" Miley you're getting dismissed please take your stuff and go to he office."

I finally see my father walk in and sign me out.

As my father is driving I silently yell to myself as my father misses the only exit to our house.

"Dad!! Its going to take us like an hour to get back home!!"

"We're not going home your mom is in the hospital, she had cancer..."

" WHAT!!! You didn't even bother to tell me and now she is in the hospital!!! You have some nerve!!!"

"Miley Tanisha Wilmer don't you dare use that tone with me!!"

After the silent ride to the hospital we finally arrive!!

" Excuse me m'am what room are you visiting? " A kind nurse asks me.

" Room 123"

" Room to the right."

"Thank you!!"

I enter my mother's room and see her pale body sleeping.

"Miley?" My mother softly asks

"Yea mommy!?" Yes I say call her mommy when I'm nervous.

"Come here.."

I walk over...

My mother speaks again.

"Sweetie I don't think I'm going to last very long. I want you to have this to remember me by."

She weakly gives me a flower... Birds of Paradise specifically.

My mom holds my hand.

"Sweetie just remember you're my little bird from paradise!"

And with that the monitor goes dead.

Beep.Beep.Beep.

"Nurse help my mom is....gone!!!"

"Coming right over!! Dr. Malkin come quick!!"

I cry to myself and think to myself " Why me?"
