My Best Friends Mom Novels & Stories

I liked that. Kumi was my only friend in Silver Moon ever since Zidair died and Flora betrayed me. Kumi and my mum. “Even if I die trying.”

“Sorry—just a sec.” He swiped to answer. “Nathaniel!” Maya’s eyes widened. Nathaniel. She hadn’t heard that name in years. Ethan’s childhood best friend. The boy who was always glued to Ethan’s side during summers, dragging him into endless soccer matches and wild lake swims. She took a careful step back, grabbing the chance to slip away. “Yeah, I just got in,” she heard Ethan say behind her as she slipped into her room. “What? You’re coming down too? That’s awesome!”

I approached quietly, moved by that image. He was there—for my mother. A woman he’d never had a relationship with. It was just one night. My mother had always made that clear. And for me—a daughter he barely knew. A daughter who, that very night, had lain with his best friend… in secret. I touched his leg. He woke up, startled. “Ah... Maria, my girl... So? How is she?” I cried again.

Her wrinkled yet beautiful hands commenced massaging me on my back. I decided to enjoy the dream as much as I could, thus, I hugged her back, a little too tightly. I was afraid to let her slip away from my grasp. My mom was my best friend and when she left the world, the only hope to survive was Ethan, one about whom I didn’t even wanted to think about and make the cause of ruining the dream, which was a little too real.

"Snacks in the kitchen. Erica, will you open the wine, please?" Erica Plower, my mom's best friend and second, waved as she left, shiny blonde bob swinging. I ignored the pointed glare she shot at me before leaving, knowing I would have her smart comments to deal with later. At least Mom had a good friend, but because Erica knew us all so well sometimes it felt like I had two mothers. Personally, I figured the one I had was more than enough.

The kind of bond me and my Mom has is something I will never trade for anything. She’s all in one- a mother, a sister, a best friend, my confidante. I tell her everything and she would just listen. She’s a good listener, and that’s just one of the many things I love about her. I have two sisters, but I am the closest to my Mom. She’s cool and she always reminds me that my feelings are valid. She always says the best words.

“What are you doing here? This is a private vacation with my daughter.” Elena’s gaze slid over to Mia, appraising her slowly from head to toe. “And who is this lovely young thing? She looks far too beautiful to be just a ‘family friend.’” Mia lifted her chin, refusing to be intimidated. “Mia Thompson. Lily’s best friend.” “Best friend,” Elena repeated, amusement flickering in her eyes. “How sweet. You must be very… close to the family.” The way she said it made Mia’s skin crawl.

I explain, and Jia looks down at the piece of fruit she is playing with in her fingers. "Single mom, huh," she mumbles, and I laugh a little. "She wasn't one of those stereotypical young mothers who can't stay out of the bar or always needs a boyfriend to feel whole. She was my best friend. She treated me like fine china before she even knew I was sick. She always put me first. My mom is awesome. I miss her," I explain as my voice slowly fades. Jia looks at me, and I see the flicker of pain in her dark eyes.

she said, obviously frail. I felt tears near the edge of my eyes, my lip already quivering. I hated it so much. My mom was my best friend next to Alice, my confidant, my everything. I’d be so lost without her. But I knew she didn’t have much more time. “Tell me about the boys, you mentioned a surfer boy last time. Was he the blonde in the wedding photos,” she asked, and I knew she was probably drooling over him as I did.

And the few days that she would be spending here, she will try as much as she could to get closer to him. Sidney extended her hand and ruffled his hair, and that got a smile from him. "So tell me about your best friend, the one you just mentioned," Sidney said. "I would like to know who your best friend is," she said with a shrug when he furrowed his brows at the question, then he said. "My best friend is my Mum." He said, with his mouth full of the spaghetti they were having for dinner. The food was delicious, and Sidney herself was enjoying it.
