Chapter 2
Kim POV
Its 9am; time to get up. Its the last hour I'll get to spend with my mum and Stuart for a while. I love them both dearly and will miss them.
As I walk down the stairs all I can smell is bacon. Bacon is my favourite food; it smells so good.
Especially Stuart's bacon, it tastes fantastic.
Normally we have a chef but as Stuart is home a lot more he has taken up cooking as a hobby and he is fantastic at it. Some of the things he makes are to die for.
As I walk closer to the kitchen I can hear him singing aloud to 'Moves Like Jagger' by Maroon 5. I try to hide my laughter; let's just say he isn't the world's most talented singer.
As I enter the kitchen all I can see is him dancing and singing around the kitchen in his dressing gown and slippers. I can't help but burst with laughter. He suddenly turns round and notices me standing in the door way in hysterics.
"Sorry Kim, I got a little carried away" He says as he turns the radio down, blushing a little.
"Its ok, I kind of enjoyed it, you've made my day" I say, still laughing.
I go and sit down at the table and he walks over with a bacon sandwich in his hand.
"I'm glad I did." He laughs and places it in front of me.
"Thanks." I begin to tuck in when it suddenly hits me; Mum's not here.
"Stu, where's Mum gone?"
"I don't know Kim, she wasn't here when I woke up, she's probably just popped out for something." He sounds worried, although attempting to hide it for my sake.
I carry on eating, trying not to worry. When I finish my sandwich, I walk over to the sink and put my plate when I hear the front door slam.
I hear Mum call, "Its only me, where are you all?"
"Kitchen" I reply.
I get back and sit at the table, ready to question where she has to go so early in the morning, when she approaches me and kisses me on the cheek.
"Mum, where have you been?"
"Just somewhere." She is really starting to worry me now, she always tells me where she is going or where she has been.
I give her a evil look.
"Fine, I went and got this." She hands over a green box. It looks like a jewellery box. I just stare at it. Then her. Then back at the box.
"Mum, I thought Itold you no more gifts, you've already bought me a flat and even the furniture in it!"
"I know, it's last gift promise. Now open it love." The eagerness on her face makes me smile.
"Fine." I open the box and find a necklace in it with a locket attached. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
The locket is a heart shape. A silver heart with the words 'You're always in my heart' engraved on the front. At that point a tear falls from my eyes. I open the locket and inside there is a picture of me and her on one side and another of me and my dad on the other. It was breathtaking.
"Turn it over." I hear my mum say.
I turn it over and written on the back was 'Forever and ever'. Reading that I burst into tears. They were a mix of good and bad tears.
Stuart walked over at that point to comfort me and my mother who was also in tears. We're all embraced in a family hug when the phone rings.
Stuart goes to answer it while me and my mum are still embraced.
"I love you, Kimmy." My heart skips a beat, as I hear my mother say those words. Even though it's not the first time she's said it today, it still takes its toll on me.
"I love you too, Mum." I turn around and look at the clock. Shit, it's half past nine! "But I've got to go and get ready." I stand and walk up the stairs to get ready.
As I brush my teeth, do my hair and get changed I can only imagine what Britain is like and what my future will entail.
Its nine forty five at this point and I hear a knock at the door. It must be my dad.
"Kim, it's Dad." I hear him yell.
"I'll be just a second!" I reply.
I take one last look around my room and smile to myself.
Goodbye, The Old Kim
