"I'm sorry to say this, Charlie, but your mother passed away from a car crash."
My principal's words echoed through my head as I was plopped down on my bed, blankly staring at the ceiling with only one thing in my mind. I was all alone now.
Sorrow suddenly crashed down my chest and it hurt so much like nothing I've ever imagined. Tears started forming in my eyes and I let them fall freely not giving a care. The woman who took care of me all my life was not here anymore. What am I supposed to do now?
I angrily got up from my black sheeted water bed and stood up only to pace around my messy floor. I took big furious steps, kicking clothes and school items that were scattered around my not so noticeable gray marbled floor.
My Mom died. She passed away 20 minutes after saying goodbye to me as I went to school! What if I hadn't gone? I could have saved her!!
I was getting even more frustrated as the time flew by and I couldn't take it anymore! I needed a release. So I punched my poster filled wall and ended up hurting myself. But instead of feeling the usual pain, it was pleasurable. It helped take my mind off things a little. Just a fraction. But not enough.
I slumped down on the ground and ended up sitting on my school bag. I rested my head on the wall and let the tears fall down my face.
She didn't deserve any of this. I don't deserve any of this. We were a family with many problems but still we managed to carry on. So why. Why did god have to take her away?
She was all I had. She was all I needed. Why did the world have to be so cruel? Why?!
Suddenly, I let out a gasp of air as I could not breathe so properly anymore. My breaths came short and it felt like the world was slowly dying down.
Oh no. I got too angry and now my heart might have another malfunction.
I slowly got up and almost fell at the attempt but I quickly caught myself. I staggered towards the cabinet beside my bed and I made quick movements to take the pill on top of it, which I left in case of emergencies like right now. As I was about to snatch it, my breathing was slowly coming to a halt and my vision as blurring. My stomach and chest hurt from the lack of air and fresh new tears were forming on my face.
I won't make it.
Dropping down on the bed, panting and choking for air, I slowly reached a shaking hand towards my chest to try and ease the pain. I was surprised, however, when something cold and metallic touched my bare skin.
The locket. The one that my Mom always wore and kept secret from me. The exact same thing that she had begged my principal to give me before she fell into her last peaceful moments.
Everything was getting blurry and I slowly grabbed the locket and held it in front of my face. I opened it and was expecting a picture. But instead, smoke filled my vision and I could see a deformed shadow through my hazy vision.
The shadow slowly leaned towards me and I felt the bed dip around me. I could feel the shadow's heat by my left ear and I heard a feminine voice gently mutter out a few words to me in a silky and seductive voice.
"Make a wish." she whispered, making me shiver even though I was sweating like crazy from the loss of oxygen and the pain.
"I-I wish t-t-to l-live." I managed to gasp out and my vision was turning gray. Then slowly darker and darker. And just as I was about to pass out I felt something soft touch my lips. Was she...kissing me? I didn't have the energy to respond but that didn't matter because she pulled back after a few seconds. Slowly, I blacked out. But not before hearing a faint chuckle that came along with the words,
"Your wish is my command."
