WARNINGS

Drug abuse

How could you leave us so unexpected?

We were waiting, we were waiting
For you but you just left us
We needed you, I needed you

Yo, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills
But I do know what it's like to be a witness to kills

Cole remembers when he just 14. He saw his mother on the ground lying perfectly still. Near her was an empty bottle of heroin. he remembers being so scared that her drug addiction finally killed her. When he reached down to check for a pulse on her wrist and was scared to find that she was having trouble breathing. He knew they couldn't afford a hospital so he started giving her CPR and was relieved when it finally worked.

Mama told me she love me, I'm thinking this isn't real
I think of you when I get a whiff of that cigarette smell, yeah

Welcome to the bottom of hell
They say pain is a present, let me out of my cell
You say you proud of me, but you don't know me that well
Sit in my room, tears running down my face and I yell
Into my pillowcases, you say you coming to get us
Then call a minute later just to tell us you not, I'm humiliated
I'm in a room with a parent that I barely know
Some lady in the corner watching us, while she taking notes

Cole was 17 and he just joined a group of people who were training to be ninjas. They thought that he was stone cold and nothing affected him h wanted to keep it that way. At night in his room, he would cry and scream into his pillowcases. he remembers that once he joined a week later she tried to call him but he just hung up the phone not wanting to let in the pain she would surely bring.

I don't get it mom, don't you want to watch your babies grow?
I guess that pills are more important, all you have to say is no
But you won't do it will you? You gon' keep popping 'til those pills kill you
I know you gone but I can still feel you

He visited her a week after they defeated Garmodon. He tried to convince her to stop taking the pills. But she was like a dog with its favorite treats. Never willing to give it up. She was sp distant that he could tell there was no bringing back the old her.

Why would you leave us? Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How could you leave us? Why would you leave us?
Hey

I got this picture in my room and it kills me
But I don't need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing
Now a relationship is something we won't ever have
Why do I feel like I lost something that I never had?

He had a picture of his mom in his room. When the other ninja saw her in the picture they started to ask his question about how he never talks about her? Cole snapped. He told them to mind their own business and leave him alone. he never brought it up again. He remembers feeling so bitter that all that he was a picture of her, not the real thing, Like the others.

You shoulda been there when I graduated
Told me you love me and congratulations
Instead you left us at the window waiting
Where you at mom? What you don't understand is where you at huh?
Yeah, I know those drugs got you held captive
I can see it in your eyes, they got you captured

After the ninja defeated the brothers of time, he once again went to go visit her. He walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. When she answered it, He could see in her eyes that she had become dependable on her drugs. Her mind was broken. He wished so badly that she was like any normal parent. That she wasn't addicted to the drugs, and that she actually cared about her life.

Some say it's fun to get the high but I am not laughing
What you don't realise and what you not grasping
That I was nothing but a kid who couldn't understand
I ain't gon' say that I forgive you cause it hasn't happened
I thought that maybe I feel better as time passes
If you really cared for me, then where you at then?

When he asked her why she liked to get high she had a smile on her face as she told him it's fun, and it makes her feel numb to her emotions.

Why would you leave us? Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How would you leave us? Why would you leave us?
Hey

Our last conversation, you were sat in the living room
Talking 'bout my music and I brought you something to listen to
You started crying, telling me this isn't you
Couple weeks later, guess you were singing a different tune

After a few weeks after his last visit, he came again. He brought some of his music it was funnily enough rock music. It was all depressing and sad songs. She broke down crying telling him that this wasn't him. This made Cole mad as he yelled ¨How would you know? you never take the time to be not high¨. He then stormed out of the house slamming the door.

You took them pills for the last time, didn't you?
They took you from us once, guess they came back to finish you
Crying my eyes out in the studio is difficult
Music is the only place that I can go to speak to you
Took me everything inside of me to not scream at your funeral
Sitting in my chair, that person talking was pitiful

He got a phone call that morning. it was the hospital telling him his mom had just died from a drug overdose. He broke down crying right then and there, the other ninja quickly forming a circle and asking him what was wrong. He stayed like that crying. for the next hour. He finally was able to stutter out to the other ninja that his mom died this morning. He asked them to come to the funeral. Weeks later He was watching as they put her body in the ground a mask on his face while inside he was hurting.

I wish you were here mama but every time I picture you
All I feel is pain, I hate the way I remember you
They found you on the floor, I could tell that you felt hallow
Gave everything you had plus your life to them pill bottles
You gave everything you had plus your life to them pill bottles
Don't know if you hear me or not, but if you still watching ma

He made himself promise that he would never take anything with drugs in them. Pain killers, Sleep medication, or anesthesia.

Why would you leave us? Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How would you leave us? Why would you leave us?
Hey

Sometimes I think about like, sometimes I think about things like, you know, when I have kids, you won't be there, you know? You won't be there for any of that, I'll never get to see you again, sometimes I wish I would have just called you, I wish I would have just picked up the phone, wish you were here, I mean you should of been there for us, you should have been here, those pills got you, right? Them pills got you, right? I wish you were here

Cole wishes so bad that he would have called her back, but he knew he was too late and he would never have the chance ever again.

I know, I know this is probably my saddest one-shot. Tell me if you want more like this or nothing this depressing. So please review!
