I got back home and saw a familiar black Chevy Silverado in the driveway. My dad has the same truck but I knew that this one wasn't his. The car shipping place said that his car wouldn't get her for another two days. That means that this truck was my...
"UNCLE JOHN!!!" I screamed as I ran through the door. I dropped the pizza on the kitchen counter on my way to the living room where I saw my mom's brother, my Uncle John and his wife, my Aunt Cindy. He saw him and stood up from the sofa with a huge smile on his face. When I reached him, I jumped into his arms in a big hug.
"Hey my little Tater Tot!!" Hey said in my ear holding me tight. I've always hated that nickname that he gave me when I was like two years old. We pulled away from each other and I hit him on the arm.
"Um ow, what was that for Tate?" He asks while rubbing his arm.
"I told you to stop calling me that. You know I've never liked that nickname." I say with my arms crossed but a smile on my face.
"You know me better than that Tater Tot. I will never stop calling you that." He laughed and I rolled my eyes at him and turned towards Aunt Cindy.
"Hey Aunt Cindy!!" I say hugging her as well.
"Hey sweetie, How are you doing?" She asked me
"I'm doing okay I guess, just getting used to everything. Where is my little Marcy!?" Marcy is my Uncle John's and Aunt Cindy's 10 year old daughter.
"She's at school but she really misses you."
"Awww i miss her too."
"What are y'all doing here?" I ask them. The smile on my face fades as I see the expression on everyone else's face. What's wrong? Did something happen?
"What's wrong? Why did everyone's faces drop?" I ask
"Um honey, have a seat, we need to talk to you about something." My mom says, gently grabbing my arm and pulling me down onto the sofa in between her and dad.
"Y'all are kind of scaring me now, what's going on?" I ask becoming concerned
Dad is the first to speak. "Bean... Gran is in the hospital, she had a heart attack last night. The doctors don't think that she will be able to hold on for much longer. They say that she will probably have only a few more days, maybe a few weeks left. We are going to go to Texas to be with her. I know that we literally just moved in a couple days ago but we have to go." He says.
I felt a knot form in my stomach. This can't be true, I just can't be. Gran is like my best friend, she can't be leaving soon.
We used to live in Houston, Texas but when I was two, we moved to Montana. Gran still lives there. Gran is also my mom's mom.
"No no no no no, that can't be true. Gran was perfectly fine a few months ago when we went to visit her in Huston." I whisper frozen in shock.
"I know sweetheart. This was very unexpected. Your Aunt Katie was over there when it happened. She called Uncle John and told him, then he and your Aunt Cindy came to tell us while you were out getting the pizza." My mom says to me. Aunt Katie is my mom's and Uncle John's sister. She just graduated from college and still lives in Houston so she's goes and checks on Gran all the time
.
"NO, NO! I can't go through this again! I CAN'T GO THROUGH LOSING SOMEONE I LOVE,
AGAIN!!!" I yelled and jumped up from my seat on the sofa.
"I know hun, just calm down—" my mom says
"No mom, i won't calm down. This is happening again mom, again. First Gramp, then—" I paused thinking about the accident that happened not too long ago. The main reason why we moved here.
