Iris, Matthew sturniolo

ᴍᴇᴇᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴀᴛ ᴏᴜʀ ꜱᴘᴏᴛ

I woke up the next morning to see Matt slipping on a shirt

"Morning" I said lazily "sorry did I wake you up" he said turning to me

"No your fine" I said sitting up

"Where are you going anyway" I said changing the subject

"Nick and Chris said they needed me home ASAP for something" he said shrugging and walking over to me

"I'll see you later then matty" I said standing up

"Yea of course Mae" he said hugging me

"I'll walk you to the door" I said pulling away

He nodded and we made our way downstairs to see my aunt in the kitchen cooking

"Morning guys brunch should be ready soon" she said flipping something

"I would love to stay ms. Jones but my brothers need me home ASAP" Matt said apologizing to her

"Don't worry about it honey I'm sure I'll be seeing you again sometime soon" she said giving him a warm smile

"Bye ms.jones thank you again for letting me stay" he said before placing a kiss on the top of my head

"Bye Mae" he said before quickly exiting through the front door

"Wait I thought Mae was strictly your dads nickname for you" my aunt said freezing

"I told him about dad.. he makes me feel safe.. like dad used to" I whispered as I walked to the island and sat at a barstool

"Well I like the kid" she said smiling at me

She turned back to the stove before sighing

"Well I'm glad he couldn't stay because I just burnt the food" she said picking up the now smoking.. I actually didn't know what it was..

She let out a sigh of defeat before throwing the.. thing? away

"Postmates?"

"Sure"

We ate and watched a few Disney movies before I got up to shower

"Thanks for today" I said turning back to face her

She gave me a warm smile and nodded before answering her ringing phone

I got in the shower and listened to music from my speaker that was connected to my phone

My phone started going off but I just ignored it, I really didn't care who it was.

Big mistake

I got dressed, did my skin and hair routine before grabbing my phone

I unlocked it to see texts from a random number

(xxx)- xxx- xxxx

This is your mother I want you to come back
and live with me.

If I need to I will take legal action, you took
away my happiness now I'm taking yours

Be ready mauve.

I dropped my phone out of pure shock and fear.

Your probably thinking. Why would they even give me back to her? She's my mother and she's VERY good at getting what she wants and being persuasive.

I could feel the tears pouring out of my eyes

Right when I was the happiest I have ever been it could all be taken away at any given moment.
