This Is It!

Am coming back

I was too excited to go back that I didn't think about my Mom. How would she react? The last time I felt horrible leaving her. She would not stop crying, she actually drove me to tears.

As I was lost in my thoughts, I felt Jem's fist on my shoulder.

"Aaww! What was that for?"

"Bringing you back. Where were you?"

"Mom," I said helplessly. "She is gonna go crazy."

"Cheer up man." He said. I smiled at him. "I'll go and get us café latte."

He walked away as I looked at him. We had just arrived at Ariana's office. She and Amanda have been inside. I was really getting impatient just sitting there and waiting. Jem, being the great buddy he is, said he would be coming with me since he wanted to help. Ariana agreed since she said she needed a person who knows more than just simple first Aid tactics. We came today so that we can sign the final papers. Out great journey will take place tomorrow night and I have still not told Mom about. I stood up and like always, wanted to budge into Ariana's office. I heard her voice and something inside of me told me to eavesdrop.

"This is crazy." It was Amanda's voice.

"Please Amy shut up."

"You'll get hurt again."

"I want to take this risk." Her voice was not bossy anymore, in fact she sounded humble.

"He's never gonna love you back. He hurt you once he'll hurt you again."

"How hard can it be to make him fall in love again?"

Amanda chuckles.

"We are talking about Haytham. Not some other crazy Brit boy."

"Haytham, are you eavesdropping?" I almost drop dead. I quickly put my finger on Jem's lips. He also kept quite.

"I love him and I'll get him no matter what."

We heard footsteps and before we could actually back away from the door Amanda opened the door. We almost fell down. We thank God Ariana didn't see us and Amanda pretended like she didn't.

"Why do you do this to me?" Mom was already crying. Jem made her hot coco.

"Mother please don't make this harder than it is." I said as I wiped tears from her cheeks. "Please mother."

"Auntie, he won't do anything foolish I'll be there to stop him." Jem said as he struggled to hold back his years. I wonder what his heart's made off? Or what mine is made of.

"Mummy," I called and for a moment I felt like a ten year old. "Please."

"I love you Mummy. But I have grown up and I want to do this. Don't be selfish, let me live my life for once." I felt sassy saying that but it was worth it. Mom agreed and I was happy about it. 

Jem cried when Mom drove us to the airport. I admit, I cried too. I couldn't help it. She is so sweet, too sweet. I would never want to lose her and she knows it.

"Hold on Aaliya. Am coming back." I mumbled under my breath as I waved good bye to my mom.

"What did you say?" Jem asked.

"Nothing."
