My Hero

Chapter 2

It's 4:00 am and I still can't get to sleep. most nights are like that now worrying about my Mum if she will be ok, if one day I will just wake up and she will be gone forever. I hate this cruel game the world plays on you! Every thing can be fine then one day you wake up and your whole life has changed over night. I decide to get out of bed and watch some tv.  So I head to the lounge and grab a blanket and lye down the our sofa I go into Netflix and I decide to watch Friends .I watch a couple of Episodes I start feeling sleepy so I decide to turn the tv off and sleep on the couch

I wake up panicking hoping that I wasn't running late I found the clock on the wall above the TV, I was relived when it said only 7:00am, school for me starts at 8am so I had a little bit to get ready it takes me about 20mins to walk to school which is a bonus but I still have to get ready, but it doesn't take me that long to get ready so I hop in the shower and get changed I look at the time and it's 7:35 perfect I will have plenty of time to get ready. So I grab my stuff and I'm out the door.

I arrive at school and quickly make it to
My class hopefully without anyone noticing so I put my hoodie up and look down as i always do.

***

After school I head to the hospital to go and check on Mum as usual I head straight to her room I am so shocked to see Luke there sitting by my Mum. I open the door and stare at Luke with pure anger

"Sweetie, it was so nice you got Luke to come and see me" I fake a smile and nod along with her. I look at Luke

" umm Luke can I please talk to you alone" my Mum looks at me questionably

"Sure"

We exit the room and I shut the door behind us

"What the Hell do you think you are doing?"I say very angrily

"Visiting a sick friend" he says like there's no problem at all.

"I told you to stay away from me"

"You know Lucy not everything has got to do with you! I genuinely wanted to she how Sarah was doing."

"Just stay away from me and my Mum." I just about to walk away when.....

"How come you didn't tell her?"

"Tell her what?" I say gritting my teeth

"That we broke up, ya know I think that means that you still have feelings me. It's ok Lucy cause I do too! Can you just forgive me please?"my heart does go out to him but I have to mask it Plus he's the one that left when I needed him, he should have been there with me but he wasn't and I could never forgive him for that

" Okay first of I didn't tell Mum because she has enough to worry about and secondly I would rather go out with a spider then ever forgive you and you know how much I hate those things....you hurt me Luke, everything was caving around the least you could have done was stay but you didn't and I don't think I could ever forgive you for that." With that my eyes start tearing up and I backed away from him. "Please, just leaves us alone" I say begging him. He opens his mouth to say something but then closes it.
He nods then walks past me heading towards the exit. I take a deep breath and wipe the tears that have now made there way down my checks. I open the door to my mothers room only to find she has gone to sleep. So I walk up to her and kiss her forehead and leave quietly so she doesn't wake up. I leave in a hurry and make my way to my house. I unlock my house and run straight to my bed so exhausted from the day and fall asleep within 2 seconds of hitting the pillow

****

I wake up hearing that annoying sound again called my alarm clock .  I hit it so hard I think I might have broken it...oh well. Why is it going off on a Saturday morning?? I am just about to head back to sleep when I realise....I have work! My eyes open and I jump out of bed and go take my morning shower and head to work

I work at the cafe down the road I had to start working cause when my mum got really sick she of corse couldn't work anymore so we still had to pay the bills so I had to get a weekend job, it's only about 10mins away which is awesome but I like sleeping in as much as possible so I set my alarm to the latest time possible so that's why I'm always in such a hurry

***

I head into work and am greeted by my closest friend Mandy. Ever since Mum got sick I haven't really had time to make friends and the friends I did have slowly went away they were there for me at the start but then we just ended up never hanging out and drifted away.

"It's been a pretty slow day today so we can take it easy. Oh by the way i brought book you wanted to read after I did" it's the  Eragon series I have been wanting to read them for ages

"Oh thanks been looking for a good book lately"

"It's such a good book I couldn't stop reading it, you'll really love it"

"I'm sure I will, thanks"  I grab the book and a Cookie and sit on the chair by the counter reading the book

Man the book is so interesting in the book Im turning page after page after page........

"Excuse me" I jump a little getting a little fright. I look up only to find Nick the school quarterback standing there, so I put my book down

"Sorry about that the book was so interesting"

"Yeah that book is aye I have read all four books."

"Really??" I sound surprised I didn't think he would be that much into reading books

"Yeah reading is my second hobby, anyway can I please get a coffee and a muffin?"

"Oh yes of course sorry, what type of muffin would you like?

"Umm blubbery please"

"Yes of corse will that be all today?"

"Yes thank you! Hey you look familiar do I know you from somewhere" I instantly think of when he helped me out when Luke was in my face

"No I don't think so" I know what your thinking why lie about knowing him I mean you go to the Same school why would you lie about that? Well my friends, I like being the invisible girl and I want it to stay that way until I leave.

I pour out his Coffee in a to go cup and pass it to him.

"Thanks, I will see you around" I smile in acknowledgment.

"How was he?" Mandy asked coming from her break in the back room.

"Just some popular kid from school"

"He seemed nice enough" she said in a romantic weird tone. I look up at her and she gives me a wink then walks off

What was that suppose to mean??
