JUST HAPPINESS

Dying

My life has not really been like other teenagers, who in high school have about 3 to 4 boyfriends or even more than that.

I wasn't like that. I mean, it's not that I don't want to. But I don't have enough time for boyfriends, with me having a sick mother and with school life being hectic.
My mum has lung cancer. They said she won't make it...

But I don't want to believe it. She's my mum, not to mention the only family I have. Well, the only family I have ever known.

My father, well... I had brought him up in the past with my mum. But she would always find a way to avoid the conversation, talking about something else that would cross her mind.

I remember the day she got sick. I was 17 at the time.

I didn't want her to worry and stress, so I stopped asking about my long lost father.

For over 9 long months now, I have not really been myself. I used to be described as many things before. Funny, Jovial, outgoing, you name it. But things have changed now, and I have changed along with them.

I don't have friends, or even a boyfriend. It's always been just me and my mum, against the world.
When walking though the hospital hall way I always think that maybe, I mean... Maybe one day... I'm going home with my mother.
I open the door looking at her. She was wearing the hospital gown loosely, white with a little bit of brown along with green stripes. As always, her trousers looked as pale as ever.
"The daughter of the most beautiful woman on earth is here" I said with all but fake happiness.

She was sitting up, just looking out of the window like a lost sheep. She turned and looked at me, half of her face was it's original shape. Her deep blue sea eyes with hint of green had changed into a drastic yellow. It was as if she was begging for death itself, her beautiful long thick brown hair had faded into nothing.
It was then that I knew ....... my hope of ever going home with my mother was gone.

My mother was dying.
