jackson went to asiah's room , and as soon as he opened the door , loren saw something diffrent in jackson , he was actaully happy , something she wasn't used to see . she looked back at asiah " you had something to do with it dont you " , asiah nodded . " so , how did it go ? " asiah asked . " it didn't go smoothly at the begining but , it eventaully worked out " said jackson , " its nice to hear that " asiah replied . loren was looking at both of them , not understanding whats going on or what are they talking about , " ok , could someone please explain to me what are you two talking about ? " loren asked . jackson offered to explain to her , " asiah found my mom , i met her , we talked , and , she said that after she finishes her treatment that she will see what she can do to get me to live back with her again " jackson said in high spirits . " thats great news ! , im so happy for you " , loren stood up and gave him a hug .
then jackson was not done with asiah yet , so he drove his attention back to him again , " asiah , thanks , i dont know what i would do without you , i can keep going on and on in thanking you but it will never be enough , the things you did to me are , uncountable , i owe you so much , and i seriosly dont know how to repay you " jackson honestly spoke . asiah seemed a little angry , " jackson , i told you this millions of times , brothers owe each other nothing , i've always wanted to have a little brother , so i took the resposibilaty of taking care of you as my little brother , wether you like it or not , i've been in your shoes before , and no one helped me out , and i hate to see that happening for you " asiah said , jackson smiled , he was really blessed , and he didn't know , he had something lots of people don't have " REAL FRIENDS " . thats the best thing anyone could ever have , " im lucky to have you guys by my side " jackson said , " you should call your other friends and let them know about it , they deserve to know don't you think ? " loren asked , " yeah , they do " .
jackson got his cell phone out and dailed melissa's number , Anxiosly waiting for her to pick up . " hi , jackson " answered melissa cheerfully , " hey mel , whats up ? " , she could feel the exitment in his voice , and she couldn't wait to hear what he had to say , " you sound happy , i have a feeling that you are about to give me some good news " , melissa said . " yeah , some hell of a good news " jackson shouted . " woah , can't wait to hear them " , " mel , asiah found my mom , i met her , but she is sick , if she survived , she will do her best to make me come back and live with her again " , jackson said , and there was a tiny bet of dissapointment in his voice . of course melissa felt that he was a little sad so she tried cheering him up " don't worry , she will make it through " , " yeah , i hope so " jackson responded , " ok , the whole gang is gonna be at nathan's house today , so , are you coming ? " melissa asked , " yeah , probably " , " ok then see ya there , bye " . " bye " jackson hung up .
so , jackson said good bye to asiah and loren and went back to his mom's place , they both sat down to discuss what his mom had . " so , what are type of treatment or therapy are you going through ? " jackson asked . " well , you know i used to smoke alot in the past , and you know i was addicted to drugs , so , all of this resolved me having a heart diseas , they tried giving me pills at first , it didn't work , then , my last Diagnoses showed that i had to perform surgery , a very risky one , and then i should stay a few more days in the hospital in recovery if the surgery succeeded " his mother explained . " when is the surgery scheduled ? " jackosn asked . " next tuesday " , his mother answered . " you know the day after your surgery is ....." , " your birthday " , jackson's mother interupted .
" how could i ever forget that ? " his mother continued " and i have a surprise for you " she said . " what is it ? " , jackson curiously asked . " you have to wait for your birthday to find out , and don't worry , im gonna make it " . " yeah , and i will be there for you mom " jackson hugged her . " now you should go to your friends , you cant't keep them waiting much longer than this , im sure they miss you terribly " his mom said , " i guess you're right " he stood up , and said goodbye to his mom , then drove to nathan's house .
when he arrived , he was excitedly welcomed by his friends , he told them every thing that happened along with him , even the recent conversation he had with his mom before he came here . even though these were good news , they could feel that jackson was kind of stressed , they couldn't blame him , no one would want to be in the same bad situation he was in . jackson wanted to go to the bathroom , so they all took the opportunity and gathered around each other , " i think jackson went through alot the past few days , so , what do you say we keep his mind off of it for a while " nathan suggested . " yeah , but what can we do ? " daily asked . seconds passed by , and melissa came up with an idea , " i know , next wednesday is his birthday , lets throw him a surprise birthday party " . " what do you think guys ? " nathan asked , and everyone agreed , " ok , until next wednesday , its a secret between us , jackson should not know about this in any way , are we clear ? " daily said , and they all understood .
the next monday's eve .
" are you nervouse ? , the surgery is a few hours away " jackson asked his mother , looking really concerened . " actaully , im not , i have a good feeling about this , and besides , there are lots of important things that i need to do " , " such as ? " jackson said . " well , i want to make it up for all the mistakes that i have done in my life , so , im telling the police about those drug dealers i used to work with , and i will expose everything about them " . " but mom , isn't that dangerous ? if they found out they are going to kill you " jackson said , totally freaking out and really hoping for his mother to just forget about this and change her mind . " how could they possibly know jackson ? , don't worry , every thing will be ok sweety " , she kissed her son in his cheek and ruffled his hair . " MOM ! " jackson whined as in im not a kid so you can't do this to me . " what ? , i didn't get to see you as a kid , so could you please get along with me ? " . jackson laughed , " fine , but as long as its not in public " . so jackson spent that night at the hospital , waiting for the surgery that was gonna take place first thing in the morning , praying for it to be a new begining to a new wonderful life , not a begining of a new reminder of his messed up life .
so ? good ? bad ? not so much ? review please .
