The nurse was now confident that I would be able to manage at home with mum but I wasn't allowed at school for another month which was still to little for all this to blow over. My mum was at a modelling shoot only because she had no clue that I was being discharged today "Bye." I said hoping up almost efortlessly from my hospital bed.

"Bye honey, your cab is waiting outside we'll call your mother as soon as possible." The nurse smiled sweetly and took me to the exit where- like she said the cab was waiting for me "Bye, we'll call you tonight to check up on you, okay see you later." She said informativley, I climed in the cab sighing heavily with relief and feeling like I was starting a new life but  I knew I wasn't.

"Erm Hello can you take me to 12 Cross Beach Lane please?" I asked rhetorically.

"Of course I can sweet." He said concentrating only on the road. After about half an hour driving we arrived at my house; I gave him the money and he drove away into the distance. I unlocked the door and waltzed into the lounge turning on the T.V then proceeding to cook popcorn in the kitchen until I was finally sat on the couch flicking through all the channels until I stopped on a channel showing a film, there was a brief news headline before and thats when my heart was torn apart, my life was flipped upside down.

"There has been a murder in Hollywood CA, a woman was found dead on a deserted road near Cross Beach Lane, the woman has recently been identified as Louise Amy Knight." The woman at the desk said, I chucked the remote at the T.V and burst into tears spilling on my clothes, the sofa, my concience. How could this be that the one woman that ever cared for me and looked after me had now been stolen from the world's grasp in a matter of seconds.

"how...?" I questioned myself almost silently "WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO HER? WHY!" I cried  looking up at the ceeling failing to blink back the tears. I couldn't get my head around it, I just couldn't... my mother was dead, dead! I needed to see her beautiful face before they slammed her shut in a box and threw her in the ground. I grabbed my coat and called a cab, the cab arrived and I dramaticly stormed into the cab "Off to the morgue please." I said scowling with my red blochy face.

"Are you okay Mam?" He asked concerned.

"No I'm not but I will be when I arrive." I said rolling my eyes.

"Have you heard about that murder mam- Terrible isn't it?" He said sighing.

"Thats my mum." I ststed making his eyes widden

"Gosh darnit." He muttered "Oh mam I'm terribly sorry I had no idea!" He said franticly.

"It's....okay." I said quietly. We arrived there and when I did he insisted I did not pay him for the journey. "Hello I need the morgue." I said then my old nurse spotted me and rushed over.

"Whats up are you okay?" She said putting her arm aound me.

"My mum has been killed and I need to see her, thats why I need the morgue." I stated bluntly

"Oh God  are you-"  She said

"Of course I'm not bloody ok!" I said interrupting her viciously "Sorry, sorry I shouldn't have been so cross." The nurse raised an eyebrow.

"Young lady you have every right on this damn earth to be cross, now follow me." She requested nicley, she led me to a dimly lit corridoor and closed her eyes taking in a deep breath oppening a door labbeled '0-3 days' I dreadded it and looked forward to it at the same time she twisted a sliver key in the golden lock and stepped inside slowly pointing to a tabel with a blanket clearly covering a body on top then left the room still looking through the slit blinds at me and my reaction when I lifted up the baby blue sheet from my mothers face- I gasped turning away as I saw the stab wounds on her chest which had now become crusty and brown, her face was as pale as fresh snow her eyelids were shut tight and apart from the stab wounds she looked as if she was just asleep; I wish... 

I placed my hand over my eyes and let the natural tears fall on to the glittering lineolium floor then walked on silently until I was at the exit jumping into a cab then heading home gritting my teeth furiously the whole way. I will kill that man, it's not a threat...more of a promise. I got out slamming my feet furiously onto the gravel drive for a dramatic effect.
