I remember the feeling..., how my heart wanted to pop out of my chest. How I taste the saltiness of my tears rolling down my cheeks. How I realized that my world could change in a couple seconds. It was the morning, I felt how the sun touched my cheeks with it's warmth. Birds were singing their songs , and fresh air was going through the crack of the window. I walked down the stairs of my bunk bed step by step. Suddenly I feel the cold ground touch my toes. First, I look at my brothers bed, but I just see a mess when he is just in the living room. Then I gazed the other way, and see my mom sleeping as I thought. I know that being a mom, with two children is hard so I let her be.
I walk on my tip toes as quietly as possible so that I wouldn't wake her up and entered the kitchen. "Good morning sister," my brother said to me while he was in the living room.
"Good morning little devil," I say back with a smile.  My brother as usual is watching YouTube on the computer. I put on my slippers, and go make breakfast for my brother and me. "What do you want for breakfast?" I shouted to him. "Sandwiches!" my brother responds. I open the fridge, and feel how the cold breeze went over my skin. I tell myself, " Okay sandwiches, I need bread, salami, cucumber, and butter."I spread the butter on the soft bread, and put the salami on top. I cut the cucumber and put it besides the sandwiches. Then my brother and I started to eat our breakfast. In the smallest amount of time are plates were empty. Bread crumbs were the only thing left on the plate. I look at the clock and see it's three o'clock already, "Hmmm?" Why isn't mom woken up by now?"
I walk into the room to check on her and suddenly, I thought I'm going to have a heart attack!  I see her back all blue like blueberries! I run and jump on the bed to wake her up. As soon as I touched her, I realize that she was cold as ice, and impossible to budge. Black blood was peeking through her dry lips.
Suddenly I ran into the living room, took my phone out of the cabinet, and almost dropping it out of my shivering hands I called the ambulance. Till I was waiting the phone ring, it seemed that every second was a hundred years.
" Hello? What's the emergency?"
"Hurry! My mom is all blue, and cold. I don't think she is breathing!"
"Okay calm down everything will be alright, what's your address?"
" It's Liepojos g. 4, 27 Klaipeda! Hurry up please!" I was shouting
and crying as hard as I could.
" The ambulance will be there soon just stay calm, and massage
her chest. Do you have any siblings or grownups with you?"
"No, I'm here alone with my little brother."
" Okay, look after your little brother and the ambulance will be there soon."                       " Sister, what's happening?", and trying go to the room I shout,
" No don't go in the room!" Suddenly me and my brother were crying...
Shortly I hear big steps with chunky boots, and Slam! The door opened and I hear how they shouted, " Where is she?!"
I pointed at the room, and they rushed in. But shortly, they came out with sad faces... And suddenly I hear the words as someone would shout them into my ear," I'm sorry, but you're mom passed away."
I dropped on the sofa and started to cry out the last tears that were left. I felt that my heart shattered into pieces , and I realized that my world just changed in a couple seconds.
By that, my whole family found out the tragic news, and in a bit of time I hear, "Gabie..," and feel a warm hug, it was my uncle, (my moms brother). "everything will be all right, let's go to my house." 
Suddenly I'm walking outside to the car with my brother. While we were driving a million thoughts were spinning in my head, "How will we live without her? What are we gonna do now?"
Next, we were at my uncle's house, I felt my aunt's warm hug as she hugged my brother and me. She led us to the patio and gave us water, and for me, medicine for my terrible headache.

Yes thats what happened when my mom passed away because of liver chirossis. Causes are alcohol, smoking and medicine. All three of them matched my moms situation. Eventually, my friends, class, everyone new the tragic that happened to us. People said I shouldn't go to school for a couple weeks, but I did go because I didn't want to be trapped at home with my terrible thoughts. I finished 5th grade. My classmates gave my family money. We had a funeral. I couldnt bare to see her in a casket. But when I finally walked in she looked beautiful but not herself. I didn't go to see her getting buried. I couldn't bare that. A couple months later we packed as much as we could into two suitcases and flew out back to my dad. When I saw him I almost cried tears of happiness. I hugged him so so tightly after 5 years. That's when my new life in America starts... Just my dad, cat, brother and I.
