Behind The Fog

PROLOGUE

It was another normal day, it was raining heavily and my brother and I were watching a movie waiting for our mom to get back,  she said she would be here in a few minutes so we were enjoying each other's company for a while by enjoying I mean having a little argument.

My dear brother wouldn't  stop talking during the movie

" stop talking,  I want to know what they are saying, " I covered his mouth only to be poked by him the next second,  we were poking each other when the front door opened revealing a soaked woman.

" hey mom,  why didn't  you take an umbrella you know it's  been raining for three days now , " I state walking towards her,  she didn't  say anything and I saw her face  it was really pale.

" are you okay?, " Drayton asked speaking for me.

" yeah,  yeah I'm  just a little tired due to all the work I've  been doing,  don't  worry, " she said with a weak smile and her hand on my shoulder before going to the kitchen.

" okay just get some rest, " I said with a small smile that my mom gladly returned. I went back to the living room with my brother and plopped down on the couch holding my blanket to warm me up, when I heard a glass shatter,  My brother and I quickly stood up and went to the kitchen and found our mom on the floor with a broken cup near her

" Mom ?, Dray call an ambulance, " i said holding my mom's  hand. Few minutes later we went with the ambulance to the hospital we had to stay  in the waiting room,  Dray  was tapping his feet on the floor for a long time and I was fidgeting  the only thing going on in my mind right now was the situation we were in,  I had thoughts like,  ' what if she doesn't  wake up?, ' what are we gonna do then, ' but, I  had a little hope in me saying everything will be fine but all that hope was gone when the doctor walked towards us with a frown.

"Is everything ok?, " Dray asked. The doctor looked at both of us then at him with his mouth in a straight line.

" I'm  sorry she's gone, " he said making me bury my face in my hands,  then I looked up
" what happened to her?, "

" she had a fever for a while maybe almost two weeks,  she didn't  take treatment so the fever was getting worse and there was swelling in the head so her body just couldn't  handle it anymore,  she didn't  have enough money do the treatment. , " he explained and I felt like fudge, she had been tired a lot recently and Also having headaches. I looked at Dray

" why didn't  she tell us she was sick?, " I asked him but he didn't  say anything it was like he was in deep thought. I should have done something,  maybe she would still be here

" since there's  no one to take care of  you here so we were able to call your father and he will be here soon, " the doctor said and I just noticed he never left,

" can we.. see her?, " I asked and he nodded,  Dray entered before me I sat on a chair next to her and held her hand and Dray held the other.

"Why didn't  you tell  us we could have helped you?, " I whispered crying softly while Dray put his head in her hand. Why didn't  she say she had money problems. I mean we could have found a way, I sobbed quietly holding her hand. Two hours later we were on a plane heading to Colorado,  throughout the whole plane ride I didn't  say anything more like I couldn't  I just lost my mom and moving from home all the way to Colorado.

Two hours later we got to the town where my dad leaves in.

" welcome to old springs., " Dad said whilst opening the door to his house.
