Miami's POV
Leukemia ? Omigod why my mother. Why is EVERYTHING bad happening to me. I had the worst couple months ever. But I'm out of tears. They dried up my last cry. I couldn't do anything but pray & think.
Any moment know the hospital will show up taking her away for.. Lord knows how long. I need to tell somebody. This is a lot of responsibility for a 16 year old to take in. First terry getting locked up now my mother getting tooken away.
Coming here was supposed to be so my mother & dad could help me & watch over me but what happened? My dad left & my mom is getting tooken away for treatment. What would I tell the girls ? I couldn't tell them "oo your mom has cancer & might die so she has to be taken for treatment"
At this thought I break down all over again. Remember when I said there were no tears left ? I lied. There were pools of fresh tears still waiting to b cried out of my eyes. I sit in bed crying & sniffling when my phone rings.
Forgetting I was crying, I answered hoping it was tray. He always makes me smile. Ugh how did I end up thinking about him. "Hellooo"
I zone back in & notice someone on the other end kept saying hello. "H-hello ?" I ask voice cracking.
"Omigod what's,wrong boo ????"
I smile at the voice of Myra & De'Asia both on the phone. I sniffle & start to talk when they cut me off. "No. Were coming over !"
& with that they hung up. Do they even know where I live ????
I lay back on my pillow & sniffle some more as tears keep streaming down my face. I'm tired of crying. I'm done crying. I'm done hurting. I'm done with this. Done.
I start to chuckle when I think back to how I thought my year would be perfect. I was so determined...
I drift off to sleep with a smirk on my face.
*********
I wake up to a loud tapping at my balcony door. I shuffle to the door, head down , unlock the door & shuffle back to my bed. I lay down & get under my covers covering my face.
"Girl... I just want to know what's up. What's been going on ?" De'Asia ask rubbing my back through the covers. I sit up & throw the covers off me & start sobbing all over again. Every strong muscle in my body. Broken. -snap-
Just as I start to talk , I hear a commotion in the hallway. That's when I knew....
"Make sure my sisters stay sleep" I say in between sniffles before I rush out the door & into my mother's. There it was. Them hauling her weak, thin , fragile body onto the Stretcher.
I couldn't break down & cry right now. I didn't know her that well. But I do know that she had good intentions. She didn't mean any harm to anybody. God please protect my mother & make her strong to pull through. Amen
I open my eyes & see the stretcher being rolled out the room. I stare at my mom praying for her eyes to open & look at me. As if she could read mines she slowly fluttered her eyes open.love....I could see it in her mesmerizing clear hazel eyes.
I saw her lips twitch as if she wanted to smile. I outstretch my hand & smile before she disappeared. I couldn't even watch them load her onto the ambulance. I run back into my room , jump onto my bed & cry my last tears. Miami promise me you can stay strong & not cry no matter how bad the situation is. Okay that's my promise to myself.
