Different type of love

Kodie pov

We were on our flight nearly there and I was nervous yet excited. I was nervous because in the back of my mind I was thinking about John, but what made me most nervous was the fact is that I'm not sure of whats really wrong with my mama, the doctor only told me that she was beaten badly, But there was more that he didn't want to say over the phone...I'm hella worried right about now and if Mililani wasn't beside me I would've been spazzed out. But I am very excited to see my mama and now not have to worry so much.

"What ya over there thinking about?" Mililani said breaking me from my thoughts

"Just hoping it's not something really serious, ya know?"

"Yea, I'm sure she's going to be ok, just have faith...."

Faith....wasn't something I had, I stopped believing in faith when I was younger and I always prayed and believed that everything was going to be ok....but as you can see that didn't work

"I know what your thinking. Just remember this, god puts his strongest soldiers in the toughest battles, he would never put you through something you couldn't handle." She said but I could only stick to my own beliefs

"Ight" was all I said to her

"All passengers please put on your seat belts we are now about to land" the voice said over the intercom and we did as told and within fifteen minutes we were off the plane and in the back of a uber on our way to Roper Hospital and my leg was shaking so bad that Mililani literally had to hold it down

"God Kodie calm down I'm sure everything's ok."

"But what if it isnt?!" I whisper yelled at her

"I didn't tell you the exact reason we were here. My mama is in the hospital in a coma now because they had nearly beat her to death. That's all I know...the doctor said there's more but they'd rather say it face to face...I don't know what to think at this point what if it really serious like cancer I can't lose her Mili! She's all I ha-"

"Stop it. Your stressing yourself out, now I'm not sure what's gonna happen or what they're going to say but, don't think so negative ok?" She was right I needed to calm the hell down. I had been so damn stressed this past week it's crazy, and the shit with Rae only made it intensify. I don't know what her deal is but I won't have to worry bout that any longer.

"....we're here." Mililani said and all that calm down shit just went right out the window. We grabbed our things which weren't much just our back packs and Mili's purse, swinging them over our shoulders we made our way into the building and up to the receptionist desk

"Hello how may I help you?" The lady said with a smile

"Uh what room number is Mrs. Shane in."

"Who are you to her?"

"Her daughter Kodie shane" She typed in a few things and handed me a visitors pass

"She's in room 416" she said giving me a sympathetic smile as if she knew already. 413....414...415....416 stay calm....stay calm.

"You ready?" Mililani asked

"Yea." I said gripping the fresh flowers I had just bought from the gift shop. Shakily pushing the door open I finally laid eyes on my once beautiful mother, but now I couldn't even recognize her. She a bandage wrapped around her head from her chin to the top of her head, tubes were down her throat, she had several IV's in her skin, and her beautiful face was ruined. Its been a week and you could still see some swelling, she had two blackened eyes, a busted lip, her nose looked slightly crooked, and a large gash under her left eye that trailed down to the corner of her lips that was stitched up. She looked like she was in so much pain and discomfort. And it's all my fault...none of this would have happened if I stayed at home with her, I knew she was unfit to look after herself but still I chose to leave her here with these psychopaths. And now she's suffering.
I couldn't cry...I couldn't do anything, move...anything. I was stuck
