Only three days

Chapter twenty two

Damon's POV

Sitting there with her gave me the peace I never had, even though we weren't hand in hand I still appreciated being there with her. I lost my mom but gained her second. She couldn't replace the love my mom had for me but she was there helping me to move on and accept it.

I was so deep in my thought that I didn't hear her calling me. I was pulled back to reality when she shake me holding onto my shoulder.

"Damon snap out of it! I'm leaving our hour is up."

Sorry I was just thinking about a few things. Don't I get a goodbye hug or something babe?

"A hug yeah but you have to stand up to get the hug."

Of course I stood up and hugged her but that wasn't it at all. As she could to pull away I crashed my lips against her's as my hand reached for a grip of her ass cheek and the other hand caressed her face. She didn't even try to pull away, she kissed me back so passionately I thought that might be our last kiss. Nothing I would want but that's how good the kiss was.

She left and I was there alone, I was thinking of going to see my dad and talk things out like she suggested but I was really upset with him at the moment that I didn't want to do that right now.

I missed my mom, the thought of having her live here with me ran through my mind as I help the carpenters around the house. I had ask them to bring all her stuff from her room; I was thinking of having them around the place. I figured that would make me a bit closer to her.

The family portrait, her paintings, some of her clothes, all the things she loved and most importantly her car. Well the car wasn't here as yet but I had asked for them to be transported here. My mom had babe ever since she was twenty. Her dad gave it to her the day she was leaving for college. They weren't rich or anything but her dad loves sports cars; she had that car in the garage for years without driving it. She always told me that when I was leaving for college it would be mine. She spent a lot a money fixing it up; it was a old school so certain parts for it were really hard to find and it cost a lot to do anything to it. She loved that car so much that she didn't allow anyone to even touch it. Not a scratch was on it. I would definitely take care of that car as much as she did.

I had the portraits of her hanged in my room and the living room but the family portraits were hanged all over the house. I had all her clothes and painting placed in a empty room to their selves and only I had a key to that room, I didn't want anyone going in there whenever I throw a party or anything. That room was my forbidden room and the most important room in this house. My mom was a really good painter but she never thought of selling her paintings. She only gave some away to family member and friends as gifts.

I stood there staring at the painting lost in thought when I remember her painting the forest portrait.

Shanelle's POV

When I got home I thought of calling him to tell him I was home but I didn't want to be much of a clingy girlfriend so I just left him a message.

About fifteen minutes later my mom got home and Shana decided she was going home now because her parents haven't seen her since Friday. She hugged us and went on her way.

I have to say I feel a bit left out, I'm not being selfish or anything but ever since I can remember she has always stayed over the night before my birthday so she could be the first the tell me happy birthday and give me my birthday gift. I don't understand why things have changed this year. Yes she had to go home to her parents I definitely understand that part but I was really really feeling bad that our tradition was about to change.
Anyways she has never disappointed in making me happy on my birthdays so I'm not going to make a big deal or overthink it this time.

My mom on the other hand was making dinner. She came home and she didn't even acknowledge me or anything. Not even to say hey how are you or anything. Not that she usually does but I thought that after our talk the other night she would start doing that. At least she was trying; that's what I really appreciated and wanted to see her doing.

Hey mom want any help?

"No love that's okay, I'm fine you can use your time to do something else. I won't be doing much this time so I won't need any help", she mumbled without even taking her eyes off what she was doing to glance at me.

This felt a little weird because my mom has never said no to help before. Even before our talk, whenever I offered to help her when she's doing something she never said no.

I took my stuff up from the couch and walked up to my room. I checked my phone see if I had received any messages but I didn't. I tried calling Shana but I didn't get any answer, instead it went straight to voice mail. I didn't take it for anything I just thought I was over thinking the situation so I started scrolling through Instagram. That's when I realized what Shana just added to her story. It felt a bit weird I just called her and she didn't reply. I tap on the story and there was a boomerang video with her and chase.

It couldn't be that she ditched me for her new boyfriend on the night before my birthday.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me: Really Shana! You could have just told the truth that you wanted to go out with your boyfriend. You could have at least answered the phone when I called. I wouldn't have felt anyway about it. The truth wouldn't cause me to feel the way the lie did. You told me you were going home and you knew you were only going to see your boyfriend 🤦🏻. I would never lie to you!!🧏🏻‍♀️ but I guess we aren't the same persons anymore.

She even went as far as to read the message and not reply. This is unbelievable Shana would never be this way towards me. Something must be up with her right now.

A few minutes past and she still didn't reply to my message. I stared at the phone waiting for a reply but was frightened by a knock coming from my door.

"Hey sweetie dinner is finished, I even brought it up for thought that you would be tired", my mom uttered from the other side of the door.

It's open you may come in mom.

She pushed the door open and placed the tray on the nearby table.

"I'll be down stares if you want anything just call me okay", before I could reply she walked and shut the door close.

It just feels as if everybody is pushing me aside. First Damon won't be seeing me on my birthday, then my mom refused my help and now Shana is ignoring me. Could my day get any worst.

I got up from my bed and walked towards the tray. My mom made chicken Alfredo and what looks like pineapple juice.

After having my dinner I took a shower and decided to go take a nap. I didn't have anything else to do and nobody to talk to so why not. I then set my alarm at 10:30pm check my messages and realized that I still didn't get any reply from anyone.
