My Childhood Bestie-TBS - ON HOLD

Chapter 5 - America, No?

"America? Wow! OMG I so want to come!" He says.

He and you start jumping up and down like crazed kids, which is what we are. We both stop and stare at each other. At that moment I felt like I wanted to kiss him! But I fought it.

What is wrong with you! Your his best friend! I tell myself.

"When do leave?" He asks nervously.

"2 days," I reply just as nervous "Mum wouldn't mind your company."

"Are you going for the whole holidays?" He asks.

"Yeah, traveling the whole place." We have never seen America before.

"Well then...." he says.

The look on his face tells me one thing.. he can't come. My face drops to look at the ground. Hot tears start coming out. I feel a finger pulling my chin up. I look at his face, he's smiling.

OMG I can't believe I fell for that!

I hug him really tight and jump up and down. I had the biggest smile on my face! I finally release him because he tells me that he can't breathe.

"Wait 'till I tell mum!" We say at the same time.

We look at one another and burst out laughing. We wave still grinning from ear to ear, and run into our houses. I open the door, slam it closed, drop my bag by the door and head off into the living room.

"MUM!" I yell on the top of my voice.

I hear foot steps coming down the stairs but she's not running. I head down the corridor to the bottom of the stairs. Mum is half way down the stairs looking about as glum as ever. My smile disappears.

"Mum? What's wrong?" My voice full of worry.

"We...we...we..." She can't seem to grab words.

She had reached the bottom of the stairs. I reached out and took her arm dragging her to the dining room. I pull out a chair for her set her down and head to the kitchen. I start making her a cup of tea.

Milk and sugar...

A hand places it's self on my Shoulder. I stop and turn to see a smiling mum. I hand her the tea and she takes it gratefully smiling as she takes a sip. She places the cup down on the sink and frowns.

"Y/N... we... we can't go to America..." She says.

I look at her in shock "Why not?"

"We can't afford it." She says shrugging.

I hug her, she was obviously not expecting that. I look up at her.

"That's all right, we can spend the holidays here." I say giving her my biggest smile.

She smiled back at me "Now, what was it you wanted to tell me?"

I instantly stop smiling.

"What's wrong?" She says not smiling either.

I wince "I invited Thomas to America with us."

"Well your just going to have to tell him that the trip is off. These things happen."

"Can I go over there now?" I ask.

The smile returns to my mums face "Sure thing."

I kiss her on the cheek and say good bye heading out the door. I walk up the pathway. A couple paces away from my house I would end up at Thomas'. I walk up to their door and knock.
