Lovesick

Chapter one - Tomorrow

'Good Morning' It's another day, another 24 hours of complete irritation. 

I head on to the bathroom and brush my teeth, and get myself looking like a member of the society again lol. My mom would always have breakfast ready for me by the time i get downstairs, And my dad would be on the couch watching manchester city ; his favorite soccer team while my mom screams out his name until he comes sit on the table with us and talk about our plans for the day, my little brother would only whine about video games and my mom would always give me a goodbye hug before i head to school, everyone was happy.

But that was before

2 years ago

'Livia' said my brother

'Yes david' - 'don't forget to bring my back my lunch money after 4th period, i need it' 

'okay' i said and smiled.

Hours later ..

we walk out of the gate waiting for dad, since he usually picks us up. 

And there he is, we get in the car 

'mom?' I said

'You guys don't seem happy to see me' mom gives us a funny stink eye

'ofc we are mom' david said, 'we always are' i followed. 

'How was school?' mom asked, 'it was great, i finally tried the new milkshake they had in the cafeteria, and i'm never going a day without it ever again' - 'David you can't have milkshakes everyday' i said, 'yes because you could get sick' said mom- 'sick plus i gotta use the money to get my lunch right after i finish the first lunch' i winked to piss him off. David's always been my optimistic little bestfriend, I honestly don't know what to do without him.

Mom drops us home but stays back in the car. 'Mom, where are you going?' i asked

'just to get groceries , we ran out of milk and sugar and you know how your father can't live without that' she said with a grin.

'well then i'll come with you' - 'it's getting pretty dark, and you just came from school, are you sure?' - 'yep' i said.

We go to our daily go to supermarket, everytime mom would come here she's always go to the beverages section and get her favorite drink, Vimto. Yes, you heard it, Vimto.

'Livia could you get the rest for me' 

'sure mom' I walk over to the other side of the store for the rest of the things in the list we needed, Everything was playing well -

Until , I heard a noise. A gunshot. 

Mom, mom was all i could think about. I ran as fast as i could dropping the things i was carrying to the other side of the store, everyone was heading the opposite direction with panic and fear, some injured and some with blood. But i didn't see my mother in the crowd, My heart kept beating faster and faster, My world was falling apart. My mother. My mother was on the ground, with her eyes closed and white shirt covered in blood. I ran to her and carried her with every strength i had, I ran outside screaming for help until a few people helped me get her to the hospital, She was losing a lot of blood, I wanted to check her pulse but i was too afraid to know what it'll mean. We got her to the ER and all i could do is wait. 

It took hours and hours, and all i could do was sit on the chair and look at my dad's phone number and think of how i could tell him. I didn't know how i could tell him that the life of the love of his life is in danger, i didn't. My stomach kept turning and my hands kept shaking and all i could see was the image of my mother. A little while later the doctor came out of the ER, and i didn't want him to tell me anything, i just wanted to bring my mother home and take care of her again.

he looked at me with, sorrow. But i still had hopes.

'I'm sorry' 

And my whole world tore apart. I was never gonna see my mother again. She won't be here tomorrow. Anymore.
