Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 6

I woke up as I hear the rain crashing down outside. I remembered the events last night and look to my side and saw Cheryl, her head on the side of the bed. I stared at her as she sleeps.

Honestly, I'm lost right now. I don't know how to act around her, how to communicate with her when I'm still in the process of forgetting all the things that happened in the past. I also don't know where I'll stay after the operation if ever I'll survive.

Minutes later, Cheryl started stirring and finally opened her eyes. She sat up straight and look at me with a smile on her face. I just looked at her emotionless.

"Goodmorning" She smiled and I nodded at her and started to fiddle with my fingers.

"Do you want something to eat?" I just nodded at her watching her as she prepared some food for me. Is this really happening, I don't know what's real or not anymore.

"Here" She said as she placed tge tray infront of me. I just looked at it and started to eat.

"Maxene, I know this is hard for you but please if you want to ask me anything just ask okay, Talk to me" She said and I stared at her and nodded. I had about five mouthful of cereal then I gently pushed the tray away. Cheryl picked up the tray and put it on the table.

She was about to say something but then her friends walked in with a woman I've never seen before. She stared at me tears filled her eyes as she walks towards us.

"Is this her?" she whispered as sge walked closer.

"Yes mam" Cheryl said so I guess this is her mother. She immediately put her arms around me but I just stared at the wall. She pulled away and held my face looking at me with tears falling down her cheeks.

"What's you're name pet?" She asked but I just stared at her.

"Max" I said coldly as I held her wrist slowly and gently pulling her hands away from me and brought my knees to my chest looking away. The room went quiet.

"Mam, lets talk outside yea" I heard Cheryl whisper then I heard the door close.

"You okay hun?" A blonde woman said as she sat by the bed. "I'm Nadine by the way." She said softly.

"I want to go back to the orphanage" I whispered. I heard deep breaths and footsteps coming closer.

"Babe can you atleast give Cheryl a chance" The woman with pale skin told me.

"I'm trying, but I don't know how to... I don't know how to act around her, I don't know how to talk to her things like that. It's really hard for me to cope with the situation cause I don't know if what I'm doing is right cause I'm used to being alone. I do everything for myself...Cause its hard when you grew up in an orphanage with no friends, with no one talking to you, no one would play with you cause they think you're strange and weird." I broke down crying again. I thought I have no tears left, guess I'm wrong again. I felt a hand on my back as I burried my head in my arms. I felt a slight pain in my chest as I breath in so I lay back down clutching my chest.

"Max, is there a problem?" I shook my head as I placed my arm to my face covering my eyes.As I heard the door close, I bit my lip and wiped my tears turning away from them. After all the things Cheryl has done to me in the past, I still don't want her feeling all guilty. I don't like Cheryl seeing me cry cause it makes her remember all the things in the past and I want to change that. I want to put it behind us but I don't know how to start.

"What happened here?" I heard Cheryl said and I can sense the worry in her voice making my lip tremble as I try hard not to cry again. I heard footsteps getting close.

"Maxene, Are you okay?" I felt a hand on my back. I slowly sit up as I wipe my tears and faced her. She's been crying again.

"Babe, What's wrong?" Her face softened as she rest her hand on my shoulder. I stared at her for a while then I slowly held her arm taking it off my shoulder. I watched her as her face saddened but she looked at me when I didn't let go. I think I can start by doing something simple. I pulled her and put my arms around her as I hear her gasp. I closed my eyes and held her tighter as tears fall down my eyes. She held me tighter as I felt tears dropping by my back but then I felt a sharp pain in my chest and everything went black.
