The Pumpkin Princess (Jay love story)

Family Disaster

(Jessica's P.O.V)

Sunday was Family Day. The only day I was happy about because that was the only day when Mom and Dad were able to come and spend the day together... I hope. Like I told my friends, my mom has depression and BAD things happen when someone's depressed. So the only I'm worried about is if she hurts herself to the point where she loses a lot of blood and if she'll be able to come. I was in Remedial Goodness 101 with the others, hoping Headmistress will give us an assignment so I can forget my worries. 

"Children, as you all know, Sunday is Family Day. And since your parents can't be here due to it... distance," she chuckled, nervously before moving on, "we arranged a special treat for you all but first, Jessica, I need to talk to you. It's about your mother." When she said that, my jeart shattered. While the others were talking to their parents, F.G. wanted to talk in the hall. 

"What's going on?" I asked her.

"Your father told me that she won't be able to come to Family Day. She cut herself from the wrist up. Your father found her passed out in her room on the floor. She's in the infirmary, the n a coma. But I made sure that you'll be able to see her before her time is up."

I looked at her, shock and confused at what she said.

"Before her time is up? What does THAT supposed to mean? What do you mean before her time is up?!?!" I asked as tears fell down my cheek.

"We don't know if she'll make it out Al very or not right now. Believe me Jess, I wasn't expecting this news either, but that's how life is, it's unfair, I know."

I wasn't even listening to her anymore. All I felt was sorrow and confusion and rage rising in me from head to toe. I couldn't believe It. I ran into my room and fell into my bed, not careing that I was making my sheets wet, sobbing hard. The thought of losing my mother made this situation worse. I cried and cried until I fell asleep.

                    (After be my depressing moment)

It was later that day and I was still asleep that I didn't even hear Ben and the others enter the room.

"Jessie?" Evie said. "We heard what happened. I'm so sorry."

"It's fine. What could you have done, anyway? I should've seen that s coming. I asked just want this day to be over."

"You wanna us to stay with you for the rest of the day?" Jay asked I looked at him and gave him a sad smile.

"You guys don't have to. Thanks for the offer though." I answered. They all sadly smiled at me and left. Jay sat on my bed with me, need to looking at me.

"I'm sorry about this. I know what it's like lost ng someone you love, wishing you could spend more than me with them. I let my mother because of my father. When he was with her, he was here, in Aouradon. But he never loved her, he only wanted to bear a child that can do her s dirty work. When I was little, I heard my mother and father fighting. My dad was wasted and my mom was trying to calm down. But it went too far. He grabbed his gun right next to him m and shot her. Her lifeless body was right in front of me. Her dead eyes were staring at me. I wanted to run away. Even now I still remember her dead eyes staring at me. It's been haunting me. And now, I see her whenever and wherever I go. The don't know why," he explained as tears ran down his cheek.

I was shocked. I understand he was wasted and a villian but damn. Murdering your wife in front of your kid?! That's when you know your went too far. Something I didn't tell the others, I can see, feel, and her spirits (because I'm from Halloweentown).

"That means she's watching over you. Watched ng how you make friends,how you treat them. I talked to her," I told him. "She says that you loved me and you didn't know how to tell." He looked at me, blushing. I giggled at him.
