totally clueless

02

This memory was when it was the first time I found out my Grandmother passed away. Jaden was always there for me. Especially after this.

Age 12, 2013

"Samantha lauve, please come to the office. Samantha lauve." Everyone oo'd and ah'd. I grabbed my things and put them in my bag. I walked to the front of the class.

"Here's your note." Ms. hoger handed me the slip, letting me walk out. I walked down the halls until I found Jaden's class. I peeked in to see jaden looking at the window. I waved my hand for him to see and he smiled. I walked over to the girls bathroom and waited till I heard the word.

"Sherbet!" I heard some whisper yell. I turned around to see jaden smiling like crazy.

"Hi." He smiled. I looked around the halls and noticed a teacher walking by. I pulled jaden into the girls bathroom and into a stall.

"Wh-" I covered his mouth with my hand.

"Shh." I waited till I heard them walk away till I spoke.

"I think something happened with my grandmother." I looked down.

"Hey," he lifted my head up with his hand on my cheek, "it's okay. I'm sure she's alright. I know that she's been in the hospital but it'll be okay." He kissed the top of my head and hugged me.

"Thanks." I whispered. I walked out of the stall and into the hallway.

"I should get going. I told the teacher I had to pee." I giggled and smiled.

"Alright, love you."

"I love you too. See you next period Sam." He walked into the class again. I walked to the office and to the front desk.

"Sam," she walked around and gave me a sad smile. Shit.

"Please, don't tell me." I felt my eyes water.

"I am so sorry. Your mom is outside in case you'd want to go home."

"Thanks but I'm gonna stay. I don't wanna have to do extra work over the weekend." I laughed as I sniffled.

"Okay sweetie. I'll tell her that you want to stay." I nodded as she walked back around the desk. She pressed the button and spoke.

"She said she wanted to stay. Again, I am so sorry for you." She spoke into the speaker.

"Okay, tell her I love her and I'll be home when she gets home." I smiled and sniffled again.

"Okay-"

"I love you too mom!" I spoke loud enough for her to hear. I heard her chuckle and then it went silent. I walked back to the door and waited.

"Have a good day sweetheart." She went back to work. I smiled and walked out. I tried to keep myself from sobbing my eyes out right there. I looked in the room that jaden was in to see him not in there.

"What the?" I whispered and looked around. I was walking away when I felt hands around my arms.

"A-" I felt a hand around my mouth.

"Shh, it's me." Jaden whispered into my ear. I turned around to see the same cute guy I've been friends with since first grade.

"She-" I sobbed into his arms. He rubbed the back of my head and hugged me.

"I know Sam. I know Sam." He kissed the top of my head as I cried.

"She's dead. She's- she's gone." I whispered. He grabbed my hand and walked us to into the unisex bathroom. He sat down on the stool in there and waved over to him. I slowly walked up to him and sat down on his lap. He wrapped his hands around my body and hugged me.
