Madeline's POV: I woke up and got ready for work. I left the house and went -
When I got home I got a text... from my mom. She said she wants me to come home. Why now? She hasn't wanted anything to do with me for 7 years. She lived in upstate New York so I would only have to drive like 2 hours. I didn't want to go without Jordan, but I didn't want to make him go. I decided I should tell him, and let him choose weather he wants to go or not. M: hey, there's something I need to tell you J: ok? M: my mom called me, she asked me to come home. J: that's a good thing right? M: at this point, I'm not sure. Seeing her is going to open old wounds. J: do you want me to go with you? To you know, make sure everything's ok? I mean I completely understand if you don't, but if you do, M: I would love for you to come J: When are you planning on going? M: I was thinking tomorrow morning maybe you could come here tonight, sleep over and we can drive up around 6am. J: sounds good, I can come over around 7 tonight I looked at the fine and it was 6 M: ok. See you then❤️ J: ❤️ -
I got changed out of work clothes and put on a purple cropped hoodie and leggings

After a an hour I heard a knock on the door. I opened it to see Camila walking in. "Sorry I forgot my key" she said walking past me, putting her purse down on the table. "Jordan's gonna be here soon" I said. "Again? Will you two every get enough of each other?" She joked, and I laughed a bit. "Hey, So me and Jordan are leaving early tomorrow morning to go see my mom" I said, and Camilas eyes widened, "she called?" She asked and I nodded yes. "Are you happy about it or no?" She asked. "It's a little bit of both. I mean I'm happy she's starting to make more of an effort. But at the same time, she hurt my so bad. I don't think I could ever fully forgive her" I explained. I heard another knock on the door, I got up and opened it. I smiled, hugged Jordan. He came in and we went to my room. We sat and just talked for a while, about my mom, and his family. Then we started talking about my brother. "I think he would have really liked you" i said smiled, holding Jordan's hand. I was on one side of the bed and he was on the other. We were looking at pictures. He picked up a family picture;
"We almost look kind of happy there right?" I said. He stayed quiet. -
The next morning my alarm went off, and me and Jordan left. After we drove for a while, we finally got there. I took a deep breath and we went to the front door. I knocked and Jordan grabbed my hand, I looked up at him and smiled. The door opened and I saw my mom. She just looked me up and down, then did the same to Jordan. "Who's this?" She asked. "This is Jordan. My boyfriends" I said. "Nice to meet you Ms. Petch" Jordan said. "Come in" She said, opening the door wider. We both went in. -
Me and my mom caught up. She didn't seem to like Jordan. God y why. Probably because he makes me So how did you two meet?" She asked. "Well, Jordan's in a band, and we met at one of his gigs in New York" I said. "Ugh, music isn't a real career, I've always told you that Madeline" she said. "Well, it can be a hit or miss industry but if you have the talent, which Maddie does, you can make it" he said smiling at me, I smiled back, until my mom opened her mouth. "Psh she don't have talent" she snarled. "I don't think you'd say that if you heard her sing and play" Jordan said. "I'd rather up my ears off" she said. "Excuse me for a minute" I said getting up. I went to the bathroom. I closed and locked the door and slid down it, putting my face in my hands, wiping the tears away.
Jordan's POV: "What the hell?" I said. "Excuse me?" Maddie's mom said. "Why would you talk to her like that?" I said. "Because she's a little bitch" she said. "What kind of mother says that about her daughter?! She's the sweetest person I've ever met, and she doesn't deserve to be treated like that!" I yelled. I walked down the hall to the bathroom where Maddie was. I knocked on the door lightly, "Maddie?". She opened the door. I saw tears stained in her face. I hugged her tightly and she cried into my shoulder. "I'm so sorry Maddie. But I'm telling you, everything she said to you is so untrue. Your amazingly talented" he said. "I wanna go" she said. I nodded and grabbed her hand, and we walked out. Her mom looked up at us, her still sitting on the couch, drinking her wine. "We're gonna go" I said. We walked to the door. "Wow can't even handle a little criticism" she mumbled. Maddie turned around. Her face completely changed. "I've had it to deal with your criticism so much, to the point where I didn't want to live anymore. You broke me. You fucked me up so bad. After Charlie died, and I told you what was going through my head, you told me to shut up and stop dramatic. Do you know how that made me feel? Like I was worthless. I don't want to see you ever again" She yelled. She ran out the door and to the car, I followed. -
Madeline's POV: We got back to my apartment. "I don't want to leave you, after what happened" he said. "No, it's ok. You have a concert in New Jersey tomorrow you guys have to leave early" I said. "Ok, we'll call me if you need, I'm only 20 minutes away" he said. I nodded and kissed him goodbye. I saw Camila stumble out of her room. She had a big t shirt on and her hair was all messy. "Maddie? What are you doing here?" She asked. "Things didn't go as planned with my mom, so we came home early" I said. I then saw someone walk out of her room, he was in his boxers and shirtless. He had a six pack and was really hot. "Umm, who's this?" I asked. Camila turned around. "This is KJ" she said. "And why is he here?" I asked. "We've been seeing each other for a few weeks. I didn't want you to meet him this way" she said. "Oh, well, hi KJ I'm Maddie" I said trying to make the situation less awkward. He smiled and waved a bit. "Ok, well I'm gonna go to bed. So goodnight" I said walking past both of them to my room. I texted Jordan; M: I think I just cock blocked Camila J: what?! M: yeah, she has some guy over, apparently their dating J: who is he? M: his name is KJ. I think he's Australian J: oh, wow. What does he look like? M: he's got black hair, he's tall and he has a six pack J: .... M: don't worry. Your cuter ☺️❤️ J: ❤️ M: well I should get some sleep. Goodnight J: I love you M: I love you too
