-No control-

Chapter 4

!FLASHBACK TO APRIL 10TH!

My mom had been sick for about a week now and it didn't seem like she was getting any better.She laid on the couch all day, her face red and sweaty.Sometimes her screams echoes through the house because she was in so much pain.I didn't even know what she had but I knew it wasn't good.

My dad stood next to her holding her hand and helping her get through the pain.She screamed loudly and cried often.she even suggested killing herself to get rid of the pain but my dad wouldn't allow it.She took every pain relief medicine we had in the house some of them worked but only temporarily.And the worst part of this whole thing was..I wasn't allowed to help.

My dad said he didn't want me to get sick too so I had to keep a safe distance from my own mother while he got to hold her hand and aid her.Then one day she wouldn't stop throwing up.My mother cried while my dad gave her every bag we had in the house so she could throw up in it.

It got even worse and there was no sign of a near end,So my dad suggested going to the hospital.

"Em!" My dad yelled through the house

I ran down stairs to my dad but didn't get any where near my mother.

"Your mother isn't feeling well or getting better so I'm taking her to the hospital now before things get worse."

I could tell this wasn't going to end well and I could feel the tears coming.

"I want you to stay here."these last words did not seem right to me.

"What the hell?i can't stay here by myself! I need to go with you!"

"I don't want to risk you getting ill too.Your mother will get better and we'll be back as soon as possible...I promise."

I couldn't fight back the tears as one by one they slowly fell from my eyes.i can't believe my own father would leave me alone in a house where anyone from the crazy outside world could break in and kill me.

"You promise?" I ask trying not to start a fight with him but also unsure with this plan.

"I promise"he says with a saddened eyes and a shy smile.

He then walks up to me with open arms and pulls me into a tight hug.

"Everything will be okay em."he says into my hair and kisses me on my forehead before releasing me from our hug.

He's been calling me em since I was 4 and the sound of him saying it brought tears to my eyes again.what if this was the last time I was going to see my parents.I looked passed my dad and saw my mother curled up under a blanket on the couch.

"I hope you get better mom." I talk loud enough so she can hear me from across the room.

"Thank you sweetie." He says with a dry voice,barely audible

"I love you"I manage to say without bursting into tears.

"I love you too" she faintly replies.

My dad then picks her up off the couch and carries her outside.

I stand by the house as he sets her in the backseat of the car and then seats himself in the front.

I wave goodbye as the car takes off and I'm almost blinded by tears.

That was the last time I saw my parents. I don't know what happened to them or off they are still alive but they never came back home.

After 2 days of waiting I figured they were never coming back.i mourned for days till the days turned into weeks.i barely ate or slept but there was really nothing else to do so I sat by a window waiting to see if their car was coming back.It never did.
