Without warning, my tears were already pouring out. My dad explained her fatal heart attack to me, but I could barely hear. My mind was jumbled with all the memories of my amazing mother. Unfortunately, my dad was already flying off to Maine to see my grandparents.

I felt like I just lost everything. My mom knew everything about me, she always did. I loved her more than I had anyone else, she was my best friend. I couldn't help but cry, it was all I could do. The pain was numbing my entire body, forcing me to stay put. I knew there was no bringing her back with my sobs, but I cried anyways. I needed it.

Now all I needed was someone else. Someone to tell me that everything was going to be fine, that even though she was amazing, I was going to be OK.

"Grace! Whats wrong?" I didn't even have to look to know it was Alex. My tears were still freshly flowing when he sat down and wrapped himself around me. I needed someone, so I automatically wrapped my arms around him too and buried my face in his chest.

"What happened?" he asked with fear that I was hurt or something in his voice. I knew if I even said anything, he wouldn't be able to understand through the tears. He waited and still held me close. I was beginning to calm down, so I finally said something.

"It's iii-it's," I stuttered, "my mom." another sob broke loose. He already knew what I meant.

"Oh Grace I'm so sorry." he said with utter and complete sincerity. I felt warm sitting with him, "Everything is going to be OK, Grace. We all care about you, we'll get you through this." he said, stroking my cheek.

Once my sobbing slowed down a bit, I finally forced myself off the couch and away from Alex. This didn't stop him. Once my body was stable, he got up and immediately re-wrapped himself around me. I was in pain, so I went with it. He was the only there for me at the moment.

I unwrapped myself from his grasp and decided to go find Jack. He was who I needed. But when I walked into the room, Jack wasn't there. I felt another surge of pain hit me right in the stomach. I needed him but he wasn't there.

"Where's Jack?" I said with fresh tears rolling down my face.

"Downstairs, why?" Alex said with concern. I didn't answer, I was going to go get him.

"Where is he?" I asked again.

"Food court, what is going on?" I rushed out of the hotel room as fast as possible without a word. I hurried down to the food court as fast as I could to get to Jack. Once I was on the main floor, I saw the sign for the food court and ran in that direction.

I turned the last corner. And there he was.... sitting with another girl. I felt doubly broken inside. I felt as though I was going to just turn into Jell-o and fall down right at that second.

"Grace?" I heard someone ask from a far. I turned to see Zack, confused and out of breathe. He must of followed me down here. Without looking back at Jack and mystery girl, I sprinted to Zack.

I jumped into his arms and started the emotions all over again. I had just lost the most important person in my life, and now Jack is blowing me off. I wanted to leave, now. Leave for good. But being with Zack made things slightly better.

"Alex told me what happened, are you OK Grace?"

I nodded, 'no' into his shoulder and he pulled me closer. I was far from OK, I was devastated.
