Just A Joke

Flashback

August 21, 2009

Dylan and I were watching modern family in the living room. Our mom comes downstairs with tears down her face. She sees me looking at her and replaces her frown with a small smile. I knew something was up but I didn't push it. She comes over to us, picks Dylan up and grabs my hand and says," We are going to leave for a while." Just as she finished her sentence, dad comes down the stairs with balled up fisted.

"Where do you think you're going bitch!" He soon realizes that mom has us in her hold," You're not taking my kids!" He starts to run over to us. Mom let's go of Dylan and hands him over to me and places him on my hips, he was only four so he didn't weigh that much. She screams to run to the car. 

Quickly I go over to the couch and get Mr.Waddless and Ethan, my teddy bears, and did as i was told and ran to the white mustang. I placed Dylan down and opened the right car door lacing him in, putting his seat belt on, and putting my teddy bears on his lap for comfort. 

I knew what was going on. This happens once a week so I'm prepared for what is going to happen. 

I run to the other side and jump in putting my seat belt on and sigh. I look to my left and see Dylan trying not to cry. He's a brave kid. I grab his hand out of instinct and squeezed it letting him know that I'm here. Everything was happening so fast I didn't even realize that mom had gotten in the car, speeding out of the driveway and see the truck hit the car mom and I's side. I hear a scream saying i love you guys before it goes faint. I'm still holding Dylan's hand and feel tears on my chest to see Dylan cuddling into me crying hard with blood coming from his head. I hug back as hard as I can before falling asleep like mom did. 

The next thing I know i'm in a hospital bed, not being the first time being in one, still holding Dylan hand with him sleeping on my left with a bandage wrapped and his head. I looked down to see Mr.Waddless and Ethan on my lap dirty. I hear sobbing to only find out that it was coming from my dad. I ask what's wrong and he says mom is dead. Staying silent once again I only hope to think that all of this was just a joke.
