Hiya! Well Recruiting band is over but thankfully our concert is less than a week away! But unfortunately the 7th grade band (which I am in) is sucking! There are only a few people that actually know what they're doing and URGH! Anyways on with the story and… HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Oh but before I forget this is basically just a filler and will not be within the arc I am doing! Just saying!
Chapter 8: The Mother's Day Blues
Molly's POV/Dream Sequence
"MOM?" I screamed.
There was a woman in a gorgeous white dress standing there looking at me with warm eyes.
I ran up to hug her but as I did, I went right through her.
She turned around to look at me again and then started to fade away…
Molly's POV Real life
I woke up in a flash.
I was only a little bit light out so it was pretty early.
I sat up and saw a sticky note on my nightstand. It said:
Dear Molly, I'm going to spend Mother's Day with The H.G. you're more than welcome to come! –Finn
Mother's Day…
I've come to despise this holiday or whatever you would like to call it.
I've never had a mother, sure a foster mom but, no one to call my own.
Since I've been orphaned since around age 8, I don't remember my mother, father or anyone else that was ever in my family.
I got out of bed and got dressed. I went to take care of my farm still feeling melancholy.
After my work was done I went for a walk to clear my head. I decided to go to the church first.
As I walked through town I saw everyone with their mothers.
Simon, Barbara, and Phoebe were out walking. Maya and Jake presented Colleen and Yolanda with flowers. How I envied them!
All with mothers or someone to care for.
I walked to the church and went down to the graveyard. Luke and Gill were there by their mother's graves each with bouquet of flowers for them. At least they knew who their mother was.
I walked back up and went inside the church.
I sat in a pew and started to clear my mind when talk of a ghost caught my attention. Perry was talking with Mr. Caid about a mysterious sound he keeps hearing late at night.
He attributed it to a ghost while Mr. Caid thought otherwise.
"It's probably just natural phenomena. Just don't think of it as a ghost and soon you will not think of it as anything!" Mr. Caid said.
I turned away and walked out of the church. I then realized I had to go to Chase's house for practicing for the next part of the singing competition. We still didn't know if we made it but we wanted to be ready just in case.
I got to Chase's house and knocked on the door.
"Geez Molly, you look down." Chase said as he opened the door.
He welcomed me inside and asked me to sit down.
"Chase how come your not sad, I mean you don't get to see your mother on mother's day. Why aren't you sad?" I asked.
He shrugged. "I guess I've learned to deal with their death's." He said but then clammed up realizing what he said.
"You said your parents were studying abroad. You never said they…" I began but he cut me off.
"Yes they died…they never went abroad…I only said that because I didn't want people feeling sorry for me. People already have enough problems nowadays, they don't need to worry about me." He said looking down.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for him but in a way, if they hadn't died he wouldn't have come to the island.
"But sometimes," He began, "Sometimes I hear their voices singing to me. It's kinda strange but it's true."
"I get the same feeling too…" I said looking at Chase.
We kept that gaze for a long time then he broke it.
"We should get working…" He said looking down.
"Yeah…" I said.
We walked to the piano and Chase started playing warm-ups, then I did the same.
As I was playing I realized that even though I have no idea what they're like or anything like that, I can always imagine.
Well there you have it! The filler until the Concert is over! Yes it's this Tuesday and I'm very excited, even though "We're All in This Together" is sucking, we should still be decent! So yeah, If your wondering, I started this on mother's day, forgot about it the following Monday and the rest of the week I forgot about it. After this the arc will continue but don't expect that till like next week or something because this week is going to be extremely busy! Anyways also for anyone who suggests I put a song in here just say so in a review please! So goodbye for now! And for anyone that has an upcoming concert or performance of anything or what not g'luck!
