WARNING: CONTAINS VIOLENCE

I woke up and walked outside of the hotel room onto the balcony. I found out something last night that I really didn't want to know.

My mother died in prison. She snuck in heroin and was using again. She overdosed two nights ago. I don't even like my mom. Why do I even care that she died? She was an awful mother. If she raised me, I would not be who I have become. I would probably be living on the streets while taking care of my younger sisters. I don't understand why I care so much. She was barely my mother.

I am sitting on the balcony of my hotel room so I put some music on. Music calms me down so hopefully it will help me. I put G-eazy's radio on pandora. I hear someone open the sliding door behind me and I turn around and it was my little sisters becca, riley, and paige. My "mom" stood behind them. I instantly hug all of them.

"It's going to be okay." Paige whispered into my ear when she hugged me.

"I love you." I squeezed her harder.

I really missed them. I'm glad they are here to be with me. I really needed them right now.

Ethan walked out on the balcony behind my "mom".

"Can we get some privacy?" Ethan asked.

My sisters and my "mom" walk back into the hotel room leaving Ethan and I alone.

"I heard what happened. Are you okay? You don't have to talk about what happened yesterday if you don't want to but I am here for you no matter what." Ethan blurted out.

"Ethan. I'm not okay and I don't understand why. She was an awful fucking mother to my brother, my little sisters and I. I don't want to bother you about any of this. I will leave if you want me to." I started to tear up.

"You are not leaving me. I love you Hailee Elizabeth Smith. You are not bothering me, you make me happy. I've never been this happy until I met you. I don't deserve you. You are a great person. You are strong, kind, funny, and you have the best smile and laugh."

I jumped out of the seat and right into his arms. Once I reached him, I started to cry. I laid my head on his shoulder and cried for fifteen minutes. I felt safe in his arms. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

"My birthday is tomorrow and I don't want a party." I said.

"What? You need a party right now."

"Whatever you say. I love you." I said.

"I love you too."

Becca came out on the balcony and saw that I was crying. She hugged me and she started to cry. We knew what she was like and we are both sad right now. Paige never knew her. Paige was birthed in jail. I was 7 years old when she was born. My "mom" now adopted her right away so she wouldn't be with my mother.

We both let go of each other. We walk back inside and see Emma playing with Paige and Riley. They looked happy and I'm glad they never knew her. My childhood was awful and they are having a good one. I watched my mom deal and do drugs. Many of times, I was held at gunpoint. My little sister was almost killed one time and now look at her. She is a beautiful, great person.

We go to a restaurant for dinner and sit in a huge booth. My whole family, ethan and emma were there. I sit between ethan and becca.

"Ready to order?" The waiter with blonde hair asked.

Paige got up from the booth and headed to the bathroom.

A loud noise came from the front of the restaurant.

Everyone ducked there heads but I looked over to see my little sister bleeding out on the restaurant floor. She was laying on her stomach while blood was gushing out of the middle of her back.

I pushed through all of the people and jumped at paige. I grabbed her wrist to try to see if she had a pulse. I didn't feel anything.

I could feel the tears strolling down my cheeks. There was blood all over the floor. Someone grabbed me off of the floor and I was screaming and crying. Ethan was pulling me to the car but got out of his grip. I ran back into the restaurant and grabbed my dead little sister. There was blood all over my clothes but I didn't care. I wanted to save my little sister. She was full of light and always knew how to make everyone smile.

This has to be the worst week of my life. My mother has died and my sister was killed right in front of me. Tomorrow is my 17th birthday and I don't want to have a birthday without paige. I already miss her smile and laugh.

I throw myself and paige into the car even though she was still bleeding everywhere. My "mom's" car was ruined.

Everyone was crying, even ethan and emma.

I have my music on max in the hotel bathroom while I am in the shower. I can not stop crying. I am washing my little sister's blood off of me.

Someone opens the bathroom door so I tried to stop crying.

"It's Ethan."

"Ethan. Why is life like this?" I cried.

"I don't know. I am really sorry that happened to you. I love you."

I grabbed my towel from the railing and wrapped it around me before jumping out of the shower. Ethan stood there watching me crying. He leaned in for a hug but I backed away. Ethan wanted to go to that specific restaurant and if we didn't go to that one, my little sister wouldn't be fucking dead right now.

I push him out of the bathroom and get changed. I walked right out of the hotel to get away from there. I need to be by myself. All I  could picture is my dead sister. I thought about my mother and how she died. I thought about ethan, i could never get him of my mind. I also thought about my birthday and how she won't be there for it. She was young and her life was fucking taken. I'm turning 17 and she is supposed to be there for it. She is supposed to sing happy birthday and cut cake with me.

I walk around for two hours before going back to the hotel. I stood at the room door and took a few deep breaths. I walked into the room to see everyone moping around. I jump right into my bed and fell asleep before anyone could talk to me.
