Estella's Heart

TWO

Thanks for coming back and checking my story about I hope you enjoy!
—————————————————————

It was currently 6:37 in the morning, and Estella hadn't slept a wink last night, she was laying in bed balled up in her covers with her head scarf slightly coming off showing peeks of her curly black hair underneath. Her thoughts were filled with possibilities of the the new foreign kid that might just be Caspian. She highly doubts that he would come back after all these years. Mrs. Chronis Caspian's grandmother that lived down the street from them hadn't said anything about Caspian coming back home being that she had just spoke with her some time last week.

Mrs.Chronis had started to fall ill over the last couple of years, so Estella and her parents made sure to check on her and make sure that she is ok as often as possible, but the old woman was stubborn and refused much of any help unless absolutely necessary. She was a kind woman but very strong willed and head strong when it came down to herself and loved ones. She never talked much about Caspian to Estella, maybe feeling that it would be best to leave things to fate and not pry into situations too much.

Estella continued to lay in bed and think about the possibility of this whole foreign kid surly if it was Caspian he would have made himself known to her by now. Or he has entirely forgotten about her and left her in the past but she doesn't feel like that's something he would do. Her mind drifted off to numerous things like what he looked like now, had he changed his hair, how tall he might be, does he have a girlfriend? Is he happy?

She rolled over to look at the clock and seen that it was already almost seven only leaving her a limited amount of time to get ready for school. She slid out of bed and made her way to the bathroom to take her morning shower, in hopes that it will give her a more refreshed look for the day.

Estella didn't feel like putting much of an effort into her appearance today, being her current mental state. She often mentally drained herself over things that she shouldn't even put the slightest deepest thought into but somethings are inevitable, and that is one of them.

   By the time she reached down stairs her mom had already had her breakfast prepared and had it laid out on the table.

"Morning baby you alright? you don't look so good" Estella's mom Natasha asked as looked at her child with a concerned look. A mother knew her child and Natasha knew that something was bothering Estella, but she knew better than to force things out and just give time and reassurance. She knew that Estella would come around eventually being as these episodes was nothing new or unfamiliar. In life we have to find our own source of happiness, and live to our heart's content she knew it was just a matter of Estella finding hers, and loving herself in the process.

"Yeah mom I'm ok, did dad leave already?"

"Yeah he had to be to work early today something about a serious case needed to be closed today."

"Oh ok..."

"Hey, you can always talk to me ok, I'm your mother I'll always be here for you your secrets and deepest thoughts will always be safe with me. I love you" Natasha told her putting her hand over hers and giving her a kiss on her temple. "Now get going before you're late"

  Estella could only smile at her mother as she grabbed her things and headed out the door telling her mom she loved her on the way out.
