"Hurry up and pack". I heard Chris say while shaking me.

"Why"? I asked groggily.

"Just do it"! He yelled making me jump out of bed.

His eyes were red and puffy seeing him like this made me sad. He has one of one of those faces when he's sad it makes you wanna cry too. He handed me a suitcase, so I headed to my closet getting clothes. I wonder what's wrong I never seen him this sad he's always happy. I filled it getting my toothbrush brushing my teeth then putting it in my bag along with smell goods and soap. I changed my clothes heading downstairs with my stuff.

"Come on". He mumbled walking out.

I followed covering my eyes when the sun hit my face. We hopped in his car putting our stuff in his trunk. When the car stopped I noticed we were at a airport. Yea something must be up. We headed inside and I looked at my surroundings.

"Can I get two tickets to Tappahannock, Virginia". He said.

Virginia? Why we going there? I was so confused right now but afraid to ask questions.

"Flight will be ready in 1 hour". She said handing us the tickets as he paid.

"Chris". He looked at me.

"What"? He mumbled.

"What's wrong"? I asked sweetly.

"My mom...she's in the hospital they said she's in pretty bad shape..I just don't know what I would do if she died". He said quietly.

I rubbed his back. "Just put your faith in the Lord and he'll make sure she's okay".

He nodded. I gave him a hug as he hugged back sighing deeply. It's weird seeing him like this. All sad but I understand though, I lost my mom a couple years ago I cried so much and did not eat for weeks it broke my heart seeing her go, I really don't have anyone she was all I had left to be honest and I still miss her wishing she was here. That's why I'm not really tripping about being kidnapped anymore I'm fine no one's back home for me anyway doubt they noticed I'm gone anyway besides my job. I sighed laying back in my seat. I looked at Chris who had a blank expression staring ahead of him.

"Flight to Virginia is taking off in 5 minutes".

We stood up heading towards our gate. Once we boarded the plane Chris got us first class I sat back relaxing. Chris still had a blank expression. I closed my eyes decideding to sleep through it.

"Hazel".

"What". I groaned half sleep.

"I wanna talk".

I opened my eyes as I heard Chris voice. "Yeah"?

"What if she don't make it".?

"You can't think like that Chris".

"It's hard not to you have to think of the possibilities".

"Well don't think of the possibility of her dying think of the one of her living I know she would not want you thinking like this,think of the best outcome".

"I guess but I'm so scared, she's my everything she got me to where I am today".

"I know Chris, it's going to be okay".

"How do you know"?

"Cause I have faith something you need to gain right now".

He gripped my hand. "I hope she's okay".

"I know I don't know her but I know how it feels to loose your mother and it's not a good feeling".

"Your mom died"?
