Young Love

| CHAPTER TEN | Miss you

ANGELIQUE'S POV

I wake up the next morning feeling sick in the stomach, totally forgetting I fell asleep on the phone to Kian.

Picking up my phone and noticing we were still in the call, it's 9:00AM. Why isn't he at school?
I cough a little signaling to him that I'm awake if he can hear me.

Angelique?

Hey Kian

I reply to him sleepily as a groan getting up out of bed to open my curtains.

How are you feeling? Did you have a good sleep?

Drained and I guess, how about you?

Good and good, sorry if it's weird that I stayed on the call.

No it's not weird, why aren't you at school?

I was thinking that we could maybe have a day today, get some lunch and just chill at the park, you could maybe invite your mother as well.

I don't know if my mum would be up for it

I yawn loudly as I go over and reach for my clothes and towel.

But I am, I need to keep my mind off of things.

Well ill be there at 12:30 to pick you up.

Thank you

I smile a little as I hang up the phone call.

I walk into my bathroom turning on the shower waiting for it to warm up as I get dressed and place my clothes in my basket. I get in and wash up.

Getting out drying my body and hair 30 minutes later. I wrap my towel around me and walk out to the kitchen to see if my mums awake.

I look in the kitchen and the lounge room but she isn't anywhere to be seen.

"Mum!! Are you home?" I call out loud.

I hear sobbing in her bedroom, quietly walking over to her door and knocking on it.

"I'm coming in"

I walk over to my mums bed and she's just laying there in the dark staring at her ceiling. It tears me apart seeing her like this and I couldn't bare losing her, my mother either.

I lean down next to her wrapping my arms around her chest and kiss her cheek. She lays her face on my shoulder and cries her heart out which makes me cry as well.

"I know mum, I miss her too" Tears fall down my face. "It's going to be okay".

"I just wish I could have said goodbye". She breaks down a little more.

"I love you mum, please believe me that everything will be okay." I hug her tighter.

"I love you too sweetie".

I lay there for a while as she cries into my shoulder, I don't let go of the hug. I know she needs this and I need this too.
