Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 59

Its freezing cold and I'm already shivering. We're still here outside and mam's just crying beside while here I am still frozen with no tears coming out from me.

I don't know how long we have been sitting here, maybe 20 minutes, 30..or even an hour, I don't know already but I'm guessing its too long cause the streets had gone silent now and the lights of them houses have been turn off just a few are still on including us.

"Cheryl, Max.." I heard mum's sweet voice called. She might've thought that she had given us enough time to talk. But we haven't talk.

"Its freezing out here..Come on let's talk inside." She crouched down a bit as she faced us two. She looked at mam and wiped her tears then to me, askong me what's wrong but I just looked away.

Mum always had an effect on me that even one look at her, I know my walls will crumble and I'll break down.

"Lets go inside and we'll talk okay?" Mum sounds disappointed as she helped mam up and they started to walk away. I looked at Wacky in my arms to find him asleep. I closed my eyes and composed myself.

"Max. Come in." I turn and saw mum looking at me. You can do this Max. I stood up and made my way to mum, entering the house and into the front room where I find mam sitted on the couch with her head down.

"Sit down." I looked at her then at Wacky. She walk towards me then took Wacky in my arms.

"Now, sit down. I'll take him upstairs." I do what she said without complaining. Mum went upstairs leaving mam and I sat opposite to each other.

I can feel her staring at me but I can't seem to bring myself to look at her state cause it breaks my heart seeing her like that. I don't even know why she's crying and why she's apologizing. I'm the one who's wrong here right.

I shot my head up towards the stairs when I heard footsteps and saw mum. Here it goes.

"Maxene is there something wrong? Do you have a problem? Is there something you're not telling us?" I shook my head denying the fact that I really have a problem and its a big one.

"What happened this morning...Why did you do that.." My eyes starts to blurry at the reason behind that incident. "You clearly know what the doctor said you'll take two pills in the morning, two pills after lunch and one pill after dinner. We were all in the same f*cking room that day. You kno-"

"You won't understand..." I whispered staring at the floor as a tear fell. I feel mam's eyes and ears on me.

"What- Then make us understand...We'll help you." I shook my head and wipe my tears as I was slowly breaking down bringing my knees up to my chest putting my arms around it curling into a ball.

The scene is so heartbreaking. Katy and Cheryl watch as their daughter break down infront of them. What Cheryl was feeling was unexplainable. She had that deep pain in her heart. It was something she didn't and never liked.

"I hate my f*cking life." It was barely a whisper but they heard it clearly and it made Katy look at Cheryl who sat there frozen staring at her broken daughter in front of her tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I hate it so much..."

"Max.." Katy whispered and it made Max look up to her and stood up taking Katy and Cheryl by surprise.

Max needed to get it all out of her chest because if ahe doean't then sge will just burst.

"That's what you want huh..To find about what I'm feeling and what's going on in here." She tapped her head and wiped her tears. This time Cheryl stood up.
