Senior year

Chapter 15

I get to the hospital at my mom is standing at the door waiting on me.

"What's wrong? is it harry? dad? you?"

"It's your cousin, Maddie."

My moms niece, Madison, we call her Maddie. She is sixteen, she's a beautiful brown haired girl with blue eyes. We've been close since we were little. She was my first best friend. Then her mother (my moms sister) was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer. Maddie was really close to her mom, and her dad died before she was born. Sadly, after Maddie's tenth birthday her mother, Liza passed away. It was a sad time for our family, my mom was really close to her sister. My mom hasn't been the same since. She moved in with my aunt Julia (moms oldest sister) and lived there ever since. I haven't seen her in months, maybe a year.

"What's wrong with her?"

"She was in a car accident"

"And?"

"And they don't know if she'll wake up" I've never seen my mom cry like this before. Maddie is like her own daughter.

My mom, after she had me, miscarried twins. Boy and a girl, they're names would've been Eli and Marisa. That's hey she's so close with Maddie.

"I don't understand" I started crying, too.

"Me neither." Mom said as she slid down the wall on to the floor.

I sat down with her and we just sat in silence.
