Ann's mum above
Its 12 something right now. God how I miss waking up late and I just finished dressing up when my mum knocked on the door.
"Ann honey can I come in" she said.
"Sure mum" I said picking up my phone and she entered and sat on my bed.
"Come" she said patting the space beside her and I sat next to her.
"What's up mum" I said.
"I'm so sorry" she said feeling bad.
"For what" I asked confused.
"I have to leave" she said and I looked at her in disbelief.
"God you always do this mum" I said getting up angry.
"I'm sorry, its just for a few days, I'll be back by like...your last day" she said and my jaw dropped.
"Yeah and that makes things better...you always claim to miss me but you keep on leaving" I yelled almost crying. I just want to spend time with her.
"I'm sorry honey...its just business" she stood up and hugged me tightly and I hugged her back.
"I'm sorry...its just that I want you around" I sniffed. "At least I have dad" I said in hope and she frowned.
"Yh about that, your dad is going to south Africa for some meeting"she said.
" wow so I'm alone in this big old house" I said sadly.
"At least you still have Mary and your phone and estate friends" she said giving me hope.
"I guess" I shrugged.
"Now where do you want to go" she beamed and I though.
"Movies,shopping, ice cream" I squealed. And we jumped around.
"Ok let's get going" she said.
"What why...when are you guys leaving" I asked.
"Tomorrow" she said bending her head pouting. Lol my mum is so playful.
"No wonder your in such a hurry" I said.
"Ok I'll meet you downstairs" I said and she left.
I took a purse put my phone in it and headed downstairs, which by the way is a long way down. I finally reached outside and scanned the compound.
"Now which car is she in" I though and guessed the gray car cause as she tagged it, its her casual outing car. I walked there and I looked through the window and I was right, she's in there. I open the door and entered. This is how I mile it, no guards, no attention, just the both of us and the driver.
*******************************
After a long day of shopping, eating and flexing. We finally game home and had a little mother daughter night watching movies, painting our nails and talking about life.
She eventually slept off and I woke her up so she could go to her room which she did. Since I wasn't sleepy yet I decided to chat up some people.
Private chat between bestie and me
Me: yooo
Bestie:Â Â sup b
Me: how u doing
Bestie: laying on my bed. U
Me: same....how is Daniel.
Bestie: he's coming tomorrow...I'm scared.

Me: I do
Bestie: anyway...ttyl gotta do something.... Goodnight b.ðð´
Me: kk goodnightð¤.
I checked more of my socials then slept off.
***********************
Bang bang bang... Someone was abusing the door.
"Wake up honey...I'm leaving" my mum yelled from the other side. "Or you want me to leave" she asked and I groaned patting my bed for my phone and when I finally got it I Checked the time.
"8:40am...fuck" I thought..."ok mum I'm coming " I yelled and got up.
I rushed to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and washed my face. When I was done I put on my grey sweats and Jordans and ran downstairs.
"I'll be back in a few...I want eggs" i said to the chef grabbing an apple from the fridge and ran outside.
I saw the driver standing beside my mum's black car and i went to it, got in and like that I drove to the airport.
****************************
After seeing my mum off I went back inside the car and looked at Mary.
"So it's just me and you" I asked her and she smiled.
"I guess so" she shrugged and I sighed
"Don't worry we'll have lots of fun" she said trying to cheer me up.
"Yeah whatever" I deadpanned.
*******************************
First day of being alone, first day of my boring break and one day closer to me socially and mentally stabbing myself.
I was on my bed scrolling through some pages as my phone keeps on buzzing from messages but I could care less to text back. I looked at my notification and saw monkey's text. Well I've never chatted with him privately before.

I muted the group chats on my phone in order to avoid any disturbances and replied a few then dropped my phone to rest.

***************************
I laid on my bed thinking about what Asher said. Should I go to his house.. Well I'm not doing any meaningful thing in my house either, but if I get caught I'm screwed...but Mary could help me. Why I'm I even considering this.
"Maybe cause you want to see him" SC said.
"I want to fulfil and lessen my conditions... Why didn't I ask what they were sef...I'm such a desperate fool" I mentally face Palmed.
"How you gonna do it" SC asked
"I'll ask Mary to cover for me...she can do it, she's smart" I said.
"OK no problem" SC said exiting.
I went downstairs to Mary's room and knocked on her door.
"Come in" she said from the other side and I opened the door and saw her on her bed texting or something.
"Hey princess" she greeted.
"Hey... Look I need a favour" I said going straight to the point.
"Which is" she asked.
"I want to spend my break at a friend's house for about a week plus and I need you to cover for me" I said giving her my puppy dog eyes.
"No" she said
"Please" I begged.
"No I'm responsible over you and I don't want anything to happen to you.. You know how your mum is" she said.
"I know... Just please" I begged
"Hmm... The no one should see you cause your sick trick" she winked
"Exactly" I beamed
"Would you be safe" she said eyeing me.
"Of course" I replied
"Ok when are you leaving" she asked.
"Tomorrow" I said
"Ok" she said.
"Iove the way your so cool with me..thanks your the best" I said hugging her tightly.
"I know" she smiled and I left.
******************************
I've packed my things and ash has sent the address but we still decided to meet at a coffee shop closest to his house cause I don't want to arrive at his house alone. I've heard about his place, I've actually seen it...but maybe I'm mistaking.
"So toiletries" Mary said
"Check" I replied.
"Clothes and accessories"
"Check"
"Gadgets"
"Check"
"Hmm I guess your good to go" she said.
"I guess I am" I beamed
"What time did he day again" she asked.
"1pm" I said.  "Ok so you remember the plans" I asked.
"Yeah don't worry... I know this house like the back of my hands" she assured.
"Good...and keep me updated" i said.
'Yes princess" she said.
"Ok goodnight...wake me up by 12am" I said.
"Will do" she said leaving
"I hope I'm not making a big mistake" I thought before I slept off.
