it was the day i was going to meet up with my mom

"zach can you please come with me! i can't go alone" i said

"i want to go but you know i can't! i feel like it's a you and her thing!" he hugged me

"please just come!" i said

"alright alright" he kissed my forehead

i walked to the cafe my mom wanted to meet up with me. i saw her sitting down at the corner of the cafe and she was on her phone

"hey" i sat down

"hey sarah" she smiled

"is it ok that i brought my boyfriend?" i asked

"it's totally fine" she smiled

zach smiled

"so why are we here?" i asked

"i want to apologize"

"ok then do it" i said

"sarah i'm sorry i really am! i wish i became the mother you wanted me to be! i'm sorry for everything i have done to hurt you"

"do you mean that?" i asked

my mom was looking at her phone

"yea"

"yea what?"i asked

"yea i meant it!" she said not looking up from her phone

"give me your phone!" i took her phone away

she was texting her husband and a message said the exact same thing she said

"so you didn't mean it! you told your husband!" i said

"of course i didn't mean it! i never wanted you or your brothers!"

"you know what! i'm so glad dad won the house because he's finally happy! he's happier than he was with you! he has a grandson on the way! my step sister is having a baby and he's so happy. look at you all you have in your hand is a cigarette box! jackson told me this was your second husband since the divorce with my dad. i hope you realize that i'm no longer your daughter and i haven't been for the past 2 years because anna adopted me as one of her own! i hope you know that you broke my dad my brothers! you broke them but you broke me the most! you abused me! my dad changed for the better after the divorce! you just became a drug addict!" i said

"babe calm down! zach said

"the reason i moved to canada was to get away from you and your father! i only married him for the money and you should know that! i called the divorce when i found out he was loosing his company! i never wanted you or your twin brothers!"

i tried not to cry. i couldn't help but slap her

"don't you ever say that about my dad or my brothers!" i had tears in my eyes " i knew you weren't going to change, you never change" 

i went outside and started walking. zach followed me outside

"hey hey!" zach stopped infront of me

"what!" i cried

he hugged me and i completely lost it

"i just actually thought for once she was going to change" i cried

"it will be ok" he rocked me back and forth

he wrapped his arms around me and walked us back to the hotel. i tried not to cry because fans were everywhere. i went up to my hotel room and i called my dad and told him everything but then he told me something else

"what do you mean??" i got up

"brody is in the hospital" he said

"i'm on my way! i'm catching the next plane to LA" i said

i booked a flight for the next hour and i quickly got some clothes and i went to the airport and waited for my flight and i felt like the flight took forever. i rushed to the hospital and i found everyone sitting down and crying

"how is he?" i asked

"not well"

i started crying, i sat next to my sister and we were al crying.

"hi guys i came as quick as i could"

"hayes" i said

i ran up to him and hugged him tight. he hugged me back. i cried into his chest. he was the only one that knew brody was always in and out of hospitals, he knew that brody was my best friend and it always scared me when he was in the hospital

"are you guys ready?"

"yes" my dad got up

"what do you mean? ready?" i wiped my tears

"brody is on life support, he wasn't in the hospital because of his health but because he was in an accident" my dad said

i immediately broke down but hayes held me up. we all walked to brodys room and he was there with tubes everywhere and bruises and cuts everywhere. hayes came along side with me

"sarah i know this is going to be hard for you but do you want to do it" my dad asked

"yea" i went over

i unplugged it and his heart flat lined. i hugged him tight but my dad had to pull me off of him because the nurses were coming and covering him. hayes took me into a hug and i just couldn't stop crying. hayes offered to drive me home

"do you think you'll be ok?" hayes said

"i want too but brody was my best friend, i unplugged the life support on my brother" i cried

hayes tried comforting me and i finally got home and the house was so silent. brody would always be loud and it's so quite now

"dad? anna? ethan? savanna?" i walked up the stairs

savanna was lying on her bed and ethan was on his desk doing nothing and my parents were talking in their room. i went into my room but everything i saw was at lease a memory i had with my brother. like by my TV where the TV almost fell on him. i had so many family pictures

zach💜: hey babe i saw your note? why are you in LA?

me: i'm sorry zach i'm not going back to canada, i have to stay in LA.

zach💜: what?

me: i don't want to talk about it zach. i really don't want to talk about it

zach💜: i get it. just let me know when you are ready.

me: seen

i ate dinner and went to bed without saying a word to anyone.
