Remember Me

Chapter 8

I watched in complete shock as my mum fell to the floor crying. I rushed over to her to try and comfort her but I couldn't get the thought of Jack out of my mind, was he okay, his mum was dead. Where would he go? Who would look after him? All these thoughts came flooding into my head as my mum cried into my chest. My dad came running up sooner or later and he walked her away.

"I think you need to call Jack." He says and I nod as he walks away with mum crying. I run over to my phone and quickly dial Jacks number, my heart thudding in my chest so hard it might explode.It rings three time before he picks up.

"Anna?" He asks, his voice quiet and i can tell he has been crying.

"Jack! Oh my God! Are you okay? Do you want me to-" I say and he stops me.

"She's dead." He says, almost a whisper. I begin to panic, what if he did something he would regret, what if he did something and I wouldn't be able to ever see him again?

"Okay Jack, stay calm I'm going to come over. Please promise me you won't do anything stupid." I say, beginning to walk out of the house, grabbing my keys and phone in the process. "I'm going to drive down-"

"NO! Don't you dare get in a car and drive up to see me, I can't lose you tonight as well, if you get in that car I swear to God we are over, I am not loosing you as well." He says and my heart stops when he says that we would be done, he really was hurting and I could hear it in his voice but that made it hurt even more.

"Oh, okay. Erm... promise me you won't do anything you'll regret. I'll drive up tomorrow then instead to see you." I say and the line stays silent for a moment.

"I'm sure that is a good idea Anna. I'm not loosing you yet and I know you need to spend time with your family. I love you and I really want you here but your parents need you." He says and his voice cracks at the end. I let out a sigh.

"Okay... well promise to call me tomorrow, I'm not loosing you either, I know you're hurting and I just need to make sure you don't do anything stupid. Try to stay at home just promise me that I'll see you soon." I say and he sighs.

"I'll probably see you at her funeral." He says and I can almost hear the tears fall onto his cheeks.

"I love you Jack, your mum loved you and I know that you are going to hurt and I want to be there with you, I'll call you again in a bit then?" I ask and the line stay silent for a while and just as I am about to hang up he speaks.

"Don't leave me Anna. I can't be alone right now." He says and I put the phone back to my ear.

"I'm not going anywhere if you don't want me to." I say with a slight smile.

"Thanks Chocolate. I love you." He says and I can almost see him smiling slightly. I let out a small laugh.

"I love you too." I say, the conversation carries on like this and Jack tells me about his favorite memories with his and his mum.

"Jack?" I ask him, it is now almost ten o'clock and we were still talking. He stops talking.

"Yeah?" He replies and I let out a quiet sigh.

"Are you okay?" I ask him and the line stays silent for a moment and I think I've lost him and my heart almost breaks.

"I am when I'm with you." He says and lets out a small laugh. I smile and breath out slowly.

"Well I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." I say, with a smile, I hear him chuckle slightly and I can see the old Jack coming back, but then he stops laughing and my heart stops for a moment.

"You're the only one I have now." He says quickly and I begin to panic, what was he going to do? "My Dad walked out on us when I was seven and now my mum has gone, you're the only one that I love now, you're the only person that cares about me." He says and I can hear him begin to cry.
