I sat down crying as I watched them move my mom to the morgue.

Life's not fair,why my mom?
Why not someone else's mom?...I thought.

The thought of not seeing my mom again made me cry even harder.

It was finally time to go home,dad walked to me,picked up my backpack and held my cold hands,I couldn't move,dad hung my backpack around his arm,and carried me like the baby I was.

I sat in the car wishing I'd meet mom when I got home.

I hoped it was all a dream,and maybe that dream would end when I get home to see mom cooking or watching our favorite TV show "dog judge" but guess what?...it wasn't a dream,mom wasn't home...I burst into tears as dad entered through the garage door,he walked to me,bent over to hug me,I just stood stiff like a tree.

He held me tight saying once again "we'd be fine"...I pushed him and with an angry voice I shouted no we wouldn't...I'm nothing without mom I said,I'd never be fine,I can't be fine.

As I ran on the stairs,I got to mom and dad's room,I opened the door,I could smell mom's fragrance.

I ran to my room, slammed the door,I jumped on my bed crying till I heard dad knock on my door,he came in asking if I would like to sleep in bed with him,I agreed.

Getting to mom and dad's room brought so many memories,I climbed on the bed,holding unto dad as he held me tight,and like a little boy I fell asleep.

It was morning I woke up,dad wasn't in bed,I could smell eggs coming from downstairs,I got up heading towards the hallway.

That's when the thought came back to me,mom!!...where's mom I asked myself

Then I recalled last night,I couldn't cry
I walked downstairs,dad asked if I would like to skip school today without hesitating I said yes.

We had breakfast,dad didn't go to work today,I went up to my room to take a bath when I heard my phone ring, Natalie was calling

I couldn't pick up,i guess she must have waited for me,or maybe she heard about the incident.

I took a bath,brushed my teeth then get into my pj since I'd be home today.

I felt so lonely, I took out a picture of me and mom on my 14th birthday, suddenly tears filled my chest,The thought of not seeing mom again broke me.

Natalie kept calling and calling,I switched my phone off.

I went downstairs to watch dog judge,watching it without mom felt so different...mom come home soon I thought.

The thought of my mom finally left my mind.

I heard a knock on the front door,I went to see who's there,it was Natalie
She had skipped school to come see me.

It was the first time Natalie wore a sad face,her eyes filled with tears as she reached to hug me,I just sobbed and sniffed in,she told me "don't worry I'd be here till mom picks me up"...I felt so happy,I needed a friend.

Natalie greeted dad as we both went up to my room,I sat down on my bed and asked her how she knew about it,"my mom told me" she said while pulling her denim jacket.

You wanna go out or something Natalie said while leaning on my table.

I agreed as she helped me pick a shirt out of my closet,I changed.

I told dad I'd be fine as Natalie picked up her backpack from the hanger by the door.
