Chapter 8. Forgotten


When i woke up, on that saturday morning, my alarm said '6th of june'. Hmmm? Something about that day rings a bell, But what? it was something obvious, something that was gonna cost me for forgetting. So anyway like any other morning i got up, had a shower, got changed into a black skirt, and a green top. I let my hair dry curly today. When i started to walk down stairs i heard the noise that stopped my heart, completly.
"HAPPY BIRFDAYS MUMMY!" sam called.
Shoot! how could i forget mum's birthday, when even Sam remembered. This is so bad of me. What do i do? I ran back up stairs not making a noise, i stuffed my bed with pillows and things to make them look like me. Then i grabbed my handbag, and climbed down out of the window. I couldn't tell mum i had forgotten her birthday!
Okay so i had $25 in my purse, that was surley enough to buy her a card, and a nice teady bear saying 'mum i love you'. I went into the nearest gift store, and bought a cute little card, and a nice teady bear, as i said before. It cost $21.95. Phew! i got her something, but that wasn't going to take the guilt away. I would just have to live with that.
When i arrived home, i had to climb back up the window, some cars passed giving me looks, i just ignored them. i put my bag down, and ran down stairs singing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!".
Then i handed her my gift.
"Oh, honey thanks, it;s lovely." she said thankfully.
Pfft it was shameful, actually. "Oh no problem mum!" i said, trying to lie.
Sam had made her a cute little card with her and Sam holding hands. Awww bless him.
"Sammy, i like what you got mummy!" i said, with a smile.
"You gots...her a nice, teady bear!" he said, then smiled.
So for now everything was going fine. Then as mum was leaving to get some shopping, the phone rang, so i waved her bye then ran to the phone.
"Hello?" i said.
"Hi!" said Jason.
"Oh, hey!" i laughed.
"How are you?" he asked.
"Guilty, terrible, stupid, what about yourself?" i said, sadly, i started to cry a little, but held it in.
"I am fine, but not anymore, whats wrong babe?" he said worriedly.
"Well, it's mum's birthday today, and i woke up and i had forgotten about it, completley. so i had to climb out a window, and run to a girft store. I feel awful!" when i turned round, i gasped, Mum was standing there, looking a bit red. "Got to go, bye !" i said quickly, then hung up.
She stood there, and the was bright red, i had never seen her so mad.
"Listen mum, I'm so sorry! I am so stupid!" i said, trying to calm her down.
".........*sighs*......WELL.....I JUST DON'T KNOW.....EITHER YOUR TOO BUSY TO REMEMBER ME, OR YOU JUST DON'T CARE!" she choked out the last line. then stormed off to her room, sam must be at grandma's and grandpa's.
I started sobbing, more like bawling, and ran to Jason;s house.
i rang the door bell, Jason answered.
"H...." he stopped before he could greet me. instead he just hugged me.
"There, there it's okay! shhh!" he started trying to calm me down, it didn't work so he walked me down to the river.
" I'm such a horrible person!" i managed to choke out.
"NOO! your not! you just forgot, it;s okay, just buy her some chocolates, and flowers and get her a sorry card!" he soothed me, but i had already socked his t-shirt.
"Yes, i am horrible, one thing i have donw wrong, now 2 things, i have stuffed up your shirt, it;s all wet!" i let the last of my tears fall down my cheeks then it stopped.
"Meh, don't worry about me. I have never ever seen you so upset!" he looked down at me sadly.
"So i deseve getting run over by a bus right now!" i said, upset again. but i held it back.
"Shhhh! calm down, he hugged me tighter, and then he gave me a tissue. "This might be handy" he said and smiled. I smiled back
"thanks!" i said. i blew my noise, and wiped my eyes and cheeks. He was the best boyfriend ever.
"Your the best Jason!" i said, and grinned.
"Your better!" he said.
He took my back to his house, and i went to the toilet to clean up. Gosh! my eyes were still slightly red, and my nose was red, i looked like rudolf the red nosed raindeer. Oh well not to worry.
When i walked into the room, he grabbed me and hugged me so tight. He was warm, so wamr it was hard to let go.
"mmmm this is nice, i love you!" he said.
" yes, i love you." i said, the smelt in. GEEZ! he smelt good.
"You smell nice!" i said, "I mean really really nice" i said again.
"umm...thanlyou, you smell great!" then he pulled away and bent down to kiss me, it was quick, but sweet. I didn't want to leave.
"You can stay or go" he said, saying the word stay slowly.
"i'm not sure what to do!" i said, hoplessly.
"How about i walk you to the shop and u buy her a sorry card and stuff?" he asked.
"Yes, thats probably wise!" i said, thankfully.
As we walked, he had his hand around my waist this time, he had never walked with me this way before, i liked it. A lot.
I bought mum, a sorry card, and some flowers.
"they are nice, she will like them!" he said.
"Yes, she will! Oh! wow, look those roses are so nice!" i liked roses.
"hmm? lets get you back!" then he took my waist again, and we walked to my house, well i shall see you later!" he said then kissed me a nice romantic kiss.
i walked quietly into mum;s room. "Happy Birtday mum! i got you these!" i just put them next to her bed, and walked away. Before i walked out the door she said "Honey, wait! I'm sorry, i was really harsh, it;s just, my birthdays bring back bad memories, and so i am always a bit, scary on them!" she laughed. "THANKS!" she cried.
"umm..no problem, i just had to make it right!" i said cheerfully.
"Oh dear, you have been crying a lot! Sorry!" she smiled apologeticly.
"Doesn't matter!" i said.
" You know Hannah, your growing up so fast these days, and your beautiful, i am not just being buyist!" she laughed, then i laughed.
"Thanks!" i said, then walked out.
So things were back into place, with everyone. I called Jason to tell him.
"Hey Hannah!" he said.
"Hey! mum, is happy again!" i said happily.
"Good!" he said.
"Thanks as well, you help me all the time, and i never really say thanks! but thanks for everything, your the best!" i said.
"I love you Hannah!" he said.
"I love you more!" then i hung up.
Life was great at the moment, but knowing me, something was going to slip on toe out of line, adn everything would stuff up. Again.
