NOW YOU SEE ME.

Chapter 40.

' It has to be. It's for the best.'

My mom's words keep on ringing in my head while my eyes are focused on the door, waiting at any minute for him to show up.

Not long after thinking this, the door opens and in comes Connor. This is what I've been dreading yet knowing full well that it has to be done.

So before I jump right into this, My mom had a lot to talk about, well more like argued, chatted and then argued again and yep you guessed it, it's all got to do with Connor and my trip here in Miami.

I can recall her words, hitting me so hard that I found myself in tears.

" Bailey, I can't lose you and you being here almost had me lose you. Hospital visits, I can't go through that again." She said, shaking her head.

" I'm sorry mom, " I tried apologising.

' I know that travelling and doing this seemed like an adventure, I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself, you got a chance to do something different."

' Yes I did, that's why I want to stay and - '

' No.' She said sharply.

' Mom?' I frowned at her.

' We have to go back.' I start shaking my head in disagreement and when I'm about to protest, she jumps in. ' There's nothing for you here '

' That's not true, Connor - '

' Oh sweetheart, you're still young, this, whatever you call it is a new thing,'

' I love him mom, we are - '

' Again, you are still young, what do you know about love, look you'll meet another boy. '

' N, no. I don't want another person, Connor is enough for me.' I argue.

' No, listen to me, put yourself in my shoes!' Her tone rises, taking me aback.

She takes a breath, seeming to calm herself. Looking at me and she took my hand in hers. ' Sweetheart, you were doing so well, you've come so far, we've been through so much together and now you want to throw that away.' I look away from her, her words seeming to hit me and open my eyes to her side.

' As your mother, I love you and want the best for you, I've watched you suffer and almost losing your life, how do you think it makes me feel as a mother, to see her only child, her baby losing her life, being let down time and time again. ' She pauses and sniffles, making me to look at her again , just to see her pulling back tears.

Gosh, she's breaking my heart.

' Mom - ' I try to say.

' Bailey, I need you with me, I need you safe. I can't take more of you hurting, let me protect you from any more, it's time for this adventure to come to an end, let's go back home, it's time to go home.'

' Okay but he can come - ' she shakes her head and that's when things start to click in mind of what she's been saying.

' What? No mom, I ca- can't.'

' Yes you can cause you will.' She sternly.

Tears start falling down my cheeks. ' As your mother I have to take care of you, and that's what I'll do, Bailey I'm sorry but you can't see him anymore, I forbid you from seeing him again.'

' But mom, '

' No more please. It's better this way, tomorrow we leave and once we do, you leave everything behind and everyone involved!' She demands.
