. And if you'll be happy I will be happy too. Because you are my only dream."

That makes me cry...
I decided. I will do it. I can't live whole life with mother. I have to develop myself.

"To: Mommy.
Mommy...your SMS made my cry...I love you more than life. And thank you for all support you gave me. I will follow my dream."

I stood up and went to house. I have to start to collect my clothes....

It's me again🙌🏻
