Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 36

I open my eyes and saw mam's chocolate brown eyes staring at me. I must've slept in her room. I let out a small smile as she stroked my cheek.

"Morning" I whispered and she leaned forward planting a soft kiss on my forehead

"Goodmorning Maxy." I giggled a bit at her new name for me making her smile.

"That's cute." She look straight into my eyes like she was memorizing every detail of me.

I snuggled up closer to her burrying my face into the crook of her neck as she wrapped her arms around me pulling me closer to her. I love moments like this, I feel safe, loved, protected. I also want mam to remember these moments of us like this.

Even if I'm dying, I want to live a normal life. Not being looked as a fragile glass. Keep the walls around me even though the public already saw my face. Its terrifying to be in this situations. Honestly, I'm really scared cause I don't know what will happen or when will it happen. I have no clue.

"I love you so much" Mam whispered but her voice cracked giving me the sign that she's holding back the tears. I wrapped my arms around her hugging her tighter.

"I know mam, I love you too so so much." I whispered. I hate seeing mam like this. She wasn't suppose to be like this. She's suppose to be happy.

"Mam you have a meeting right."

"M'yea" She mumbled making me smile. I loosened my hold on her cause she needs to get up if she doesn't want to be late.

"Then you need to get up already. Come on." I whispered as I tap her back gently but she just held me tighter burrying her face on the crook of my neck.

"You'll come with us right?" I let out a soft giggle and nodded. She finally pulled away and looked at me. Staring every detail of me making me look away.

"Mam you need to get up or you'll be late." I said sitting up the bed and looking down to her. She's staring at nothing making me sigh. I got out of the bed  putting all my strength to stand up straight and walk to the bottom of the bed. I put my hands under the duvet and pulled mam's feet making her scream.

"Sh*t! Maxene!" Mam sat up with a huff as I fell on to the floor in laughter. Her reaction was priceless.

"You cheeky sh*t" Mam got off the bed and immediately attcked me with tickles making me laugh more.

"Mam stop." I laughed. I feel my breathing get heavier and my throat closing up but mam didn't stop so I held her wrists pulling my self up falling into her as I steady my breath.

"Baby, you okay?" Mam asked in concern and I can hear her heart beating so loud. I nodded as I finally got my breath steady.

"I'm sorry..." She whispered holding me tight rubbing my back.

"Its okay mam, I'm fine."

"You know, we can just stay here and just cuddle."

"Mam.." I warned." You need to go to the meeting so you'll know what category you'll get. " She sighed and curse under her breath. I smiled a little and stood up letting out a deep breath. Mam got up and put her arms around me. It seems that she's not planning to let me go and I like that way.

"Mam, go on get ready. I'll be downstairs making breakfast." She hesitated for a second but then she finally let go of me and planted a kiss on my forehead.

"I won't be long" She said as I walked towards the door. I gave her a smile before exiting her room going downstairs. It was dark diwnstairs cause the curtains are close so I walk towards the window and was about yobopen the curtain to let the light in but then I heard voices outside. Too many of them.
