one lie

Part 2

I woke up to a loud banging sound from my window , I got up and opened my curtains to find all my friends sitting on my balcony, why would they be here so early of a Saturday, a day they know I just want to be lazy and stay in bed 

"what are you guys doing here ?" I cover my eyes from the sun 

"we came to check up on you, Michael told us about your mom bringing a man home."Ash said, ash is sweet and very honest,  he loves any type of sport that requires running and he a has light tanned skin tone§

"I'm fine guys" I said in a sleepy voice, walking towards Michael who is sitting on my hanging chair

"are you sure, its 13:00 in the afternoon" jess said "and clearly you only woke up now"Trish added in, Trish and jess are my two besties, we've been inseparable since finding each other, they were there for me when my brother and father passed away, as well as the boys but they were the ones who kept me from falling off the rails, Jess had long brown hair that reached under her shoulders, she has a medium, white to olive skin tone and Trish has shoulder length curly hair and brown tanned skin, they are both super friendly but can be a bit harsh at times if necessary   

"seriously I'm fine and there is nothing wrong with sleeping in, its perfectly healthy" I think, it might affect my sleeping pattern but who cares 

"okay well you better get in, bath and we will make you breakfast, how does that sound" Michael says, Michael has always been Mr popular , well to every one except us, he is super handsome with his broad shoulders and short curly black hair and brown eyes that glisten in the sunlight 

"when he says we, he means he will make you breakfast while we watch" ben clarifies 

"alright, i'll see you downstairs"I say as I walk towards the bathroom

I spend about twenty minutes in the bathroom, after getting dress I was on my way to go downstairs to eat breakfast when I remembered I have to check on my mom, i turn around and walk straight to my mothers bedroom, she was sound asleep, I sit down beside her and watch her sleep while my index finger slowly and softly smooths her cheek, suddenly her eyes open and she stairs at me 

"sweetie"

"morning mom" I say while I kiss her cheek

"you know mommy loves you right" yeah of course I do ,why is she saying this

"yes of course mom, I love you too"I whisper 

"my sweet baby girl, I wish your dad and brother could have seen how strong and beautiful you are, I know you have missed out on a lot of father daughter things but his watching over you and so is your brother, I wish they were here, for your father and I to watch you and your brother bicker about the most stupidest things, I miss them" her voice cracks in the last part, tears falls from her eye, I pull her and hug her 

" I know, I miss them too mom but we can't get them back, one day we will see them again but not anytime soon, I know it hurts mom but you and I have to stay strong and be there for one another"

"mommy won't be here for long sweetie..."

"no don't say that mom..."

"but its true"

"no, we will be strong and fight this mom,"tears spill from my eyes and I can't seen to stop it from coming out 

"buttercup, someday I won't be here"

" I know that mom but that day isn't anytime soon okay so go shower, get dressed and I will be here with your breakfast okay?"

"okay baby."

I kiss her forehead and walk out her room, I wipe  my eyes so my friends don't suspect that I have been crying, I make my way downstairs and the clattering of plates indicate that they just got done making the food 

"hey do you guys make enough for my... I stare at the stack of  pancakes on the table, the eggs on the pan and the mountain of bacon "seems we have enough for everyone"

"yeah we decided to make for us to, we didn't eat this morning" jess said "and why's that?" I ask while dishing up food for my mom  " we came here as fast and early as we could to check up on you" ash said with a hint of tiredness in his voice but covered it up with a soft laugh

"ohh well okay, thanks I guess... I'm gonna take this up to my mom"

as I walk upstairs i try not to trip over the dirty laundry on the floor, I really have to clean this up, maybe my friends can help me before they leave 

" hey mom here's a little something to get you started" I sad whole placing the tray of food on her lap "shoot  I forgot to get you something to drink, ill be back in a second"

I quickly run downstairs only to hear my friends talk about their next prank, it has to be for me since i'm the only one excluded unless someone is joining our group and I was unaware of it, I ignore the things they say and get my mom a glass of orange juice, her favourite, I carefully run upstairs and give my mom her drink, I place her bell next to her incase she needs me for anything

I go downstairs, grab my food and head towards my friends, I almost forgot they were planning, there was no way they were gonna tell me so I had to asked them in the most subtle way possible, so I asked " do you guys have anything planned for the next week?"

they all looked at each other with wide eyes which gave it out pretty obviously, I looked at my food and started eating, I was pleased with the silent answer they didn't know they gave me 

"um no we are um..going to go out next week Friday?" Michael said more like a question

"we are?" I asked 

everyone gave a small nodded as if I couldn't see it, pssh pathetic liars " ye..yeah we are" 

"well okay sure, what do you guys want to do for the rest of he day?" 

we watched multiple movie, listened to some song as we cleaned the house, every one shortly went home after, its been a really long day and all I wanted was to be in complete darkness In my room and fall asleep
