In New York....
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
I groan and sit up in bed to answer my phone. My sister, Paris is calling and I checked the time: 1:50 a.m. Oh my god late night calls always mean something is wrong.
"Hello? Paris are you okay? Oh my god please don't tell me you and Orlando aren't in jail again!" I asked panicked.
"London if you'll shut the hell up I'll tell you and no, we're not in jail otherwise I wouldn't be calling you on my cell phone." Paris stated, irritated by my assumptions.
"Then what's going on?" I felt Jace stir beside me indicating he's about to wake up.
"Mom had a heart attack and it's pretty serious Lon," I hear Paris sniff. "We need you here because you know how dad gets when mom gets sick."
I get out of bed and walk to my closet to pack a suitcase. This isn't mom first heart attack or getting sick and everytime something like this happens my father goes to drinking and when he drinks he destroys.
"Okay Paris I'm packing now you and Orlando stay by mom side and I'll be there as soon as possible." I assure her.
"Alright, be safe and I love you Lon."
"Love you too baby." I hang up the phone and break down into tears forgetting about packing.
Why does this keeps happening to her ? My mother has such a beautiful soul. Over the years my mom has been very sick and this is her second heart attack. When I was accepted into NYU I was hesitant to leave Atlanta, but mama didn't want me to give up my dreams and I wanted to make her proud.
"Babe, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Jace crouched down beside me on the closet floor and pulled me in his arms. I didn't even realize I had slid to floor.
"M-mom had another heart attack," I answered him between choked sobs. "I don't know why this keeps happening to her."
Jace traced small circles on my back trying to comfort me. "Shh....she's going to be fine baby," he reassured me. "C'mon let's pack, so we can go be with her."
Jace picked me up and carried me to the bed and he packed a bag for the both of us. Jace is truly a blessing, ever since we met in college he has been nothing but a sweetheart. He's so caring and loving and I'm honestly in love with him and I can really see a future with him.
"Ready to go love?" Jace asked snapping me out of my thoughts. "My jet is ready for us." I nodded my head and followed him out the door.
Jace's family is pretty loaded because his parents are the owners of WP Computer Company in Atlanta, but he works at the one that's here in New York. Jace's driver opens the door for us and drive us to the airport where the private plane is waiting for us. Any other day I would've enjoyed riding on this beautiful plane, but my mom is in the hospital and I really can't think straight. We get on the plane and I go straight to the comfortable bed and lay down. Jace climbs in behind me and wraps me up in his arms whispering words of comfort until I fall into a peaceful sleep. I dream about my mom. Mom I hope you're okay.
As I get lost in my sleep I hear my phone ring, but my body is so exhausted that I just let it ring until it eventually stop.
That missed call will change my life for the worse.
