Sorry!!
Anne’s (Leah’s mother) POV
I have been standing here in the kitchen for quite a while now, cause I could hear Harry and Leah talk and I know that if I interrupt now they won’t get to talk about, about, about whatever they’re talking about. I switched the kettle on and got out three mugs and in each of the mugs, I added the hot chocolate powder and there I stood waiting.
The past few weeks was quite rough for Leah cause the accident with Ash. The day of the accident Liam phoned me and told me about everything. I asked the doctors to keep her for the night and that night I sat outside her door not wanting to go in, cause I knew her friends were with her. After a while I stood up and got me something to eat at the cafeteria. When I returned they told me that she is asleep and that I can go home if I want to, but I refused. The whole night I sat up thinking about Leah’s father’s death, his death was similar to Ash’s, both in an accident.
Leah’s father died in a bike crash, when a truck ran over him. After his death I kept on blaming myself for not going with him, cause I knew that if I had went with him everything would’ve been different. Leah was only a few years old when the crash happened and the day it happened I had sent her to stay with her aunt for a while, cause I knew that if she had to see me that way she would be a smaller version of me. When Leah was little she used to be a little ME version cause if I was happy, she was happy; if I was sad, she was sad. When I finally got used to the idea of her father not being here anymore I went to fetch Leah from her aunt again.
I got snapped back to reality when the sound of the kettle signalling that it’s done had clicked. I then realised I had forgot about the milk and I quickly rushed to get to milk. I poured it into the milk cup and warmed it up. I switched the kettle on again making sure it’s hot. I poured the warm water into the mugs and stirred the liquid. I soon added the warm milk and stirred again. I placed all the mugs on a tray and before I exited the kitchen I quickly got the marshmallows from the sweet drawer and I placed a few in each mug.
I started walking towards the tv room and when I entered the room I saw Leah and Harry sitting there with watery eyes. I decided to rather not ask cause I know my daughter and it would be best if I just kept quiet. I placed the tray on the table and directioned them to the mugs after I took my mug. I placed my hands around the warm mug trying to get some warmth for my hands as I sat there just staring at the tv screen with the changing images.
Leah’s POV
I saw my mother entering the room with the tray and placing it on the table. She then directed us to the mugs and she went to sit on the couch. I took a mug and gave it to Harry and then took the other mug for myself. When I saw the marshmallows I smiled, knowing this is my mother’s special hot chocolate. I placed the mug to my lips and took a sip. “Mmm” I smiled and looked at Harry who had a weird but hilarious expression on his face. “Someone gotta tell my mother that she isn’t the best hot chocolate maker” Harry said causing me to smile even wider. “That’s nothing, wait till you taste her food and the best thing ever is the pudding” I reply and I can see the smile on Harry’s face getting even wider.
Harry’s POV
Oh my fucking god, this is delicious! The marshmallows and the blend of hot chocolate is amazing and I’ve had hot chocolate with marshmallows before, but it’s nothing compared to this!
Leah’s POV
I look at the tv and all I can see is the pictures with no words. I then look at my mother who is staring at the tv and then at Harry who’s enjoying the hot chocolate as if it is his last. After a while my mother excuses herself and she then kisses me goodnight and walk to her bedroom. Harry and I sat there for a while, until I stood up and took my empty mug to the kitchen. I went back to the tv room and I found Harry on his feet and coming my way. I stopped and waited for him to get to me before I walked with him to the kitchen.
“Leah” Harry asked “Yeah” I replied and turned to see that he had moved and I moved so that I could see his face “Would you mind if I stay the night, just for if you wake up and…” he said before I cut him off “for when I wake up from a nightmare?” I said “Yeah” he replied and I agreed knowing that he is the only one who could calm me.
I got a spare mattress from our guest bedroom and placed it in my room at the foot of my bed. I grabbed some fresh sheets and made his bed before I went into the bathroom to get ready for the night. When I was done brushing my teeth and changing I opened the door only to find a naked Harry in my room “Sorry” I said and immediately I turned around. “You can turn around now, I’m done” Harry said and I turned around. “I’m SO sorry” I said “No, I’m supposed to be the one apologising cause it’s your room. It’s just that I’m not used to living with girls anymore” he explained “OK, but can we at least just like never talk about this again!” I replied “Done” he responded. I gave him an awkward goodnight hug and climbed into my warm and cosy bed. “You ok down there?” I asked before I turned out the light, hoping for good dreams.
