Remember Me
As I open my eyes from my deep slumber I sat up and looked around my room. Did this really happen? I thought to myself. I continued to look around my dark room. Was I really like this? But, what else could I do? I didn't want to be with my sister, nor my step dad. "Mom, do you hear me? I miss you.." I whispered as I looked up. "Why did you leave me?" I whispered again and felt the burning sensation of tears rolling down my cheeks. "Couldn't you have stayed a little longer?" I said and got out of bed, wiping my eyes. You taught me to be strong, I tried to be just like you. But I'm not. I'm only pretending. I only pretended for you, to make you proud. As I got dressed I walked out of my room. I walked slowly through the hallway, admiring the pictures on the walls of you, me, and my sister. Just us. Together. I teared up again and walked faster going to the living room. "Hello?" I called. No answer. "Well, hoping for an answer was a slim chance.." I muttered to myself. I looked over to your bedroom door. It felt, so empty without you. I stood up, What was I doing? I started walking to your room, the chills I felt as I moved closer went up and down my spine. I reached for the doorknob and stopped, "Should I? No, its trespassing.." I whispered to myself. I grabbed the doorknob and gripped tightly, slowly turning it I froze with wide eyes.
*Flashback*
"Meagan! What are you doing? I told you not to go into my room without asking, do you need something?" She smiled and I grinned at her. "You know you can ask me before you take anything of mine." She chuckled. "I know! I just wanted to watch T.V with you mommy!" I giggled and turned to her. She smiled weakly and kneeled down next to me. "I'm sorry honey.. But I have doctors appointment today. Your sister will watch you, okay?" She said and laid a hand on my shoulder. I nodded sadly and asked, "Like a check up? Like what I get?" I smiled. She sighed and smiled sadly.
*Present*
I let go and fell to my knees, letting all the tears fall from my eyes. The burn I felt, it hurt, but it was all worth it. I sobbed, "Why? Why did this-this disease have to take you? Why didn't you beat it?" I hung my head low and let my hair fall in my face, I didn't want this.. Remember? Remember me? I was the coward you tried to make strong, I was the weak and sensitive one you tried to make proud. But that, was just something I'd never be.. I lifted my head and looked at your door. "I-I can do this." I moved my hand up and opened the door, standing up slowly, I pushed the door open. I walked in and bit my lip tearing up. Everything had been left like she had it.. I looked at her nightstand and walked over to it. I picked up her frame that had a picture of me and her. She looked so healthy, so happy. I want her here, to be healthy and happy, and most of all, alive… I set down the frame and looked up, "Mom, I don't know what to do anymore.. Help me. Please. I don't. want to be alone anymore.." I looked down and walked out of her room, going back to mine and sitting on my bed. Reliving the memories we had. I love you mom.. Please, remember me.
