Peace of Mind{18+}

Four

Smile, though your heart is aching.

Smile, even though it's breaking. When

there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by

if you smile through your pain and

sorrow. Smile and maybe tomorrow,

you'll see the sun come shining through

for you.

Sabrina POV

I was visiting my mother grave. I haven't been here in a long time. I sit down and place the flowers on the grave.

"Hi mom."i say while tears fall down my face.

"I'm so sorry for not coming to visit you."i say while trying to control my tears.

"I miss you so much and I really wish you were here. I know you are still looking out for me so thank you. Ms. Mary is so amazing and she's the best. Staying with her and Ryan is nice. I never felt so safe before. They really are looking out for me and I appreciate them. They agreed to keep me being homeless a secret. I even let Ms. Mary convinced me to go to church and Ioved it."i say.

"I love you and I really wish you were here."i say.

"I'm so sorry mom. I should've done something. I probably could've saved you. I wish I knew then what I knew now."i say.

I stand up and walk to the nearest bus stop.

I walk into the house to hear voices in the kitchen. I walk in the kitchen and see some guy. He looks kind of familiar.

"Hey, where did you go?"Ryan ask.

"I had something to do that was kind of last minute. I'm sorry for just leaving."i say.

"You don't have to apologize."Ms. Mary says and I nod.

"Are you okay?"Ryan ask and she puts her arm around me.

"I am now."i say smiling.

"This is my brother Trenton. Trenton this is Sabrina."Ryan says.

"Do I know you from somewhere?"He ask.

"No I don't think so."i say.

I give Ryan a look.

She grabs my hand and we step away from them.

They can still see us but they can't hear us.

"Did you tell him my situation?"i ask.

"No I didn't tell him. We made a promise and I keep my promises."she say and I smile.

"I went to visit my mom grave today."i say.

"Are you okay?"she ask.

"I will be."i say.

"Well i'm heading to the store. Do you want to come?"she ask.

"No i'm okay. I think I might take a nap."i say.

"I'll wake you up when dinner is ready."she says leaving.

I walk towards the stairs but bump into Trenton.

"I am so sorry."i say and he laughs.

"That's where I know you from. You nearly tore my arm off when you were running out of my mom restaurant."he says and I frown.
