SHORT STORY.....

Louis

I slowly picked up my phone. The caller ID read mum. I quickly answered the phone. Without hesitation.

"Hello?"

"Hi boobear. How are you my son?"

"Mum..." I sobbed into the phone.

"Shhh everything's okay. I'm okay."

"Mommy I miss you." Tears slipped down my face.

"Baby don't cry my darling. I'm happy in a better place. I'm fine. I'm okay."

"I miss you." I let out my cries.

"I miss you too."

"We all miss you. Lottie. Fizz. Daisy. Phoebe. Dorris. Ernest. Dan. We all miss you." I cried.

"I know baby. I see you everyday. I see all of you. Please don't cry for me. Don't you want me happy?"

"Yes mum I do." I said sincerely.

"Then don't be sad. Tell your siblings and my grandson. And Dan that I love you guys so much."

"We love you too." I hold in my cries. I didn't want her to be upset because I'm crying.

"Alright baby. I got to go. An angel has a job too you know."

We both chuckled sadly into the phone.

"I love you mommy."

"Love you more."

"We'll see again. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Take care boobear."

"You too mommy."

And the phone went dead. The time ran out.

I woke up from my dream. Tears running down my face.

"Don't cry my love." I heard a voice say.

"I love you mommy." I said once again into the quiet space in my room.
