A look at death

LITTLE SISTER

CHAPTER 5

VIOLET P.O.V

I was laying in bed with Daniel. He was still asleep and I was admiring his beauty. My phone began to vibrate and I picked it up. I didn’t know the number. I was afraid to answer at first but did anyway.

“Hello?” I asked into the phone.

“Is this Miss. Brooks?” 

“Yes.” I said. I played with my fingers. “Can I help you?” I asked.

“I’m calling to inform you that your mothers liver gave out last night. She didn’t survive.” Daniel was now awake and watching me. Sobs automatically fell out of my mouth and tears ran down my cheeks faster than light could travel. Daniel took the phone from me while the lady explained to him what would happen. I eventually found enough strength to go to Beau and tell him.

“Beau.” I shook him awake. I barely had a voice. It took a while for me to wake him but  he eventually rolled over and looked at me.

“Whats wrong!” He asked sitting up. I sat down on his bed in front of him. More tears were falling down my face.

“Mom....s h-h-her liver g-g-gave o-o-o-out.” I took a deep breath and wiped some tears. “She didn’t make it.” I said. He frowned and pulled me into a hug.

“Oh god.” Was all he said. I cried into his shoulder. He was crying just as hard as I was. He let go of me and buried his face into a pillow. I couldn’t stand seeing him cry. I went to Jai next knowing that I didn’t want Hayden to see me cry.

“Jai.” I said. I walked into the room and he was already awake.

“Yeah?” He asked. He looked over to me and he saw my red puffy eyes. “I heard you talking to Beau.” I saw fresh tears forming in his eyes and spilled over his eye lids. I ran to him and hugged him. We cried into each others shoulders. Beau came into the room then. He woke up Luke. I looked up to see that Beau’s eyes were getting to look blood shot. 

“What?!” Luke yelled. He didn’t enjoy getting woken up early in the morning.

“Mom died.” Beau said. I didn’t hear a response over my own tears.

“Where’s Violet?” He asked. I could tell he was crying.

“Right here.” I said. He got off the bed and pulled me into hug. My eyes were hurting so bad already. Daniel came into the room and I was shifted from Luke to him. I kissed his neck  few times while he kissed my shoulder. “Come lay with me.” I barely even heard my own voice. He followed behind me holding me. We didn’t even get out into the hall way when new tears were falling from my eyes. He held my head to his chest as I cried trying to shoosh me. I could feel myself slipping into that dark place, and that place scared the hell out of me.

*BEAU P.O.V*

I have never dealt with anything like this before. I knew I needed to be strong for Violet. She just lost the only person who raised her. Maybe she didn’t raise her right but Violet still had a love for our mother there because she didn’t know any better. 

“We need to be strong for her.” Luke said. I wanted Hayden to leave. She always made everything harder because she never really understood what was wrong with Violet and why we cared for her so much.

“I want Hayden to leave.” I said to Luke as we talked in my room. I was making the bed. I wanted mom to know that I cared what my house looked like the first time she saw it. Luke left the room and explained to Hayden what was wrong. I could tell he was chocked up. I wanted to hug him but I knew he needed time with Hayden.
