The Last Battle

Chapter 2

Some times I like to think about my mom. She was a beautiful woman with Brown hair and brown eyes just like me. But unlike me, she always had kindness in her no matter how angry she was she would always go about her day in a very positive way. That's what I admire about her so much. She was a great mom and great woman.

"Be strong" I say to myself out loud.

I force myself to fight away the tears.

"Don't think about her death."Stone says from across the room. He says it so vaguely that I want to slap him upside the head.

"Easy for you to say you weren't there" Then I sprawl out on the couch I was sitting on and sob. Then Stone comes over and wraps his arms around me to comfort me. I sob into his shirt even harder now because I'm having a flashback of her death.

It was Saturday and mom said she was gonna take me to the store to get me some more cloths. We decided to take the subway that day to get there. Then, as soon as the subway train started a man across the subway pulled out a gun and open fired. My mom was quick to act. She pulled out a gun from her coat and shot it in his direction while shielding me from the bullets. She turned around to say something and as she did the bullet went into her back. I could see the pain in her eyes. Then, with her last breath she told me I was strong. As soon as the man had shot my mother the subway train had stopped from someone pulling an alarm trigger causing a rapid holt. There was chaos everywhere and the man that shot my mother escaped, while I was hovered over my mothers lifeless body crying harder than I have ever cried before.

My brother looks up at me with sad, mournful eyes.

"I know I will never understand.......and I... I am so sorry"

"It's ok." I say to him faking a smile.

He gives me one more hug then gets up and leaves the room leaving me alone.

For four years I have had so many questions that have been unanswered....... and now I will finally get those answers.
