Part 2: Sadness
After all these days without any problems and so on, the saddest and most horrible day of our life had to come. This day changed our whole life. After that, we were not the same anymore. It was probably the day, our mother died. Yes, it was really horrible for us all. Terri often had nightmares about the day. So did I. But somehow I could fight it off.
It was a usual good day in the school. It was Friday and everybody couldn't wait for the weekend. We had not much trouble in the classes. Except in the math class. Terri and I couldn't understand anything about it. It started in the last class of the day. Only five minutes was left until the end. Suddenly, our father entered the classroom. We were very surprised because he was usually working all day long in the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. He looked very down and out. His facial expression looked so dark. "What are you doing here, Daddy?" I asked to him and went out of the class along with Terri. The teacher allowed it to us. "I can't explain. It's so sad. Let's get out of here first." Our father said. He still worked in the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant as a supervisor and rarely had time for us. He aged a bit through the years but was still handsome as usual. His name is Derek Wakefield anyway. Well, we got out of the school after few minutes all the classes ended. We drove into the Springfield Residential Hills.
We didn't know anything what he wanted to do here. "So. I think we are all alone here." Our dad Derek said. Terri was very curious and looked afraid at the same time. So did I. "Girls, Don't be too shocked." Dad said and suddenly began to cry. "My wife, your mother. just died one hour ago. I can't believe it, too. She was hit by a big truck in the front of the Monsto Mart." He explained. I just couldn't believe it. Mom was dead. We were speechless and couldn't move at all. It was hurting deep inside of us. Tears slowly rolled down out of my eyes. Terri slowly began to cry, too. She leaned her head against my shoulders. She cried on my shoulders. She just felt the same like me. Our dad was quiet and tried to fight the pain inside. Terri became really pale and sweated a lot. We didn't have much time to cry around here in the hills because dad had to go back to work. He drove us to home. We had to be there very alone. And our mother wasn't there for us anymore.
Terri and I just couldn't believe it at all. We cried in our room for hours long. The tears didn't stop to roll down. We were holding each other so close. Like we never did before. We had the lights out in our room. It was really dark and the day was already pretty cloudy. "How could something like that happen right now? Why?" Terri screamed with tears in her eyes and tried to not to believe it. Her skin was getting cold and her eyes became bloody red. I later noticed that she even had more pain than I did it. Mom loved both us more than anything and cared for us every time. She was also a big role model for us. She was a powerful woman and won't give up quickly to someone. Her name was Boa. Yes, Boa Wakefield. Her mother hailed from China. We actually never met our grandmother. She ran away to somewhere after she gave the birth to our mom.
I covered my twin sister with a thick blanket. I already stopped to cry and suddenly started to care about her. She was still sweating and crying. I gave my best to comfort her. It took many minutes until she stopped crying. "Are you doing better now?" I asked to her. "Yes, Thank you." She said and even gave me a quick smile despite all the sadness about the death of our mother. Her smile was really warm and was like sunshine. I always thought that her smile was much better than mine even if we were twins.
We missed many days in the school due to all the sadness and pain. Terri and I mostly stayed at home very alone. Our dad used to come home very late and he was always too tired to do something with us. We knew that he felt sorry for it. He often even prepared the breakfast for us in the next days just like our mother did. Well, we surprisingly used to not to be annoyed about him at all for having no time for us. We knew he was a nice man.
"This is getting boring." Terri said as we were watching TV. I turned it off and started to think about what we could do to kill the time. We looked at all the past yearbooks from the school. I thought that we looked a way too same with the same hair and clothes from our first year in the school till last year in the eight grade. We still had the same hair and looked very same if we didn't wear different clothes. "Haha, Do you remember all the good old times in the elementary school?" I said to her while pointing at us in the group picture of the fourth grade. "Yes, Those were really funny days." Terri said and she seemed to really like to remember the good old days.
We came back to the school after almost one week. Everybody felt so sorry and sad about us. Even more since we were the sport stars in the school. "I know how painful it must be for you all. And it must be sad than anything. I was like that, too as I once lost my cat. But losing someone who was most important in the life and gave the life to you is horrible than anything." Lisa said and hugged us. We thanked to her and tried to be better friends with her than ever before. She helped us a lot in the hard times.
We forgot about the horrible loss of our mother all day long but it came back to our mind late in the night. It was really terrible and we also used to cry while sleeping. Terri told me that she still always dreamed of mom. I also dreamed of her and us in the older days where nothing was wrong with us since she took care of us all the time.
