Just Another Emo Love Story

Chapter 3

I waited outside for what felt like a long time, I was growing really impatient, I looked at the house the boy and that little girl went into, and saw the boy staring at me looking concerned, I mean I would be too if you saw someone standing outside looking like they're having a panic attack with tears streaming down their face.
I looked away and waited a while more before taking my phone out of my pocket and texting Joe.

Jessica: Where are you???

I put my phone back in my pocket and looked up at the window again to see the boy holding a note pad with words I couldn't make out from here, I made a motion telling him I couldn't read it, he held up one finger and left the window.
What the hell...?
Next thing I knew I saw him come out the front door of his house.
"Are you okay?" The boy asked quietly.
In front of me stood one cute looking boy, he had jet black hair, snake bites, and a Hollywood undead band shirt on, he had bright lively green eyes.
"Yea I'm okay." I said wiping my tears away only to have more fall.
"You don't look okay..." He said.
"And you don't know me so." I snapped and instantly felt guilty for snapping at him for caring.
"Well my names Blake." He said holding out his hand.
"Jessica." I said not taking his hand. Blake pulled his hand back awkwardly.
"Well now we know each other, what's wrong?" He asked.
Just then Joe pulled up in the driveway.
"I have to go sorry." I said turning away from him.
"How old are you?" He asked.
"I'm 16." I said.
"See you at school tomorrow then." He said as I heard his retreating foot steps.
I walked to the car and jumped in, "Take me to my mother." I said.
Joe looked over at me and nodded.

We arrived at the hospital in ten minutes.
He rushed right past the receptionist and I followed him to where my mother was.
She looked really pale, there were needles all over.
"Mamma...what's wrong?" I asked.
"I don't know honey, I really don't know." My mom broke down sobbing, and I ran to her and I pulled her up in a really tight hug.
"Jessica, hun could you go get your mom a glass of water?" Joe asked.
"Ummmmm yea sure." I say leaving with tears streaming down my face.
As soon as I left I heard Joe talking to my mom.
"You do know what's wrong Maryanne, you have a really weak heart and you could die at any second, she needs to know this, she needs to be prepared for what could happen instead of being left in the dark, keeping this from her will cause more damage than good, Jessica deserves to know." Joe said softly.
"I know she deserves to know, but she's gone through enough, she doesn't need to know that she could lose me at any moment, her father walked out on us, I've seen the pain she hides, I just don't want to add to it, she hides everything behind her behaviour." My mom replied sobbing softly.
I'd heard enough I left to get her water. She doesn't want me to worry, so I need to act like I didn't hear anything, I need to be the best daughter she had until....until....the end.
I lean up against the wall and slide down, I curl my self into a ball and sob softly.
I remember that day at the park when I was only 5 years old, all those smiles and laughs slowly disappearing right before my eyes, I've made myself so isolated since my father left, my father taught me how to play piano, violin, flute, and guitar. My mother had taught me how to have fun, how too cook and clean, she's helped me with my school work she was always there, and now everyone is leaving me, my father left me, and now my mother is leaving me too, Joe is just a stupid little step in, after my mom is dead he's probably going to kick me out.
I shook my head roughly and got up off the floor and headed back to my mother.
When I stepped inside my mother was sleeping and Joe was putting on his jacket.
"Where are you going?" I asked him angrily.
"I'm taking you home, you have school tomorrow....can you get yourself up and and too the bus stop on time?" He said.
"Yes I can get up and get to school on time." I said taking one last look at my mother and left the room heading to the parked car.
