        I couldn’t stop myself, I didn’t want to stop. The only feeling I had was the tug on my chest, the ache to be closer to Silas. When he kissed me, all my emotions bursted through the barriers I had tried to build. The moment his lips had met mine, I immediately kissed him back. There was no point in trying to keep myself from him; eventually I would give in to my emotions. Our heated kiss had brought a wave of energy and lust forth. His kisses were neat and soft but at the same time, hungry and possessive. While he drove, I stared at his face. Each time I looked at him, no matter what or when; he looked flawless. His hair was always perfectly styled and piliferous. When he pulled to a stop, I noticed that we had stopped at a gas station. “Sorry babe, I need to get some gas.” He winked at me and I stayed in the car. While I waited for him to pay for the gas, I got a call from my dad. Nervously, I answered call. “Becca, it’s your mom, she’s at the hospital again. I don’t know if she’s going to make it. The doctors gave her four months God Damnit!” My dad spoke into the speaker with fright. “Oh my god dad, how bad is it?” I asked him, afraid of his response. “It’s not good Bec; they had to put her sedatives because she was going crazy. She kept yelling Bec, she wouldn’t stop...” I could hear that my father was on the verge of tears. “I’ll be there.” Hanging up, I stared off into the distance of the station. My vision was smeared with red and I felt thousands of tears streaming from my eyes. Each time I blinked, the red only intensified. I heard somebody calling my name in the distance but I barely heard them over the loud thud of my heart beat. I felt somebody shaking me and heard my name being called again. But it was like I was in a entirely different universe. The world felt far away and reality seemed so far away. I wanted to stay as far away from this world as possible. It was full of tragedy and dismay. But about Silas? I couldn’t help but hear the small voice inside my head, pleading for me to snap back to the real world. I actually wasn’t sure if it was inside my head or if somebody was actually saying so. I still felt like I was drifting further and further away from my hone when I felt a pair of lips press onto mine. Slowly, the red faded away until my vision cleared and I saw Silas leaning over me. “Silas?” I asked. He seemed to smile in relief. I lifted my hands to his face and pulled his mouth back down to mine. I slowly kissed him again and then leaned back and took in a long slow breath. “What happened?” Silas asked me. I realized that I’ve never told him about my mother’s cancer. “My mother has cancer... She is back in the hospital. She’s getting worse.” I was suspired by how calm and collected I sounded. “Do you want me to take you to the hospital?” All I did was nod at his suggestion. Immediately, he sped off to the hospital.

            I ran through the doors of the hospital and asked for my mother’s room number. They directed me to the same room she was in last visit. I knocked on the door and waited for somebody to open it. I had told Silas to wait for me in the waiting room. A nurse opened the door and I saw my mom lying on her bed and my father holding her hand to the side. The nurse walked out to give us some privacy. Walking over to my mom I said “Mom?” She looked over at me and stared straight into my eyes. “Who are you?” She asked. I stared at her in shock. “Mom...” I reached for her hand but she screamed. Everything inside me shattered. She continued to scream and I started to cry. My father called for the nurses and I ran out of the room, straight into Silas’s arms. “I’m so sorry Becca.” He told me; I cried even harder. “She was fine yesterday but now she doesn’t even remember me!” I yelled into his chest. Ragged sobs escaped my lips and he stroked my hair and tried to comfort me. The tears just kept on falling.
