monday morning

Louise dreds waking up on a monday morning. She knows only to well that once she gets up its all work work work. She looks at her alarm clock five thrty am best time to go running she thinks to herself. dragging herself out of bed and into her grey tracksuit and with her cap pulled down covering half of her face. Once she is at the park she decides to take her usal route round the lake and back. starting of at a slow place gradually getting faster as her thoughts about going home intensified she needed to get back home to her mum before she woke up and realised she wasn't there. Her mum needed her and that weighed heavy on louises mind. Ever since her dad left a year ago her mum had spiralled into a depression louise had tried to get her to a doctor but her mum was haveing none of it and Louise had no choice but to just keep looking after her.

louise creeps back into her house praying the closing of the front door won't wake her mum. she clicks the front door shut and creeps into the kitchen. Turning the kettle on she slumps into the chair exhausted because of her run but also the worry about her mum is starting to wear her down. Of course she couldn't tell her dad what use would that do. She hears her mum stirring upstairs and immediatley went into mothering mode. Nursing her mums crying by hugging her and telling her everything would be ok.

Once her mum was settled downstairs with a cup of tea and daytime tv blaring out the telly. she pulled on her school uniform and scraped back her long hair and put some mascara on to outline her beautiful eyes. Pulling her bag over her shoulder kisses her mum good bye and walks out the front door clearing her head of all the worries and consentrating purely on the day ahead of course this is better said than done and the worry about her mum sits like a rock in the bottom of her stomach.
