Mama, don't go!!

The last few days after Amelia's birthday party, were as normal as usual. But something doesn't feel right with John.. He has been getting detention frequently, i try and talk with him, try and help him in a way but it's no use, he would start to ignore me. I knew that something was up with him.. i just want to know.

It's a Saturday, i thought it's a good idea to not disturb John for a while, if he doesn't want to speak to me it's fine, he'll have the courage to speak to me again. I just have to be patient, the thing was.. i am not patient. So after a few more minutes of standing and waiting in my room,i find myself walking to Mimi's house to speak with John.

I knock a few times on the front door and waited, for as long as it went. Then someone answered, it was Mimi. She looked at me with a surprised look and looked down "Is it John, sweetheart?.." She said in a gentle voice, she didn't look good as well. "Mimi, i just want to know what has been botherin' him, i want to be there for him!" I blabber to her and hope that she'll maybe let me in for a minute to see John. She sighed a bit and walked me over to the living room "Would you like a bit of tea, dear?" She looked at me, waiting for an answer, i nod slowly at her and sit down on the couch as she went to the kitchen and started quietly making tea.

I take my time to look around, seeing some old photos framed on one of the drawers, a picture of John as a child and another one across it, being John and a woman sitting next to him, that wasn't Mimi. I suppose it's his mom, or maybe another woman.

After analysing the pictures, Mimi walks in with a tray of tea and sits on the chair right next to me, handing me my tea as i take it carefully and stare down at it "Tell me again sweetheart, what got ye here?" She looked over at me with a sweet little smile "It's John, i feel that somethin' isn't okay, he has been ignorin' me, gone into many fights and skipped some of his classes. He's not himself y'know.? I didn't want to bother him with me and tried givin' him some space! B-but I can't bare the thought of seein' him suffer or.. y'know?" I ramble nervously, tapping gently on the cup of tea as i glance up at Mimi, she sighs and slowly leaves her cup on the tray, clearing her throat a bit.

"His mum didn't really take care of 'im.. she and John's father were in an argument, because his mum had an affair while his father was away.. it all went out of control and i ended up intervening, and taking John into my arms.. his dad moved out of the place and was pretty absent through John's whole entire life. John later on found a way to secretly meet his mum behind my back.. but of course i found out either way, afterwards the fights and arguments started goin' down. It wasn't good for a 16 year old to be dealin' with all tha, me and his mum made the decision to apologize to eachother and understand eachother and be family again.. everything after that was just amazing, until his mum got hit by a police car and died on the spot... It crushed John from the inside and outside, he cannot get out his bed and eat or go to school."

I listen in shock as my chest would start hurting, i slowly drink from the tea, rubbing the cup a bit and sniffing "Could i.. please try and talk to him?"

I knock onto John's door, waiting for an answer "John.." i knock again, but no one answers. I then open the door, greeted by a messy bed, clothes all over the floor, vinyls thrown around everywhere and a very stressed out John on the desk, paper balls all over the desk.

I swallow nervously, walking over to him resting my head onto his shoulder while my arm slowly wrap around his back and to his other shoulder, only to get my arm pulled away from him. "What are ye doin' here?" His voice cracky and hoarse, not making eye contact with me whatsoever. "Johnny.. I'm here, because i care about ye and how you are. I'm yer friend, aren't i?" I tilt my head over to look at his face, not catching his lost gaze. We then fell in deep silence, trying to desperately comfort him and help him out, his shaky and heavy breath filling in that silence surrounding us. I saw him in my place, how i felt with losing my mum as well. I hate seeing him like this, he didn't deserve this feeling at all.

I sigh sadly, wrapping my arms around his back pulling him into a hug, embracing him in my arms. He slowly rested his head onto my shoulder, i felt so helpless. Just couldn't do anything, but hug him and try to comfort him. "Everythin' was comin' in place.." he began, slowly feeling that shake in his voice, the tears slowly flowing out his eyes and to my shirt. He hasn't let it out to someone before, i can feel him slowly grip onto me tighter and tighter "I never had the chance to even-" he continued, but was then interrupted by a sob. I listened to him, understanding him and slowly stroking his hair, comforting him in every way i could think of. "Let it out, it's not okay for you to keep it in.." i quietly say, letting him lay out every little thing that bothered him. Every tear, every scream, every sob, i let him lay it all out, because he didn't deserve this at all. And even if i don't help him in any way after this, I'm glad i at least tried.
