It was finally Sunday. My mum was home again. I stood up pretty early and it was just 7 but I ran into my mum's room. She still slept. I sneaked back outside and headed downstairs. I would let my mum sleep for a while. She was probably pretty tired after all this work. I went to the fridge and took the ingredients I needed for pancakes. I wanted to give my mum a present. So I decided to cook for her. I wasn't a good cook but I could do pancakes.

After everything was done I put the pancakes on a plate and looked for cream and some berry's. The only berry's I found were some strawberries and blueberries. Then I took the cream and put it on the pancakes. After that I put the strawberries on the top and some blueberries on the bottom. Then I put the plate on the table with some flatware and then I waited.

I wanted to be right here for my mum. She would come and I would see her directly. I would hug her really tight and I would give her a kiss on the cheek. I missed my mum. More than anything. She was like my best friend and it was hard not to see her. But now it was Sunday. I was happy to see her again.

I took out my phone and went through my messages. There was one finn wrote me:

Finn❣️
I miss you princess

I smiled after I read this message. "What are you smiling at?" I heard the voice of my mum. I looked up and smiled even more. "Mum." I said and run to her. I gave her a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek like I wanted to do it. "I missed you so much." I said and smiled at her. "Oh honey are these pancakes for me?" she asked and looked at the pancakes. "Yeah I made it for you." I said and smiled.  "Oh that's pretty sweet honey." she said and sat down. I sat down next to her and looked at her. "Are you going to watch me while I eat?" she asked and laughed. "Oh no no sorry." I said and took out my phone.

I went back to the message and wrote Finn 'I miss you too curly' I didn't know why I wrote curly. I thought it was a cool name after he called me princess. I smiled again. "What are you doing on your phone? You're always smiling. Has this to do with a boy?" she said and nudged me. "Um no." I said and put my phone away.

After a while my mum stood up, put the plate into the sink and turned around to face me. "Ok so I need to talk with you about something honey." she said and looked a little bit sad. "What?" I asked and stood up. "So I'm really really sorry but.....it has to do with my job." she said and bit her lip. I didn't answer. "Look they gave me the chance to go to an other country and help sick people there. I'll be gone for maybe a week. It's in Africa." she said and looked down. I also looked down. "Did you already say yes?" I said and didn't look at her. "Yes. I'm so sorry honey." she said. "It's ok mum." I said with no emotion, still looking down. "When will you go?" I asked and looked up. "My bags are already done. A taxi will be here in an hour." she said.

We didn't say something for a while. Then I stood up and hugged her. I didn't know why I just felt like doing it. She hugged me back and apologized again. Then she went upstairs, made herself ready and came back downstairs. I waited on the sofa the whole time. Then I heard the taxi outside. My mum came to the door and opened it. "Do you have everything?" I asked her and hugged her. "Yes honey. Thank you for your understanding." she said and gave me a kiss on my cheek. I just nodded and then she walked down to the taxi.

After she opened the door she waved at me and then she went inside the car. I looked after the car for a while until I couldn't see it anymore. Then I sighed. I was alone again. I really thought my mum would do something with me. Like go outside together or something like that. But she left again. Was this true mother love? I didn't know anymore.

I sat down on my sofa and called Finn. He was the only one I could talk to. Then he picked up. "Grace. What's wrong?" "My mum.....she's gone again. I thought she would stay today but she left again." "What where is she?" "In Africa. For a week. And then she works again." "Oh no. I'm sorry grace." "I need you Finn. I'm so alone again." "I can't come right now. I'm sorry Grace." "Why?" "I have some things to do. But I see you tomorrow. Love you." "yeah.....love you too" then he hung up.

I put my phone back in my pocket and looked up. Wow. Finn was also busy. I was alone again. Alone. Nobody knew for how long.

I stood up and went to the door. I wanted to go outside. I just wanted to calm down a little bit and feel the sunlight on my cold skin. I took my shoes and went outside. It was pretty hot and it was still morning. I walked and walked. I would go to the flower field again.

I walked and walked and thought about all this. It wasn't even evening and I was already down. Finn was busy. I didn't know where he was and my mum. Man she was gone. She was probably at the airport in this moment. I missed her. I missed Finn. I missed the old times. Where everything was normal. I was happy. My mum and my dad were home. But that was all gone. forever.
