"Sean said to give this to you." My mother had a guilty look on her face as she handed it to me. Mom had come to visit me, but it was a school day so it was just a quick check in before she drove back for work.
"Oh, can't he come tonight?" I blinked at the folded note.
"No, he said he couldn't. I have to get to work. Bye Jess." My mom left in a hurry. After mom left I put the letter on my bedside table without reading it. I figured I could read it later, when I wasn't so exhausted. When I woke up again it was about an hour later. I grabbed the letter off the table and opened it.
"Dear Jessica,
I'm so tired of this. You've gotten so attached to me but all I feel for you is pity. Just stay away from me. I'm tired of having a charity case to look after. I already have to watch over my sister.
Sean"
"Um...Jessica, can I talk to you?" A doctor came into the room. "Your mother was in a car accident this morning. She was admitted to the hospital but...she didn't make it." I stared at the doctor blankly. It barely processed in my mind.
"Is that so...?" I mumbled. "Then I have nothing left here..." my mind faded into blackness. When I woke up again I was alone. My mind blank I got up and walked out of the room.
"Doctor, I think I'll accept the offer to go to the medical facility in Japan."
"I heard what happened to your mom, are you sure it is..."
I cut him off. "I want to go. I have nothing keeping me here."
"Very well...You can stay here overnight. I'll call the Mr. Ootori tonight to discuss your admittance into his special research facility in Japan."
"Thank you doctor. I think I'll go back to sleep now." I went to my room and lay down.
