An Endless Wait.

chapter 18

  I heard laughter, a very familiar voice, laughing, and then I saw mom, MOM?! How?

We were on the beach, walking, the sun was shining I could hear the noise of the waves crashing against the shore, it was simply beautiful, Mom was still laughing, loudly now, too loudly, her laughter began to hurt my ears and my eyes opened to the purple ceiling of my room! I sat up, incoherent, I could still hear mom's laughter and then realisation hit, my phone was ringing. "Crap" it was the first word that came out of mouth as I frantically searched for my phone in my blankets. I had a different ringtone for my every caller; my mom's was her laughter, so that I could hear her laugh more often. I had recorded it the day before she and dad went to Australia, we had spent that day together on the beach. Sweet memories.

I received the call "he-hey Mom" I said trying to clear my mind. 

"NATALIE?! Where were you? I called u a million times! I just don't understand why can't you pick up your phone? You have no clue how much tension you put..." I could hear the panic in her voice.

"Mom mom" I cut her off "I was sleeping, I am sorry" 

"young woman, you were sleeping at one in the afternoon?"  I could hear the suspicion in her voice. 

"yea mom, it's a Sunday plus, I slept at 5 in the morning last night" I said, getting out of bed.

"You slept at 5? WH-what is happening Natalie? Oh my god, were you.....? Are you still....? Natalie I hope you are not up to anything wrong" she asked, stressing on the 'wrong' "if I find out..." she continued before I cut her off again "sheesh mom, keep your thoughts to yourself, it's not what you think, it's not even close, sheesh, I was just with Araiyna" I was disgusted with her thoughts.

"Yea, I just hope you're up to something good" she said

"yea mom" I rolled my eyes on the phone, even though she could not see me. 

"okay honey, I got to go, take care sweet pea, I miss you and I love you"

"I miss you too mom, and more, I'll always love you more" I said smiling at the  bathroom mirror.

I heard a light chuckle before she hung up on me.  I washed up quickly after that and went downstairs.

 I checked my phone, i had a text from Richard, Alice, Caroline and Jake. I opened Richard's. 

Him: Good morning, have a good day today fishy. *HUG*

It was at 10:15 am, i quickly typed a reply. 

Me: hey, sorry i was sleeping, dint sleep last night.

We always shared our music, kept suggesting songs to each other, secretly I always told him the songs whose lyrics were all I ever  wanted to say to him, but i dont think he ever noticed that.
