Mum doesnt know about Jai, she doesnt know we broke up, she doesnt know about anything. I feel bad for her as it is, with my dad passing away just a couple of weeks ago from Cancer, she has been an emotion reck. So i prefer to keep my secrets to myself, I dont want to put anymore stress on her as it is.
"Hi honey!" Mum says greeting me with a smile. Her eyes were all puffy and red, she had been crying. I never met my dad, my parents divorced when i was too young to remember, so i dont have any memories that i can dwell on, but i am still upset that i will never have the chance to meet my own father. She misses him an awful lot, I can tell.
All of a sudden i hear a text message notification from my phone. I race over to the dining table and swipe the lock screen to reveal the message. I hold the phone between my hands and sigh, letting a single tear fall down my cheek. Another hate message from the popular girl at school. The message read:
*Hey babe, got the best boyfriend here by my side. Shame you missed out you fat cow! hahah!*
I guess im used to it now. When i used to date Jai she was so jealous of me. But now that Jai is dating her she keeps sending me hate and trying to brag. Every message reminds me how much I miss being able to call Jai mine. I sigh and slide my phone into my jumper pocket.
I can see mum staring at me in the corner of my eye, she seems worried. I fake a smile for her, but still she gives me a concerned look. I give a small fake laugh, but it slowly fades into a frown and then i start crying. Mum rushes over and wraps her arms around me, gently kissing me on the head. I cant tell her whats wrong. I wipe away my tears in an instant and rush upstairs to start getting ready for school.
