The Devil's Eyes

Chapter 1 (Sav's POV)

Let me explain to you, my life.

First of all, my mom and dad are divorced.
I live with my dad during the week. Weekends are for "mommy daughter bonding" as my mom says. She usually picks me up from school on Friday and takes me shopping.

I always feel so bad for my mom because my dad is the one who wanted a divorce. Turns out that my dad was cheating on her with her ex-best friend. A really fucked up situation. Honestly though, the divorce wasn't too bad. My mom has a new boyfriend, he's honestly a creep. He looks like a pedophile with his ugly Hitler looking mustache. It's whatever though, my mom loves him and they're actually really happy together.

Moving on to my school and social life.
My only friends are Kenny and Alice. We've known each other since 3rd grade. They can be a pain in my ass at times, but at the end of the day, we all love each other and would take a bullet for one another. School, oh my lovely little school. I hate it. Honestly, Waterbury Creek is the smallest and shittiest school just about EVER. The teachers are decently nice, at times. The office is actually run by the top students. The smart ones of course. I usually help give out late passes and detentions for the "naughty students" as Mrs. Lokwin (Principle) would say. It's my last year in high school and I was hoping it'd be the best year. That's clearly not the case so far. What I thought would be the love of my life, broke up with me. My ex-boyfriend Christopher and I split up last month, November 11th. 2014. The shitty part is, that was our 3 year anniversary. He dumped me for one of the prettiest girls in my grade. Not a shock though. I could've seen it coming. He always told me that he had to stay at school everyday to help tutor freshman with algebra. Little did I know, he was messing around with Mckayla Tunk (the pretty one is what I refer to her as).

I thought, "Well shit. It can't get any worse than this". Boy was I wrong. Three days later (Friday), my mom calls me out of school. I get picked up at my dads house and she takes me out to get lunch, then we head back to her place with the food.

I ask, "Mom, why did you call me out of school today? Did something happen?"
"Yes, and I need you to be strong for me, okay?"
"I guess, what happened?"

She took a long pause and looked down at her feet.

Before she answers she grabs my hands and holds them in her own.
"Savannah, my baby. I went to the hospital and had an Angiogram. I-I..I want you to know that I love you very much baby girl. And no matter what happens...I'll always be proud of the fact that I was your mother."

I'm totally confused at this point. I don't know what she means by was.

"Mom, what do you mean was?"
"Honey, I'm going to die. I have bra-"

I cut her off, and I don't even care how mean I sound at this point. I'm beyond pissed, and I'm beyond scared.

"MOM NO! You can't be dying! Don't lie to me! You're not serious right?! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL YOU ARE DYING ON ME MOM, I NEED YOU!"
"Baby, please calm down. I wouldn't lie about something like this. Now please just hear what I have to say before you say anything else."

I burst into tears.

"No mom, you can't be dying!", I say sobbing.
"I know babe, it's probably too much to even comprehend right now. But I love you SO much. You know that!"
"I know mom, but I love you more! And I need you here with me until I'm old and my hair turns grey. I need you to attend my wedding if I even find someone else to love. I need you to-"
"Savannah please baby, I know you need me. I'll always be in your heart", she puts her hand on my chest, feeling my heartbeat.

"Sav, I have brain cancer. And there's no way I'd be able to make it out alive after surgery. And plus, I don't have that kind of money to get surgery done!"
"Well, how long do you have left? Please tell me a couple years at least?"

She paused. Her eyes looked into mine, teary.

"See that's the thing. The cancer is very aggressive and the doctor told me-"
"Told you what mom?!"
"I only have about a month left to live..."
