Mummy I got you a new husband

SELENE’S POV.

“What am I supposed to do now? I sighed as we arrived at school that morning, unsure what to do. Jade was annoyed with me, and Davis was still bugging me about my bargain with him. “I suppose I will sort it out when I get to school.”I said to myself as we approached the school’s entrance.

Mummy appeared to sense I was not myself and asked about it again as we got out of the car. “Selene, what is wrong?” Her eyes gleamed as she questioned me.

“Mum, it is nothing.” I replied, despite the fact that it was clearly bothering me, I did not want to trouble my mum with the matter involving Jade and me.

“It is not nothing. Tell me the truth!” She stated as she gripped my shoulders and turned me towards her. I could not hold it any longer and I burst into tears. “Mum, Jade is upset because I shattered her trust by asking her to talk to Davis so he would stop saying terrible things to you.” I responded amidst tears.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Shuuu, It’s okay baby, cry no more.” Mum said as she embraced me. I felt so warm in her arms and relieved from every emotion i felt.

” Baby it’s alright, you can fix this. I know you want to do things to help me, but I do not want you to. Mummy can take care of herself OK.” She said as she released me from her grip, and I wondered how I was supposed to do that. ” But, I just wanted to help. I do not like the way he talks to you.” I responded and mum insisted I let her take care of me and not the other way round.

” But how am I expected to do that, Mum? I asked her, “She would not even speak to me.” I added.

“You will find a way, so do not cry. “If you try, she will talk to you.” Mum said, wiping away my tears. “Thank you, Mum; I love you.” I said as I hugged her. I quickly let go of her and raced through the school gates. I was going to talk to Jade, and everything would be okay.

As I went through the school gates, my heart felt heavy with the weight of the unresolved conflict between Jade and I, but mum’s assurances made me feel better about everything.

The sun’s rays danced across the school grounds, and even though all I could see were shadows of uncertainty, I hoped to be able to mend our friendship as Jade’s words lingered in my mind, her rage permeating everything. “How did our friendship come to this?” I could not help but question myself. “And all this was because of Davis; was it worth it?” I wondered.

As the day progressed, I could not shake the tension that hung in the air. Mum had told me I would find a way, but I was not sure if I could. During class, my mind wandered away from the lessons as I wondered how to mend things with Jade. My time with her was wonderful, and I miss those moments. I wish that she and Davis would get back together, and we could all get back to our normal lives, allowing me to get what I desired as well.

Soon it was recess, and we headed to the cafeteria to have lunch. I nervously approached her seat, but she packed her stuff and headed out before I got the chance to talk to her.”it is going to be harder than I thought.” I whispered and followed her as she headed out.

When I arrived at the cafeteria, I looked around for Jade, “Did she not come here?” I asked myself as I gazed around. Suddenly, I got a glimpse of her when I looked at our favorite spot. She was with her meal and she had just arrived at the table when I saw her.

I gazed at her as she took a bite from her food her face a mix of frustration and sadness. Taking a deep breath, I mustered up all my courage and walked towards her. She turned to face me as I arrived and continued with her meal as though she did not see me.

“Jade,” I started, my voice shaky with nerves. “Can we talk?” I said, staring at her hoping she would say yes. She looked up at me, her eyes hardened but also filled with a glimmer of hope. “I don’t want to talk.” She said as she continued to eat her food.

I took a seat next to her, ” Jade!!” I called out for her, I am really sorry about everything that happened,” I began earnestly. “I never meant for things to get so out of control and this was not about me but us.”

I said as I stared at her,” please listen to me Jade.” I murmured to myself.

She sighed and glanced away for a moment before meeting my gaze again. “Selene, it’s not just about what happened with Davis,” she said softly. “It’s about trust, or rather, the lack thereof.”

My heart sank as her words hit home. She was right; our friendship was supposed to be built on trust and honesty.

“I know I messed up by acting so selfish,” I admitted guiltily. “And I understand if it’s going to take time for you to forgive me, but please consider it. I miss you.”

Jade remained silent for a while, studying me intently as if searching for sincerity in my eyes.

Finally, she let out another sigh and reached out to hold my hand gently. “Selene, friends make mistakes too,” she said softly. “But what matters is how they learn from those mistakes and grow together.” She said and a wave of relief washed over me as Jade forgave me wholeheartedly.

” Thank you, Jade, I love you.” I said as I embraced her, and we giggled in excitement. ‘Selene, she called out to me and I turned my gaze and faced her. ” Where is Xavier? I did not see him at school today.” She asked, “Oh Xavier is out of town, he traveled for his sister’s graduation. I responded, he had informed me a week ago he would not be at classes because he had to travel out of New York for the event. ” Oh, no wonder he was not at school today.” She said as she smiled radiantly, offering me her food afterward. ” Here have a bite.” She said as I took from her food, she laughed happily as we talked about other things.
