I missed Mommy

While I was having dinner with my family, my mind was miles away. I couldn’t focus on the conversation, the laughter, or the delicious food in front of me. All I could think about was Jason. Was he eating? Was he lonely? My heart ached at the thought of him being alone while I was enjoying a meal with our family.

My family chatted happily, oblivious to my distracted state. I forced a smile and nodded at the appropriate times, but my thoughts were consumed by Jason. I couldn’t wait to make an excuse and retreat to my bedroom.

Finally, dinner came to an end and I made up some excuse about being tired. My mom gave me a knowing look, but didn’t question me further. I practically ran upstairs to my room, desperate to be alone with my thoughts.

I flopped down on my bed with a heavy sigh. Pulling out my phone, I quickly texted Jason. “Hey babe, are you okay? Have you eaten? Do you want me to come over?” I waited anxiously for his reply, my heart pounding in my chest.

Jason responded almost immediately, “Don’t worry babe, I’m fine. I’ll be home tomorrow morning for breakfast.” Relief washed over me as I read his message. He was okay. I could relax.

I replied back, “Okay, goodnight. I love and miss you so much.” Jason’s response was short and sweet, “I love you too.”

As I lay in bed, my mind drifted to our memories. The night we had at club Tempo, how he took care of me and the fun we had.” My heart swelled with love for him, and I longed to be in his arms.

Thinking of Jason brought a smile to my face. He was my rock, my partner in crime, my everything. I couldn’t imagine my life without him.

I drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the day when Jason would be back in my arms. The thought of seeing him again filled me with joy and anticipation.


The next morning, I woke up to the sound of a knock on my bedroom door. I jumped out of bed, my heart racing with excitement. Opening the door, I was greeted by Jason’s smiling face.

He swept me into his arms, holding me tight. “I missed you so much,” he whispered in my ear. I looked around nervously to see if no one saw him hugging me that way, that hug was far from a sibling hug. But seeing that no one saw I smiled.

“I missed you too,” I replied, tears of happiness welling up in my eyes.

As we sat down for breakfast, I looked around at my family and realized how grateful I was for their love and support. They may not have understood my distracted state at dinner the night before, but they were always there for me, no matter what.


I couldn’t help but notice the look of relief on my mom’s face when she saw me back to my normal self. I saw the worried look she gave me the night before, even though I lied about being tired, she knew me more than anyone in the world. But now, sitting here with my family, I felt a sense of peace and comfort that I hadn’t felt in the last few hours.

We talked about our plans to go back to the beach house soon. I mentioned to my mom that Nathan and I had cleaned the house the day before, and I could see a hint of suspicion in Sebastian’s eyes. I brushed it off, knowing that Nathan was the last person he needed to worry about.

Just then, Jason spoke up. He told our parents that he wouldn’t be moving back to the beach house with us. I saw the shock in our parents’ eyes, but they quickly reassured him that it was okay. After all, he was the eldest and needed to make his own decisions. I could tell that they were disappointed, but also understanding of his need for independence.

After breakfast, everyone in the house dispersed to go about their plans for the day. I couldn’t shake off the guilt that had been weighing me down ever since I failed to come home. Knowing that my mom was probably worried sick about me, I decided to spend the day with her. As soon as I mentioned it, her face lit up with joy.

“Really? I would love that sweetheart” she said, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

I smiled at her and promised to make it a special day. I quickly texted Jason, letting him know that I wouldn’t be able to see him until later. I could see the understanding in his eyes as he excused himself and went up to his room.



Nathan and Sebastian also decided to leave the house, leaving me alone with my mom. I couldn’t help but worry about Nathan talking to Sebastian about us before we had a chance to sit down and talk about our relationship. I hoped that they wouldn’t make things more complicated than they already were.

I spent the day with my mom, and I could see the relief in her eyes as she chatted away about everything. I felt a pang of guilt for not spending more time with her, especially since my relationship with Jason had been taking up most of my time and energy.

But as we laughed and reminisced about old times, I realized just how much I had missed these moments with her. I promised myself that I would make more of an effort to spend time with her, no matter how busy I was.
