"Dad what floor?" I asked.
"Fifth floor, room 33b." He answered me.
I waited outside for my dad and he came out five minutes after.

"It's your mom..." He said.

I suddenly shot up out of my seat.
"Mom?? What happened?? I need to see her!!!" I said.
"Calm down, she's gonna get better. But for now, she just needs a little rest and she'll see you tomorrow after she sleeps." He whispered.
"Dad, I need to see her NOW!!" I said back. I felt like a little girl crying for ice cream, but I didn't care. I needed to see her.
"Honey, please...." He said.
"Dad... I need to see her now..." I said sobbing into tears.
"Fine, come on." He said.

I entered the room to my mom wearing a tube.
"Baby..." My mom said, her voice trailing off.
"Mom.." I said crying.
"I'll be ok, don't worry about me sweetie, just be a good girl and focus on school." She added.
Honestly, I didn't know what I would do without her. Dad would be the only one in my life if she was gone.
"Mom, don't stress on me, get some rest." I said wiping my tears.
"I will, and watch me walk into that house of ours like the strong women I am." She said confidently. She has always been a very positive women.
"Maya, go home for now, and I'll stay with your mother until tomorrow." Dad said.
"The doctor says that, she has to stay until 4 tomorrow so we'll be home around 4:30." He added.
I didn't wanna leave but maybe I should. Something about hospitals, freak me out.
"Bye mom, I'll see you tomorrow." I said.
"Bye honey, happy birthday." She said.
"I almost forgot." She said taking a flat box out of her bag.
She gave me the box and I unwrapped it. Out came a picture frame of my parents and me. I couldn't help myself but to cry.
"You like it?" She said smiling. "Yeah.." I said shaking my head up and down, wiping my tears again.
"Ok, I'm gonna go now, so you can rest." I said.

"I love you." I said.
"I love you more." She said back.

I got home, later that night, not being able to sleep.
I was planning on not going to school tomorrow, but my attendance was already really bad.
In the morning, I put on a loose sweater, jeans, and my hair in a ponytail.
My eyes had bags again and my face looked like a hell hole.
I tried smiling it out but that smile wouldn't even last.

During third period, I heard someone call me. It was Harry.
"So who was at the hospital yesterday?" He asked.
"My mom." I said sadly, my voice cracking.
"What? What happened to her? Is she injured?" He asked concerned.
"No, she has cancer. For four months. And nobody decided to tell me." I said in a flat tone. I suddenly felt hot tears run down my face.
"I'm so sorry." He said.
"It's fine, they said she was gonna get better." I said trying to smile to make this situation positive just like my mom would have liked.

The rest of the day was the same and I tried really hard to stay happy.
I called in sick today at work just to stay home to see my mom walk through the door like she said she would.
I got home and waited on the couch.

4:00.
5:30.
6:00.
7:30.
8:00.

My dad called home and told me what had happened.
I froze still while he spoke slowing in a low voice.
That night, I broke into tears sobbing and sobbing my eyeballs out.
Is this what the universe wanted.
For me to be alone with one parent.
So this is how it felt to lose someone so close to you.

The next day, I didn't go to school, I didn't even get out of bed.
I didn't go the day after either, not the next day after, or even the one after that. I didn't care about my attendance this time.
I barely ate.
Didn't comb my hair.
I felt Lost.
I felt dizzy everyday and somehow, my eyes just didn't adjust.
