Jack POV

I get up and do my normal morning routine.

I see Naomi across the room and decide to wake her up.

She is getting ready right now.

I'm still tired from going to the beach all day so I'll just go to the store.

So far I have gotten 4 chocolate bars, 2 big bags of chips, a box of airheads and sour patch kids, and 2 huge bottles of Gatorade.

I'm debating whether to text Naomi.
Eh what the heck?!

Me: you wanna have a lazy day?

Naomi: yea whatever I'm still tired from yesterday.

Me: same I got a whole bunch of snacks and I'm on my way home

Naomi: okay see you then.

I go to the cash register and check out all of the items.

It comes out to 22.89

I swipe my card and pay for the stuff.

My dad filled up my card to 1000.00 for the 2 weeks that they are visiting the venue for where the wedding is gonna be.

I can't believe that they are actually getting married.

I remember when my mom and dad used to be together.

She died a few years back due to drug overdose.

~Flashback~
I run to the guidance office where they called me for an emergency.

As I ran down the hall I could feel a piece of my heart breaking.

I knew something was wrong I just felt it.

I tried to keep an opened mind about what was happening but I could only think of the worst

I am in 7th grade for gods sake. It was just too much to take in.

I just tried to think of happy thoughts but again the darkness kept coming inside of me.

I walk into the guidance office and I see the teachers holding sorry faces.

I felt like crying on the floor before I knew the information they were about to tell me.

"What happened?" I say with my voice cracking.

"Your mom is in the hospital" they say straightly.

"Can I go see her?" I say with a relieved voice

You see this isn't the first time my mom has been to the hospital. In fact I don't think this is the first 10 times my mom has been to the hospital.

My dad and her fight a lot because she keeps taking pills, bad pills.

I don't know much about them, all I know is that they make her do bad things.

It's just ruining our family.

My principle takes me to the hospital to see my mother.

I run into the room and see a machine pumping her stomach.

She is asleep. At least I think so. I walk up to her slowly and grab her hand.

"Mommy?"

"Mommy please answer me, please" I cry

"Mommy i love you so much, I'm so sorry if I have ever hurt you just know that you are the most valuable thing I have and I really need you!! Please mommy wake up for me! I cannot survive without you! I am not ready! You are my rock! I really really need you!!" I continue to weep

By now I am praying and crying at her bedside.

I feel like dying from sadness

As I am praying j hear her flatline

The doctors escort me out of the room but I fight them.

I somehow get out of their grip and give my mother one last hug.

They practically drag me out of the room.

~End of flashback~

I wipe a scorching hot tear from my face and hold back the rest that are soon to come.

I get in to the car and drive back home.

I go inside and see Naomi on the couch waiting for me.

"Hey, what's wrong?" She asks

"Nothing I have bad allergies"

She saw straight through my lie and gave me a tight hug

I cried into her shoulder thinking of my mom.

"C'mon let's watch the movie"

I smile at thinking of how great girlfriend I mean sister she is.

We lay on the couch and watch the movie.

I put my head on her chest and use her boobs as pillows.

She just lays there playing with my hair.

It was the perfect moment.

I didn't even watch the movie I just fell asleep on this perfect girl.
