Yesterday was the day I found out my mom die. I could still feel the pain but there's no more tears left. I slept in my room all by myself while Joel slept in the living room.

I got up from my bed and went to the garage quietly to get my suitcase. Once I did, I went to my room and started packing.

My aunt called yesterday evening and told me not to pack up too much stuff since she's going to take me shopping for new clothes once I get there. Shopping seems to be a great distraction for me. Anyways I got my "Mom Box" from under my bed and put it in my suitcase. Once I finished packing my clothes, I went to the kitchen to make myself breakfast.

"Oh good morning Zandra, let me guess pancakes for breakfast?" Joel said already cooking the pancakes, I nod and took a seat in the living room.

I grabbed the PlayStation remote and put on Netflix. I scroll to see what I am in the mood for. Finally I chose 'Grease' my mom's favorite movie.

"Here you go, three pancakes with syrup and strawberries on top." Joel said as he placed it on the table.

He went back to the kitchen and I followed him. Once he stopped, I hugged him from behind so tight that I could squeeze his guts out.

"Joel I'm going to miss you." I said with tears coming out, I'm surprised there is more tears left inside of me.

I let go and now he's facing me and pulled me into another hug. He kissed on top of my head, "Zandra, starting today, we're going to make these three days the best day's of our lives. We'll be happy."

I'm just going to miss him so much. Like I always said he's been there for me. And in just three little days, he'll be gone, I'll have no more reason to be happy.

"Here lets go eat now." He grabbed the two glasses of chocolate milk and went back to the living room.

Once the movie finished, we finished our now cold breakfast. Joel decided to go to the mall and walk around. I agreed and head over to his house.

"Emanuel could you drive us to the mall please?" Joel knocked at his bedroom door while I stayed behind awkwardly standing there.

"To the mall?" He said while opening the door. He saw me then smiled, "Hey Zandra." He walked up to me and hugged me. I hugged back, no its not awkward, he's like my big brother.

"So will you?" Joel asked.

"I guess might as well get my girlfriend something while we're at it." He said.

Joel smiled and we all went down stairs. On our way to the mall I couldn't stop thinking that this whole time I thought my mom was okay. We arrived to the mall and we got out of the car.

"Okay we'll meet here at 4 pm." Emanuel said. We nod and went in our own direction.

"Zandra where do you want to go?" Joel asked.

"Um I don't really care." I said without energy. I guess Joel notice because he sighed and gave me a hug. He kissed my forehead and told me not to be sad anymore that life goes on. And he's right life does go on but it's going to be difficult because my two favorite people won't be there for me anymore.

"Here I want to get us something." We went to Clare's.

"Why are we at Clare's?" I laughed.

"Because I want to get us friendship bracelets."

"Your such a kid Joel omg." I laughed.

He then stopped and look at me. "I've been waiting so long to hear that laugh again." I smiled and hugged him.

He bought the bracelets and I bought some clothes. He also bought me things, but knowing him I couldn't stop him. We're now at my house and in my room packing my new clothes. Once we finished we got on top of my bed and turn on my iTunes playlist. The song 'Crazy' from Shawn Mendes started playing. Like always Joel sang to be but this time I recorded him.

"Think I don't need a watch to tell the time
Think I don't need the sun to help me shine
Think I don't need a girl to be alright
Guess I didn't know

That I didn't need shoes on my feet
That I didn't need a bed to fall asleep
That I didn't need love to be complete
Guess I didn't know

That I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me, for me

You're all I think about when I'm awake
Part of every night and every day
And everything's a mess when you're away
Now I know

All of this is getting really old
I'm having trouble sleeping on my own
Feeling like a house but not a home
I want you to know

That I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me, for me

Guess I need a watch to tell the time
Guess I need the sun to help me shine
And I really need you in my life
Now I know

That you give me this crazy feeling
And you won't have to wait no more for me, for me
And I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me"
