I'm surrounded by officers, they are all asking me questions, and I forgot about my mom being passed out.. what are they going to do with me...
they took my step dad away and he's going to jail, he will be in court In 4 days and if he loses the case (he better) he will be in prison for a year. but that's not long enough... he will come back. and kill me, I know it. fear trembles through me like an earth quake and a lump forms in my throat but I just swallow it and worry about what's going on now.. my mom.
they are shaking her and she won't wake up.
they call an ambulance and look worried, I couldn't hear what the officer was saying on the phone. I don't know why they are taking her, she always passes out. an officer comes up to me while I sit on my my couch flittering around with my thumbs.
"is that your mother?"
asks the officer. his voice is deep and clear.
"yes, sir?" I ask
"well your mom has had a drinking issue and has been doing drugs, did you know that?" he stares at me like I did something wrong. if I tell him yes he might get mad, I don't know what to say, he probably knows the answer by looking in my eyes.
"no" I lied.
"we'll age has, and lately it has been pretty bad apparently, because she's dead, we will take her to the hospital for further examination. sorry for your loss."
he's not sorry. he walk away without a care in the works. my gut just twisted.
she's not just passed out this time she's dead. my mom is dead. i never realized about how bad it was getting and that she needed help. it's my fault. I start to cry. I run to my room. away from all of the officers. I sink to the floor, she's gone. my parents are gone. I'm an orphan now. she can't be dead she can't. what will they do with me? I'm only 16 I can't stay by myself? am I going to another family. she can't be gone... she just can't...
