I know the cover look scary :( only thing I could find

ok let me start by saying hi, I had this idea and I don;t want it to go away and I started writing it in my notes on my phone and I let my friend read over it and she said I should post it so here it is enjoy :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aaliyah pov: "I love y--" my mom whispered before closing her eyes and her monitor making that single line and that high pitched beep noise. I have heard that sound one to many times. The grip she had in my hand loosened and the nurses came in and rushed to her side. they declared her dead at 2:47 am. They escorted me out of the room and I went and cried in the waiting room. But I had nobody to comfort me and tell me "everything's gonna be ok" all I got was stares from the other people in the waiting room. My mom was diagnosed with cancer about 4 years ago and she was doing fine until about 5 months ago that's when everything went downhill to the "point of no return" the doctors liked to call it. My mom was my best friend, my back bone, the reason I smile, the reason I don't fall into a deep state of depression she was my everything. Her name full name is Aaliyah Alica Osborne. She was beautiful inside and out. On the outside she was light skin with long flowing black hair and a smile that could light up the whole room. She was a unsigned gospel singer she had a beautiful voice that I loved to here. On the inside she was one of those people that always tried to make everybody happy and would love to be the source of your happiness. I have never seen my momma frown. But that person that was laying in that hospital bed was not my mom. That lady was a frail lady with pale skin and hair loss and I refuse to let remember my mom like that. People say I'm the splitting image of my mom and everyday I see a little bit more of it. My dad? He died when I was 15 and I'm a single child. My parents were happily married for 14 years. So I'm a 15 year old with nobody but me against the world. I wasn't old enough to drive so I have nothing at all. Then I heard a pair of heels click into the waiting room and they stood right in front of me I looked up and a lady was their "are you Aaliyah?" she asked. I shook my head "yes" slowly "I'm your half aunt Keisha and I will be your guardian for now on" she said. I looked behind her at the nurse for confirmation and she nodded her head "yes" I stood up and she hugged me. I didn't hug back because I didn't know this lady. How come I never heard of no half aunt Keisha but I reluctantly walked out to her black Range Rover  

(that same day earlier) 

Keisha pov: I was listening to the boys record their new song Future (let's pretend here) and then my phone started ringing "oh oh oh oh ok Lamborghini mercy, your chick she so thirsty I'm in that two seat Lambo with your girl she tryna jerk me" I answered "hello?" I said "yes is this Keisha?" a lady on the other hand answered "this is she" I said and sat down in the spinning chair they had in their "this is Memorial Hospital (random name) and I'm sorry to inform you but your half sister, Aaliyah Alicia Osborne has passed" she said and paused. Their was a pain in my heart when she said that. I have only met m half sister a couple of times but those times I met her where some of the best times of my life. "also she has a daughter with no guardian and you being her half sister, she is now under your  guardianship" the lady finished off. Dang, I already have 4 boys how am I suppose to take care of a girl also. "ok I'll be there in a few" I said and hung up. I slipped on my heels I took off and I interrupted the boys "guys I have to run some errands I will be back later on today, don't wait up for me" I said into the mic that lets them here what I am saying "ok" they all said and I drove to the hospital. When I got there I went up to the front desk and the nurse pointed to a girl sitting in the corner of the waiting room with her head in her hands I walked up to her and studdied her she lifted her head up and she looked like the splitting image of Aaliyah it was actually quiet scary. "are you Aaliyah?" asked her she shook her head a slow "yes". "I'm your half aunt Keisha and I will be your guardian for now on" I said. I said that over in my head and it didn't sound so goo, oh well. She stood up and I hugged her but she did't really hug me back but  don't judge cause if a complete stranger said "I'm I'm your new guardian"  would have done that same thing. We walked out to my black Range Rover and we went to her house. I tried to make conversation with her but it was No use because she was giving me short answers so I just left her alone.

Aaliyah pov: I know I was being rude by giving her short answer questions but I am tired and it has been a really long day, when we arrived at my house the tears started pouring again, this house had so many memories of both of my parents. I went to my parents room and sat on their bed and I started crying

(throwback)

Aaliyah pov: me and my mom we're jumping on my bed jamming to Glamorous by Fergie (remember its 07) "g-l-a-m-o-r-o-u-s" my mom sung while jumping on the bed with a hair brush held to her mouth pretending its a mic.

(now)

Aaliyah pov: I felt a pair of hands go around my shoulder and the other one is rubbing my back. The comfort felt good, I whipped the tears from my eyes and said "thank you" and I got up and packed all my stuff when I was done I grabbed the family photo we took some years back and I had 5 bags but I was ready

(with the boys)

Roc pov: we got done recording some time ago it is now 11:45 and Keisha is not back. "I wonder what she had to do?" Ray asked. We all agreed. "I don't know but whatever it is, it takes a long time" Prince said "true, but I don't know about y'all but I'm going to bed" Prod said and walked upstairs

(3 am)

Keisha pov: we planned the whole funeral last night (is that possible?) and we are just getting home. Aaliyah knocked out a long time ago, I could tell she was tired it has been a very long day for her I didn't even want to wake her up to tell her but I reluctantly got up and I showed her to her room and I just put her suit cases and just sat them. I went and checked on the boys they we're all awake except Prod. "what are y'all doing up?" I hissed at them "sorry we just wanted to make sure you're okay" Prince said. "sweet, now go to sleep and I got some one for you to meet in the morning" I said and closed the door.
