Mimosa loved adventure.
She'd do anything to jump at a new opportunity, to go somewhere new, experience everything she could especially with her mum and best friend Zach.
But what happens when her mum passes away leaving her feeling completely l...
To leave everything behind for awhile that had ever happened in my life.
I knew once I got on the plane I would come back for a whole month.
I had to leave for a bit even if it meant leaving Zach as much as that hurt me.
"I'm so sorry mum" I whispered to the sky. Sometimes I felt as though I could feel her as if she was still here with me.
"But she's not, she's gone and she's not coming back," said the voices in my head.
Wiping the tears that slipped from my unwilling eyes.
I had to think fast as I heard the weight of Zach's shoes coming closer "Mimi wait!"
I tried to walk away but his hand shot out and grabbed my arm pulling me back "Don't go" Zach said looking at me with the saddest brown eyes I have ever seen like I could see every single emotion he ever held.
"Zach let go of me"
"No Mimi not until you tell me who you're planning to stay with. I need names and numbers" I stared at him knowing if I told him he probably would follow me there. You see Zach was my best friend since basically birth we were joined at the hip. He knew every little thing about me to the last detail, he knew me sometimes more than I knew myself.
"I can't tell you yet Zach but this is my last chance to live a little before we have to start our final year at high school, you know how hard that's going to be for me, especially without..." I trail off I couldn't help but break into a sobbing mess once again I had turned into the person who couldn't control their emotions, luckily Zach was was there like always to keep my hurting heart sane.
"Hey, it's okay Mim," he said as he pulled me into one of those bone crushing hugs that I couldn't help but love. He's always been my rock, the comfort I needed in the worst of times. His chin resting on the top of my head, his arms around my shoulders and mine around his waist holding on for dear life. It was going to be hard to leave him but I had to grow up a bit, he had his own problems to deal with, without me being the selfish person who took up all his time.
Taking a step back and wiping my tears, to put on my brave face I tried to hide behind. "I'm just going away for a bit, not long, a month"
"Mimi that's the longest I will have ever have to go without seeing you, that's going to kill me" he said looking at me with the sad boyish face the one where he would poke his lip out and draw his eyebrows together and made crinkles on his forehead, the one he knew always won me over but it wasn't going to work this time. I knew what he was trying to do but I stood my ground.
"It will go faster than you know and that face isn't going to work this time" I smirked knowing all his tricks like I said he knew everything about me but I also knew everything about him too. I could basically read his mind, I knew what he was going to do before he even did it.
Which was why I was a little surprised to hear him offer me a ride to the airport. I think deep down he knew I needed this more than ever.
"Are you sure you can't tell me who you're staying with or where the hell it is?" he said as I shook my head.
"Don't worry it's going to be okay, my mum knew them. She was really close to them growing up or something" I say as Zach gives me an unsure look on his face.
"Look they're moving here in a month, they offered for me to stay with them till they move. I hear they have an amazing block of land. It's near where she and my mum grew up before mum came here."
"Okay, but promise me you will ring me all the damn time, just let me know your okay"
"I will don't worry," I said as Zach grabbed my bag from me and put it in the back seat of his truck before heading off to the airport not too far from my house.
To say I was nervous was an understatement, I'd never been on a plane alone before I'd always gone with my family. I tried to make the goodbyes quick, I was never great with goodbyes especially ones that would last for a month but Zach made it hard giving me a hug I think crashed 90 percent of my bones and lasted for what seemed forever.
"see you soon Zachie" I smiled sadly at the nickname I had given him when we were little, a stupid name I know but I was 3 years old and I guess it just kinda stuck.
"Bye Mimi, be safe, I love you"
"Love you too Zach," I said back as I turned around and headed towards the check-in only looking forward, to this new adventure I was going to make this worth while.
