Melanie

'Dear Melanie,

You are not stupid for believing in love - you're hopeful. Always believe in love and always be open to love. I love you and someone very special will too someday. Don't ever stop wishing for love.

Love,
Mamma x'

I smiled as I put the journal on my bedside table. Mam must have come in last night and put it there. I went to my ensuite after grabbing my phone and turned on the shower. I quickly got in and out, not wanting to be late to school.

I decided to be lazy today and wear some black jeans and an orange Ader sweatshirt. I slipped on my black, hightop vans and put my hair up in a ponytail. I didn't bother with makeup, seeing that my skin has been doing okay these past few days.

I don't always try too hard with clothes, only when I really feel like it. Clothes and fashion have never really been my thing. Mam loves clothes and shopping and never seems to wear the same outfit twice - only her pyjamas.

"Melanie!" Mam called up the steps as I was putting on some chapstick. I grabbed my rugsak from my desk and flew out into the hallway. I rushed down the steps and went to the breakfast bar, seeing the breakfast Mam made me.

"Good Morning, baby." Mam walked over to my chair and kissed my cheek "Sorry for the crappy breakfast, I haven't been to the store." She attempted to explain herself but I didn't really care.

"It's okay, thank you," I replied and gave her a kiss on the cheek. She grabbed her purse off the counter as she told me about our plans for after school.  I watched Addie lay at my feet and stare up at me, obviously wanting some food.

"So, I'll see you after dance because I have a lot going on today. But, I will miss you." Mam sweetly said and walked back over to me.

"I'll miss you too." I smiled and hugged after taking a bite of my toast "Have a good day at work." I said and felt her give me tons of kisses.

"Be good at school, I love you zillions." She responded and puckered her lips. I gave her a kiss and then watched her walk away. I heard her grab her keys out of the bowl and close the front door - I didn't even tell her I love her.
