Chapter 9)Guess This Is Goodbye

Today a truck came in the morning to take most of my belongings im sure they told them I had quite a lot of things that's why..

I was only left with one small suitcase with the things I will need for today and tomorrow morning since I was gonna spend the rest of my Sunday out with my mom before she takes her plane..

But today after I finished putting stickers on my boxes of what is inside, the men put them in their truck and left and I don't even know exacly where they went but obviously to my dad.

Playing with the knots in my hair, my mom was just finishing serving our breakfast and we ate in silence both of us were already dreading the departure and separation that's gonna take place in less than 48 hours seeing that it's now 12pm

"Tash honey, I think I shouldn't go anymore.. You are still so young and I want to be around when... When you going through the rest of your adolescent stages, you gonna need your mom and I will be.. Sighs..
.."

I just reached for her hand and told her what was in my heart...

" Mom I will be okay, I know I've always had you around since my birth and it's not going to be easy but I promise I will try and grow up, this day was somehow going to come right? ."

"Sweetheart I... "

" No mom it's okay I promise to take care of myself okay...

I let out a smile and I meant it this time it was really genuine.., I hugged her that's when she said..

"Hey Tashyy when you meet a nice boy don't forget to use protection when you know.. the fornication hap.."

  "Mom!!! Gosh please!"

I ran out of the kitchen bewildered with my mom's outburst and I heard her laughter all the way to my room.

I shut the door and took a bubble bath in my walk in bathroom.. It had space with my shower next to it and everything needed in a bathroom.. Im going to miss this room... I suddenly felt like taking both a shower and a bath at the same time, sulking that I won't have this again but I settled on my bath and decided to take a shower before I go to bed and another bath or shower in the morning depending on how I'm feeling, I finished and started drying my hair and actually put a lot of effort in curling the hair hanging from my  ponytail and I noticed that the brownish in my hair is fading.. I dont know why I have always dyed my hair that colour since I was young never having my hair in its original color, not that I have anything against it but mom always said my hair reminded him of my dad and I didn't want any resemblance to him at the time.

"honey, come down now we going shopping,"

I went downstairs with my black Jeans and grey hoodie paired with white sneakers, and I saw Lorry with my mom in the dining and my aunty her eyes already on me arms wide open, I rushed to her  crushing into her huge warm arms argh I missed her so much..,

"hey beautiful, you forgot about me the moment you met your daddy huh?",

"No aunty I was just digesting a lot of course I thought about you and I missed you too a lot.."

"okay honey I  just came to see your mommy before she leaves"

"oh so you didn't come visit me too" , I pouted with a hand on my heart faking
disappointment
She just laughed brushing me off

"nomatter how much I love my sister I love you more bunny and you won't be that far we still in the same town so I will see you lots and you will even get tired of me...

i gotta go now and leave you girls with your mommy daughter bonding sessions.. "

aunt hugged mom  and my mom wiping   tears that escaped her eyes also getting me to tear up and Lorry looking all worried and upset as she lifts her little hands up a signal she always do when she wants to be lifted but as I bowed to her height she embraced me with her tiny hands.. That kid is way too emotional for her own good.

********************
We have been in the mall for 2hours now and I have like 6 shopping bags in my hands and my mom is holding three with her handbag.., most of the stuff is my mom's formal wear as she is moved to a new firm.. Honestly I adore my mom so much she is all curvy and she is such a beauty all the clothes just seem to hold her in the right places while I'm stuck with almost nonexistent curves or it's what I see and slim body and just plain looking, we were now in the daisy darlings shopping for underwear and my mom was throwing everything she sees in the basket for me and I was making faces and she was like

"you know what Tashyy babe you can never have enough underwear and you really don't want to be stuck in a situation where you shop for these with daddy dearest"

that earned a laugh from me but she had a point.. I opened my wallet and saw that credit card he left for me and I decided I won't use it, only for emergencies and the time I looked up my mom was already done paying... Argh she spent a lot today and it's worrying me.

I know she has enough money but she is moving to a new place and she will have more expenses than me,you must be wondering why  I worry about my mom's expenses, honestly I also don't know

"Mom you know this was unnecessary maybe the other basic shopping but clothes and all... I have like lots of them" ,

"shhh honey you my baby and I have to spoil you anyways Im leaving and I will miss us doing this..,"

She is right as always but I felt bad for a moment I forgot she is leaving I guess I preferred being ignorant but as the time goes by I realized yep this is real.. We decided to get take away and we arrived home and freshned up, we ate and we talked more while eating and then fell asleep, mom had to be well rested before her flight...

This time I went to sleep in my bed I asked mom if I could take it and she was like no I couldn't because there was no need but I was so attached to it.. As I got in my room my eyes fell on a piece of paper

My exam schedule, how did this get here when all my stuff and books  are gone already, I sighed and went over to take a look at it and realized I have chemistry the following Tuesday.. Damn! I saw I dont have any books but luckily spotted my laptop and started checking my notes, well I know i still had two days to do it but I want to always be ahead with all my work and worse with exams I always study before the time because I freak out when it's the day before and the nervousness gets to me that's why.

Last night I went to bed so late it was actually in the morning hence my zombie mood today.. I feel like I have been walked over by a truck...

I took my shower quickly got dressed not really caring how I look like and went downstairs to the kitchen to make myself coffee when I noticed my  mother's suitcases in the lounge, my already horrible mood just worsened if thet is even possible.. I felt even more horrible, I walked over to the tv with my coffee, scrolling through the channels not even knowing what to watch.

I reached for my phone and saw messages from my friends and other people I don't even know, I replied to a few of them and went over to my Instagram account and the number of followers I had was just hard to believe, i scrolled a lot more and despite having coffee I still felt sleepy.

I was about to give in to sleep when I heard mom's footsteps..

"baby is that you?"

"yes mom over here" she made her way over to the lounge and gave me a hug...,

"have you eaten yet,? You look tired",

"Mom do you know how many people followed me on social media…? its  crazy, who would have thought," she gave me a careless shrug and just rwached for the remote
