it didn't take long for the ambulance & police to arrive. they carried out my mom onto the ambulance. i don't know wat clicked in me but i ran pushing people out of my way till i got to her. i began screaming trying one last time to see if she'll wake up & tell me everything's gonna be alright but nothing.

some paramedics tried to grab me but i didn't budge. i probably looked like an insane person but at this point it didn't matter i just wanted my mom back. but i knew once i seen the paramedics & policemen holding me back taking her away with pitiful, solemn faces that it was over.

i sobbed harder if possible than i already had. just then i felt someone arms wrap around me. i instantly knew who it was.

"oh sweetie everything's gonna be alright. im here now" she whispered rubbing my back trying to comfort me. "it h-hurts P-at-tie" i deepened my face into her neck as my voice cracked. "i know, i know but it'll get better i promise okay? what do you say you go inside & begin packing your stuff since your gonna move in with me while i sign a few papers? sound good?" i just nodded not trusted my voice as i hugged her tighter to show my appreciation for what she was doing for me. she gave me a faint smile as i began walking inside.

as i was about to finish packing i noticed my guitar under my bed. i bended down to get it. once i got it i took it out of its case and repositioned myself onto the bed. i began strumming the strings and began to sing.

yes, i do

i believe

that one day i will be the

where i was

right there

right next to you

and it's hard

the days just seem so dark

the moon & the stars

are nothing without you

your touch, your skin

where do i begin?

no words can explain

the way im missing you

deny this emptiness

this hole that im inside

these tears

they tell their own stories

told me not to cry

when you were gone

but the feelings overwhelming

it's much too strong

can i lay by your side?

next to you ( ohh )

you ( ooh )

& make sure you're alright

ill take care of you (ohh)

i don't want to be here

if i can be with you tonight

im reaching out to you

can you hear my call?

this hurt that i've been thru

im missing you

im missing you like crazy (oohh )

told me not to cry when you were gone

but the feelings overwhelming

it's much too strong

can i lay by your side

next to you ( ohh )

you (ooh )

& make sure you're alright

ill take care of you ( ohh )

i don't want to be here

if i can be with you tonight

lay me down tonight

lay me by your side

lay me down tonight

lay me by your side

can i lay by your side?

next you you ( ohh )

you ( ooh )

i strummed the guitar one last time letting the note fade as i wiped a tear that fell onto my cheek.

just then i heard a knock on the door. "estrella sweetie are you ready?" Pattie asked. i cleared my throat "yeah.. yeah im ready" i replied. i set my guitar back into the case & grabbed my luggage. i opened the door to see her talking with someone on the phone.

"okay... we'll be there in a minute... yeah... thanks" she said into the phone hanging up. "that's our call, the driver is already outside. do you need any help?" she said referring to my bags. i shook my head declining her offer. "no thanks, i'm fine."

the trip to pattie's home was silent and remorseful. "we're here ms. Mallette" "thank you Jeff" she responded. "Jeff could you please take ms. Grayson's stuff up to the empty guess room next to Justin's?" she asked although there was no need since he is supposed to anyways.

for a slight second i almost forgot Justin Bieber - yes the world famous pop singer - was the son of Pattie. my mom & Pattie were very close friends. but the time they spent together slowly decreased when my mom began to do drugs due to David's abundance. David also happens to be my dad but he left to early to be even considered a father figure. anyways, even thought they stopped talking Pattie was always like a second mother to me. 

"yes ms. Mallette, anything else you would like for me to do?" Jeff questioned as he took out my bags from the trunk. "no thank you, after you take ms. Grayson's bags you may have the rest of the day off." she answered as she motioned me to go inside the house. i don't even think it'll be considered a house probably more as mini mansion.
