Padgett's POV
I will take you there. That was all Sutton said, he dragged his keys and drove me to the hospital, I was surprised to see Mr and Mrs Adrian right at the hospital.
Padgett! They called as I run to them. What are...
Oh dear! We got a call from the hospital that your mommy was hit by a car, a hit and run car, right now, she is...
The door open to the theatre, we all run to the doctor, he was the one attending to my mommy, I assume because Mr Adrian was asking him about my mommy.
We did everything we could but it didn't go well. The doctor said, Mrs Adrian place her hand around her mouth probably trying not to screamed, I look at the doctor.
What does it mean "that it didn't go well" I asked as my heart beat increase more, it's like all my blood vessels are blocked, there is no way my heart supply blood to other party of my body.
We did everything but it didn't go well. He repeated same words again, but my eyes didn't leave him.
What it means you should start preparing the funeral with the adults and stop asking me questions, I should be talking to the adults not you. He turned to leave, he was cold, like he hold a grudge against me or mommy or so, I really don't know but for once my tears dry, I run to him and grabbed his hand.
No way! My mommy is Mrs Pearl Ryan, she can't die, she will never die.
I will speak to the adults.
Why speak to the adults but not me? I am her only family, why speak to people that are just friends? People, who are not related to her?
It's simple, adults have common sense. He said leaving me behind, I cried, now it's real, she is no more, my mommy is no more and to think I ignored her, I was cold to her, I hated myself for not hugging her this morning before leaving without a proper goodbye because I was in a hurry to leave because of that asshole Cameron.
I squat, as I bury my head on it and cry my heart out, I hated life, my tears refused to stop, Mrs Adrian pulled me into a hugged, I cried in her hand, mommy was my everything, my best friend and all in between.
When we finally get home, they made arrangements for the funeral, it's done that same day, it was like the longest day for me, Sutton was there for me all through the pains, I hugged him so tight like he was my life supporting machine
My phone keeps ringing, when I grabbed, I saw it was Cameron, I remember every bullshit I went through today because of him, I just dumped the phone on the trashed as I cried More.
Cameron's POV.
After Padgett left, I was mad at her for going with Sutton, I saw her dragged him out.
Whoa! She picked someone else over me again. I sighed, the classes where no longer interesting anymore for me, that I just wished it ended pretty fast, my eyes didn't leave Sutton seat because he didn't return back to classes and Alex and Ray were too busy with their new girlfriend that they didn't noticed me.
I too wasn't enjoying the classes, then I realized that Newton hurt her, with that worthless girl, I thought is a saint, I need to punished him. I was really so mad that I punch his face pretty madly, causing me to spend the rest of my day washing the latern when I was done I decided to go home, I went straight to my room, since the entire building was quiet, it's obvious mom and dad are out of town, I trying calling Padgett but she wasn't taking my calls, so I decided maybe, I should give her space, she is probably ignoring me because of the kiss.
The next morning, I was actually enjoying the lesson as our instructor kept making jokes with her lecture, although my heart was still wondering to the reason while Padgett missed class and Emerald including Ray and Sutton until I was interrupted….
Cameron! Did you heard the news?
What news?
Padgett...
What happened to Padgett?
Master Cameron! You should keep it low.
I am sorry ma! I said then turned my gaze to Alex, demanding for explanation.
Padgett, she lost her mom, yesterday, the rest of our friends are there and I only got the information because Emerald texted.
What? I screamed, grabbing my stuff, I could hear my instructor calling out to me but the truth is, nothing matter to me, Alex run after me, I was too trouble to drive.
I wondered how Padgett would be feeling since last night, I was too stupid that I didn't check on her, how could I be so foolish, so as to get mad at her, she is my best friend, even if she pushed me away, I should stay, if she yelled at me, I am not supposed to leave.
My heart sink, when I got to her house, my friends and my parents were attending to the guest that came for condolences, I move to where she was sitting all alone.
Padgett! I called. Hey why didn't you tell me? Did I have to hear about your Mommy from someone else?
Padgett's POV.
When I heard Cameron's voice, I gulped my saliva, then those words from Cathy's came up again. "It's not bad to love someone but bird's of same feathers should flock together, you and Cameron are not in same league, but he and I are of same league, to put it straight to you, you are a roadblock to him and if he ever fall for you, it's a heart break, so save your heart now". I swallow hard then I turned and look at him.
Why do I have to tell you about my mommy? Asked without emotions
Of cause, you have to tell me. He said coming closer then I take a step back. What are you going to do now?
How is that any of your business?
It is, you are my best friend
Do you stick your nosy into every friend of yours, like this? I stared at him in anger.
I am sorry! I don't think this is the best time to talk
Good! Go away!
Do you really want me to go away? He asked as I turned my face from him, in as much as I wanted to hugged him and cry on his shoulder, I wanted to stay away from him because my heart still long for him.
Yes! I don't want to see you again.
I can help you, you should come stay with us, I am sure, mom and dad will, not say no, I could tell...
No! Just go to where you belong, I will go to where I belong. I ran out of the house, Sutton run after me.
You need a fresh air? He open his car door that the roof it's off because it's convertible. I turned and look at Cameron that is running after me.
