"We're going to Disneyland!" Katie squealed as my mum came into the living room.
"Who's going to Disneyland?" she asked, as she sat next to me.
"Apparently we are." I say as Harry squeezes my hand. My mum smiles at me and nods.
"You guys deserve it." She says to everyone, smiling.
"You should come with us." I smiled, looking up at her. She scoffs and shakes her head.
"This is your vacation. Plus I don't think your friend's want an old lady slowing them down." She shrugs. I stood up, standing in front of her.
"But you need a deserved vacation too mum." I said, searching for some sort of wanting in her eyes.
"It' s your own adventure Cass." She smiled sweetly, her hand cupping my cheek. "I won't always be there, plus you can always visit me." She shrugs.
I nod slowly, kissing her forehead and hugging her. "Are you sure?" I whisper.
I feel her nod, "Positive."
"So wait what time are we leaving back to California?" Katie asks.
"We have to wake up at 5 am to get in the plane at 6." Harry says. I smile as Katie groans and dramatically drops her head on Luke's lap.
"Again!" she whined.
"You're so dramatic Katherine." I say, as rest my head on my mum's shoulder. She groaned in reply, she hated being called by her first name.
Ashton came a few moments later, smiling. My eyes met his and I raised an eyebrow.
"Why so happy Irwin?" Luke asks, grinning. It's weird how he can read my brain and ask the questions I want to ask. Then again, Luke was like my other half, being that we were basically brother and sister.
"No reason." he shrugs. Luke playfully smacked the boy's head and Ashton smacked Luke's stomach in return.
"Jerk." Luke murmurs as he rubs his stomach.
"Well I'll go and rest now. You guys should too. It's a big day tomorrow." My mum says kissing my head and giving me a small smile before walking to her bedroom.
My eyes trailed behind her. Tomorrow was the real goodbye for us. I'll leave again and we'll repeat the same thing that happened 5 years ago, and I wasn't excited for it.
I can already imagine it. Her standing at the terminal, she'll look into my eyes and say goodbye. Her green eyes will be glassy, trying hard to contain the tears.
Harry will be tugging my arm to go, it'll be late, and just as she kisses my head, I'll be gone. By the time I turn around, she'll be sobbing and hugging herself.
Her only daughter and baby girl is gone again, and then that's when the thought hit me. Parents are there since the first day, especially mothers.
They're the first arms that carry you, there the first warmth you feel, the ones that have been there forever, the ones who teach you besides dad's.
But in my case all I really had was my mum. My mum's family, I never knew. They lost touch the same day my mum was Mrs. Lakes, and my father's parents, they hated my mother.
All I ever had close to family was my mum's co-workers and close friends.
So my mum has been everything to me. My mum, dad, grandma, and grandpa. She knew me more than anyone else. Now imagine being with someone for 16 years, and them being your only foundation.
