Choose - Season 1 - Episode 86

But I don’t care about the house. All that’s on my mind is what May is doing right now.

Finally we get to the house. I am shocked to see it is a gated house, practically a mansion. We get out of the car and I am stunned. I never expected to be living in a house like this.
“Go on upstairs. Your room is the eighth door on the left.” Vince says.
“The eighth ?” I ask in shock.

How many d--n rooms could be on the left? I miss May and I living in her 2 bedroom apartment. That was all I ever needed. All I ever needed was May. Need, not needed, I correct myself in my head.

I take my bags up to my room to see just how huge it is. It was the size of the apartment back in Sydney.

My mum knocks on the door. “You can unpack later. Come have dinner with Vince and I. He cooked to celebrate you moving here.” She smiles gleefully.

All I want to do right now is sleep, but I don’t want to be rude. I can tell my mum’s been looking forward to this.

“Sure.” I say as I follow her downstairs.
We sit at the table and begin eating.
“So Luke, how is everything? Are you excited to be here?” Vince asks.

“Um, I guess.” I shrug.
“How’s May, honey?” My mum asks.
“Good.” I say under my breath.
I can’t talk about May without crying, so I just keep my head down and hope they’ll change the topic.

They don’t.
“How was her graduation? I can’t believe she ended up giving a speech. You must have been so proud of her.” Mum says.
I put my fork down rather loudly on the plate. “You know, i’m really tired. I’m gonna get some sleep.

“Oh, okay. Good night.” Mum and Vince both say.

“Ya, night.” I say as I walk back upstairs.
I lay down and immediately pull out my phone. I start typing a text to May, but then decide not to. Talking to her right now will only make me miss her more. I put my phone on the table beside me and go to sleep.
Once I wake up in the morning, I immediately check my phone in hopes that May would have texted me or even called and left a message or something.
Nothing. Not a call or a text.
I can’t be without her. I can’t. What is she doing right now? How was her sleep? Does she miss me? Is she alone? Is she okay?
I throw my shirt on and go downstairs to see Vince in the kitchen.

“Morning, Luke!” He says overly cheery.
“Where’s my mum?” I ask.
“She’s in the backyard watering her flowers.” He says.
I walk towards the backyard and see my mum. I walk over to her.
“Good Morning, honey. How’d you sleep?” She asks.
“Mum, I can’t do this. I can’t live here when May is so far away from me.” I blurt out.

My mum sighs as she takes my hand and brings me inside. She brings me upstairs to her room and walks over to her bedside table and pulls out a ticket. She brings it over and hands it to me. I look at it to see it is a ticket from England to Sydney.
I look up at her confused.
“Oh honey, i’ve known for a while now that you can’t be without May. I was just hoping you’d somehow find a way to manage. I honestly didn’t even expect you to make it all the way to England.”
“Really?” I ask
She nods her head. “Son, you know I love May and I think you two are perfect for each other. But, are you sure about it all? You’re talking about moving across the world just to be with her.”

“I’m going to marry that girl some day, mum. She’s going to have my children. We’re going to spend the rest of our lives together. I can’t stay here. I need her mum. She’s like oxygen to me.”

“Well in that case, we better get you to the airport.” She says.

“I’m so sorry, mum.”
“My baby, don’t be sorry.” She smiles as she hugs me.

I smile at the excitement that in less than 30 hours, May will be back in my arms……….
