Waking up to the sound of my alarm on my phone.

I open my eyes, they are still swollen from yesterday. I don't even remember what happened after I ran out of the hospital. All I know is that my mom just died. She DIED.

I don't know what to do with my life anymore. She was my everything, my life.

I want her back...I want to feel her warm hugs and her amazing smile she always gave me when I came home from school. And when I needed her for comfort she was always there for me.

When wasn't she?

These thoughts just made me start to tear up again and I run to my bathroom.

I stand infront of my sink and I look like a mess. My hair is all messed up, my face is swollen from all my crying.

"You look beautiful, Adara."

That's what my mother would tell me....I shut my eyes  and look away from the mirror.

I rinse my face with cold water to help me feel refreshed, but it doesn't help. I still feel the same, lost...lost in this world.

That's when the smell hits me...it smells like maple syrup and pancakes.

In confusion, I leave the bathroom, get dressed, I don't care how I look today, brush my teeth, and went down stairs to check in the kitchen.

Maybe my mom didn't die after all.

Stop joking with yourself Adara, you heard what the doctors told you and you saw what happened last night.

As I enter the kitchen, my mind flashes back to my mother helpless on the floor clutching at her chest with the broken glass bowl filled with salad on the floor right next to her.

Fear and sadness fills inside of me. That's when the voice breaks my thoughts.

"Hey Adara, I heard the news about your mother this morning. I'm so sorry my dear..."

It's Janely, my mother's best friend. They have been friends since they can remember.

I can tell she has been up for a long time and her red eyes tell me that she has been crying not too long ago.

"She was the most amazing woman ever, I can't believe this happened." she tells me with a break in her voice.

I don't know how to respond because I'm about to tear up again.

All I do is walk into her arms and just cry there. Letting her hold me up, her hugs are nice, but not as warm and wonderful as my mother's.

My mother. This makes me cry more again.

Until I hear Janely say:

"Oh dear! My pancakes! Sorry Adara I was trying to make you pancakes for breakfast before you go to school."
