Midnight Man

Mistakes

Amy's pov
Latter that day.

I splashed my face with cold tap water, I flung my head back up to look at myself in the mirror.

My eyes seemed to look better, but the rest of my face needed some work on.
-
I walked back into bathroom, I looked better.

Just cover up the real mess you are Amy.
Just cover it all up.

"Come on Amy, look at yourself. Your a confident independent young woman. You don't need John, you don't need anyone to prove that. Now go out there and act normal! Dad would of wanted this. John Lennon who?"
I said to myself, trying to hype myself up.

I walked out and swung my hand bag over my shoulder.
I paused at the front door.
"Take a deep breath."
"1..2..3.."
I walked out.
-
"Caroline?"
The woman turned around.
"Amy! Thought you weren't coming for a sec!"
She got up and hugged me.
"Yeah sorry about that, boy troubles..."
I took a seat at the table, taking a sip of some water.
"Spill!"

"Uh I'm trying to stop thinking about it."
She frowned and pouted.
"Ok fine.... So I met this guy... After tom of course. He really understood me. He listened to me. We both had our troubles. But I really like him. He uh- is from England, he was visiting Australia. But anyway I fell in love with him. I Know over like three weeks. But like I don't know. I just really really liked the lad. I found out he had a girlfriend over in England. So I sorta left him. and he's leaving tomorrow."
Caroline just listened.

"Amy! You need to go after him! You love him! You never find guys like that."
For some reason, I felt like that wouldn't be a bad idea.

But then I came back to the sad reality.
"Wish I could. But I can't. Anyway... What about you?"

We spoke for a while, it got late though.

"Thats hilarious Amy!"
Caroline laughed at my joke.

I checked my watch.
"Hey sorry I need to get back before my mum does. We should do this again!"
I got up and placed some money on the table.

Caroline handed it back to me.
"We definitely should! I'll pay don't you worry!"
I smiled and thanked her.
As I turned around Caroline said oneast thing.

"Amy loves a strong thing, woman don't find it to often. So think it over. Maybe you'll change your mind."
I nodded.

I walked off, I felt happy. I mean I haven't connected with a friend in a while.

It took my mind off John, but now all I can think is him.

I walked inside, greeted by Lucy.
"Oh hey luce."
She didn't reply, she fell to her knees.

I was taken aback.
I ran over to her.

She started balling her eyes out.
"Lucy?! What's wrong...."
She cried harder and harder.
I held her in my arms rocking her back and fourth.
"I-i-its mum... Shes dead!"
She cried harder.

"Wait what.... No -no  she can't be dead."
"She - she was hit by a car!"
I started breathing heavily.

"Amy, she's dead! Like dad! Our mum and dad are both dead! Fuck we're alone! Fuck!!"
Lucy was freaking out.

My breathing got heavier.
"Amy! What are we going to do?"
I got up and ran out the back.

I fell on my knees and screamed to the top of my lungs.

My throat hurt in the process.
"WHY ME???"
I Screamed once more harder then the last one.

I ran back inside and hugged Lucy.
"Listen to me Luce, we'll be fine. Mum's with dad now. I'm here and I promise I'm not leaving anytime soon."

"Promise."
"Promise."

We both lay on the wooden floor and cried.

I've never felt this most shit.

John's  gone, dad's gone, toms gone and now mum is.

I've  only got Lucy now.
