I woke up to aaliyah stressing out making sure she had outfits and everything for her trip to New york. I got out of bed and walked out of my room in an Oversized tshirt, grey shorts and my fluffy slippers. "Have you got clothes for everyday?" I asked "I have about nine different outfits so I think I've got enough clothes" i walked into the kitchen area and boiled the kettle and got a mug out the cupboard.

"Yeah I think you've got enough clothes. Have you got your passport and money" aaliyah lifted her tote bag with her passport and money in.

I walked over to her best friend and hugged her. "I'm going to miss you aaliyah" aaliyah smiled "Me too! But I'll bring you back some body shop stuff okay!" I smiled "You read my mind"

"What you doing while I'm gone as you don't have work?" I picked up the newspaper "Me and mum are meeting up, she just got back from Thailand, on tuesday I'm travelling up to Manchester because on Wednesday me and Marie are going to watch England play Australia at Old Trafford

Cricket Ground, and then travel back to Liverpool to then travel to London and stay in a hotel for the England games." Aaliyah smiled "So your going to be busy which is good because you'll forget I'm not a home." We both laughed.

I seen aaliyah off her in her uber that she ordered. Aaliyah was right, with me being busy I wouldn't realise that aaliyah wasn't at home.

I got dressed in a white crop top, a pair blue jeans, my air forces and a pink blazer. I left the house and got in my car and drove to the local cafe where my mum was stood outside waiting. I parked my car and began to walk fast towards my mum.

Maia was the only child, her mum and dad split up when she was three. So all she's ever known is Her mum. At such a small age her mum divorced her dad and they moved to Liverpool and have Lived in Liverpool ever since. They built a life in Liverpool without her having a dad figure around.

We sat down and ordered what we wanted. I opted for cheese pasta and a iced cappuccino. My mum opting for Avocado toast and a Frappuccino.

"How's life then Maia? What you been upto?" I shifted in my seat with a smile on my face " I'm good. I've got a job now." Jenny smiled and crossed her arms "And what job is it?" "I'm an intern at Liverpool football club being a Photographer" i said. Jenny nodded "How did that happen, the last I heard is that you were studying at university" "The internships team had some projects and they were picking people to be interns on these programmes. And my name got chosen to do a photography internship at Liverpool. I've been working there for about a week. But it's International break so I've got the week off"

Jenny smiled "thats great and have you met anyone? Have you got a boyfriend your not telling me about?" I laughed "No one yet, but I really like one of the players his names Trent. He really likes me and we just get on"

My mum was a very opinionated person and if she didn't like something she would say.

"How can you like someone you've only known for a week. That's madness" i sighed and started playing with my pasta "Mum I really like him and he likes me too. I thought you of all people would be happy that I might have potentially found someone" "Yeah but that's the problem you might have found someone. He could break your heart like your dad did mine. I can't watch you make the same mistake that I made. Maia you deserve better."

Things went quiet until the waiter arrived with the bill, Jenny offered to pay the bill and i refused to let her pay. So i paid. Jenny got her stuff together and got up and went to leave when i shouted her "Are we really going to fall out over this mum, I thought you'd be happy. I'll be careful. I know what to do if something isnt right or is wrong" Jenny nodded and left without saying goodbye to me. I was really upset with my mum.

Because i had never had a boyfriend, my mum found it hard to get used to the fact of her only daughter getting with someone. As her marriage with Maia's dad didn't work out she feels her daughter will make the same mistake.

I went to Marie's house instead of going home. Marie hadn't been very well so she had been at home for the weekend. The baby was fine and everything was fine with the Pregnancy she had just caught a cold. Jordan had been called up in the England squad so Jordan wasn't at home.

I knocked on the door and Marie answered straight away and opened her arms for me to give her a hug. "Come on Maia, I just boiled the kettle let's get a drink and talk" Maia took her shoes off and walked into the house. The Television was playing a film on sky cinema. I walked into the kitchen area where Marie was making the two, a cup of tea each. "What's happened then?" I wiped at my eyes "My mum just got back from Thailand and I haven't seen her in months as shes been abroad. I meet her and I tell her how I'm an intern at Liverpool. Then she asks me if I've got a boyfriend and I say no but I really like someone" Marie smiles "And then she said you can't seriously fall for a boy you've known for about a week. I paid the bill and she left without saying goodbye"

Marie smiled "Jordan's father didn't like me at first Maia. He tried to split me and jordan up but we both agreed for that not to happen and look now I'm currently nearly three months pregnant. You have to do what's best for you Maia. If you like trent and he likes you back then go for it. You'll never know what will happen and jordan spoke to me earlier and he said your all trent talls about. About your photography etc"

Marie was right i thanked her and gave her a hug.

We were heading up to Manchester tomorrow as they had both been given tickets to see England play Australia. I was staying the night at Marie's and Jordan's and was going to go back home in the morning to get my suitcase and things ready for the couple nights in Manchester.

We both snuggled on the sofa under blankets as we watched "Ps I love you"

The first half an hour we were both in tears..
