Make It Simple (O2l fanfic)

chapter 47

It's crazy how we would have never expected last year's first day of school to be the last one with mom. Things change so fast, but I know this is a special moment in heaven for mom as well as I on Earth.

It's going to take some time for me to get used to waking up at seven in the morning every week day. I pulled myself out of bed and walked downstairs to brew a pot of coffee before heading back upstairs to my bathroom.

I stripped down before stepping in the boiling water. I cleaned all parts of my body before stepping out and drying off. I wrapped my body with a towel while I combed my hair out and left it to air-dry as I padded into my room to slip on a bra and underwear before a striped crop top with soft, black shorts.

I went back into the bathroom and applied concealer and mascara before checking the time to see it was seven thirty; time for Liv to wake up.

I slipped on a pair of socks before walking across the hall to her room and gently waking her up before leaving her to shower as I went downstairs to make her breakfast.

I was feeling healthy this morning, causing me to pull out the blender and throw some strawberries, raspberries, and cherries with apple juice before blending it up. I poured it into a cup for her while I poured myself coffee and moved on to making oatmeal.

I made enough for the two of us and drained my first cup of coffee while moving on to the next one. After a few minutes, I heard footsteps on the stairs and saw Liv walk up to the table.

She looked so old with her wavy, brown hair; just like mine. She was wearing a pair of soft, white shorts and a black tank top which made her look like a mini-me. I felt my heart heat up and I set down our breakfast.

"Good morning." I took a bite of my food and looked up at her. "Are you excited for school?" She shrugged. "A little. I'm nervous." I laughed, "You'll do fine. Mom will be watching over you the whole day." There was a pause of silence before she spoke.

"You know if she was here, she'd be proud of you." I nodded my head. "We'll get through this together," I placed my hand on top of hers and smiled.

"What are you going to do during the day? See Sam?" I laughed at her attempt to tease me. "Maybe. I've been thinking about getting a job along with Youtube." She raised her eyebrow at my statement and I stood up, clearing away the table and walking over to the coffee pot to get my phone.

"Okay, picture time." I positioned my sister in front of the door with her backpack on. I took a few picture before calling her over. "Selfie time." We took a few before I noticed it was already eight thirty. "We need to get going!"

I ran upstairs and slid on my white Converse before grabbing my purse and heading out the door with Liv trailing behind me. I started the car and drove ten minutes before arriving to the school. "I want to walk you in." She laughed nervously, "Good. I want you to." I parked in a parking spot before pulling the key out of the ignition.

We walked into the building and I grabbed a visitors pass as I walked beside my sister. Since this was a elementry school which lead into a middle school, I received a few awed looks but today was Liv's day. I wasn't going to direct my attention away from her.

We arrived to room 103 and stopped outside of the door. "Are you okay for me to leave? I don't want to walk you in like pre-school unless you want me to." She shook her head, "I'm fine. Thanks." I kissed her forehead. "Have a good day. I'll be parked to pick you up where I parked this morning."

She nodded her head and began to walk away before I remembered I didn't make her a lunch. "Wait! Liv, I forgot to make you a lunch." I pulled a five dollar bill out of my purse. "I won't forget tomorrow. Love you."
