chapter 33: one last time

55 11 34
                                    

I wake up and the first thing I think of is my mom.

Did she make is home safely?

Did she make it home at all

I quickly scramble out of my bed and rush to her room. I burst through the door and I'm greeted with my mom in a gown with a word search book.

"Morning son. What do you want for breakfast?" asks my mother.

"Um, morning mom. Eggs are fine."I reply with a smile but slight confusion.

"Okay, I'm gonna make breakfast quickly." she says before getting up and walking to the kitchen.

Looks like I was worried for nothing. Phew. But something still feels off but I don't know what.

[Fast forward to after exams]

Exams are finally over! Yaasss! Everyone is now enjoying the holidays because who doesn't like a break from school.

But according to Jesse's parents they're leaving tonight for the airport. Which sucks, big time, because that means I only have today to be with him before he leaves. UGH!

Suddenly I get a text from someone.

*close chat*

Wait, I need to tell my mom first.

"Birth giver!" I yell as I run down the stairs.

"No you can't do a word search in that book. My property." she says with a slight pout.

"Firstly, selfish much..." I say kinda disappointed.

"Love you too honey." she responds and I give her the 'excuse me' look.

"Not what I was gonna ask. I was gonna ask if you'd let me go out with Jesse and his sister today. They're leaving for Italy tonight and I don't have much time left before they leave. So can I please go?" I ask as nicely as I can.

"No." she says with a cold expression.

"What WHY NOT?!" I whine.
