Forgotten memories

Loss

The bullying continued and he completely hated Skool. He missed hanging out with his friend, but now he really didn't want to see her face anymore. A couple weeks after the incident she moved away. Everyone blamed Nny for her leaving, even though it was because they wanted to be near family.

Nny sat in bed drawing demons and other monsters. He drew Max with a decapitated head, then scribbled it out.

"Hey there kiddo!"

"Hi dad."

"You ok?"

"Yeah."

His dad stood in the doorway looking at him with concern.

"Nny... your mom and I both know something is wrong."

Nny's eyebrows narrowed.
"NOTHING is wrong and don't call me that it's stupid!!!!"

"Don't talk to me like that when I'm just fucking worried about you!"

"I just fell that one day and the other days I was really sick dad!"

"BULLSHIT!!! Someone hurt you!"

"No!!!"

"WHO DID IT??!!"

Nny got up and locked his door.
His dad walked away after about a minute sighing.

After about half an hour his mom knocked on his door.

"Johnny, can you please open up?"

Nny sat back up and sighed.

"What???"

"Please tell us what's going on."

"NO ONE BEAT ME UP!! I fell...."

Silence.

"Ok... Goodnight I love you."

"Night..."

Nny laid back down pulling the covers over his body shutting his eyes.Then he fell asleep.

< LATER >
CRASH!
Nny jumped at the loud sound. It sounded like a window breaking downstairs. After what felt like a minute go by he heard his father yelling. Then his door opened and he started shaking and pulled the covers over himself.

"Johnny... common I'm getting you out of here."

"Mommy?..."
He asked nervously.

"Yes.. common."

"Is dad ok???.."

"I'm sure he's alright."
She said trying to sound positive.

Nny quietly got off the bed and followed his mom downstairs to the door.

"The cops will be here soon.."

"What's going on?.."

Nny's mom looked down at him with a look of pure sadness.

"Someone broke in.."

"IS DAD OK???"

his mom covered his mouth.

"He's fine... I know.. he's got to be."

Then the police car pulled up and they heard glass being broken. Nny turned and saw a tall lanky man jump out and start running the other direction. Nny tried to say something, but nothing came out.

The cops got out and headed inside of the house. They both heard them shouting for the person to come out, but after about 40minutes they came out without a man in cuffs. They did call an ambulance though.

About ten minutes later his dad was brought out by a group of medics on a stretcher.

"DAD!!!"
Nny ran to his dad full of worry and his mother did the same.

"Is he going to be alright???"

"Mam, we don't know.. He's lost a lot of blood. We need to get him to the hospital right now. You can follow us to the hospital."

<At The Hospital >
Both Nny and his mother sat outside of the hospital room waiting full of concern and fear.

"Mrs. Cuevas? Fred would like to speak with you."

His mom stood and went into the room with the nurse, while Nny sat looking at the ground.
He could hear crying coming from the room. He needed to know that his dad would be alright. He needs to come home, make me laugh, read to me, play video games with me, be my dad.. Nny felt tears well up.

Then the door opened and the nurse walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder.
"He'd like to talk with you.."

Nny looked up and got up and followed her in the room. And he stood next to his mom and looked at the man in the hospital bed.

"Hey buddy."
his dad said weakly.

Nny never heard him like this. The worst came to his mind even more and tears slid down his face more.

"Dad... are you going to be ok?.."

"Oh... Nny. I don't know."
His eyes got heavier and his speaking got slower.

"I just want you to know I love you Nny.. You and your mother."

"DAD! Please stay awake.."
His eyes closed.

<A Month Later>
Nny and his mom drove home from the funeral. The whole month after the death of her husband she couldn't leave her son's side. Nny wanted her around as well. She didn't know what to do with work and her son. After taking a few weeks off she asked if he could go with her to her job and they agreed, as long as he was behaved, which he was.

"Mom.."

"Yes?"

"What's dying like? Will I never see dad again?.."

She looked back at him in the rearview mirror and sighed.

"Death is horrible, but he's not in pain anymore. And I believe that one day we'll see our loved ones again in heaven."

"Why would someone kill him?..."

"Sweety...we can talk more when we get home, okay?.."

"Ok mom.."

< A couple of months later >
Nny sat up in his bed. It was a minute away from turning 3am. He felt odd, like something just was off. He quietly got out of bed and headed for his mother's room. She wasn't there.

"Mom?.."
She didn't answer.

He worriedly wandered around the house searching for her.

Then he turned the knob of the bathroom door and saw her.

His mom laid unconscious next to a bottle of pills.

She was acting worse, but he never expected her to do anything like this. He fell to his knees beside her body and tried shaking her awake.

"Mom please...."
He pleaded shaking her arms as tears began to fall.

"I need you!... You can't leave!! Please wake up!!!"
He gave up and wrapped his arms around his mom and cried.
