I need to go to New York.

The whole world seemed to fade around me.  Sun doesn't feel warm. The bed is just crumbled and cold.

*Beep Beep Beep*

The phone ring breaking the silence made me jump, chills still running up and down my body. I pick up the phone, to see  Mom calling me. I answer.

"Hi mom."-my voice is still low and tears are still rolling down my cheeks.

" Sweetheart, what's happening? I called 911, is everything okay?"  - Her voice was fast and loud. She was scared.

"Yes, yes, I'm okay, but Emma,.."

*Crack*
My heart gave another shutter on its already broken pieces.

" Mom...Emma cut herself again..and I-..I don't know if she wanted to.."- tears started falling without a stop.

"..Die"- came out as a whisper.

"Okay, (y/n), I will be at yours in 10 minutes, wait for me." She hanged up.

"I can't lose her. I can't. I cannot lose her," i heard myself say. But but it came out mumbled and mom already hanged the phone, leaving me muttering this over and over again to the empty room.

After seemed like forever, my mom entered the apartment and now, held me in her arms as I still cried.
When breathing become easy, and strays of tears stopped coming down my face, the only thing I can say is-

"I need to go to New York." came out gruff and determinate. This was the only thought in my head. I was scared. But I know this is right.

"But honey, you have 3 days left of school, you can't miss that. Your attendance." she seemed concerned.

"I  already wrote all the papers, and passed the tests. This week is meaningless." I stood up. My knees almost folded of weakness, but I held upright.

"(y/n), well.. " Mom was biting her lips nervously.

"Mom. She's alone out there. She will see no one, but a doctor next to her bed when she wakes up. I need to be there." My hands were on my chest. The heartbeat felt so distant.

"Okay, but, what are you gonna do?" she raised an eyebrow and stood up "You will be there for 12 days, if including spring break."

"I will look after her. God knows when she will be let out of the hospital. Or her parents will come to her, you know them, " Mom nodded " And, I'll live at hers, taking care of Lucky. Also, in free time, will take photos... for my course work." I turned to the window. " New York is a nice city as they say. Also, it is good for contrast to London. The work will be appreciated in University" I turn and look at my mom, she was thinking.

"Okay..... okay, sweetheart, you can go." she exhaled heavily. "But please, take care of yourself, and don't forget to call me once in awhile, okay?" she smiled, but I could see the worry in her eyes.

"Thank you" - I exhaled. - "Thank you.."

I was lucky enough to catch a flight at 10:00 am. The flight had to be  seven hours, but because of the wind, the flight shortened to 5 hours. Which meant I will be in NY at 10:00.

I wanted to be there for Emma.  I had to be.

I quickly packed my bag with clothes I wear most, and also all the essentials. On the way out of the apartment I again assured Mom that everything will be okay and I will be back in no time, I promise.
