My first fanfic please be nice :) A quick scene between Naomi and Gina two weeks after the loveball
"Naomi?"
Crap, I thought I could get out the door without her noticing but as always Gina Campbell only notices me when I don't want her to. No that's unfair since she kicked out all those randoms she has been a much better mum but still no teenager likes their mum all the time right?
"What?" I shout still standing by the door hoping of escaping.
"Can you come here for a minute?"
Sighing I drop my bag by the door and walk the short distance down the corridor and into the kitchen.
"Yes?" Okay I didn't mean to sound that rude
"Sit down" Mum was sitting at the dining room table with a cup of tea and had the chair next to her pushed out, in front of it another cuppa and my favourite Garibaldis. Tentatively I sat down and picked up a biscuit.
"I was just wondering when you were planning on telling me what happened at the love ball?"
"Excuse me?!" I nearly choked on my garibaldi
"Well it's been like two weeks and you are yet to tell me the gossip and if what I hear from Kieran is true then you have a lot to tell me"
"Erm" I look down at my mug, how could I think I could keep this from her she is fucking a teacher for christs sake! Kieran works everyday with Doug and Harriet just two of the huge number of people who had seen our very public outing. "What exactly did he tell you?"
"Just that something happened but that it would be best to come from you"
"oh... right..."
"you can tell me, I know I have been a bit shit sometimes but we are close right?"
"Yeah, yeah course we are its just I don't quite know how to say it"
"Well why not-"
"I am NOT singing about it!" I cut my mother off before she can say it
"It always helped in the group"
"Ugh why do I even bother?"
I stand up about to leave the room but I feel her hand on my wrist.
"Please Naomi, you don't have to tell me until you're ready I just want you to know that you can"
"I know... I know" I sat down again avoiding her gaze. "I don't know why I'm making such a big deal out of this you really aren't gonna give a fuck and honestly I think you probably know but-" I take a deep breath come on this is my mother for christs sake the woman who opened her house up to a bunch of homeless hippies who thought they were jesus and stole our stuff for fucks sake she was the most open minded person I know.
Fucks sake just say it!
"Emily is my girlfriend!"
"Is that it?!" Mum sounded almost offended
"Yeah what did you think it was?"
"I dunno that you had gotten into heroin or something not that"
"Why on earth would you think I got into heroin?"
"I dunno a mothers brain just goes there" And with that she stood up and headed out the room. I sat there watching my tea in the mug for a moment trying to process what had just happened. Did I just come out to my mum? Before I could take in that thought her head popped back around the door.
"Oh and honey I did know, you two are very cute" She smiled and then headed upstairs. I just sat there thinking about what had just happened. I only snapped out of it when I heard the shower start up then I remembered where I was stood up, headed to the front door, grabbed my bag and headed to college.
