It's been 3 months since my father passing. My mom isn't taking it very well. She seemed fine at first, until after the funeral something changed in her. She never talks to me anymore, but an hello in the morning, and a goodnight before we both go to bed. I haven't spoken to Elijah since the hospital. He calls me at least 4 times a day, and leaves me voicemails but I never answer. He's even showed up to my house and knocked on the door for 30 minutes, because he knew we were home. But neither me or my mother answered. I'm too scared to face him. I've been having my emotions trapped away for months since my father died. I know if I see him he'll try to talk to me about it and I know i'll break down, and that's the last thing I want to do right now. I just want to move on with my life. I sit in the floor of my room, leaning against the side of my bed. I'm so fumbled in my thoughts, i'm staring to feel slightly insane. My thoughts drifted to my mother so I got up and walked to her room. I stood in the doorway and stared at her. The sight of her made my eyes tear up. She laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling with tears in her eyes. I walked to her and grabbed her up and laid her in my chest. She immediately started to sob "Mama we have to get through this, we can't stay in this place of sadness forever. "We have to move on" I said to her, while rubbing her back. She sat up and wiped her tears " I know baby. You're more than right and I'm so sorry for being so distant and not being there for you" she said while reaching to hug me. "It's okay mama, but we got to get over this together" I said. "Yes we do, but what you need to do is talk to Elijah" and as soon as she said that I froze up. "That boy has been calling my phone nonstop, and I know he's been calling yours too, you need to talk to him and fix things". " But mom-" "No buts, stop running away from your problems" she said. "But weren't you just-" "THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME, now call him.. and tell him to come over i'm going downstairs to cook breakfast" she said while walking out the room and downstairs. Well that fixed quickly, my mom is finally back to normal.. it feels like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. Now all I have to do is fix this with Elijah.
