There's blood everywhere.
"Mom?" I whisper, not sure what's happening. I crouch down next to her, and move the hair that sticks to her face.
She fell.
I saw it.
I don't know what happens next.
"Mom?" I ask a little louder as she looks at me with a small smile.
Blood. There's so much of it.
I don't know what's happening.
"My beautiful boy," she puts her hand weakly to my cheek. "You make me so proud," she swallows, her breaths sound wet. "I'm so sorry, Xavy."
"Mom?" I can't say anything else.
What is happening?
"Mom," I whisper, holding her hand.
She doesn't hold mine back.
"Xavier?" I hear my big sister call. "What was that soun—Mom!" Zara screams, rushing out of her room.
She's screaming.
I don't know what's happening.
Mom's eyes start to dim.
"Mom?" I ask, moving more hair out of her face.
"Tim!" Zara cries. "Tim!"
"I don't want the gifts, ma," I say, shaking my head. "I don't need them today. They are meant for tomorrow. We can open them together tomorrow."
She doesn't seem to hear me.
"Ma, I said I don't need them. Put them back."
"Get off of her!" Zara pushes me off, making me fall back down.
I move frantically back. "Mama," I shake her.
Her eyes are open.
But she's not blinking anymore.
"Mama I don't need my gifts early, Ma," I tell her desperately.
Why isn't she saying something back to me?
"No!" I protect as I'm getting pulled away. I can't take my eyes off of her.
What have I done?
I watch Tim lean over where Ma lays, her head rested on the end of a stair. "She's no more, Zara," I hear him say gently as he crouches on the ground next to my big sister.
Then his widened, hurt eyes look to where someone is dragging me away, even as I fight to get back to mama.
I stop fighting, then.
