I picked up the phone hoping he did got his memory back

'O my god dad?! Everything alright?? Hows Connor?!'

'Hey honey, i miss you already but this isn't about your brother'

'I miss you too dad! But whats it about??'

'Your mother.' He said plainly but with worry

'Why what happened??'

'Im sorry im telling you this in the phone but in so much worry, your mom got heart attack and she can barely move and the doctor said that your mom didn't know she had brain cancer since she was a little kid so now.....shes in stage three' i can hear my dad sobbing over the phone and i started crying like so much all over again.

How could such things happen to me!

Ive never been a bad girl!

Yes ive made a couple mistakes and im guilty for all of those and this is what the world is gonna repay me?!

'Dad please tell me thats not true.' Shaking, i managed to take these words out of my mouth.

'Sadly, its true honey. Lets just be strong for both your brother and mother'

'Now this time, i really need to go back to New York dad!'

'I'll take care of them sweetheart so just enjoy your 2 weeks, for now i got to go, the doctors are calling me'

He hung up the phone after saying those words.

I grabbed the pillow from my back and cried and hugged on it.

'What did your dad tell you?'

I looked to my left and remembered that i was sitting next to James

'Nothing.'

'If he told you nothing, you wouldn't be bawling your eyes out right now in your pillow'

I didn't listen to him instead i whispered to myself looking back to the window.

'First my brother's amnesia, now my mom's brain cancer, what else could go wrong??' Saying that, another set of tears streamed down my cheeks.

'Your mom has brain cancer?!' He suddenly pops up again

'Your not meant to hear that'

'Your actually still lucky....'

'How am i lucky when two of the people i love got mad sick?! Tell me cause im confused! Cause i've been in school for many long years and i definately know what lucky means. Define lucky!!' I didnt want to be mean but what if Connor cant get his memory back and my mom dies before i could even go home?!

'Well, when i told you i had to get away from problems, it was just after my mom and dad's forty days which had me remembering of what happened'

'Your? I-what?'

'They went to China because my dad's work was assigned there and going back...well, the ship sunk and they died and all my siblings pretty much dont care living life in New Zealand and im stuck by myself in New York' he said looking down on his shoes playing with his thumbs

'Im really sorry to hear that, i swear i never meant what i said and i was just upset that bad news is happening and I'm hearing about it over the phone'

'Its just fate, you know. God's got something for us thats why he did that. Or either punishment....but you know what? God wouldn't give us punishments this big that it would ruin our lives, he's a great person. Just pray that everything will get better and maybe it will'
