Not Alone

Part 8

I walk home and I go inside to see my mom pacing around looking really nervous.

"Mom?" I say.

"Thank God! Finally you're here! Do you know how worried I've been?!" she says.

"Sorry I was just hanging out with my friends," I say.

"I know honey. I just got really worried and stuff. You know what, don't worry about it. I over think way too much," she says.

"It's fine mom. I'm fine, everything's fine. Calm down okay?" I say.

"Okay don't worry I'm calm now. Anyways, I made the cake. Do you want a piece right now?" she asks.

"I would love to," I say.

We go to the kitchen and she takes out a medium sized cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles around the sides.

"Mmmm that looks and smells delicious!" I say.

"I hope it is delicious," she says.

She cuts a piece for me and puts it on a place and gives me a fork. I take the plate from her and that her. I use the fork to take a small piece and I eat it. Once I taste it I feel like I don't want to taste anything else. The taste of the sweetness, the chocolate, just about everything about it was so amazing and different. I haven't had cake in so long and it's crazy how something can taste so good.

"Do you like it?" my mom asks.

"Like it?! I love it! Thank you so much!" I say.

"I'm glad you do! You don't know how worried I was that you weren't going to like it," she says.

"You were worried for nothing. This is the best thing I've had in ages thanks so much Mom!" I say.

"Aww thank you!" she says.

I put the cake onto the table for a bit so I can give her a hug then we pull back and I get the cake and continue eating it. I feel like I can eat this everyday and not get sick of it.

"I'm going to go to sleep now okay mom? I'm kind of tired," I say.

"Okay hun. Goodnight and sweet dreams," she says.

"Goodnight," I say.

I go to my bathroom to do my night routine then change into something comfortable and go to bed.

I might have lost my sister recently and I really was devasted about that but things were finally starting to feel right. Everything was finally falling into place. As much as I wish Isla could be here to witness this, she can't and I know she wouldn't want me to not spend my life mourning over her so I just have to live my life to the fullest, especially for her.

My mom was finally back to being my mom, my best friends were here for me as always, and the craziest part was that I made a new friend who was a guy and even though there are so many dangers involved when doing that, I was still going to be friends with him because he made me really happy and I was glad I had him.

Things were getting really crazy and good but that part really scared me. Why? Because all good things come to an end and since I had experience, I felt even more scared. I wish things could stay this way forever but they can't. All good things have to come to an end right? Or maybe this time it would be different. I can't get my hopes up though. I guess only time will tell. That night, I got the best sleep I had gotten in years.
