I felt the years spill over my cheeks as I sat there and cried. My dad patted my back while I sobbed on that hospital bed. I just barely heard my dad sniffle over my whaling.
"It's my fault! I told her not to get to close!" I cried, wiping my eyes on my blanket.
My heart monitor sped up quickly and the beeping was almost annoying. I tried to stop but I couldn't.
It was MY fault! I killed her! I can't believe my MOTHER, the one that birthed me, raised me, fed me, clothed me, and loved me unlimitedly... Is gone.. And it was because of me!

After crying for hours, my dad looked at me, and then the doctor. "When will be be allowed to go home?"
The doctor looked at something stuck to my wall. A bundle of papers. My papers? He looked back over. "Well, he's already been in for three days so he can leave around 5." He smiled.
"THREE DAYS?" I choked. My voice was raspy and it hurt to talk. The doctor nodded.
"You've been unconscious for two days and then today. Three days." I was shocked. How badly did I hit my head? I had so many answerless questions.
What will home be like without mom? What will.. Life.. Be like?
My dad looked at me with sad eyes. "Are you hungry." I nodded.
He left and shut the door behind him, leaving me with my thoughts.
I knew that something had to be done. I had to stop this killer.
I had to.
I'm going to.
I WILL.
