about Yesterday

Chapter 2

Amanda

I am blindfolded and Mom is leading me to God knows where

Mom:"We're almost there" she whispers, I can feel we're walking alone, after we went out the house, Dad drove with Sabrina, Nathan and Matteo while I drove with mom who made me wear a blindfold because apparently it's a surprise

Mom:"You know Nathan came up with this plan" she says again and I just keep quiet as my heart starts playing drums in my ears and I can feel my palms sweating

Mom:"Don't be nervous now my girl" she giggled

Me:"Mom what if Nathan and Sabrina are dating?" I voice out my thoughts and I hear her sigh before she talks

Mom:"I have a feeling they are but don't focus on that right now my baby, focus on your day" she says as if that will calm my nerves!

Me:"But mom-"

"Surprise!!!!" Mom removes my blindfolds and I instantly smile as I notice we are in a Botanical Garden and they have set up a small picnic there and then they start singing my happy birthday

Opening my eyes I realise it's the next day, and my eyes feel heavy, I look for my phone and it's already 10 am in the morning, I get up and stretch for a second before standing on my feet and the events of yesterday start replaying in my mind

Sabrina told me that her and Nathan are dating and it's been a month now and I didn't notice how? I also don't know because I've been with them as far as I know and I didn't notice a damn thing, I cried myself to sleep last night probably why my eyes are puffy and feel heavy

Today is a Sunday meaning rest for me, I make my bed and to the bathroom

I take a long bubbly bath and after that I brush my teeth and get right back on in my pyjamas,by the time I'm done it's almost half 11

I walk downstairs to find mom already cooking for lunch

Me:"Hey Mom" I hug her from behind and she giggled

Mom:"Hey Baby, how was your sleep" she turns around once I untangled myself from her

Me:"Well..."

Mom:"It's true isn't it and don't lie to me, I saw how down you were when we got back home"

Me:"yes Mom, apparently they've been dating for a month now"

Dad:"Who has been dating for a month now?" He asks walking in the kitchen

Mom:"Sabrina and Nathan " Dad eyes me

Dad:"I thought that boy was interested in you?"

Me:"That's what I also thought Dad, what can I have in the meantime while I wait for lunch mom?" I ask changing the subject, I am not really comfortable having a conversation with Dad about boys especially about Nathan

Mom:"Ohhh there is some leftover pizza in the fridge and leave some for Matteo "

Dad:"Kids" he shakes his head, you're as confused as I am Dad

Sitting in my room and just scrolling through tik Tok and I hear a knock

Me:"It's open" I say and Sabrina walks in, I fight the urge to roll my eyes

Her:"Hey girl" I force a smile.... This is gonna be painful

Me:"Hey" I say and she comes sit on my bed

Her:"So Uhm about yesterday...." I raise my one eyebrow waiting for her to speak

Her:"Me and Nathan, it just happened... I'm so sorry, I know you had a crush on him" I almost chuckled but held myself

Me:"Ohkaaaaay"

Sabrina:"I am sorry friend but I think I'm Inlove with him, can you forgive me" I force another smile

Me:"It's okay, it was just a crush anyways" I lie through my teeth and she smiles breathing out a sigh of relief

Sabrina:"I thought you were gonna blow off on me for a second there" all I am thinking about is how I am going to handle this, I'm left with only 2 months to graduate high school and I haven't even thought where I want to go.... For the 1st time ever, I am thinking of going abroad, far away from here just for the sake of my sanity
