2- Mum

Kelllllll'sssss POV
Trigger warning- mentions of anorexia

I wake up to my alarm blasting 'How it's going to be' by Gerard Way, it's only 7:30am which is definitely way too early for me but this song is in my top ten because whenever I hear it I get the urge to do the most cheesy dance moves, it's such a bop and makes me jump out of bed immediately. So that what I do, I rip my bed sheets off and get up, I pull my clothes on while attempting to dance which would be an awkward scene to walk in on but I don't care. I'm wearing a black shirt with a few random stripes on it and ultra tight black skinny jeans that I found at hot topic, I put the rips in them myself, there's about 15 rips on each leg and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I also throw on a comfy hoodie as it is winter right now and quite cold.

I finish getting dressed just as the song ends and I carefully walk down the stairs from my bedroom wearily skipping the broken one to avoid tripping. This house is kind of old but ever since dad left my mum and I when I was younger we haven't been able to afford a lot of things let alone another house.

I get to the bottom of the stairs and turn the corner,
"Mum I'm up!" I call out. I don't hear a response which is a little weird but I continue toward the kitchen to get a little snack when someone jumps out at me and screams,
"AAAARGH oh my GOSH muummm you are SO annoying you know that right!" I state dramatically at my mum while she laughs and hugs me tightly around the waist as I try to pull away and groan in defeat.

Mum and I are best friends, ever since dad left we were alone with ourselves. (I'm not including kellins siblings in this story sorry 😐)
We became closer than ever out of all the stress of trying to support ourselves and as young as I was, I went into depression along with my mum. We didn't know what to do. Together we pushed through it and now my mum has a decent job which buys the food and nessesary things around the house.
I would never trade my mum for the world I love her so mum and she is so strong. I am very happy to be her son.

She continues laughing as we walk into the kitchen with her arm around my shoulders.
"C'mon pumpkin you have to eat and get ready for your first day of year 10! It starts at 9:00 hurry!
Calm down mum that's just over an hour I have plenty of time" I say picking at my cereal uninterestedly.

"Darling please eat, you're scaring me"
She came and sat next to me and put a hand on my back.

Lately I have felt myself slipping back into my eating disorder.
It was extremely bad about three years ago but when mum found out she, along with my best friend Jaime, were the only ones who helped me through it. I think I was on the verge of destroying myself and my energy levels were so low I had to stay in bed all day because I was too weak to move.
I've never quite gained all the weight back but mum and Jaime don't need to know that. I'll just end up hurting them more.

I sigh and shove a spoonful in my mouth. I gag a little but disguise it with a cough. Unfortunately mum saw through the disguise and hugs me tight,
"Please darling I just want you to be healthy I love you so so much Kells, Jaime does too, we want the best for you and we need you to cooperate" she stumbles on the last word and I look up to see a couple of tears balling up in her blue eyes, she looked full of hurt and I couldn't take it.
I feel my eyes start to water and then she breaks down.
"I love you so much kells. I love you. I love you." She repeats as she sobs into my shirt.
I hold her tight as I force myself to eat another spoonful of cereal. I keep eating until half the bowl is gone, by then I feel very very full and want to throw up but I keep it in for mum.

"I love you mum."I whisper.
"I love you too sweetie" she whispers back and hugs me once more.

(Shit guys I almost spilt coffee all over me yikes)

School starts in half an hour which means that I have to get ready in 10 minutes because it takes about 20 minutes to walk to school. I go to the bathroom, do my business then grab my toothbrush out of the pot.
"AAAAAA HOLY SHIT MUM HELP!"
Mum comes rushing in to the bathroom,
"What is it darling are you hurt?" She says worriedly.
"No there's a SPIDER ON MY TOOTHBRUSH" I scream.
"Oh fucking hell Kellin, I don't mean to stereotype, but you're a man. You should be able to deal with a spider the size of the nail on your littlest finger can't you?" She says jokingly and then grabs a tissue and picks the spider up.
She starts moving it toward my face and that's where I'm out.
" mum NO! No no nnO THAT ISNT GOING ANYWHERE NEAR ME"
I run out of the bathroom, around the corner, down the hallway, up the stairs and lock myself in my bedroom. I'm breathing heavily because I am clearly very scared of spiders, but my heart softens when I look out my window and see mum talking to the spider as she sets it on a leaf. It may be a spider, and I may be terrified of them but mum never disappoints with her kindness towards everyone and everything, it amazes me how big of a heart she has, I smile for a minute but then realise I have to start heading to school in 5 minutes. I throw some books in my backpack, pick up my phone and earphones, I turn on some music on shuffle mode, it lands on 'Ground Control' by All Time Low
(since I might add all time low members into this story as kellins friends I know that it doesn't make sense that they're listening to their music but I don't listen to any older kinds of bands so just go along with it because this is just a fanfic after all
Did that make sense?)

Damn. This song always makes me cry, it's so beautiful and the lyrics are very meaningful. I yell out a goodbye to my mum but she stops me,
"Wait kellin we need to take a picture of you before your first day! Remember like we do every year?" She says
"Ugh fine mum" I groan and she takes out her phone, I smile and she snaps a picture.
"Alright off you go now sweetie I love you always.
She blows me a kiss, and walks inside the house.

I continue to walk down the path of my house, open and close the gate behind me and go forwards to the school.

Hey next chapter will be vic again and then I promise they will actually go to the school and meet each other and it will be rly cute I promise :3
