Ok so heres the next chappy. I'm really surprised at how popular this story it. I might try and focus on this story for a bit but I'm not sure. Anyway please read.
Morgan stirred and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She looked around and realised that she was in her daughter's room. The bright blue walls hurt her eyes as the early morning sun lit up the room. She groaned as she realised both she and her daughter had slept squashed up on a small kids bed. Her neck was stiff and as she tried to stand her joints ached in protest.
Leaving Max to sleep Morgan headed into the kitchen to make Breakfast. She decided to make Max's favourite, French toast with bacon.
When breakfast was almost ready Max came stumbling out of her bedroom rubbing her eyes and yawning. Morgan could practically see her nose twitch as she smelled the delicious aroma that wafted through the house.
"Yummy!!" exclaimed Max as Morgan placed a plate filled with her favourite breakfast on the table in front of her. Morgan joined her and they both dug into their food.
Once they were finished Morgan cleared the plate and Max turned to her curiously.
"Mum, I wanna ask you something."
"What is it darling?"
"Well…I think we should go back to your home town, even if it's just for a visit."
Morgan's back stiffened and she froze. "Why do you say that Max?"
Max paused for a second before answering. "Well, I really want to meet my grandparents and I think you need to go back and see them too. There're a lot of unresolved feelings between you and your parents. I can feel them. Wouldn't it be nice to at least see them again?"
Morgan, who's back was to Max, let out a breath and slowly shook her head. A silent tear slid down her cheek but she didn't bother to wipe it away. She felt all her suppressed emotions bubble to the surface and she struggled to keep them under the surface. "Sometimes you seem wise beyond your years my daughter," she whispered before she turned and looked at Max. Max's eyes showed love and concern as well as defiance and stubbornness.
"Please Mum. At least think about it." Max pleaded.
"No." replied Morgan in a monotone. "We are not going. End of discussion."
With that Morgan retreated to her bedroom. Max was sure she heard her crying.
Max cautiously knocked on her Mothers bedroom door.
"Mum I'm going over to Makayla's for a bit. I'll be back later. Is that ok?"
Max waited for a couple of seconds for her Mother to reply.
"Ok honey. Don't stay there for too long."
"Ok. Love you." Said Max before she let herself out the front door and headed down the road to Makayla's house.
"Max, are you paying attention? Max…earth to Max?"
Max jerked out of her daydream as Makayla waved her hand in font of Max's face.
"Oh, I'm sorry. What were you saying?"
Makayla sighed with annoyance. "I was just asking you why you were so distant and day dreamy to day. It's like you've got a T.V. in your head and you don't like what's on but you can't change it."
"Oh it's just something me and my Mum talked about last night that's bothering me."
Jessica, who was in the other room, heard this and frowned. Had Morgan finally told Max about her parents and Him? Morgan had told Jessica about Hunter and her family a few years ago and she too had tried to get her to return to her hometown but Jessica had been unsuccessful as well.
"What was it about?" asked Makayla curiously.
"It was about her parents and stuff." Said Max.
"I thought you said she was an orphan." Said Makayla puzzled.
"Well she was until last night."
"Whadda ya mean?"
"Well," said Max with a sigh. "It turns out she was lying to me. She lived with her parents and then she got hurt by this guy she loved and ran away."
"Wow" gasped Makayla. "It's like a tragic love tale."
"I know. I tried to get her to go back as well but she wouldn't hear it. She shut herself in her room and she was still there when I left."
Makayla was about to answer when her Mother interrupted her.
"She just won't listen will she." Jessica said in a near whisper. Max stared at Jessica strangely.
"I didn't know you knew. I'm probably the only one in town that didn't know. Well that's just great." Max's eyes swum with tears. How could her mother keep this from her?
"No one knows about it." Said Jessica dashing Max's fears. "The only ones that know about it are us and Morgan herself. And of course I know. I'm her best friend."
"Well that's a bit better I suppose. I still can't believe she didn't tell me."
"I'm sure she had her reasons." Said Jessica reassuringly.
"I still want to meet my Grandparents. Do you think she would listen to both of us?"
Jessica paused for a second. "I suppose it's worth a shot."
Morgan lay curled up on her bed, a crumpled and barely readable photo clutched in her hand. The photo was of her and Hunter. It was taken in Hunters house, probably by Sky. Morgan was perched on Hunters lap and had her head leaning on his shoulder. She could see Hunter looking at her with a happy smile, one especially for her, and so much love in his eyes it seemed impossible that he would cheat on her like her did. Morgan's features were happy and peaceful, her lips curved in a small smile and her eyes half closed with drowsiness.
She wasn't sure where the photo had come from. She had vowed when she left Widows Vale that she would leave everything connected to Hunter behind but when she had opened her bag she had found the photo nestled in with all her other belongings. She was glad she had it. It reminded her of whet she had once had…and would probably never have again.
Morgan heard the front door open and more than one person walk in before it closed. She sighed and rolled over. She knew there was going to be trouble. Max wouldn't take her answer just like that. She would push until she got her way. Morgan smiled wearily. Sometimes it scared her how much her daughter was like her, thinking pacifically of the time she bugged her parents about her adoption.
She heard a gentle knock on the dor and her Daughter's voice.
"Mum. Can we come in?" Morgan looked over at Max who stood uncertainly at the door and smiled.
"Of course you can baby." Morgan sat up and gestured to Max who ran and jumped onto the bed and gave her Mum a big hug.
"Please Mum. You need to go back. You won't be happy till you do," whispered Max, looking up at her Mother.
"Max is right. You need to do this. For you and Max." said Jessica from where she stood leaning against the doorframe holding Makayla's hand.
"But it's hard. I don't know if I can't do it."
"Of course you can do it Mummy. You've got me!" Max smiled and rested her head on her Mum's shoulder.
Morgan's eyes twinkled with love and her face split into and small, sad smile.
"Ok. I'm in."
YAY she's going back. Well please review and I'll try and get another chapter up soon. I love you all. Stay cool. Love and Peace. Super Secret OUT!!
