Chapter 8

I woke up the next morning with a plan all set out in my head. I would leave early for school but go to Brendan's house instead and explain everything to him; we'd have our usual day at school and set up a date for our parents. The only problem was that I wasn't too sure about the date plan. Brendan and I discussed many different possibilities that we could set them up, but the one we ended up choosing was the lamest of them all, But the most practical.

The day passed quickly with only one bump in our plan, when I arrived at Brendan's house I went up to his room, everything was fine and we went downstairs, turned out that Edward was going out tonight and he really didn't want to hook up with Bella anyway.

So we set for plan B, Brendan would have the talk mum and I had last night with Edward, and I was going to get an answer out of mum.

I arrived home and plopped myself on the couch. Mum, realizing that I wanted to talk to her, sat down as well.

"Mum," I began hesitantly "You know the talk we had last night, well I really do want to have an answer from you. And before you interrupt me, I know, I know it's none of my business blah blah blah, but actually it is, you're my mum and all I want for you is to be happy."

She gave a deep sigh and answered "Leish, I know you want me to be happy, but the truth is that I am happy, being with you is all I've ever wanted."

"Ugh, Mum, I know you're just saying that, when you see me with Brendan, you're face lights up, remembering your youth with Edward, just like mine. When Edward walked into our house for the first time, your cheeks lifted, you smiled and not just a forced smile. A genuine one, I know deep down you still have feelings for him. And you know it too." I said as I wandered back to the stairs.

I went to my room and lay down on my bed, not long after, mum came in and lay there with me. "Honey, you were right, I do have feelings for him, and they've been there since the day he left me, for over 10 years. And I know what you're trying to do with me and Edward" she flinched as she said his name "but I can't go back to him, not after he left me the way he did, and this reunion is just… too weird, If you know what I mean. I wanted this with him; he left me and had a baby with some Tanya woman, now all I can do is double over at the mention of him." I didn't want to push this any further, I could hear her voice breaking, her tears welling in her eyes. I had what I needed, information that could bring my mum back to happiness after so many years.

I gave mum a quick hug and grabbed my coat, I told her I'd be back in an hour or so and I left her crying in my room, but this was too important I had to go to see Brendan.
