I'm Scared

Poppy's P.O.V

"Poppy sweety, you haven't eaten anything the whole day" my mother's worried voice became apparent in my darkly lit room. I just closed my eyes again as I breathed out slowly, pretend like you care mom was what I thought. I heard her sigh and I thought she was going to leave me alone like what she and dad have been doing as I ignore them but I was a bit surprised as I felt my bed being dipped.

"Poppy, I know your father and I haven't been around but that doesn't mean that we don't love you. You're our baby girl, we love you so much" she explained and I knew that if I was in my right state of mind, I would have sat up and gave her a hug but right now, in this moment with such a heavy feeling in my chest I didn't know exactly what to do so I stayed quiet as I tried to hold in the overwhelming tears threatening to escape.

"I'--m sca--scared" I stuttered out quietly with a voice full of unbroken tears that is waiting to be released. "Oh my baby" I heard her coo before I was picked up and engulfed in my mothers arms. The feeling felt foreign to me, the last time she hugged me would be about five years ago.

I then couldn't keep it in anymore as I just picturing how Hartley looked when she left me in the girls restroom and I broke down. I cried in my mothers arms like a baby, just like when I was five and this girl had pushed me off the swing because she was jealous of my braids.

"Why are you scared honey bunch?"

She asked me and I sighed as I began to calm down, a few sniffles came through and I finally had the courage to speak out loud about it, "Ha--Hartley and I--I had a fight an--and I said some words that I regret saying so much mom b--but I feel like that it might be too late to f--"

"Who are you?" she interrupted me by saying and I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at her. "What do you mean?" I asked my mother and she sighed before she lifted her hand to wipe away my tears before she spoke in a tender voice, "Who are you baby girl?" she asked me and this time I understood what she was saying, she always did this to lift my spirits up so I took in a deep breath before I spoke,

"I'm Poppy Raven Holmes" "and?" she asked me and this time I sat up straight with a power that I didn't know that was in me, "and I don't give up on things that I know are worthy to fight for" I finished and that's when my mother smiled as she pulled me into another hug.

"Go get her baby girl" she whispers before she planted a kiss on my forehead and then took her leave leaving me wondering the many possibilities of getting my baby to forgive me. But one thing stood out, and that was telling her the truth.

Hartley's P.O.V

"You look good ma" I whispered quietly as I leaned against the kitchen door frame as I watched her pick up her purse. She smiled at me but it was a sad smile and I gulped down the feelings as I knew what was coming next.

"Hartley" she whispered tenderly and I started shaking my head, "I can't ma. It hurts too damn much" I told her truthfully and I watched her eyes become glossy causing me to curse internally at what I said.

Turns out that Brad and Lydia Holmes made arrangements with mom to take her out for dinner two weeks ago and from then Ma had asked me if I wanted to join her, I told her yes because I would see Poppy but now I told her I couldn't go. I couldn't watch those grey eyes look at me without any emotion. I wouldn't be able to bare it.

I watched Ma nod in understanding before she outstretched her arms and I smiled at her before I walked over to her, my boots scuffing against the wooden flooring. Ma and I shared a hug before we heard a car honk outside and I smiled at my ma, despite everything going down hill for me, there was great news.
