The Last Wish | H.S

Chapter 2.

3 days after the "news"..
I'm sitting in my room, not really having the energy to move, both physically and mentally. Mom's been trying to get me out of my room, but I just couldn't.
The past three days I've spent on crying, and crying and guess what? Crying. I thought I would never be able to stop, but eventually.. I stopped. And now, I just feel completely empty. I was suddenly interrupted by my mother calling;
"Laura come downstairs, I want you to help me cook the dinner" ugh I have cancer couldn't she just leave me be and let me die in peace? But no, even though I was sick, I still had to do my chores. Whatever I went downstairs.
"Laura honey, I know you're going through a lot right now, but the doctors said it wasn't healthy for you to be alone, and ever since we got home you been in your room. And alone.. so I thought we could do some cooking together?" Mom said while giving me a big smile. "Sure mother, what are we going to make?" I said rolling my eyes, " I thought we could make your favourite meal, beef with potatoes and sauce?" "yea, that's a sounds good!" I answered, though I really didn't feel like eating.
I know she was trying to make me happy, but nothing, not even food could make me fell any better. Maybe just one thing, but that was impossible.
After we ate our according to my mother, 'outstanding homemade dinner', I went up to my room.

I jumped on to my bed, and took my phone out of the charger. I didn't have anything to do, so I decided to go on Twitter and just go through some tweets.

One Direction had just tweeted something about their world tour, and that their next stop would be Michigan. Wait.. I live in Michigan. But that means that they will I...."MOM!!!" a lot bang could be heard from downstairs, and my mother hurried up to my room, "omg baby what's wrong?! are you okay, should I call an ambulance- " she was totally overreacting.
"Mom, calm down.. No I just wanted to tell you that 1D is coming to Michigan, and like you know my biggest dream is to meet Harry and see them all in concert" she let out a deep sigh, and I could tell that she was relived that I was okay, but then suddenly her eyes became bright and a tear left her eye "Oh honey that's great news, but I'm really sorry but I don't think we can afford it sweetheart, you know, all the extra money goes to your medicine and treatments, I'm so sorry honey, you know if I could I would buy you the ticket and even buy you meet 'n greet I believe it's called so you could meet that guy, but I'm sorry we just can't afford it right now". My smile slowly faded, and I could se my mother was heartbroken.

Ever since my father left us, we haven't had that much money. We could barely keep the house, but my grandmother helped us, she took care of me when I was a baby, so my mom could go to work, and when I got older I took a job as a dogsitter, and I walked dogs and gave the money I made to my mom.

I don't know where my dad is, or if he even knows that I'm sick, but one thing I know for sure, is that he doesn't give a damn about me or my mother, he probably wouldn't even care if he knew about my illness. I have no love for him, he let me and my mom down. I don't know that much about him. Every time I try talk about him, mom always changes the subject to something else.

"Mom, it's okay, I'll just go some other time right?" "Of course honey" she said even though we both know that it was never going to happen. "I love you, sleep tight baby" mom said and kissed my forehead "love you too, goodnight mom."

I could never sleep, not even before I got sick, mostly because I was always on Instagram or Twitter stalking 1D, and now after I got sick it got even harder for me to fall asleep.

I felt kinda thirsty so I decided to go down to the kitchen and get a glass of water. When I was in the kitchen I heard sobs coming from the living room, I tiptoed to the door, that separates the kitchen and the living room, and there my mother was, in the couch, crying her eyes out.

She never really cries in front of me, cause she's trying to be strong, but I knew that deep inside, she was just as heartbroken as I was. I can't blame her, her husband left her, and now she's probably going to loose her one and only child. I felt sick to my stomach just thinking that if I died she would be all by herself, what was gonna happen to her? I went upstairs to my room, and tried to sleep, but it was hard, I had so much to think about..
