(A/N: I never put authors notes at the beginning of the chapter! it feels so wired but I'm sorry. You will understand. love yall! keep readin)

Uptown Funk starts playing, starting my day. I hop out of bed and take a quick shower.

Not as quick as I thought it was. I hurriedly get dressed and do my makeup, then run downstairs.

Everything has been good this morning. Except that.

My make up was perfect, my hair. I don't know what it is. I can tell this day is a special one. Despite the delay. It gives me good vibes.

I get ready for school and eat breakfast.
I grab a cereal bar and bid goodbye to my dad until he pulls my arm as I am walking out, catching me by surprise.

He never has. It must be important.

"S, I have to tell you something." This can't be good. "It's about your mother," Instantly tears start to stream down his face.

He doesn't try to wipe them away or hide the fact that he's crying.

I can see the pain in his eyes. Like all of his love for life and everything he cares for was taken from him, replaced by darkness.

They're bloodshot. He must've gotten no sleep. I wish I could help him. Heal him.

"She, passed away last night, in her sleep."

She was gone.

My mother.

The one I love. Loved. She's gone.

And the worst part is I will never see her again.

Never have her advice,
her comforting words,
her hugs,
her kisses,
her laugh,
her letting me skip school to hangout with her,
everything.

It's all gone.

gone.

Just like that, something you love with all your heart can be taken away from you in a snap of the fingers.

It wasn't fair. And the worst part is,
I never got to say goodbye.

I snap back to reality not even realizing my father has been speaking to me for quite awhile.

I sprint out the house not knowing what to do or where to go. Im lost in my thoughts.

I hop In my car and drive to school. All I need right now is my friends. They both will to comfort me.

A couple years ago Holly's father passed away. I was there for her and it was really rough.

Now I understand the pain she went through. Now I need them to be here for me like when we were for her.

I spot the two of them talking to some girl in my Chemistry class.

Thank God.

I park not too far from them, Grab my bag and run over there. Immediately they see me and see the tears.

I literally run into their arms and they pull me into a bear hug. Their hugs and being with them is calming but by now the sobbing is uncontrollable.

I pull back and keep trying to wipe away the tears. Their flow like a river from my eyes.

It's so hard to understand how someone would feel after a loss of a family member but now I understand.

I understand how Holly felt. I get it

I see Brent walking towards us. As soon as he sees the tears in my eyes he runs over here.

Were all just standing there and I try to stop the tears. Surprisingly Brent pulls me into a hug and kisses my forehead.

Right now we aren't on speaking terms and it's quite awkward. We are yet to talk.

"Is she gone?" he whispers into my straight hair. All I can do is nod into his shoulder and the crying worsens.

***
It's been another 15minutes that we've been outside. I've just talked to my friends trying to figure how how to stop the crying. How to get it off my mind.

Class is about to start so we head inside. My friends and I rush to the bathroom, getting looks from people. Danny flips a few of them off.

I love her so much. I'm so grateful for them. She cares about me. When I first got to this school I was bullied.

(A/N: Sorry if I already mentioned her being bullied before!) They were the ones who saved me from hell.
I get in the bathroom and look in the mirror.

Oh my gosh. I look like crap.

I immediately wipe off the mascara running down my face. I could go home right now. I go and talk to all my teachers and thankfully Danny and Holly are there to tell them what happend.

My teachers give me my homework for today and tomorrow. After receiving all of it I put it all in my backpack. When I'm about to close my locker someone else does.

It's Jack. He smiles sweetly to me but I'm not in the mood. I push past him but he grabs my wrist and pulls me back.

"What's wrong baby?" he asks me rubbing his thumb across my cheek.
I give him a confused look because he should know about Brent and I.

"Jack I'm not in the mood." From soft and sweet Jack he turns into evil and controlling Jack.

He slaps me.

Immediately I put my hand to my face. It's stings so badly. He looks at me like it was nothing. I pull away. Well, at least try to.

"Who the hell do you think you are!" I scream at him. "And why did you slap me!?" He slams me into the locker.

I cry out in pain. My back. My face. My head. It all hurts. "Stop!" I scream already knowing there are at least two witnesses.

"You will listen to me. You will obey me. I control you." Who the hell is he to this any of this? " I don't want
to hurt you-"

I cut him off, "But you are! Who the frick do you think you are bossing me around, saying you control me? Your a fricken jerk and are going to be expelled.

"If you don't get your disgusting hands of me you will regret it." My words drip with venom.

He let's me go. "S, I didn't want to hurt you." He leans closer and whispers into my ear, "Nates blackmailing me. He's watching right now.

"He hacked into the school video system. I had to do this once so I don't get in trouble. Go along with it."

I show him fear in my eyes and shrink away from him. I don't think this was all an act.

Liar. I know he's lying because Nate walks up and shoves him off me. I sneeze. "Bless you." They say in unison. I sneeze again,"Bless you. Are you sure your not getting sick?" Nate asks me.

"Im sure. I'm just allergic to this bs." I state strongly and walk away. That felt so damn good.

Their fierce and strong stares burn my back. Just before I walk out the door, I turn around and flip them off.

Walking out of school I smile. Until reality hits me like a truck.

The cold air nips at my skin as I rush towards my car, driving home to do my homework. An easy way to get my mind off things.
