On the way to Kiba's house, we were both quiet. All you could hear was me crying. I didn't know why Kiba was calm with this. He was just balling his eyes out at the restaurant. I know this isn't going to be easy. I know how it feels to lose someone to cancer. It hurts me more because it's Kiba's mom. Why did Kiba's mom have to get cancer? Why?

We then pulled into the driveway to his house. We sat there in silence. Finally after about 5 minutes, Kiba opened the door and went inside. I calmed down a bit and went inside after him.

"Is your mom already here?" He shook his head.

"Are you okay?"

"Of course, I'm not. But maybe, just maybe if I act strong for her, she'll be strong for herself. Why did it have to be her?"

"You don't have to act strong now. It's okay if you want to cry. It wasn't easy for me when I found out about my mom. It's never easy being told news like that. But together we can pull through. We just have to stay strong." After I had said that, he just grabbed me and hugged me. I can hear that he started to cry. When he started to cry, I began to cry myself.

"It won't be easy, but just being there for her is good enough." Shortly after I said that, Kiba's mom had walked in and Kiba let go of me and wiped his tears away.

"I just talked to your dad, he said you have to go back in two days." Did she say he's leaving?

"Did you know Kiba?" He nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Now I was getting frustrated. We just found out about his mom and now he's going to leave again.

"I'm not going back though. I can't, I have to be here for you mom." His mom looked disappointed at his decision.

"I'm not letting you stay. You have to go back!"

Kiba's POV

There were no words to describe how I'm feeling. This couldn't be true. It just couldn't. Why did it have to exist? It seemed impossible for something like that to happen. She was strong lady.

But why won't she let me stay?

"Baby, are you okay?" I nodded. I didn't know what to say. All I wanted to do was scream. I was filled with rage, but at the same time I needed to cry.

"Mom can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

"Can you try and convince dad, so I can stay?" I tried to answer as strong as I could. I needed to be strong for her, but at the same time, I needed to be strong for myself.

"I'll try, but he really wants you back."

"No mom! I don't want to go back there! Do you know how lonely it was there?" She never said anything, she just went to the living room. I followed her and sat beside her.

"I'm sorry mom, but I can't go back there." After I said that, she started to cry. I didn't know what to do, so I left. When I left the door, I can hear Hinata calling after me. In my heart I know I hurt her, but I needed to clear my head. I just went in my car and started driving. I didn't know where I was heading, but I just kept on driving.

Shortly after I left, the song on the radio was "Over my Head" by The Fray. Wow, that song again. The last time I heard this song, it was when I was going to tell my mom I was going to be a dad and now I know she has cancer. This couldn't be true. It couldn't.

When I got downtown, it was already getting dark and I saw my buddy Shino. I pulled up beside him and asked him to come in. Everyone knows he can get you anything, so I was going to ask him to get me whiskey. Just to clear my head, but mostly, I wanted to try and forget everything.

"Hey Shino, what's up?"

"Oh nothing, what do you want?" He said that in a crappy tone. I could tell he was having a bad day.

"I'll give you money, can you get me some whiskey?" He nodded, I handed him the money.

When we got to the liquor store, he went in. After he went in, it felt like and eternity, but before you knew it he came out.

"Thanks buddy, you wanna get dropped off somewhere?"

"It's alright, I'll just find something to do here." I nodded and decided to go to the high school field. Before I went there I went the store and bought myself some pop and chips.

I got to the field and parked my car, blasted the music and started drinking. I never really drank, but after I moved to my dads, all I did was drink. Sure it was bad, but my dad never cared. We never had a stable relationship. He would always be at work, and when he did come back, he would try and act like a father. But he was never a father. For as long as I could remember, he was never there. He was always out. He never cared, he only cared about my sister. According to him "She has potential and we'll get far, unlike you." Well that bastard pissed me off!

Shortly after I had a couple cups, my vision started to get blurry. In my head, I thought this was the best feeling in the world. It kept things off of my mind. Somehow this time it was different, something about me drinking this time was off. Like I was sad, I know I was sad, but I didn't want to be. All I wanted to do was forget about everything and listen to music. Even that wasn't good enough.

After I listened to my cd twice, I decided to go back to Hinata's. By then I was finished my bottle of whiskey, very stupid of me. I didn't know what came over me, but when I realized it, I was walking to Hinata's house. I made it to her front doorstep and tried opening the door. When I walked in, to my surprise it was Hanabi.

"Where's my baby?" I slurred my words.

"Are you drunk?" I nodded and proceeded to the couch.

"When did you get back?" I slurred my words again.

"I just got back, the question is, when did you get back and why are you drunk? Hinata will be furious when she comes back. Where is she anyway?"

After she said that the door flung open and the door slammed afterwards. Every little noise in the house was giving me a headache.

"What the hell Kiba? Where's your car?"

"I think it's still at the field." I got up and proceeded to give Hinata a kiss, she just pushed me away. Now I know I'm in trouble. She was scarier then my mother.

"Are you drunk?"

"No, that's crazy, I wo-wouldn't do that."

"Don't lie to me! Is he drunk Hanabi?" She nodded and then she walked towards me and slapped me.

"Why did you leave? Do you know how sad your mom was and for you to go and get drunk!"

"But I-"

"I don't want to hear it, just go shower and go to bed. Do something!" After she said that, my head was spinning and I felt the need to get sick. So I just went to the couch and passed out.
