Imperfect Match

Chapter Three

 I busted out laughing.

"Faster by the second?Really?"

"Yes, Its kinda like a wild fire so wild that you can't put it out."

"Oh really?"

"Yes really."

"Prove it."

He looked shocked. I was shocked to, at the fact that I was flirting with him. But the look of suprise quickly left his face. It was replaced by a look of luck. He came closer to me and wrapped his arms arounf my waist. He leaned in closely then suddenly he lifted me up off the ground and twirled me. I started to giggle uncontrolobly . He put his hand on my cheek and smiled at me.. I looked into his eyes and my heart froze. I never felt such longing for anybody in my life. Not even Eli. When I look at Eli I feel like the whole world revolves around only us. I leaned into his hand returning his smile. Abruptly he dropped his arm. He leaned in close and said,

"Dont want to get in trouble now do we?"

He then straigtened up and waved.

"Bye Storm"

Then he walked away. 10 seconds later Eli walked up to me. How did Zach manage to leave right before Eli showed up its like he was planning on leaving me dazed.

"Hey Angel."

"Hi Eli how was your day?"

We were'nt even half way out of the school and he started talking about himself. Ugh sometimes he can be so self centered.

"And Rasheeda was like no way! And I was like ye-"

"ELI!"

"What?"

"Um this is my house."

"Oh I didnt even notice."

"Yeah so see you at church?"

"Yeah I hope."

He hugged me goodbye I didnt even wave like I usually did when I got to the door. I wasnt even paying attention to Eli the on the way home. Zach was consuming all of mt brain cells.

My mother was sleeping soundly when I walked into the livingroom. I hated that I had to wake her up so she can shower, change and eat. Suprisingly there was not mess. She was so sick that she lost all of the color from her skin. I tapped her gently.

"Mother its time to wake up."

She didnt budge . I started to shake her. 

"Mother wake up!!!!"

I yelled. No, no,no,no,no, this cant be happening. Shes not dead, shes not dead. No, not after daddy just died. She cant leave me like this! I started to pound on her chest. 

"MOTHER WAKE UP!"

I grabbed the house phone and dialed 911.

"911 emergency how may I help you?"

"Please help my mother is unconsious."

I gave them my adress and hung up the phone. I dropped to my knees.

"Please mommy, PLEASE dont leave me. Not like this. Mommy you cant go!"

I started to brush the hair out of her face.

"You just cant, I love you."

I started to bawl. I just felt so vulnerable. I didnt know what to do. My mother isn't  the best but shes still my mom.

Just then the paramedics bust through the door with a stretcher. They put her into  the ambulence and I went in behind her. This was going to be a long night.
