The Missing Key

CHAPTER 9

CASSY'S P.O.V

One month later

"Cassy, your food's at the door. Please eat something. I beg you. " Vicky pleaded but all she was saying, I wasn't registering it. I just heard her and continued staring at the Wall that had become my company. It's been a month since my mum died and I've been trying to get over the pain but nothing's working. I've tried to get myself working again but it's still the same thing. I feel numb. I haven't gone back to school yet since I came back here and Trevor called me non stop. He's been there for me throughout including Davin and Lily but Nathan... I hate him. It's like he didn't care what had happened. I didn't even see him at the funeral. He was actually heartless. I heard a knock at the door that made me come out of my thoughts.

"Cassy please eat... I don't know how long I can see you like this. You haven't eaten quarter of a meal in a week cassy. Please I beg you. Plea-se" Davin's voice broke down at the end. After he had left, I stood up and went to open the door and that's when I saw him. Nathan. In front of my door. I hadn't seen him in two weeks. I know. We both stay in the same house... It's absurd but it's the truth. We stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity until I turned away and picked up the tray of food and turned back to go into my room.

"Sof- cassy" He said and I swiftly turned back. Silently waiting for him to speak and it looked like he wanted to say something but he was holding back.

"Don't worry.. It's nothing " he said, shaking his head. I didn't say a word and entered my room back, locking the door. I looked at the food. I didn't want it. I furrowed my brows as I saw something on the tray. It was Chocolate! I chuckled at the sight of my favorite chocolate and it was the largest size of kitkat and immediately realisation hit me. This was the first time in a month I had smiled. All because of chocolate. Was it Davin that dropped the chocolate? What was Nathan doing in front of my room? Was he the one who dropped the choclate? So many questions ran through my mind and I didn't have the questions to and so I just put them at the back of my mind and ate my chocolate and went into a dreamless sleep. My new phone rang, waking me up from sleep. I checked the caller and it was a private number.

"Hello?"I said and was greeted with silence.

"Hello?" I said again. I didn't like this sort of prank. I was about to cut the call when a voice spoke.

"Check your text messages." The strangely familiar voice said and the line went dead. Huh? I received a text immediately making me drop my phone out of fear. I picked it up slowly and checked the text

Unknown: Hi.

Me: Who is this?

Unknown: You don't have to know. I just want to talk to you.

Me: Talk to me about what? I don't even know who you are.

Unknown: And I have said earlier you don't need to know who this is. I wanted to talk to you about your mum.

Me: What do you mean? Who is this??!! How do you know about my mother??!!!! What sort of shitty prank is this???!!!" I typed furiously and also scared. Who was this?

Unknown: Your mum loved you and she wouldn't want to see you like this. My heart melted at this. I miss her so much.

Me: Who is this please?? I don't understand.. what do you know about me?

Unknown: I know that you're a beautiful and smart girl and you are strong and you loved your mother and she also loved you and that is why you must not give up and

continue pushing forward.. you're more than what you are now cassy.. I love you so much.. never forget that..

What was going on?? I was so confused and scared and motivated and overwhelmed and happy. Who was this mysterious person.. I tried calling the number but it was no more reachable.

Was I everything the mysterious person said? Was I really strong to move on? Did i have it in me? One thing I know the mysterious person said right was the fact that my mother would never want to see me this way. She had always been a bubbly and happy person and that would have been her wish for me too. I have to make it up to her. I have to try to be happy just for her. Wherever you are mum, I love you and I miss you so much. I promise to make myself happy all for you and for myself.

I took a shower and dressed up and went down the stairs and much to Vicky's surprise, I hugged her.

"I'm sorry for the stress I put you through Vicky.. I love you" and she hugged me back.

"I love you too cassy. I understand why you broke down and if you need me, just know I'm still here for you" she assured me and I just hugged her again.. letting her words seep in. I love you mum.. forever and always.

Heyyy guys... Pleaseeeee
