It was around twelve and I heard my mom saying goodbye bye to some guy,yep no surprise there she always goes on dates.She opened my door and started yelling again"For your fault I didn't look hot!!" "How's  that my fault!" "Because you put my cute shoes and pants somewhere and I was going to wear them damn it you always ruin everything you little brat!" "You ruined my life you idiot!".I was so mad I started yelling."If I ruined your life then why did you do it with my 'dad'!?!" "Because we were in love!" "Yea if you guys were in love then we're is he then!?" .She came over to me and smacked my face.It was the second time she's done that,the first time was my back.I never told anyone.I got up I had tears streaming down my face.I put on my shoes got my jacket and my phone and called Leo,thank god he gave me his number."Hey what's up?" "Can we take a ride I'm at the corner" "Yea I'll be there".I hung up and sat on the side walk tears still streaming down my face.Leo finally picked me up "Why are you crying what's wrong?" "It's just something...with my-mom"I said between breathes.I told him to take me to Central Park my favorite place.When we got there I still had tears coming down.Leo opened the door and helped me out the car.He gave me a big hug and I felt a little better.We sat down at a bench."What happened?",He asked "My mom and I had an argument" "Why?" "For some stupid reason,we always argue we never got along".I say crying."S-she sma-smacked my f-face"I stuttered because I never told anyone this not even my best friends they only new we argued a lot.But somehow I felt safe and trusted  Leo even though I only known him for a day."Wow I'm sorry"He hugged me again,I buried my face into his chest."What about your dad?" "I never met him all I know is that he has another family"I said with my face still buried in he shirt."Yea..my dad left when I was two it's just me and my mom but she has breast cancer".I looked up at him and we locked eyes."Wow I'm sorry".His eyes were watering."Yea she's been diagnosed for eight months"He takes a shaky breath,"The doctor said she doesn't have much time to live..the cancer is slowly spreading"A tear came came down his face then two and then more.He was so adorable I couldn't stopped looking at him.I gave him a big bear hug"Don't worry okay she'll be fine",he put his head on my shoulder and I felt his warm tears."Will she really be okay Hazel?".I didn't know what to say so I just sat there hugging him as the tears dried from my face.He hugged me tighter then letted go.He gave me a smile "I never tell anyone about my problems but I feel like I can trust you Hazel even though I've known you for one day",then he hugged me again and put me on his back and was running around trees.I couldn't help but laugh.Then we fell on a pile of leaves and just talked not even caring about the time.We just sat there and told each other everything about us including all our problems.I checked the time it was five till two.I told him to take me home and on the way we were telling jokes and singing to music like maniacs.I arrived at home and he walked me to my doorstep."I'll see you in the morning and don't worry about your mom"Leo said as he hugged me I didn't want to let go of him.We said bye to each other.I entered the house and went straight to my room and fell asleep.
