Nicole's POV:

I came home and rushed myself inside... I felt an urge to see my mom... Shane silently trailed me from behind... I pushed back everything and tried my best to look normal..

Our home wasn't the same... the smell of sweet tea and assorted flowers, the smell of delicious waffles, pancakes are all gone... the lively ambiance turned into dull... my heart sunk that it would never be the way it used to be...

I gently turned the knob and cracked the door slightly open, making sure I don't make any noise. I let myself in and Shane just stood on the doorway and watched me approach my mother.

She was laying down on her back.... her eyes was firmly closed.... her favorite rose blanket we're all over her, covering her body... hands are on her side.... I looked around but her nurse is no where to be seen..

"Mmm-mom?" I silently called.

No response from her....

I slowly sat down on the bed right beside her.... and took her hand on mine.... I looked down and watched her chest...

"Momma.... " I called out again. Squeezing her cold hand. Tears freely flowing down my face.. I felt an arm wrapped around my shoulder. I didn't pay attention to look who's those hands belong to.

Still no response from her...

"Nooooo!!! Mom..... momma no please..." I cried and shook her lifeless body.

"Nicole...." the only word that comes out from Shane's lips. He is trying to pull me away.

"Nooooo..... let me.... she's not dead...." I cried as I'm pushing his arms off me.

I placed my palm on her chest and started to pumped her ... trying to bring her back... I go down and blew an air to her mouth then desperately pumped her again..

"Mom come back..... come back for me please.... please please please PLEASE come back!!!" I shouted..

"Nicole..... she's gone!" Shane said.

Anger we're all over my body I stood up and faced him... how dare him!!

"Nooo!!!! She's not dead...... fuck you Shane... don't tell me to just accept that..... because you don't know what I am feeling right now......!!!! " I'm screaming on his face and started to shoved him out of the room..

"Please Nicole.... your mom is in ---" I slapped him.

"LEAVE!!!!!... " I shouted

"Nico---"

"I said LEAVE!!!!! Just fucking leave us aloneeeeeee!!!" I'm shouting like crazy... pushing him hard towards the open door.

Shane trying to hug me.... his hands strongly gripping both of my wrist.... pinning me up but I felt so numb... I didn't feel the pain he's giving me by keeping me still... with all the adrenaline rushing through my body I was able to pushed him and made him stumble down to the floor... and I took the chance to close the door and locked it.

"Nicole..... baby open the door please!!!" Shane shouted outside.

"Noooooooo..... leave!!!!" I shouted back.

I turned around and went back to my mom's bed...

Crying....

Sobbing.....

"Mom... please wake up... please don't leave me" I pleaded as I brushed her hair with my hand.

Shane kept on banging the door... asking me to open it... but I remained sitting on the bed.... brushing mom's hair and her cold cheeks..

"I know you can still hear me..... I saw your husband with a woman earlier..... how could he do that to you?" I said while crying.

Watching her dead body silently praying that she would stand up after hearing the news about her husband.... But she didn't....

I laid down beside her, my face burried at the crook of her neck and my arm was over her chest...

"Mom how would I learn to live without you? How would I learn whenever I came home you we're no longer here waiting for me?" I cried whispering to her ears..

Few more minutes I felt something cold air washed over me... I felt a weight in my eyes that made me to shut them close..... and fell asleep....
