Are We Friends?

Chapter 29

"Mimi get down here now, I need to talk to you!" I heard my mum yell from somewhere down the hallway.

I groaned but obeyed my mother. I threw my phone on my bed as I walked out to the the dining room where my mum was sitting at the table. I sat down on the seat next to her waiting for her to continue.

"So." She started. " Great news ... We're moving to New York!"

My eyes widen and I jump up.

"No." I say.

"No what honey? What's wrong? What aren't you telling me?"

"No mum I'm not leaving. I'll run away if that's what's it going to take but I'm not moving. I'm staying."

"What? Why sweetie?"

"Mum my whole life is here. Yeah some pretty bad stuff has happened and I have bad memories from here but I'm not leaving. Plus New York is on the other side of the world."

"Mimi sometimes changes are for the best." My mum says placing her hands on my arms.

"No mum." I say pulling away from her grasp. She looks hurt but I look away not wanting to see it.

"What are you not telling me Mimi?" She asks sternly.

"Mum ... I'm finally remembering stuff. Every time I look into Josh's face I see something new. Every time I spot an orange car I see something new. Please mum. I need to say." I'm on the verge of tears but I keep them in trying to not show my weakness.

My mum just stares at me. Not even moving. She looks like she's frozen in time. Processing what I just said. I use that to my advantage and leave. Heading to my room. Where I can think. I flop face down on my bed and start to cry. Just little whimpers. It's true though. I see new things when I look into Josh's eyes, or when I see an orange car. Just then my phone decides to go off. I grab it and check the message.

Outside now important things The message read from Dylan.

I put my phone down then went by my door. I walked down the hallway and checked to make sure there was no sign of my mum. There wasn't. I sighed in relief then slipped through to the front door. I quietly opened it not wanting to startle anyone. I successfully got it opened and I slipped outside. Dylan was waiting on the lawn.

"Hey." I said making my way over to him.

"Hey." He replied shoving his hands in his pockets.

"So, what did you need to see me for? What's this important stuff?"

"Mimi I have to have surgery again."

"What? Why?" I whisper shout.

"The cancer had spread further then they thought. I have to have more skin removed. About fifteen centimetres."

A small quick "Oh" is all I manage to get out. I feel my eyes filling up with tears as I try to battle them down. He's fine, he's not going to die just have more skin removed, he's fine. I repeat over and over in my head telling myself that Dylan won't die. It's the truth isn't it? He's not going to die. He wraps his arms around me pulling me close and placing his chin on top of my head.

"I'll be fine." He whispered.

Bronte's P.O.V

I bolted out of class as the last bell rang and went to the lights. First one there. I pressed the button once, then twice, then a third time. I just sat there pressing the button hoping for it to make the lights go faster. After what felt like forever they finally went off and I crossed the road. After about half 'n' hour the bus finally arrived. I hopped on and went to my usual seat at the back of the bus.

"Move over." Catlin said getting on and coming up to the back.

I nodded my head and moved over next to the window. When the bus started moving again I realised that Josh hadn't gotten on the bus. I started to panic, mum would kill me if Josh wasn't home when I was or if I managed to slip past her she would kill Josh. I pulled out my phone and texted him.

Where r u??? I typed.

What does it matter to u? He typed back.

Cause mum is either gonna flip at u or me I replied getting slightly annoyed. He knew why but yet he still asked.

Yeah but I don't where the hell r u Josh

Calm down

No u r to leave right now

I would but ur not the boss of me so bye sis oh n by the way mum already knows so I think ur pretty safe I should be the worried one here

I huffed clearly fusstrated. Oh were those bratz going to pay. I powered my phone down and joined in on the conversation my friends we having. The bus stopped at one more school then my stop, I waved to my friends while getting off the bus then waited for them to leave. I started my hike up the hill, then back down on the other side. Once I reached my house I took out my keys and opened the front door. I tried to sneak past my mother but she caught me.

"Where's your brother?" She asked.

"He said you knew where he was." I replied.

"Yeah well obvisly I don't! Now where is he!?" She screeched throwing her empty beer bottle at me.

I threw my hands up protecting my face and it smashed. That's when I realised I had my phone in my hand. I dropped my phone shocked. My hands all bloody and cut. Yeah sure it's happened before but she's always been to drunk and missing me by a long shot.

"He's out with friends!" I scream before running to my room.

I burst into my bathroom and rush over to the sink. I turn on the cold water and shove my hands under it. I groan in pain as the water hits my skin stinging it. After most of the blood is gone I go to the medical cupboard in my bathroom. I pull out the bandages then go into my room and pick out a handsanitiser and handcream. I rub the handsanitiser into my skin groaning as it runs over my cuts then I rub the handcream into my hands as well. I grab the bandges and wrap my hands in them. Once they were wrapped I stick the ends in place with those little sharp silver things. I look at my hands then grab my phone and power it back on.

Don't come home mum gone crazy she acctully hit my when she through beer bottle stay at friends i'll bring ur clothes over I type to Josh. People may think I'm evil and mean or something but I always make sure my brothers safe.
