Chapter 18 - Clingy Belle

Isabelle's Pov

I wake up with my arms around Mom. After what happened yesterday I never want to let go of my Mom ever again. I was alone for ages yesterday and it made me really upset. Mom starts to wake up.

"Morning Babygirl" she says kissing my cheek.

"Hi Mommy" I say hugging her even more.

Mom tries to get up but fails.

"Can you let go of me so I can get out of bed?" she asks.

I shake my head no.

"And why not?" Mom questions.

"Because yesterday scared me a lot too much really I was on breaking point. So I thought that if I held on to you forever and never left your side, I wouldn't get lost again. I was so scared yesterday" I say with a tear running down my face. Mom quickly wipes the tear away.

"I have interviews today" I say.

"Oh" replies Belle she let's a few tears escape from her eyes. I go to get up but Belle holds on tighter.

"I could ring Scooter and see if he could allow you to come and maybe you could do the interviews with me" I say.

"Could you please please please please" Belle says.

"What he says no?" I ask Belle.

"Then I'll sit there and cry until you come back" she says.

"I'll call Scooter then, okay, but I'm not promising anything" I say.

I call Scooter.

S- hey Ari

A- hey Scooter! um I was wondering about something and I'm not too sure if you allow it. But I'm afraid it's the stage she going through at the moment.

S- what is it Ari?

A- is Belle able to do the interviews with me today? after what happened yesterday she hasn't let me go all morning and I haven't even been able to get out of bed because she won't let me.

S- I can't see it would be a problem, just as long as she isn't going to get in the way. It's not like you're performing today. Is she okay tho?

A- yeah I'm sure it's nothing. Yesterday I think she had a panic attack, she was pretty worked up. I hope it's nothing any way she literally scared to leave my side.

S- bring her along and see can do them with you

A- thanks Scooter

We hang up.

"Okay Belle, you can come today but you have to let me get ready,okay" I say.

"Okay but can I still hold you're hand and stay with you?" she asks.

"Sure. but are you alright?" I ask.

"I don't know I feel all sad and scared inside. You're my safe spot. You may me feel safe. Yesterday when I was parted from you, it made me realise how much you make me feel safe. I had no one to hold me when I was crying". she says.

"That's my role as your Mommy baby. I'll always be there for you, Mommy loves you" I say.

"I love you too" she replies.

"I was so scared when you didn't come back yesterday, but Scooter said I had to go out on stage and that he would look for you. I was so upset too" I say.

I let go of Mom and I climb into her lap. I hug her and she can now stand up. She carries me down stairs and into the kitchen. She puts me down and I hold onto her legs. She moves a stool over to the stove and I sit in it. That way I'm still close to Mommy. She holds my hand while she's waiting for the pancakes to cook. Once they are done I sit next to Mom while we eat. Once I finish I speak to Mom.

"Are you okay with me being so close to you?" I ask.

"Of course I am, I'm your mother. As long as you're happy I'm happy" Mom replies.

We go upstairs and start and get ready. I sit on Mom's bed playing on the phone while Mom's in the the shower. She comes out and puts me in the bath. She baths me then gets me ready. Mom puts me in this cute little dress that flows out.
