I woke up this morning unusually tired. Very funny, since i slept really early. i greatly have the greatest desire not to go to class today, but I cant risk it. My grades are all straight and I don't want anything to tarnish or stain that. Not even if I'm dying. Okay, maybe not up to that.

I picked up my wrist watch to check the time, it's just 7:45am. I have no class until 11am, but I totally have to be in school before then. The presentation of my group would be holding today and we have to go over everything again just to make it perfect.

"Cassy"

Hmm, that's my mom calling me, i'm sure to wake me up. if i wasn't already awake, i doubt I'd wake up with that soft cool voice. It would only further lure me into dream land.

"Cassy!"

Okay, that's firmer than before. She definitely is bent on waking me up.

"Cassy, get up from that bed right now. i know you are awake already."

"Yes mom " I mumbled and threw my legs to the side of the bed. I shoved my feet into my flip flops and stood up. I am still wondering why I'm so tired when a yawn escaped my mouth.I did nothing to stop it and stretched my body.

I dragged my tired body to the bathroom hoping the cold shower would wake my senses up. I brushed my teeth and turned the water on, letting it run for a couple of minutes before i shrugged off my clothes and stepped in.

The water made me shiver a little but i got used ti it after some minutes. When I felt awake enough, I tuned off the water and wrapped my barbie towel around me. I stepped into my room just in time to hear my phone ring.

I checked the caller I.D and grinned, this day couldn't get any better.

"hello baby" I listened to the person on the other end.

"what?"

"why?" I squeezed my face thinking.

"hmm, okay. It's okay"

I pressed the end button and tossed my phone on my bed. Maybe today could get worse. I opened my closet and picked out a pink tank top and a black bumper short with a pink neck scarf. I dressed up and put on a minimal make up, slipped my feet into my black converse and left my room.

I jogged down the stairs into the living room.

"Mom?" I walked into the kitchen and saw her crying, i rushed towards her and just gave her a hug letting her cry for just a few moments.

"Mom, what are you crying about? And don't tell me nothing hoping that I'll drop it because i won't. So what are you crying about?"

She looked up a me, her eyes red and puffy. "Cassy, don't ever get married to someone who doesn't genuinely love you". I nodded and waited for her to continue.

"Even if he claims he does, please try his love and don't fall in easily". I nodded again and stroked her hair. I understood what she's saying, but what i don't understand is why she was saying them now. Did something happen while i was in the bathroom?

"Mom, I understand, okay? I won't make mistake in love. I promise."

She placed both of her palm on either side of my face and looked me in the eye. The green orbs I was starring into were full of pain and sadness.

"Baby, I love you with everything in me. I don't want to see you hurt. If it comes to not falling in love at all, it would be way better than nursing a broken heart".

"Mom, what happened, why are you telling me all these? please talk to me". I was getting worried, she looks so broken and betrayed. She looked at me and fresh tears starts dropping down her cheeks. I wiped them with my palm and held her close. She rested her head on my shoulder and sniffs.

"Your dad called me". I knew it. I knew that bastard was the cause of all these. Why cant he just leave our lives alone. He has done enough damage already. i dislike him terribly, breaking our heart so much it still hurts. And now he wouldn't let us be.

Now the idiot has succeeded in not making me go to school today, because i can't leave my mom like this.

"He said he is now living with his new girlfriend, he has signed the divorce papers. He sent them to me and they arrived five minutes ago" She started crying again and it hurt me to see my mom in this state because of a useless idiot.

"Mom it's okay. everything will be fine. don't sign the forms yet, just keep them. okay?"

She nods and sniffs. I hug her again and turn the kettle, poured water and placed it on the cooker to heat up. I hear he shuffling her feet and I turned in time to see her walking to the steps.

"Going to your room?" She nods but continues up he stairs. I turned the cooker off and poured water into a mug cup. I prepared tea and placed it on a small wooden tray. I walked to her room and opened the door, I saw her curled up on her bed. I dropped the cup on her bedside table and kissed her forehead. I left her room and went to my room.

I picked up my phone and called my best friend to inform her that i won't be coming to school. I tossed my phone on my bed and sat down, I starred at the ceiling and there I felt everthing would be just fine.

I know that was not the best of stories but i know with you guys comment i'll know if I should continue or stop.
