Young Love

8

I woke up and opened my eyes. I was wondering where I was, it took me a minute and then I remembered I fell asleep with Daniel in his roo- OMG I FELL ASLEEP! I jumped up and hopped out of bed, which woke Daniel up. "(Y/n)? What's wrong?" He said sitting up. "I fell asleep! I didn't mean to! I didn't tell my mom where I was going, I just left! She must be worried! Oh gosh, I have to go. I'm sorry! I'll see you later!" I rushed out of his room, went out the door, and busted into my apartment. "Mom?" I said loudly. "Mom are home?" I went over to her room and saw her lying on her bed. "Ok good, you're just sleeping." I turned around to go out the room, then noticed something, I saw 2 empty pill bottles on her nightstand. "No, mom," I bent down and looked at my mom. "Mom? Mom wake up! Mom, can you hear me?" I checked her pulse, nothing. "No! Mom! Why? Why did you do this? Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" Tears started to run down my face quickly. "I shouldn't have left you alone! I should have been here with you! Dang it mom, WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF?!" I leaned against the wall and started sobbing even more. I ran my fingers through my hair, then put my hands on my face. I got up and ran to the phone and dialed 9-1-1. 

"911 what's your emergency?"
"Hello?" 
"Hi hun, what's the problem?"
"My mom, sh-she, she killed herself"
"When did this happen?"
"I don't know. I went over to my friends house yesterday, and then I came home this morning and found her on her bed. I thought she was just sleeping but then I saw empty pill bottles on her nightstand. I checked her pulse, she's gone." 
"Ok what's your name?" 
"(Y/n), (y/f/l/n)"
"Ok honey, the ambulance is on their way"

I was freaking out, I didn't know what to do! I hugged my mom even though she was dead, "Oh mom, I didn't even get to say good-bye! I love you! Why did you do this?" I cried. I looked at her hand and saw an envelope that had my name on it. I wiped my tears and took it out of her hand, and read it. 

"Dear (y/n),
If you're reading this, I'm probably dead. I'm sorry for what I did, I just couldn't take it anymore. It's been hard for me, splitting up with your dad. I didn't know what else to do. I'm so sorry honey, I really am. 

I love you, Mom"

I stood up and screamed at the top of my lungs. I started pacing back and forth, I saw a mirror and looked at myself, then I punched it. The glass shattered everywhere and my knuckles were bleeding. The police and paramedics knocked on the door since it wasn't locked, and came in. "Is everything alright? Are you ok?" I tried to stay as calm as I could be, "Yes, I'm ok." I said even though I wasn't. They asked me some questions about what happened and I told them everything I knew. They looked at my hand and saw it was bleeding, I told them I had punched the mirror in anger. They cleaned my hand up and had to stitch up the cuts I had. They took my mom to the hospital to see if they could do anything, but I knew they couldn't. The police took me to the station and asked me if I had anyone close to me that lived here. I told them about my dad. They tried to contact him, and found out that he had died yesterday in a car crash not too long after he'd left us. I sighed, it's like my whole life was falling apart. "Do you have anyone that you stay with?" an officer asked. I thought about the LaRusso's. "Umm I have some neighbors that I'm pretty close with." "Can you give me the name? I'll give them a call and ask if they're ok with you staying with them." "Lucille LaRusso" I said. They nodded and walked off and left me in the office by myself. About 5 minutes later, the officer came back in and told me that Mrs. LaRusso would love to take me in, "She'll be here soon". I smiled a bit, then looked at the floor. The policeman left me alone. 

10 minutes later Mrs. LaRusso walked in and hugged me and I hugged her back. "I'm so sorry sweetie!" She kissed the top of my head and comforted me. "Thank you for letting me stay with you Mrs. L, it means a lot to me." I said smiling. "Oh, you're welcome (y/n)!" I let go and and so did she. "Come on, let's go." She said, grabbing my hand and leading me to her car. I felt a little better, knowing that I had somewhere to stay, and that I could stay with the LaRusso's. I love Mrs. LaRusso, she's like my other mom. She treated me as if I was her own daughter. We got back to the apartments and I started moving some of my stuff into their place. Mrs. L let me stay in Daniel's room, which was nice. Daniel had just gotten home from training with Mr. Miyagi. "Hi Daniel" I said. "Hey (y/n), what's going on?" I explained what happened to him,  I started getting a little emotional while I told him about what had happened. "Aw baby, I'm sorry." He said, hugged me. "So what's going on?" He asked. "Your mom is letting me stay here with you guys!" I said with a smile. "Really?!" "Yup" He smiled and hugged me. "That's great! I'm sorry about your parents, but I'm just happy to know that you're staying here with us! I get to see your beautiful face every morning when I wake up." He winked and I laughed. "Come on, I'll help you move the rest of your stuff into my room."
