I remembered the Saturday nights I would spend with Piper and her family, they always made me feel like I actually did have a family, something that wasn't broken. Her mom was a nice lady from Canada and her father was from Hawaii which is why Katerina got the beautiful blue eyes. Piper always envied her. Katerina was only 17 and she already had lots of admirers, although she never payed attention to them mainly because of me. Katerina was taking into Pipers steps, and I had to stop it, I didn't want her to have a bad reputation, I would always talk to her and and convince her that having sex or a boyfriend was not as important as her graduating, it never would be. I never was interested in having a boyfriend or admires although I did have a few, none of them ever seemed to catch my attention. I swore to myself that I would only present him to my mother if I knew he was the one, so no one ever met my mother. My mom deserved the best, I always told myself and her that but how is this the best? I'm practically dead, and I maybe will be if I don't wake up soon, my mother doesn't have enough money to keep me on life support and soon they'll have to pull the plug. I let Katerina and Piper down. I've let my mom down.
