3)Turn of events

      I went upstairs and just watched Netflix until it was 11:00, I had a long day and I really just wanted to go to bed.

I was getting ready for bed when my phone lit up. A text from Luke.

Luke: 'Just checking up on you, if you're not in bed already go to bed!! See ya tomorrow, xx'

Me:' jeez, I didn't know you were my mo-'

     Then it hit me. I erased my text.  I don't have a mom, a step mom, nothing. I have no female figure in my life to look up too. Well, other than Luke's mom and Celeste, his brother's (jack) girlfriend. They are really my only true family right now. I was never really close with my dad even though I hadn't had problems with him. He's having problems with himself right now. His health isn't the best and now that step mom died he is probably gonna hit it with the bottle just like he did when my birth mom died. Or so I was told, I was too young to remember so these are just things I hear from my sister.  I'm not very close with my older sister. She took my mom dying the worst and ever since she isolated herself from me so we never grew a bond back. I was 1 and a half when my mom died, she was 15. We are 14 and a half years apart. I'm turning 16 the coming year in grade 11 and she will be turning 29. I can see why she wouldn't want to hang out with me. 

    I had no one. Only Luke, so being in  a relationship with him right now, may not be the best thing. I just don't want him to find someone else.

LUKE'S POV

      I stared at my phone, waiting for her to reply. Maybe she was in bed already, maybe I reminded her about her mom when I said get to bed, I really hope I didn't. She lost not one but two mothers within 16 years of her life. No one deserves that. I would so want that to be me instead, of course I don't want my mom to die, then my dad re-marry and then my step mom die and. Holy. That was a mouthful. But I just want to take away her pain. I really wish she just opened up more. I need to know how she feels to help her.

     "Luke, go to bed you have school tomorrow. What Jess is going through isn't your problem, we all care, but you can't have sleepless nights because of it." My brother Ben came in the room and told me. The oldest is always the wisest.

   "I didn't know you were Mom" I replied sarcastically.

    "Hey you know how many people wish they had brothers that cared about them like moms?" He chuckled slightly.

"Yea, yea I do."

JESS' POV
*the next day*

~7:00am

    Why did I always manage to wake up so late? I had 45 mins to get ready before Luke came by. It's dueable. I walked downstairs to see my dad sleeping on the couch. Probably was watching the News and fell asleep. I put some bread in the toaster and ran back upstairs to do my hair, which I just brushed through pretty fast, and put on some mascara, I didn't wanna over do it today. I got my uniform on and went downstairs to eat.

*10 mins later*

    I was brushing my teeth when I heard the door. I ran down to answer it but my dad already did.

  "Thanks I will let her know, but it doesn't have to be right away does it? He was only a friend of hers and so much has been going on." I hear my dads voice saying.

     My heart is beating out of my chest. He? Friend? Luke is the only 'he' or 'friend' in my life. Please please please just be sick with the flu.

     "From my understanding it was more than just a regular friendship Mr. Di salvo, I think she has the right to know." An unfamiliar voice stated.

"Ok I appreciate it. Thank you officer."

     I run downstairs and spit the toothpaste that has been sitting in my mouth into a flower pot we had on an end table in the hall.

   "What the hell was that about?" I say with clearly evident fear and anger in my voice.

     "Jess, I'm so-"

    "Where is Luke? You know damn well I don't want pity I want answers!"

"Late last night, Calum called him and on his way over there, there was an accident. He is in the hospital getting some emergency surgery done and if he makes it, he will be kept in the hospital until he feels 100%."  My dad says without saying sorry, knowing I just freaked out on him for doing so.

I feel the tears form in my eyes

    "IF he makes it?" I say, voice shaky.

    Looks like Luke was right, I won't be going to school today.
