A shoutout to 2 of my many besties jxckgilinsky14 And janine_grace1223 I am in love with their stories.

*graduation day*

Pov JJ

'Today is the day, well tomorrow I will ask but whatever,right.' I look at my tan skin and straighten my bow tie in the mirror. I close my eyes and let a tear slip down my face.

*flashback*

"Mom. are you comi........" I trail off. my mom is passed out with beer and pills around her. there is a note laying next to her. it's labeled:
To:Jack
From: Mommy
It is written in her crappy hand writing, she wrote it when she was drunk. it's obvious. I just stand there, dead silent. I stAre at my mothers lifeless body, crumpled into a fetal position. I fall to the floor.

"MOM, MOMMY WAKE UP!!" I fall over her dead body and cry, I just cry. a young child just lost in the world. I'm 6 years old but I know exactly what is happening.
"Mom, NO!!" I fall and lay in her chest. lying there waiting and listening for a heartbeat that will never happen again. a heartbeat u won't hear again. that comforting heartbeat of a mother that will calm you down.
~end~

To this day, almost 13 years later, I haven't read that letter. my father has. when he would try to talk about it I would cry and run away.

I walk over to my closet and pull out a box. it is oak wood, it's polished and it in the shape of a chest.
I pull it open.

On the top is the letter. I open it and it said:
Dear Jack,
I know that you are too young to understand, but I love you. I have done this to myself. your father was just slowing the process. I hope you are at the age to understand this. your father would beat me, cheat on me, he almost killed me. so I thought, why not just kill myself, hell can't be much more worse than the life I am living now. So I did what I had to do. I love you. see you soon.
Love,
Mommy

I sit there and bawl. I just cry and cry and cry.

About an hour later I hear a knock at the door.
'Come in." I murmur. and there she is, the love of my life. DJ. the one comfort thy I have had for 2 months now. I fake smile. she come and sits on my lap. She grabs the note and reads it.

"Oh my gosh, babe." she lays her head on my shoulder as I cry into her hair.

"I love you." my voice cracks. and sits on my lap and smiles at me.

"Do you remember when we first met?" She wipes a tear from under my eye.

"Um, at the mall, right?" I sniffle.

"On the very first day we met, I cried in your shoulder. because of that we are together." I smile. she starts smiling again. it is like smile fest 2015 in my room.

"Now I remember." I laugh. "I loved you from the moment I saw you." I peck her on the lips. she smiles as we get up. we walk downstairs. I saw her stuff. I forgot she moved in yesterday, funny.

Do you guys like it? Did u cry? I hope so cause I shed a few tears while writing this, sooo...
