Tanners P.O.V.

(Point of view)

My eyes gazed upon her sleepy body as it set in: she was dying.

I looked to my little sister, Maggie, who had tears streaming down her cheeks, then to my dad who had totally spaced out. My sister, my mom, and I were the only things he had; if she was gone, a huge piece of the puzzle would be missing.

I sat beside my crippled mother, stroking her pale cheek which had not seen the sun for quite some time.

"T-.. t-tanner...?" Maggie whimpered.

I turned to her expressionless.

"Ya, mags...?"

"Why does this have to happen to us"

I looked down as a tear escaped my eye. She turned and walked out of the room.

My dad slightly turned his head to watch her go but remained neutral. He then looked back at his ill wife and sat in the plastic chair next to the hospital bed.

I sighed. This was horrible; visiting my mom day after day, watching my dad stare at her depressingly, having to tell Maggie everything will be fine when I'm almost certain it won't...

I ambled to the doorway, glancing over my shoulder one last time before exiting.

Maggie was sitting on a bench down the hall, hunched over, weeping quietly. I walked at a extremely slow pace, each step dragging as if I were a zombie.

Once I got to her, I sat down next to her without saying a word. She laid her head on my shoulder.

My heart ached; just 2 years ago my mom was full of energy and loved to exercise. She would go on jogs at least 4 times a week and take Maggie and I to the park very often. She was always on her feet, always helped out the kingdom, and was ALWAYS happy.

Over the next year, she slowly bn to change. She would only go out for a jog 1 a week, sometimes none. She seemed sad, even when the sun was out and she had her morning mug of coffee, which were her favorite things. She was tired and achey all the time and almost always had a cold.

She eventually became healthy again. She was feeling great and actually started to jog again; but 5 months ago, things took a turn for the worse...

She would wake up in the middle of the night to intense cough attacks, spend hours vomiting, suffer extreme migraine's, and, in some cases, wouldn't eat for days at a time. It got so horrible, she became hospitalized 2 months later. She's been there ever since...

Our family is torn; my mom is the anchor that kept us aligned. Without her, we didn't function right. My dad was spaced out and was just going through the motions of live, acting like a ghost all the time.

Maggie didn't play with friends or toys anymore. She was failing at school, not grades but behavior. She would yell at her friends for little things and ignore the teachers instruction. Maggie was always silent at dinner, never ate her food and barely drank water. She cries now more than ever.

And life wasn't too good for me, either. I was always disconnected from my dad and my sister would never talk to me anymore. I visited my mom everyday, destroying my social life; but I don't care, I will NEVER care. I love my mom too much to care about a stupid social status, but to my "friends", it apparently did matter. They quit talking to me and wouldn't invite me to anything. They claimed I was "disconnected" and wouldn't talk to them! My mother was in the hospital and none of my friends even care! And not to mention, my best friend had just left the kingdom, possibly for good, so now I had to go without 2 of the most important people in my life.

My life was crumbling around me.

No friends, no dad, and with every second my mothers life was slowly slipping away from her... and I know that if her time ends soon, my family will never be the same.
