~Delirious's story~

(3rd grade year of 2007)

~Delirious's POV~
I watch as giant men in white coats start swarming my mother as they tried to quickly save her. Of course, me being the clueless 7 year old I was, I didn't know what was going on. It was a scrambling mess of running back and forth, a bunch of talking I didn't understand, and my mother having a bunch of things put on her. I don't really remember much, all I knew was my mom was picking me up from school because Cartoonz was busy with a job of his, then a loud crash sound occurred, and now we are here.
I quietly sit and wait. What am I waiting for? I don't know. I slowly rub the mask my mother gave me, saying that I need to wear it in school, so no one could get hurt. She got special permission for me to wear it during school, and people have made fun of me. I sigh and hug my knees to my chest, resting my forehead on my knees.
A few hours turned into a few days, which turned into a few weeks. Cartoonz, Lily, and my dad were all waiting, but for what? What is going on?
I look at my mom, just sleeping on the bed. She's been like that for a while now. I am closely watching the rest of my family as they just watch and talk about my mother. I sat quietly while my mask was on.
----
It has been almost a month since my mother was put on the hospital bed.

Almost a month since I stopped showing my face.

Almost a month since any of my family has really talked.

At some point in time the doctors were talking about 'pulling the plug', but my father refused. I don't really know what they are talking about. I was extremely confused. It was really unnatural for me to be this confused, it wasn't normal. When we got out of a really loud truck that was speeding, they brought my mom into the hospital and I followed quickly behind because I mean, what would you do if your mom was being brought to an unknown location and no one told you what was going on? I did what any normal seven year old would do and followed my mom like a baby duckling to a mama duckling.

I was sitting quietly as some doctors pulled my dad out of the room. Cartoonz was sitting next to me and looked a little nervous. I put my hand on his shoulder to comfort him. I don't think it worked.
A minute later my dad came back in and whispered something into Cartoonz's ear. I saw him grow pale and then he looked at me. "Hey... Jonathan... Uh... I don't know how to say this..." He sighed and stood up. He walked over to my extremely pale mother and waved me over. I followed and looked at her. "You need to say... Goodbye..." He breathed out. I cocked my head, "She's... Uh... Leaving... Forever..." My eyes widen. I wanted to ask, "Where?" "Why?" "Can I go with?" But kept my mouth shut.
I put my hand on my mom's which was on her stomach. I gave it a squeeze before letting go. It was cold... Too cold. Before I turned, there was a small groan. I felt tears well up as I turned around. A few coughs and my mom's eyes opened, "Mom?" I squeaked out, "Hello Jon." I walked to her and looked at her pale face, "Cartoonz said you were leaving..." I told her. My mom nodded, "It's true. I feel very very weak." My mom coughed once more, she turned her head towards me and smiled, "My little baby... I'm sorry I couldn't give you a happy childhood..." I smile, "It's okay..." I said, "Look... There is something I want to tell you about your eyes..." She gestured for me to come closer and I leaned my ear close, "I want you to remember one thing... Your eyes... Don't work on everyone... They don't work on the people you love... And who love you back..." I lean away and nod, "I'll remember it forever." I felt my mom put her hand on my cheek, I flinched.
I backed away letting Cartoonz, Lily, and my dad all say their goodbyes.
After it all happened, I was called back by her. I slowly approached and she had a giant smile.
Tears were running down my face. "Jon... Don't cry... Take off the mask for mom... I wanna see that smiling face one last time..." I did as she told me and took a deep breath as I smiled big and stared deep into her eyes, "I love you mom... Goodbye..." "I love... All... Of you..." She breathed out.
Then her eyes closed and the monitor that wouldn't stop beeping slowly, started beeping a long 'beep!'
Doctors rush in.
We were all thrown out.
Minutes pass and a doctor comes out telling us she is dead.
My dad throws a chair. Lily cries from all the sudden movement. Cartoonz tried to calm him down.
It all was happening in slow motion. All the panic. All the commotion. Security ran in and restrained my dad. I put on my mask quickly and while everyone was caught up in doing something of their own,
I ran.
I ran out of the hospital, out into the street, out somewhere that wasn't there.
I couldn't see through my tears and before I knew it, I ran into someone. I lost my balance and fell. I regained my senses and looked to see the crazy kid who tried to run across a street, "Uh... Hi?" I looked at him and and my heart skipped a beat out of fear and I put my head back down. I stood up and sniffled a little. I got ready to run again, but a hand stopped me, "Yo, dude, you okay?" He asked me. I pulled away, but avoided any form of contact in fear I would hurt him with no intention.
Cartoonz yelled my name from down the street and I noticed the kid grabbed my wrist. I started to struggle to get away, but it was no use, "Uh... Vanoss. I think you should let him go." One the guys suggested, I continued to struggle, Cartoonz was heard again, "Yeah, but someone is looking for him." Vanoss said tightening his grip. " "Does it look like he wants to be found?" Someone questions. I heard 'Vanoss' sigh and instead of letting me go, which is what I wanted, he pulled me behind him and turned around to face everyone, "Everyone form a circle and keep this kid in the middle." Everyone did as they were told, "Talk about nothing." There was incoherent noises being made all around me. Cartoonz got closer and closer, then finally passed. Everyone stopped surrounding me and I sigh out of relief.
"Wanna tell us what's going on?" Vanoss questions me. I felt my panic rise.
