The Life Of Mia Parker

Chapter 23

I've been sat on my bed for the last hour thinking about everything. Stephanie, Diana, Hayden, my mum, my sister. They're all I can think about. I lost the three most important people in my life within a week. It's like I'm cursed.

I've always blamed myself for what happened. Maybe I was wrong. I couldn't have stopped what happen. But I can't help feeling like it was my fault. I need to make peace with my past, I need to move on. I know they would want me to. I have to.

"Hey you okay ?" asked Luke before walking into my room.

"I'm okay. Just thinking."

"Mia."

"I know I know. Your right, I have to stop. I need to move on. I will, I promise."

"Okay, if you need anything, I'm here for you." He said with a smile.

"Thanks Luke."

"So any plans today before you go back to college."

"No. I think I'm going to go and see Hayden. Make sure he's okay."

"Ah that's lover boys brother right?" He asked with a smirk.

"Luke! Shut up!" I said whilst throwing a pillow at him.

"Okay okay! You want me to drop you off?"

"No that's fine, I want to walk."

"Okay, well come down and get some breakfast before you leave." He said.

"I'm coming."

It's little while later and I have now arrived at Hayden's house. I knocked on Maria opened the door with a cute little girl standing beside her, who I assumed was Izzy.

"Mia sweetie! Come in."

"Thanks Mrs Sanders." I said before stepping in. "Sorry to turn up unannounced."

"Nonsense! That's fine and sweetie just call me Cami, short for Camila. Would you like a drink?"

"Oh no I'm fine thank you." I said awkwardly standing in the living room with the adorable girl sitting on the sofa watching me.

"Oh Mia please sit down. This is my daughter Isabelle by the way."

"Hi Isabelle, I'm Mia." I said with a smile.

"Mia. Nate was right you are pretty." She said causing my cheeks to turn a subtle red. "You can call me Izzy."

"So sweetie who should I call for you." Cami said with a smile.

"I'm here to see Hayden, is he home?"

"Yeah, he's in the garden. Izzy go Call him."

"Oh no it's fine thank you, I'll just go see him." I said before heading to the garden.

"Hey." I said quietly as I walked towards Hayden who was kicking his football at the wall letting it come back to him to kick it back.

"Oh Mia hey. What you doing here?"

"I just wanted to come and check on you after the other night. You don't mind do you?"

"No no. I'm glad your here, how are you?"

"I'm okay, I'm really sorry Hayden. I didn't tell anybody, I don't know how she found out." I said sadly.

"Mia I know you didn't. Don't worry about it, I told my family."

"How did they take it?" I asked.

Hayden then went on to explain what happened. He told me what his dad said and how he reacted. I was shocked. I mean I know it came as a surprise but for him to act like that was horrible. Hayden's his son, I don't understand how he could treat him like that.
