So after the fall break ended we had to go home but Jayden had to go to California a few weeks early before the surgery , so when he drops me off, he kisses me goodbye. He says "I know right now we are engaged, but if I go I want to be your husband if you agree with me". I nodded and hugged him while saying "good luck".
Then I ran inside and my mom looked at me in a strange way. Then she looked at my hands. For a second I was confused, but then I realized I have the ring on my finger. She said humorously "what are you engaged? ",I decided to tell her the truth because she is my mother and she needs to understand.

"Actually yea mom, I am... Jayden proposed to me at the cabin". Her face looked seriously surprised at this "what, Stella your so young you can't get engaged your in high school, you can't marry him!". "Mother, I know you think I'm exaggerating when I say this but I love him, and today might have been the last day I will ever see him!... You don't understand anything, you don't even choose to listen to what I have to say anymore". When I said those words I felt tears come down my face and I'm sure our neighbors downstairs heard me yell at my mother. Then I notice my mother look at me with a face that's looks as if she was disappointed in herself.

Then she says "what do you mean you might never see him again if he proposed to you? ". I had forgotten I never told her about Jayden's condition. "Mom, Jayden has cancer...he is going to California early to find a place to stay before his surgery, he could live or". I didn't think I would start crying in front of my mother but I did. She just stared at me not doing anything. Then I just said " I can see you don't even care about me or what's going on, so I'm going to leave this place, I want to live with my mother but you just look like you lost everything already that you don't even care about life anymore. I already have a place to stay and I'll be gone by tomorrow afternoon. I'll go start packing then all she did was pick up her green mug and take a sip of her hot coffee.
