"No not again okay? I can't keep having him over Micah!" my mother shouts at me.

All morning since Calum left we've been arguing about how I can't just bring Calum home because he's drunk.

"But you were okay with it before!" I reply getting angrier by the minute.

"That was before-" She starts to say but stops.

"Before what mum?"

"I'm thinking of moving in with Mark" My mum says looking nervously at me and I just stare at her.

"What?" I say shocked

"What about me mum?!" I shout at her.

"Don't talk to me like that!" My mum retaliates.

"I'm going out." I say grabbing my phone and putting on my dms.

"No your not I ne-" but I cut her off by slamming the front door.

I swing my legs back and forth as I sit on the wall my legs dangling over the sea beneath me.

It's quiet here, no angry mum's and no broken drunk bestfriends.

Not that I don't love Calum as my bestfriend because I do, he's just alot to handle at the moment and sometimes I need time alone.

What hurts me most is that I feel like mum's forgotten dad. I was 8 when he died, I remember him being ill with liver problems for ages he went a yellow colour and spent most of his time in hospital until when he died.

I remember before he got ill he'd come in from work and I'd run towards him and he'd wrap his arms around me and spin me around as I giggled, then he'd put me on his side and my mum would come out and they'd share a kiss as I put my hands over my eyes saying "ewwy screwy" then they'd both laugh. but nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same.

I wipe away the few tears that have fallen and as I go to stand up someone sits next me.

Calum. He doesn't need to ask why I'm sad he just wraps his arms around me bringing me back so against his chest as he feet lay just over the edge of the sea wall.

He nuzzles he head into my neck as I hum slightly in approval "You're the bestest friend ever" Calum says to me and laugh at his use of words.

"Bestest is not a word Calum" I say laughing slightly still.

"You just ruined a cute moment" Calum says pouting at me his face reads fine bit his eyes read sadness.

He's broken still and hurt. and who knows if he'll ever be fixed.

"I'm sorry for how I am right now" Calum says to me.

"You don't need to be sorry Calum, you have every right to feel like this." I reply and it's true he does have a right to feel this way, it'd be weird if his girlfriend dying didn't effect him.

"You want to get ice cream?" I ask trying to cheer him up.

"No not today, ice cream is for happy days." Calum replies sadly.

"When will you be happy?" I ask snuggling my head into his chest as I inhale his scent.

"One day Micah, One day." but that day seems far from this one.
