Chapter 105

Kelsey

It's about nine in the evening when I get home. All the lights in the house are turned off when I put the keys in the lock and open the door. Deb must have already went to bed. Nothing new to me since that's where she spends most of time these days.

I decide to check on her as I always do and once I climb up the stairs and open the door to her bedroom, I find her snuggled in a blanket. She is asleep, as predicted, so I close the door carefully behind me and walk to my room. I'm still wearing Jack's clothes but I'm too lazy to get changed so I only hurry to my bathroom to brush my teeth. I'm tired and all worn out from today. That crying and fighting and running got to me and I can't wait to lay in my bed. Hopefully I won't dream about anything tonight, I just wish for a healthy seven-hour long sleep so I can go back to school tomorrow with new energy. I need to focus on school stuff since my last year is almost over and I graduate in a few weeks time. I haven't really thought what I do once I finish school. I haven't had the time and my dad passing away hit me pretty hard. But I know he wanted me to have good marks and do something with my life and I'm sure he didn't want me to run after a boy who isn't interested in me, that boy being Niall of course.

When I turn off the light and cover my body with the sheets, I start thinking about my dad and his funeral. I don't have much memory of it. I guess I was in trance that day.

I know that my mum was there and she tried to talk to me. I couldn't believe it at first. Why the hell she would show up, was the question. But that day wasn't about her and she didn't deserve to get any attention from me.

When she grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side, I only gave her an angry look and she immediately let go of me.

"Leave me the fuck alone." I used Niall's words and she looked down to the ground. I used that short moment to make my way back onto Deb's side because she was the person who deserved all the attention and not my mother.

I wake up the next morning even before my alarm goes off and when I stretch my arms over my head and slightly move my body, it looks like my prayers got heard. I do feel a lot better than yesterday and for the first time in weeks, I feel like I've got my energy back, at least a bit of it. It was the right decision to go to bed early and get a good amount of sleep plus I didn't dream of anything. That might have helped as well.

I throw the sheets away and jump out of my bed. I need a shower and maybe, just maybe I will take some time to make myself look acceptable, as in doing my hair and putting some make-up on. I bet Jack will freak once he spots me in school today. He will be shocked that I can change in less than 20 hours from a crying girl into a normal 18-year old teenager.

When I check my appearance in the mirror after taken one hour in the bathroom, I'm proud of myself. I actually can't wait to go to school and spend time with my only friend Jack and oh Emily, the other friend I have left. Good thing Em and Lisa don't talk to each other anymore. It happened in January and four weeks later, Lisa moved away. Made a my life a bit easier. She can screw herself. I hated how she constantly talked about Niall being so hot and how bad she wanted to snog his face off. Niall. My Niall. Not anymore but then on the other hand still being mine.

"Kelsey?" A knock on the door to my bedroom brings me back to reality. Deb is here, awake at seven. Didn't see that one coming.

"Give me a second." I call out and step out of the bathroom after turning the light off.

"Okay." I hear her saying. I quickly grab my bag and jacket and open the door.

Deb is standing in front of me. Fully dressed and ready to go to work. I didn't know she was planning on going to work anytime soon. She looks better, still not like she used to look. She lost quite some weight just like I did over the past few weeks.
