Part 32

Happy Birthday To Cheryl Cole! ❤️

Julie's POV

"Baby you want to eat?" Mam asked I have been in my room laying on my bed starring at the wall laying on my side with my hands tucked under my head. I didn't change, still wearing the same clothes. The sun was up much higher letting me know that it was late afternoon. I must have been in bed for hours

"Not hungry" I replied bluntly

"Pet you have to eat something!" mam insisted

"I'm not hungry" I said emotionless, still looking at the wall. I heard her sigh and walk out of my room shutting the door softly. I began to whimper crying quietly I closed my eyes trying to control my tears.

It was a day before my birthday my foster parents Amanda and Jacob wanted to treat me to some family time.

"Come on you! get dressed we're celebrating tonight" dad said clapping his hands together

"Where we going?" I asked excitedly. At 12 years old anything would hype you up

"It's a surprise, come on up you get! Amanda get her dressed in her most beautiful dress" dad said patting my backside to get me upstairs faster making me laugh. I went up with my mum she got me dressed and we retreated to the front room

"My girl looks beautiful" he said taking me in his arms

"Your first present m'lady now I know your birthday isn't until tomorrow but I couldn't wait" he bowed pulling out a little box handing it to me I tore it open revealing a little gold heart locket neckless

"Open it up" he said helping me open the locket revealing two photos one with me and mum and on the other side one with me and dad

"It's beautiful" I whispered hugging him

"Thank you!" I said smiling as he put it on for me

"Come on let's get going!" we made our way out to the car

"Make sure to put your seatbelt on!" he instructed me before pulling out onto the main road. I did as I was told and the ride was filled with musical tunes and laughs. They say everything happens for a reason. But what was this reason? what was the reason for what was about to come crashing into my life.

"Watch out Jay!!!!" Mum screamed as a semi truck came crashing into us. Crashing into my world.

I woke up screaming. Cheryl and Kim came running in holding me as I cried into their arms. Saying soothing words to me. No matter what they say.. Nothing could bring them back

"Hey you're okay... shhh everything is going to be okay" mum said. I closed my eyes falling asleep once again hiccuping myself into a peaceful lullaby

Julie's POV

I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. Someone must have changed me out of my clothes. I'm wearing a pair of shorts and a vest top.. I looked over to the side table digital clock it read 1:25am. I got out of bed gently pulling the duvet over my body, slowly creeping out of my bedroom down to the front room. The house was dark except a few lights turned on in the corridor. I sat myself down on the sofa not really knowing why I decided to come down, I just sat there staring into space like a mad woman. Maybe visiting my foster parents yesterday wasn't such a good idea, it opened up old wounds that I thought were healed. I sat up off the sofa taking the duvet with me and headed out into the back garden sitting myself down on the sun lounger staring off into the night sky.

"Can you guys hear me?" my voice cracked as I spoke

"I wish it was me" I said tearfully closing my eyes once again and letting out a shaky sigh.. I could feel myself falling asleep

Cheryl's POV

I walked into Julie's room the next morning finding it empty. Me heart rate went flying high as I checked the ensuite and not finding her there as well. I ran out of her room

"Kimba!!!!" I screamed out running down to the kitchen. Kimba came out looking terrified

"Baby she's not in her room" I cried

"What do you mean she's not in her room?!" she said hysterically

"She's not in her room" I said again maybe she didn't get it

"Okay let's check the house" Kim and I went running around the house calling Julie's name out and not finding her anywhere. I sat down on the sofa and cried into me hands

"Baby I found her" Kim said crying out in relief. I shot up from me seat and followed Kimberley's voice seeing her stood by the garden door

"She's outside on the sun lounger" she said opening up the door and stepping out. I followed her close behind finding Julie covered in a duvet sleeping

Julie's POV

"Jules" I was shook out of my sleep. I quickly covered up my eyes as the harsh sun blinded me.

"Babe how did you end up out here?" Mum questioned. I didn't reply not having the energy to speak.. I sat up slowly

"Come on let's get you inside" mam said taking my hand and walking me back in with her hand around my waist sitting me down on the sofa

"What's going on?" Mum asked sitting beside me. I laid my head on the opposite side of her laying on a cushion, blinking into space.

"Baby you have to talk to us" mam pleaded

"I-I can't" my voice cracked as I spoke for the first time

"Why not?" mam said coming over and kneeling in front of me making me look straight into her eyes

"Because it makes it real" I said with tear in my eyes

"You won't feel better unless you speak about it honey" mum said stroking my hair. I blinked a fee times letting my tears escape before speaking

"It was the day before my birthday..." I went on to tell them what had happened that day, from the present dad gave me, to how my other foster parents snatched the neckless from me and sold it to get money off of it. And eventually I went on to tell them about the unexpected crash. I didn't cry I was just numb. And I was done crying I didn't have anymore tears left in me. It was silent after I finished speaking. I didn't expect them to say anything, because nothing they said or did would bring them back.

"I still love you guys tho" I reassured them. My bottom chin trembling at my words and they both held me tight. I guess I still had more tears in me because I began to cry, I began to feel weak suddenly.

"We love you too babe. Listen time heals all wounds, just give it time. They're in a wonderful place, I wish I had the opportunity to thank them for raising such a wonderful girl. I don't deserve you.. I wish I could do something to make it all better" mam cried and I pulled her closer to me

"You're doing just fine" I whispered

"Both of you are" I said giving Kim a weak smile
