Ghosts Aren't Real. sapnap

18. "Call me mom"

TW// DEATH, if you are uncomfy with it you may skip these few chapters and I will give a summary once it's over :-)

The air was cold as I woke up. Nick’s arm was around me and we were laying on the couch. The sun was shining bright as my mood was shit. My dad died and my family didn't tell me. “Good morning.” I say as Nick stirred awake. He smiled.

“Good morning.” My face was still a little sore from crying so much last night. I got up and turned the TV on to watch something to keep my mind off of what happened. ‘F.r.i.e.n.d.s’ was on so I decided to watch that. After a few episodes Nick walked into the living room. “Get dressed. We’re gonna go see my mom.” He said. I shut the TV off and got dressed. I wore a white cropped hoodie with shorts and fishnets under them with a pair of my Docs. “I'm ready!” I say walking out of the bathroom. He grabs my hand and we walk out to his car.

“It's a bit longer of a drive so be prepared for it.” He says turning on music. I stare out the window trying to collect myself. Then this one song came on. Eenie Meenie. I looked over at him, I always said that this song made me feel better. I start singing the lyrics quietly. Getting louder as the song goes on.

“So give me the niiiiiggghhtt”
“So show you”
“Hold you” We both sang together “Don't leave me out here dancing alooonee”
“You can't make up your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind”
“Please don't waste my time, time, time, time, time”

The song continues on as we drive down the backroads of Texas. I smile, he makes me really happy. When the song finally finishes I look over at Nick while his eyes are focused on the road.
“You always know how to make me feel better.” I joked. Although we were finally
together there's still so much that we don't know about each other. Like how he doesn't know about my family. How he doesn't know that my dad died and my family didn't tell me. I tried to smile over what I thought and I looked out the window. Nicks hand laid on my thigh as we drove.

20 minutes passed by, soon 30. Then an hour later we finally reached his mothers house. I suddenly feel butterflies in my stomach as we walked closer to the door.
“It's ok, don't be nervous.” He says squeezing my hand three times. I smile as we walked through the door.
“Nicholas! It's nice to finally see you again!” His mother said greeting us at the door. “I see you brought a friend?” She questioned. Nick laughs a little.
“Sure, This is Alex! I met her through Twitch and we’ve pretty close.” He said. I shake his mom's hand.

“Yep, I’m friends with the whole group, Cl- Dream, George, Bad, Tommy, all of them.” I am trying to keep my calm.

“It’s nice to meet you.” I look over at Nick and he laughs. We all walk to the living room. Nick and his mom caught up on important things like school, streaming. All that, I respect that he doesn't want to tell his mom about us yet. I mean we just got together so he can take his time.

“So Alex… do you stream as well?” His mom asked. I shook my head.
“Yup, that's why we get along so well.” I say, “I started streaming about 2 years ago and from then it felt like the right thing to do.” She smiles at me.
“Nicholas you sure do know how to pick the girls out.” She jokes. I laugh along while Nick is embarrassed. “It’s a joke dear. Now Alex why don’t you help me in the kitchen? We can get to know each other.” She asks standing up. I join her in the kitchen and we make tea and cookies.

“I hate to say this but you are just so different than other girls he has liked.” His mom started. “I mean you have such a wonderful aura and obviously you don't take others for granted.” She says.

“Why thank you but he doesn't like me, w-we’re just friends.” I say trying to move along the conversation.

“Why that's a lie. I know Nicholas like the back of my hand, although he could have
changed in the past 6 months but he’s not a big one for change. I say if you like him too… go for it.” She said, I chuckle a little.

“Well that I may do.” I pull out the cookies from the oven, baked perfectly.
“So other than streaming… where are you from? Tell me something about you that Nick doesn't know.” I hesitate for a moment… Do I tell her? Surly I can't.

“Well I’m from Nebraska… I moved there at 17 when my parents didn't support me
streaming. Well actually my dad did. He knew I could make something out of it. But that didn't matter. Mother says anything and he goes along with it. So I’ve lived there for a while.” I said. She looked at me like I did something wrong.

“She wasn’t meant to be a mother if she can't support her children through anything!” I give her a sad smile.

“She gets worse I promise… anyway flash forward 2 years and now I’m hanging out with good ol’ Nick and we decided to go ghost hunting… I don’t believe in ghosts so I thought it would be fun. So we played with a ouija board… we got in contact with a spirit that has the same name as my father… When he said his biggest accomplishment was being a father we asked what his child's name was. Turns out I was the child.” I start to tear up. “My dad died of cancer in February and my family didn't tell me.” Tears now flowing down my cheeks his mom gave me a hug.

“That is so fucked up. You are welcome here anytime. I really like you and after hearing that… boy you really went through so much to get where you are.” She said comforting me. I let go of the hug and wipe my face.

“Thank your Mrs-”

“Please dear… call me mom. I can tell we will be very close.” She smiled at me giving me another hug. We walked out and brought the cookies and tea with. We all sat down and had a good time. Laughing and making memories. Nick was unaware of the conversation that happened in the room next to him.

“Bye mom!” Me and Nick say in unison. He looks over at me in confusion. I just laugh and continue walking.

“What happened in the kitchen that you started calling MY mom, ‘mom’?” Nick asked in utter disbelief.

“Oh I just told her why I moved to Nebraska… nothing real big. But when I went to call her Mrs. Armstrong she insisted that I called her Mom because she likes me that much.” I explain. He smiles.

“At least my mom likes my girlfriend.” He says, I roll my eyes and we start the drive back home.
