That's what Austin looks like
—————————————————————-
My mom walked in, out of breath, probably chasing after me. "Son, she's going to be okay, it's just blood, you get that when you're pregnant. I had when I was pregnant with you." She told me to walk over to me and rubbed my back. I sigh and look up at my mom, tears still rolling down my face. "Momma, you don't understand... I had a dream that she passed away... ma, I'm scared." I told her as she whipped my tears away. "Honey, she's not going to die, she's just sleeping. The doctor's going to come in soon, so we can all go home together." She said and kissed my forehead. "I promise you; everything will be okay." Soon the doctor stepped into the room looking at his clipboard. "Well Suki is okay and so is the baby, in a couple months, you'll know the sex of the baby. It is normal to have light bleeding. She would have to stay overnight, so we know for sure everything is okie dokie." He said without looking up from his clipboard and walked out of the room.

Whaat? My baby girl must stay overnight. Then it is not okay! This is bad!

"Austin? Austin!" My mom yelled at me to bring me out of my thoughts. "Don't start a panic attack okay? It is going to be alright. It is one night, and it is almost over. I'll take you home so you can sleep for school tomorrow, and I'll grab Suki some clothes for tomorrow for school if they let her." My mom said, I just nodded, too exhausted to argue with her. I kissed Suki goodnight and told her, I will see her tomorrow then mom took me home, grabbed some clothes and other stuff for Suki tomorrow. I took a quick shower to get the blood off me and put clean pajamas bottoms on then threw the dirty ones in cold water to soak, to get the blood out. I climbed up my bed, feeling empty without Suki by my side. I doubt I will get any sleep worrying about her all night.

Maybe I will take those sleeping pills they might help.

I quickly went into the kitchen to get those pills. I went back to my bed, closing my eyes and falling into a dreamless sleep. "I love you Suki." I said before I was knocked out cold. I fell out of my bed as my alarm clock screamed at me to wake up. "Shut the fuck up." I screamed back as I turned it off.

Damn, that always scares the hell out of me.

I walked into the kitchen all dressed for school and all freshen up too. I set my phone on the kitchen table as I cooked me some breakfast, sitting down with a plateful of eggs. Wonder if Suki is awake now, I hope she will come to school, she never missed a day of school. It will be weird without her at school with me. My phone buzzed as I got done with my eggs; I picked it up and it was a text from my mom:

(Mom)Suki's awake and feels better.

(Me) That's good, tell her that I love her.
