GREY'S PERCEPTION *COMPLETED*✔

Chapter 26

Harry's pov

I scratched the back of my head thinking

I did use protection that I'm so positive about

I disposed it myself

Unless it broke

But then I don't buy cheap ones and they've never failed me

I know she's just being paranoid

I'm sure everything will be fine

Hopefully

Sandra's pov

I smiled watching my mum sleep peacefully

It's been a long time I've seen that view

I thought back to this morning about me being one day late and I decided to call Mary

I quietly snuck out the back door so as not wake my mum

*rings rings rings*

"Boo" her cheery voice sang in

Me- hey um I'm in a crisis

M- you didn't kill anyone right?

Haha very funny I thought

Me- of course not...I'm one day late

M- it happens all the time chill out

Me- it's never happened to me before

M- be worried? Before Harry when was the last time?

Me- Harry was my first

M- that's cute. Yeah back on track, does he know that and did he use protection?

Me- yes he did and yes he knows

M- your hormones could be playing up. Chill for this week and if you still don't get it we'll go grab a test together

Me- oh God

M- everything will be fine Sandra. Say it with me

Me- everything will be fine

Talking to Mary made me feel much better and I walked in to see my mum up

Yeah I remember how she doesn't sleep for long

"You were out sweet" she smiled as i saw her began to chop ingredients for the pasta

Yum

"Yeah I had to talk to a friend" I said honestly

"Or a boyfriend. I know we're not that close anymore but you can talk to me , so who is he?" She smiled as she got out a pan and the oil

Do I tell her?

"That's a story for another day" I smiled looking down

"You'll tell me when you're ready. But you both use protection yes?" She raised a brow

Kill me now

I couldn't talk but stare at my feet

"Yeah sure" I murmured

"Okay then" she smiled as she began to stir fry

"So how's Ben?" I asked

"I ended that" she looked down

"Oh why?" I asked out of curiosity

"I realised I already have a family and I should stick with that for better or worse" she smiled

"Hmm" I murmured

It took whipping and stiring which I loved doing and we were done

I hipped it on my plate making sure I had a lot

My mum dished hers also as we walked to our beds

I sat on Julie's and she sat on mine

"Where's your roommate?" She noticed looking around seeing only my stuff

"She left" I sighed

"What do you mean by left?" She pierced her grey eyes into mine

"She left" I said shrugging

" someone's got an appetite " she teased looking down at my plate

Yeah I did take a lot

Not because I was hungry

But because I hadn't had this in years

Yeah that should be it

I guess

"Haven't had this in years , don't blame me" I laughed

"Whatever makes you happy doll" she laughed

"Let's go see a movie tomorrow " she smiled

Who is this lady?

The mum I had was a busy scheduled agent and here she is with a movie date

Dad modelled her that way

She clocked more hours at work to avoid being home

And Ben made her more flexible

Let's see what this new Karen Grey seems like

We finished up in silence and I took the dishes and cleaned them up

We layed side by side

"I miss him everyday and it was my fault" she started

She's referring to Joshua

My brother

"Mum you did nothing wrong " I said slowly

"Yes I did. If only I were bold enough to ask for a divorce, he would still be here" she sighed

"You're the strongest woman I know. You did your best" I hugged her kissing her cheek

"Thanks sweetie " she hugged me back running my hair

"On the bright side, I'd be graduating next year. Stuff of the grown ups " I laughed

"You were always a smart kid. Finished highschool a year earlier and had enough grades to get you into college and you're graduating at 20 , maybe the valedictorian since you were at highschool and then turning 21 a few months after. You did you and I  proud" she smiled looking at me stretching to hold my hand

She held it and it never felt more warm

She's proud of me

A tear rolled down my cheek

All my hard work and running around busting my ass off

All the times I got looked at in middle school and highschool because I never had anyone come over because of my dad

Many days I would seat alone and have no one

It all paid off

Hopefully everything goes well and I'll get my period this week

I layed into her arms

"Mum can i ask you something?" I asked feeling a bit nervous

"Of course baby" she brushed my hair

"When you met dad ,how did you know he was the one till he ended up this way?" I asked thinking back to the dream with Harry

"Well , there's no such thing as the one Sandra. You'll come across different guys and they may all make you feel the same way but there would be one who would stand out to meet your needs. 
If he gives you peace of mind ,  fufuils your heart desires , puts you first , takes care of you and loves you then you shouldn't let go " she rubbed my hair

I shouldn't let go I thought

"I shouldn't let go?" I asked feeling drowsy from exhaustion even if I didn't so much today but sit around

Now I'm feeling a bit scared

I literally did nothing and now I'm exhausted

I hope I get it soon

"Sandra baby" I felt my mum shake me slightly making me wake up a bit

"I wouldn't let go Harry" I murmured closing my eyes and letting my subconscious state knock me out
