"I do forgive you. I just won't be able to forget. What about mom?"
"What about me?" came from the doorway.
Jay shot up standing at the sound of their mother's voice. Looking at her Jay tried to read her face.
"Jasmine, what a nice surprise." Anger, pain and disappointment flared through Jay like a wild fire.
"Mother! We spoke about this!” Sam shouted eyeing Jay.
Their mother's shook her head and laughed.
"I was only weighing things up to make sure Jay was one hundred percent on it. It's ok child I'm not like I was I understand you a little more than before. You made it clear that you was sure when you stood up for yourself and left. After all I raised you to be strong." she said looking Jay with honesty in her eyes.
'What? Who is this woman? ' Jay was thoroughly confused by what was going on it's like they were-
Jays POV...
I shot up waking up in my room looking around 'So, it was just that. A dream. Of course it was'.
Sighing I pushed myself off of the bed, rubbing my face trying to get rid of the remainder of sleep.
Walking through to my bathroom I contemplated ringing home. I shake my head and walk over to the sink, turning on the cold tap and splashing my face.
I know that in reality that would never happen. 'I hate this of all things that I could dream about.'
I rest my hands on the sinks marble countertop and stare at my reflection taking in my appearance - the dark bags under my grey eyes showing the lack of decent sleep, my number one back and sides with my long quiffable curly Plum hair framing my pale face. I lick my pale pink lips trying to add moisture to no avail.
Sighing again I strip off and jump in the shower hoping that the warmth of the water would somehow soothe the heart ache brought on by the pain of a scenario that I'd never get to enjoy in reality.
After half an hour I reluctantly step out grabbing my towel and start drying off my five foot nine body and then give my hair a quick rub to remove a little bit of the extra water.
After putting on deodorant I start putting on my black Calvin Klein boxers and sports bra. I look through my wardrobe and pick out my black, ripped skinny jeans, a thigh high sky blue flannel left undone and a black zipped hoodie.
Grabbing my hair brush I start blow-drying my hair.
I look at the time and smile a little knowing that I don't have much to do today.
I grab my black leather jacket, keys, phone and cards and walk out of my flat locking the door behind me.
As I get outside I consider driving into town or just walk. I decide on walking as it doesn't look like rain.
...
As I get in town I head to Starbucks and order a Caramel Cappuccino and a Pain au Chocolat. Once I pay I go sit at one of the tables.
I was getting lost in thought until I noticed a small group of couples walk in.
I watched enviously from underneath my lashes.
Sighing I drank my coffee looking at my phone flicking through the latest SN dating app.
'Twenty-three and still no luck' I thought to myself. I shake my head 'Why am I even bothering?'
I put my phone in my pocket and chuck my paper cup away and leave.
I walk further into town and start thinking about what clothing shop I wanted to pop into.
I chose to go into H&M first and then Topshop.
After buying some more leggings, jeans, tops and jackets I pop into Subway and buy a sandwich for when I get home.
