i walked outside in the warm air and smiled when i saw luke sitting on the bonnet of his car.
"hey babe" he greeted me as i walked up to him.i kissed him lightly on the lips and jumped in the car.
we drove to school, having small talk on the way. we eventually got there and i stepped out, looking around for my friends. i found sammy sitting in the corner with a guy from our class. "SAMMY" i screamed out and she stepped back startled. a giant grin spread on her face and she ran up to me
"How is my sexy friend of a bitch" she said hugging me and i laughed at her
"and how is my sexy friend of a slut" i said raising an eyebrow at her.
"Danny, i think we might have something" she looked at me seriously
"yup. you keep telling yourself that" i said walking to my locker.
i grabbed my books and looked at my schedual. uhhh i have the worst subjects today. we walked to class together and stepped on the tables. we started singing Call me maybe and dancing, jumping from table to table, using our hands as phones. everyone was laughing at us from below.
"LADIES" we stopped and turned around and saw Miss Newburt standing at her desk with an angry expression on her face "is that how we behave in class?" she asked raising her eyebrows at us and we started giggling t how weird her eyebrows looked when she did that. "DETENTION" she screamed at us
we walked to our desks still laughing "want to make it a whole week of detentions then?" she asked and we shook our heads
"Well then. i suggest you be quiet" the rest of the lesson passed like a blur. Luke drove me home that day since i didnt have work. we got to my house and i saw a car parked in the driveway. ive never seen it before and i was getting curious by the second. i think Luke saw how confused i was.
"Whos car is that?" he asked
"I-im not sure" i stuttered "Ill talk to you later" i said opening the car door.
"Okay well if you need anything just give me a call" he said and i nodded "I love you" he said and i smiled blowing him a kiss as i saw him drive away. i turned towards my house and walked up the steps. i opened the door and walked inside. i heard talking in the living room. i got nerveous by the second as i walked closer. i knew that voice.
"Dannielle honey. are you home?" my mother asked
i walked into the opening and saw a dark figure sitting on the couch, his backs turned to me "yeah mum" i said walking towards her
the man turned to me and my heart stopped "Dad" i breathed. he smiled
"Hi sweety. how've you been?" he asked getting up
"Um good. what are you doing here?" i asked
"Well your mother and i have something to tell you" he said looking nervous. i looked at my mother and she looked down
"Lilian do you want to say it?" he asked and she looked up at me and nodded "Sweety. well you know about my cancer and all that.and how i dont have long to live..." i nodded getting extremely nervous
"well i dont want to put this stress and heavy weight on you so..." she took a deep breath "your moving with your father" i stayed silent as the words sunk in
"What" i chocked out
"I-im sorry honey. i dont want you to witness me dying. A-and, i dont want to see you get hurt. so your moving in with your father"
"B-but i want to stay with you" i said my eyes tearing up
"Dannielle-"
"NO. Im not leaving. im staying with you mum. i dont care what you ay. im staying here" and with that i ran upstairs locking myself in my room
i didnt want to just leave my mother. i wanted to stay with her, in the last couple of months she has left. that night i cried myself to sleep. i couldnt think of this any longer.
