What on earth made me do it? I can't believe I just kissed Kane! I mean, what was I thinking? Was it just to cheer him up? Was it to cheer me up? Was it just friendly? Oh mother mary. What the hell happened? I can't think straight. What if Kane doesn't like me? What will I do then? I've never been so humiliated in my entire life. How am I going to face him now?
Those thoughts were racing through my head at the speed of light. I couldn't believe what I had done. I cursed myself and told myself to forget it, then put on my P!NK MIZUNDASTOOD CD. I went to sleep with the lyrics of 'Don't Let Me Get Me' going through my head.
The next morning, I woke early and tiptoed down to the kitchen. Mum was sitting at the table drinking coffee.
"Mum, what's wrong?" I asked, getting a bowl down and filling it with cereal.
"Nothing." Said mum, even though it was a blatant lie because it was obvious she had stayed up all night.
"And I'm the bogey man. Come on mum, 'fess up."
Mum smiled slightly. "Gee, it seems like I'm looking in the wrong end of a telescope and watching myself grow up all over again."
I grinned as I put sugar on my Weet-Bix. "I know. Now come on! What's up?"
"Well, you know Emma is in hospital again, don't you?"
"Yeah. Found out last night."
"Okay. Remember how I told you I used to look after Emma when she got into trouble and sometimes ended up in the infirmary, just like she used to look after me?"
"Yeah?"
"I just feel so helpless. It doesn't help that I haven't seen Emma in ten years, since you were almost two. Old habits die hard, that's why. I just want to talk to Emma again, I've seen her in a whole lot of tricky situations with doctors and stuff, I never liked her father and the way he treated her. That's why we swore to protect eachother. She and Billee used to help me when Galfo came to school and tried to get me, and me and Billee used to help her get rid of Randy and Gimli and other nasty people."
"Oh. Mum, why don't you just call her? I mean, when she gets home from the hospital. Maybe if you just talked to her, you'd meet up somewhere and talk about good times."
"Not that simple honey, wish it was though. Anyway, I have to work today and your dad has to go help Sam, Merry and Pippin put up Merry's new shed. We'll both be away until about six. Blue is gonna come and check on you at lunch time, other than that, you can go over to a friends house or stay here and watch videos."
"I'm going for the videos. It's a school day. So all my friends will be in class."
"Okay, Fortuna will walk the twins to school then. I don't want you doing anything bad. You are getting those stitches out the day after tomorrow."
"Great." I said sarcastically. Mum laughed.
"Like I said, I can see myself growing up again. Go and get your brothers up, Fortuna is up, because I can hear her music. Love you." She gave me a kiss and went to have a shower. Her job at the hospital as a secretary sometimes had its bright days. Today wasn't one of those days, obviously.

Later, after mum and dad had left and Fortuna and the twins had left, complaining about mums bad mood last night, Vince, Kane and me all sat in front of the TV and watched LIAR LIAR, Pay it Forward, Head over Hells and Save the last dance - all my mum videos. Then, just for a bit of fun, we watched The Osbournes on TV (which is totally forbidden cuz of all the swearing). It was a pretty good day. Blue came and checked on us, she brought over baby Matthew and Little Hannah Kate. Matty, who is ten months, climbed all over us and Hannah Kate showed us her lost front tooth and the other loose one. I loved those kids, they were so cute.
