Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 40

It's been four days. Mum needed to go back to America for her work. But we'll see her soon.

Mam is not yet home and its already nine in the evening. She should be home by now. Honestly, mam and I are not in good terms right now cause we had a row earlier. She wouldn't let me go out with Emily. She said I should either stay here or go with her to bootcamp.

I don't know but I've got a feeling that she's already getting a bit paranoid. She always ask me if I was okay like every ten minutes. Then she would treat me like I was a fragile glass and its kind of irritating me now. She's just reminding me that I'm going to die the next few months.

The only thing I regret earlier was saying that I hate her. I regret that right away the moment I stormed upstairs. I was going to take it back but it was too late cause she left. I was frustrated and guilt is eating me alive for hours now as I wait here on the sofa looking at the tv.

Hours passed still no sign of her and I was getting worried. Something isn't right. Mam won't go home this late. She should be here by now. I was start pacing back and forth as my heart race. Thinking where could mam be in this right hour.

Knock! Knock!

I jump out of my thoughts as I heard loud knocking from the front door. I was scared that this might be a bad person. I walked towards the door and rest my hand on the knob.

"Who is it?" I said but it came out shaky.

"B-Babe, Its Kim." I frowned at the tone of her voice like she was crying so I immediately open the door and saw her state making a tiny gasp come out of my mouth. She was crying non stop and her shirt has blood stains all over it. What the hell happen.

"Come inside." I said but then she shook her head making me frown.

"Babe, C-Cheryl.."

"Mam? What about mam? She's not home yet. Why are you crying did you two have a fight?" I asked as I walked outside closing the door behind me.

"No, no. C-Cheryl had an....accident." My eyes grew wide and my heart starts racing. This can't be f*cking real. I was stood there taking it all in when Kimberley dragged me towards her car. I climbed in the passenger sit. Kim started up the car as soon as she got on the driver's seat and started driving.

"I-Is that..Is that her blood.on your shirt." I whispered weakly looking at my knees as I felt hot tears ready to come out.

"Yea" She breathe and that's when the tears fall and I can't stop it. I want mam, I need her to be okay and tell her I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was a b*tch, for saying I hate her when the truth is I really love her.

"Babe, she'll be okay." Kim whispered as she placed her hand on top of mine. She doesn't know that. Nobody knows that.

--------------------------

I rushed through the double doors and went straight to reception when Kim grabbed my arm. We walked towards the ER to see the rest of the girls, Lily and a woman I've never seen before.

"How's mam?" I croaked as I sat on Nicola's lap. She looked up to me and shook her head.

"She's still in there babe." She whispers as she stroked my hair.

"What happened?"

"A truck missed a red light and hit her car." I bit my lip as she took something on her side.

"This was found on the scene." She handed me the ziplock that has mam's phone and other things. I took it with shaking hands and held on to it. I let out a breath as I stood up stumbling a little but Nicola caught me just in time.
