~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 12 Mothers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'My mom was strong…it's still hard to believe that it's been five months already.' I thought staring out the window of my small townhouse as I sat on the window seat. The fall wind blew harshly and the fallen multi-colored leaves scattered. The sky was gray and one could here the distant thunder rumbling in the background. 'It was like this the day mom died.' I thought remembering the day as though it was yesterday.

"Mom when are you gonna be home?" I said casually as I grabbed an apple and started eating.

"Christi, you'll spoil your appetite if you keep eating, and not to mention if you gain any more weight you'll break right through the floor." My mom said smirking as she picked up her briefcase and fixed her, already perfect, long dirty blond hair.

"Ok, now that's mean I am not fat, and apples are good for you!" I said taking another bite into the apple. "And you never answered my question." I said swallowing.

"I'll be home by seven I promise, and don't forget we have Chinese tonight so you better be home on time. Also your father is going to be gone until late today so behave." She said grabbing an energy drink and heading toward the door. "Don't forget that I have a meeting today so no calls unless it's an emergency."

"Fine, love you." I said as she walked out the door.

"Love you to!" she called back; shutting the door, for what I didn't know would be the last time I ever saw my mother again.

That day I went over to Noah's house and when I got home at seven my mom wasn't there, but dad and a police officer were. I remember the look on my dad's face when he saw me, the strongest man that I had ever known looked at me with tears in his eyes and told that me mom was dead. All I could do was stand there; I remembered that a weird smile appeared on my face as I shook my head, thinking that it had to be some sort of sick joke. "No," I remember saying "you're lying, she's not…she's not dead!" I remember how my dad pulled me into hug, his body shaking, telling me that he was sorry.

I never really cried until the funeral two weeks later, when they took her body away and the cruel sickening realization that she was never coming back hit me, and when it did it hit me hard. The feeling that I had was like drowning, I couldn't breathe, my chest hurt so bad and I wanted it to end so bad. I remember falling to the ground holding myself, crying, practically hysterical. I remember the feeling of Noah's arms wrapping around me that day, telling me that it was gong to be ok, 'maybe not now, but it will be ok.' I clung to him and his words for dear life that day, but that feeling that I had…it was still inside me, and I doubt it will ever go away. I just have to live with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I remember telling my friends that it was ok, that at least she wasn't in any pain now. I wish that I could have at least said goodbye though. Maybe if I had I wouldn't be feeling like this, like was sick and drowning deep down. I wanted my mom back so bad; I'd do anything to have just five minutes with her.

I felt the tears burning in my eyes and quickly wiped them away 'I can't cry, if I do it won't do any good, it'll just hurt more.' I thought. 'My heart hurts right now though, I want the pain to stop so badly, but there's nothing I can do is there?' I thought bringing a hand up to my heat and gripping the soft fabric of my t-shirt. "And now I could loose another person I care about. God my heart hurts so badly right now!' I couldn't stop the tears any longer and they began to flood over.

I wasn't like this most of the time, normally I smiled and dealt with it, but now the pressure has finally built up to much and I needed to let it out. I curled up into a ball and started sobbing 'Only this one more time, then it has to stop, I can't do this forever, no, I won't do this forever. I'll be strong just like mom, and I won't let myself break this easily ever again.' I thought burying my head in my knees.

~Before I fall to fast, kiss me quick but make it last~

My cell phone rang in the background. It was Noah's ring tone. I brought my head up and looked at the phone.

~so I can see how badly this will hurt me when you say goodbye~

I blinked the tears away and picked up the phone. "Yeah?" I cringed at the sound of my voice, sounded so…weak, pathetic; broken.

"Hey, are you ok?" he asked, his voice full of concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine, what's up?" I said wiping the tears away.

"You don't sound fine."

"I'm fine, just…what's up?"

"Fine, well it's James, the doctors say he's ok, he'll be fine."

My heart stopped for a moment and I stared forward, hand dropping down next to me. 'he's ok' the words rang through my mind, more tears forming. "He's ok?" I questioned praying that it was true.

"Yeah."

I brought a hand up to my face as the tears once again spilled over. "He's ok." I whispered, my voice shaking happily. "Um, ok, um, I'll be there soon." I said getting up quickly and running to the door.

"Christi…are you ok?"

"Yeah, now I am, I got to go but I'll see you soon." I said running down the stairs, blond hair flowing and emerald eyes shimmering with tears.

"Ok, be safe, see you soon." And with that the conversation was over. I hung up the phone and stuffed it into my pocket, bringing out my car keys, and running out the front door. I ran to my car and shoved the key into the lock and opened the door swinging myself in. I put the key in the ignition and buckled myself in, as I started to drive. I didn't prefer driving but I wanted to the others so badly. I needed to be with them, but for some reason I really 'needed' to be with them. I couldn't explain it but it was true.

The drive to the hospital would only take about twenty minutes, but it would feel like an eternity. I took a shot cut closer to the woods trying to make shorter time when someone practically jumped out at the car. I swerved out of the way and stopped the car. I unbuckled myself and opened the door quickly. 'What the fuck is there problem.' I thought as I approached the man. I stopped and stared at him wide eyed as the man looked at me, his body covered in cuts and bruises.

"You, girl, I need you to take me to the hospital." He said.

I stared at him for a moment before realizing he wasn't alone. A man, much older then the one in front of me, was propped up against a tree nearby. The older man was in much worse condition then the younger and obviously needed to be taken care of, and soon.

"Correction I need you to take us to the hospital." He said quickly walking to the other man, picking him up carefully, and looking back at me.

I stood there for a moment before nodding and quickly walking back to the car and opening the back door. The man, who looked to be about in his early twenties, walked over to the car and gingerly set the elder man down in the car, "Don't worry Mr. A will get help soon." He whispered to the elder before getting in next to him.

My mind, along with my heart, was racing at this point. 'What the hell is going on? What happened to these two? What the hell am I doing?' I thought before quickly getting into the car and driving. "Who are you two?" I asked almost automatically.

"My name is Jonathan, Jonathan Hogan. The man next to me is Sampson Aldridge."

"Why does that name seem familiar?" I asked more to myself then to Jonathan.

"It doesn't matter, but you have to hurry."

"What happened to you two?"

"It doesn't matter just hurry up!" he practically yelled.

I glared back at him slightly, but speed up. He was right we had to hurry, looking at Mr. Aldridge's injuries they've got to be pretty deep. The rest of the trip was spent in silence and after what seemed like an eternity we finally reached our destination. I pulled the car to a stop in front of the tall white building and got out quickly following Jonathan, who had taken Mr. Aldridge in his arms and had started to head in.

"I need help!" He yelled the second he got inside. Doctors came running over to the two and quickly got a bed for Mr. A and rushed him out yelling orders at each other while several other doctors went to Jonathan, taking him as well, thought he said he had to stay with Mr. A. I watched silently as he ran off after the man while the doctors tried to convince him otherwise.

"Christi!" I heard a voice call over the fading commotion.

"Noah, you won't believe what just happened I-no um, where's James's room I asked. Noah pointed in a direction and began walking.

"What was that whole thing about back there?" he asked curiously, as we started up one flight of stairs.

"I'll tell you later."

"Fine, but James is awake!" he said as we walked through a door and down the bleach white hall. I looked around and finally began to smell that weird smell that all hospitals smelled like. I hated it, it smelled like a mixture of sanitizer, sickness and worst of all death. I shuddered at the thought of it when we came to a stop in front of a room. "Is this it." I questioned looking in, and sure enough there James was laying on a bed with Michael and the twins around him.

"They just got here." He said pointing to the twins, who ran over and hugged her.

"Hey guys." I said hugging them back. I loved the twins so much, when I was with them it felt so right, like I really was a mother hugger her children. The twins embrace loosened after a moment and they ran back to James's side. James looked up at me and smiled. "Hey James." I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking. "How are you holding up?" I asked walking over to him and taking his hand. He felt so cold..

"O-ok." He said, I could feel him start shaking and he looked away.

"That's good, I was really worried about you." 'He has no idea.'

"S-sorry, didn't…s-s-sorry."

"It's ok." I said kneeling down next to him. "You're fine now and that's all that matters."

He looked up at me, smile playing on his lips, before nodding. I just smiled warmly at him, remembering how my mother used to smile at me. The twins looked at each other a moment before grabbing Michael, Noah, and I and making us all give a group hug to James, which none of us minded doing.

I liked the feeling that suddenly rushed through my body, it felt right, like…like it's supposed to feel this way. It really felt like a family, no the feeling was even closer then that, I couldn't even describe it. I held the group tighter and smiled brightly…'Wow, I…I actually feel happy.' It was a stupid thought but it was true, every time I smiled when I wasn't around them was fake, but now it actually feels real. I felt the tears in my eyes but held them back even thought they weren't the sad tears I was used to.

Slowly the group separated and it was silent for a while, but not an awkward silence, it was the type of silence that you needed when you were thinking. I couldn't help but wonder if they had the same feeling that I did, but I wouldn't ask. 'Huh, it's weird mom I never thought that I could be this happy without you here.' I thought looking down at the ground. 'But, I'm glad, glad that I can be this happy. It feels wrong thinking it but I like this feeling, that it's ok, that for right now at least, everything's ok.'

"Christi?" Noah said, his voice concerned. "What's wrong, why are you crying?"

'I'm crying?' I thought bringing a hand up to my face. The moist droplets fell onto my when I did. I stood there for a moment before looking up smiling. "Nothing, nothing's wrong, I'm just happy that's all." I said looking at James "You really had me worried for a moment." I said. Suddenly I felt two pairs of arms wrapped around me, and I looked down to the twins clinging to me faces buried into my t-shirt. I looked around and saw the other three smiling at us, and I couldn't help but smile back, putting my hands on the top of the boys' heads.

'Mom, I don't think I want this feeling to go away. I want it to stay like this forever, without pain or hurt. I want it to stay like this.' I thought holding the twins tighter. 'Mother, thank you for being there for me, and watching over me, but…I think I'll be ok now.' I thought looking at the others. 'No, I will be ok.'
