Knock Me Out

Chapter 84

Please vote. The song up here is the song that Chan's mom sang for her. You'll read about it in this chapter. I personally love this song and my children will grow up hearing it from me💕

I wanted to just go in like I always do, but then I decide against it.

Maybe I should do a countdown like Megan did for me?

No... I don't have the energy.
I'll just knock.

"Yes?" My mom's voice says after my light knock on the door.

"Mom?" I say with a soft voice.

"Yes honey. What's wrong?" She asks sitting up in bed.

"I can't sleep." I say suddenly feeling a little sad. I realize how childish I'm being right now, but I can't help it.

It's not my fault I was spoiled.

"Aww... little miss Righters can't sleep." John teases with a groggy voice.

It's so weird to see your math teacher in your mom's bed.

"Shut up." I say.

"Come lie with me baby." My mom says holding her arm out. I walk towards the bed and get in. I wanted to be annoying and get between the two, but I don't. "But you'll have to leave that bear on the couch."

I put the bear on the couch and climb into the bed, into my mom's arms.

"You're such a big baby." John teases again.

"Leave me alone. Mom!?" I pout dragging my words.

"John leave the girl alone." My mom laughs with a sleepy voice. "You okay?" She asks again.

"Yeah. Just got a lot on my mind. Can't sleep." I answer as she runs her fingers through my hair. I close my eyes and enjoy it. It's been a long time since she did this.

"I'm so proud of you." She whispers and kisses my forehead tenderly. "Look how big my little girl got."

"I love you mom." I say softly tightening my grip on her.

"I love you more baby."

"Remeber that song you used to sing for me?" I ask.

"Yeah... I got you." She says naming the song. "You remember that?"

I nod.

"That was such a long time ago."

"Sing it for me?" I ask tilting my head up to look at her.

She smiles, kisses my forehead again and takes a deep breath before she starts. 

This woman has the most amazing voice ever and I love it.
She used to sing this song for me every night before bed, but it all stopped when my dad died. After that she never sang it for me again.

Even though it's such a long time ago, it's one of those things that I remember pretty well.

Her voice clams me down as I drift into sleep.

The last things I hear before I fall asleep are her saying "Good night baby." as she kisses my forehead again and John saying "You have a great voice."

The sound of "Pillow talk" by Zayn wakes me up.

"Hmm." Is all I say when I pick up.

"You're gonna be late for school." Chris's voice says.

"What time is it?" I ask with a sleepy voice.

"Just get up. You already missed your first Economics class for the day."
