Safe (Nate)

Sometimes we just need to feel safe and know that there's always going to be someone that's there for you...

Days have gone by and I haven't heard a word from anyone about how my moms doing.

I pulled an already packed suitcase from under my bed and was already buying a ticket.

My phone rang in the middle of punching in my card number. It wasn't sister.

"Hello? Hey...is she okay?" I heard soft sniffles on the other line. The tears burned as I tried to hold them back.

"No..." my sister choked on a sob and tried to finish her sentence.

"Yesterday the doctors said she would be fine but this morning...uhm it was like she went into shock. We heard loud beeping coming from her room. Everything was at peace and we were all happy and the tears stopped until all the nurses started running to her room. She died. She had a heart attack and nothing worked. They tried the defibrillator but nothing worked. She gone."

I couldn't process what was going through my mind.

"Mommy? A-are you sure"

"Yes. I have to go. Kimmy hasn't stopped crying since this morning"

When the phone went silent the tears started coming. My vision was blurred as I fell to the living room floor.

I wasn't their with her. I thought that my job was too important right now.

"Y/n?" I couldn't look at Nate. My chest started to tighten and my heart hurt.

"Baby I got the call from your sister. I'm so so sorry. I'll be here for you and I'll book you the first flight out of her"

I wasn't listening to anything he was saying. I still couldn't believe that my mom was gone.

"I wasn't there for her, I didn't hear her last words, I wasn't holding her hand when she took her last breath. I'm a horrible daughter and a horrible person. I'm selfish and I only think about what I want!" Nate pulled me in close.

"Baby girl please listen to me. Your mom knows how hard you work and she's proud of you. She knew that you cared a lot about her and that you were alway on her mind, always checking up on her trying to see if she's okay. You're not a horrible person and your the best daughter ever. These tears needed to be free. Your mom was strong and so are you. You will go on with life and your mom will always be watching down on you, she's gonna be watching you when you get married, when your first baby is born, every step of your life your mom has been there and she's going to be there the rest of the way. So am I. Please be strong for me and we'll get through this"

I wiped my eyes but my fingers were still wet. I'm going to get this and I wouldn't be able to get through this without him.

I'm safe right here in his arms.

It's sad. I almost started crying when I was writing this.
