“Breakfast is ready honey!” my mom shouted from down stairs
“Okay coming down in a bit” struggling to get out of my bed, I managed to get out and fix myself.
“Mmm that smells good” I said as soon as I entered the kitchen.
“Sit down honey you’ll be late for class if you keep smelling the food and not eating it” my mom said smiling.
“Where’s dad?” breaking the silence.
“Off to work like always.” My mom replied. As soon as I finished my breakfast I said my goodbyes to my mom and head off to my school.
“Hey beautiful!” a familiar voice say. When I turned around to see who it was, it was Liam my Bestriend.
“So what’s up?” he asked.
“Still at school, that’s up” I laughed.
“So we should better be going now. To our class, or do you want to stay here and be the hallway monitor…”
“Mmm that’s a good one but I think we should go to class now.”
The class is really boring, as always. And I want to get out of it as soon as I can but thanks to Liam for being there, joining me in my misery. Before I knew it the bell rang as a sign that the class was over… Sadly that was just my first class. After about several classes later. It’s time for lunch! Liam and I’s favorite subject!! Oh that’s not a subject haha.
“So are you been sent to a death sentence or something?” Liam asked when he saw how much food I got.
“Erm dude it’s lunch I can eat what I want you know” I said a bit harsh.
“Hey I feel a bit weird lately…” I added.
“What do you mean?” he asked looking up to me before biting his burger.
“I just feel something is about to happen…” I said and continued eating.
I really feel weird lately, like something bad is about to happen. I keep on putting that thought behind my back because I need to focus on my school work but somehow I can’t it just keep on arguing with my head.
Finally after 10 years in school, okay I exaggerated that part. After 9 hours in school we can escape this jailhouse! Cool. Liam and I walked home together like always has been, and tonight my mom invited him for dinner which he took without a doubt as he says my mom is a good cook. After all the talk and eating dinner with Liam he thanked my mom for the meal and saying goodbyes, when the picture frame of my dad fell. Gahd when is this bad feeling going to end?!
When I got to my room I decided to call my dad if he is okay. But suddenly he doesn’t pick up the phone. Yeah not a good one he will for sure not answer the call because maybe he is driving, so I decided to text him.
“Hey dad where are you? Are you doing fine? I love you.” And press send.
“I’m okay baby, don’t worry. But I have to go now” he replied.
As soon as I read his text I already feel okay knowing he is okay. When I laid on my bed the weird feeling is back. But I decided to sleep on it because I am really, really exhausted.
When I woke up I checked my phone to check if my dad texted me or anything. But still no text maybe he is just busy or something. So I did what I normally do every day kick my bum out of my sweet, sweet bed, fix myself, go down stairs and eat, wait for Liam to fetch me, and go to school. The half of the day at school is pretty much the same as always. Until I saw my mom. Wait what? What is my mom doing here? Have I done something wrong? Oh I hope it is not me about falling asleep on class or something…
She walked passed me! Omg I really did something wrong. My heart is pounding when the principal called me to go to her office. Oh no. Mother of Nature help me!
“So your mom called me to let you know something important.” The principal said
“Whatever it is believe me I haven’t do-” my mom cut me off and said
“Your…dad…” she said slowly.
“Why? What’s wrong with dad?” I asked don’t know what is going on.
“Your… Dad… he… ” she said even slowly tearing up.
“Mom say it already.”
“He… Died last…. night”
“What?! You are wrong! He is not! He texted me last night saying he was okay!” I shouted crying.
My mom stood up holding my arms “I know this is hard honey but he died last night after he avoid hitting an animal and instead he hit a tree, he died on impact.”
“No! You’re lying!” I stood up and ran as far as I can until I bumped into Liam.
“Why are you tearing up Meegan?” he asked confused.
“My dad died last night. I don’t know what to do he texted me last night saying he was okay… but why?” I said crying.
“Come on, at first this is hard, I understand how you feel right now. But you are not the only one who’s hurting right now, you have to there for your mom too.”
“Thanks Liam, I would never know what to do without you…” still crying Liam wiped a tear on my check put a strand of hair behind my ear and said “Smile babe you’re beautiful.”
It’s suprising how much of our lives can change in a day. It maybe for the good, it might be for the bad. We might think that our life has no particular direction. But trials in our life is just normal, it comes with the whole package of us being human beings. Throughout all the things that is happening to me right now I would say that I’m glad that Liam is there with me when I need him the most, He saved me tonight…
