Chapter Thirty:

‘I want to go and see her’ I whispered, not being able to speak any louder because I feared that I might cry. ‘Please, don’t tell Jacob I’m here…’

‘Just go straight through those doors and then the yellow door on your left’ Dr. Cullen directed. ‘Edward has already told Jacob that you’re here-he understands you want some space so he’s waiting in the car park’

I nodded slowly again. I followed Dr. Cullen’s directions and went through the yellow door. Mum had her eyes closed and her hands rested on her abdomen. There was only one machine that monitored her heart beat and her blood pressure, the nurse that was in there was sitting in the corner of the room.

‘I have to stay in this room until she…goes’ the nurse said to me before continuing to read her book.

Mum opened her eyes and smiled at me. ‘Adie…darling, come here’ she patted the empty space on the bed, I slowly made my way over to her and laid down on the bed next to her, I rested my head on her pillow and held her hand.

‘Why didn’t you tell me?’ I asked, crying already. ‘I would’ve understood’

Mum smiled and just simply shook her head. ‘I couldn’t, I didn’t want you to get distracted from your training…I wanted to go through this on my own’

I squeezed my eyes tightly. When she said training, it meant that she didn’t want me to get distracted from my “Avatar Stuff”. I went back in time, to when we were in England and we didn’t have a worry in the world, Mum was healthy and we were at our Grandmother’s house-it was a typical Friday night and we were crowded around the television watching an episode of Eastenders.

‘Oh don’t cry, Adie’ Mum whispered, taking me out of my thoughts and wiping my tears away. I opened my eyes to see that she was still smiling, she was always to brave.

‘I still keep thinking that this is one of your pranks’ I mumbled, resting my head on her shoulder.

Mum laughed as she reminisced in her head. ‘I’m hoping this is a prank…’ I hugged her, I didn’t want to hug her too tight because anyone with eyes could see that she’s sick and fragile-I was too selfish to notice that, too into becoming an Avatar.

‘So when you went away for the weekend, what was it really for?’ I asked, crossing my legs and holding both her hands.

‘To have a scan and see what the lump really was…I’m sorry Adrienne, I didn’t tell you-I just couldn’t’ Mum sighed, frowning.

‘Don’t be.’ I blurted out, forgetting that the nurse was in the room. ‘I can heal you’ I added, remembering what I did with Jacob, it might take a lot of energy because it’s violent cancer I’m dealing with but it might take little longer.

‘No’ Mum hissed, leaning forward so our conversation could be unheard. ‘I’ve accomplished everything I wanted to in life, You, Winning an award for my paintings and lots of other things-It’s my time to go, Adie, You know my faith and what I believe in, If God decides it-God is right’

My bottom lip trembled. ‘I don’t want you to die…I’m going to be alone’ New, Fresh, Warm tears started streaming down my face-gallons of them-I couldn’t stop it, Mum tried wiping them away but she couldn’t.
