"I really don't like the concept of living" I think to myself as I lay down staring blankly trying to sleep on a long but same 24 hour Wednesday night.

"I really can't stop thinking" I think to myself, as I moan lightly and tilt my head back slowly in annoyance that I can't stop thinking and go to sleep.

"Morgan!" Calls my Nana

"Yes?" I say quietly, realizing that she wouldn't heard me say yes.

There was no answer

I get up & I open my bedroom door & I walk upstairs to my nana and I look at her with slight confusion why she was calling my name & didn't respond but she tends to do that a lot..

A few seconds after I walked into her room she said "your mom called"

There was silence for a few seconds

I look down "oh" not knowing what to say

"You should call her back probably?" My nana said softly

I look at her with mercy, "I guess so.. "

I walk away

"Morgan" my nana says softly

I stopped, but I didn't turn towards her.

"Call her" she said in a simple, but an advice giving way..

I walk down the stairs.

I sit up on my bed

"Oh Morgan" I think to myself

Glances at my phone

"Call her" my nana's voice repeating in my head like a soft long echo.

I grab my phone And I call my mom

*phone rings*

"Hello?" My mom says

"Hi mom, you called?" I respond quietly and interested in what she says

"Yes I did, How are you doing Morgan?" My mom says

"I'm doing just fine, and you?" I respond softly

"I'm good" my mom says quietly and busy

"Do you want to come visit me?" My mom says surprisingly out of the blue

I didn't reply for a few seconds

I answer softly "su-sure" "but when" & how long? "This is kinda out of no where.. You haven't called me for two weeks?" I say disappointed and surprised.

"I know, and I'm sorry Morgan, I'm just busy" she says

"Too busy to call your daughter" I think to myself wanting to hangup at this moment

" i guess it's okay" i respond back

"I'm sorry" said my mom

"Okay when and how long will I visit you for?" I ask

" a few months" she replies fastly

" a few months??" I replied surprised a bit more fast then usual

"Yes, you'll start school here.. Maybe you'll like it?"

".. Have you talked to nana about this??" I respond still surprised

"Yes I did, I'll be picking you up on next Friday goodnight Morgan I love you see you soon"

" goodbye mom " I hangup and put my phone down

"Just like that" I say

As I'm sitting up on my bed I lay back and think, and think, and think about my mom and the fact she asked for me to live with her .. " Morgan, you'll be alright" I think to myself..

I grab the blanket on top of me and cuddle myself to the pillow and stare at the wall " you'll be alright" I think again to myself.
