Cher's POV

"Bye mom! Have a good day at work!" I yell to my mom from upstairs. "Bye hun!" she yells back. I hear the door shut and start going back to my painting.

*2 hours later*

The home phone starts ringing and I run downstairs to pick it up real quick. "Hello." I say. "Is this Cher Smith?" a deep voice asks. "Yes. May I ask who I'm speaking too?" I ask confused. "This is officer Brad. Your mother, Andrea Smith, is in the hospital." The officer says. "Ok I'll be right there." I say hanging up. I run to my skateboard since I don't have a car. I skate down to the hospital and run inside. I run to the front desk to the lady. "Andrea Smith?" I ask. "Room 439." she says. I run to the stairs and run up them. I finally get to her room and walk in. My mom lays on the bed with 2 nurses surrounding her. One of the nurses looks up and walks over to me. "What happened?" I ask. "There was a shooting at her work," she says, "she was shot in the gut twice." "Is she going to be ok?" I ask. She opens her mouth to say something but shuts it real quick and shakes her head 'no'. "So your going to let her die?" I ask tears spilling from my eyes. "There is nothing more we can do. She already said we could. We are pulling the plug in 15 mintues," she says. More tears fall while I walk to my moms bed. She turns her head and smiles. "Hi sweetie." she says. "Where am I going if you are not going to be here?" I sob. "You are going to go live with your father in London," she says. "But he doesn't even know who I am." I say. "The doctors are calling him now." she says. The nurse I was talking to earlier comes in. "Its time," she says. "I love you mom." I say. "I love you too," she says. I sob some more. "give this to your father. Don't open it." she says handing me a envelope. "You ready?" the nurse asks. I grab moms hand and we nod are heads 'yes'. In seconds the meter goes straight and starts beeping. I start crying harder hugging my moms cold body. A doctor walks in. "Ms.Smith." he says. I look up from my moms body. "You are going to have to go home and pack your stuff. Your father will be there tomorrow morning." he says. I nod my head and put the blanket over my moms head. I walk out of the room and into the elevator. I click the ground button and it starts going. I go to my skateboard once I get out. I skate home with the wind blowing in my face. I get to the house and walk in. I go to my room and grab some suitcases. I grab all my clothes except for the clothes tomorrow. I fill one full suitcase of clothes and shoes. I grab all my drawings and paintings and fill them all in 2 suitcases. I grab all the family videos,scrapbooks,and photo albums an stuff them in a bag.The rest of my stuff I put in a suitcase. I put them all by the door and go back up to my room. I go over to the cage which holds my 2 ferrets. I carry the cage out to the door where the cases are. I go back to my room and lay down in my bed. I soon fall asleep with tears falling down my cheeks.
