The days i lost it all

30...

AUDREYS POV..

Sitting besides my mum, I watched the doctor administer some drugs to her as she sat quietly humming to the beats of her favorite song.
I wished I could do something, something to get her in a better state, something to heal her completely but then I couldn't. On days when I was weak all I could ever do was fall on my knees and somehow it strengthened me.

"She's all set to go" the doctor said to me seeing that I was the only one in the room with mum

"Oh! Justin would come meet you later for the payments I guess" I said to the doctor as the nurse packed up the drugs and they left the room.

"How's your dad and brother" mum asked when the medicals left the room

"Justin is good" I replied

"And?"

" I dont know, he's only been here once" I said

"He's probably mad at me" mum said in his defense and it irked me

"Mad at you? Mad at you for the fact that your ill?, mad at you that he doesn't know he's responsibilities? Mad at you for what exactly?" I asked mum trying so hard not to yell cause of her condition

"We were meant to pray to God, he'll heal me" mum said calmly like whatever she said was going to make some sense to me and maybe make me understand

"And when you die?, we'll pray to God you rest in peace right?" I said with livid anger

"No ones going to die,where's your faith?" She questioned

"There's more to life than prayers,you know this,I know this even Dad knows this and is simply just putting it all on Jesus,we both know this so why act like we dont" I said

"Because that's the way things are, that's the way things will always be"

"Thats that way we let things be" I said and just then Justin walked into the room with a slip

"I just met the doctor, said you're fit to go" Justin said after minutes of silence when he walked into the room. He could feel the tensed silence between me and more but Justin being Justin would never butt in.

"I'll take the things to the car, you get your old chunk of a mother" I said and we all laughed.

"Old chunk of a mum" was Avrils words for years back whenever she had an issue with mum and wanted to address her. Over the years we had taken the word lightly and it had simply turned into more of a joke than a curse word that it was actually meant for.

TRAVIS POV...

Dan was on the bed, Seth was standing by the mirror and kept babbling about how hot and fine he looked_ trust me, it wasn't just a girls thing, a lot of boys like Seth could spend their day looking at the mirror and acknowledging their well created features_ Tom seemed to be texting while I sat by the corner of the room sipping from a  diet coke bottle that wasn't even mine.

"Let's watch a movie or something" Tom suggested getting off his phone

"Your girlfriend been making you watch a lot of Netflix lately" Dan commented and we all laughed.

"Netflix isn't such a bad idea, I find it interesting" Tom defended

"Course you would! You're more of a skirt than you know it" Seth attacked and sent the whole room roaring in laughter

"Well I'm not the one who looks at a mirror all day like your some barbie doll or something" Tom said

"Pardon me for having such good looks" Seth continued
