WAYNE'S POV
Flashback...
"Mom!"...she kept saying that.
"Mom! Please don't go!"....she once again said. Tears started to escape her eyes.
And then I was so worried that I started to hold her hand. She squeezes it tightly so I tighten my hold on her and shake her.
"Sarah! Wake up!"...I called for her name.
End of Flashback...
"Are you okay son?"....my mom asked me.
"Yeah I'm fine"...I softly said.
And a silence had been build up between us that no one dared to speak up until we reached home.
After getting inside. I quickly went upstairs.
I sat on my bed and laid down a bit.
Did she loose her parents?
Why can't I took my mind off to that scene earlier.
Am I worried. Tch! That's ridiculous.
I must take a shower. I've been in the hospital for a week and I haven't take a proper bath.
I went in the bathroom and showered myself. After that I change into a comfortable clothes then decided to go down.
When I went down I saw mom cooking at the kitchen. It's a rare sight to see her like that.
Upon hearing my steps heading down my mom called me.
"Hey son"....she greeted and I smiled a little. "Come here and eat, I cooked your favourite"...she said and I headed towards the table to eat.
There was a soup and pasta, there are other side dishes too but I only took a scoop on the pasta.
While eating I noticed that mom sat across me so I look up to her.
"Is it bad?"...she asked. Now this is awkward. It's been a long time since we have this kind of conversation.
"It's good"..I said and she smiled.
"I'm sorry son,"...she started talking.
"I didn't know you were having such a hard time...I've been a bad mother, I only cared about the business that your dad left. I didn't even remember I have also a son that needs me. I'm sorry Wayne"....she said and held my hand.
I didn't even know I would hear that from her right now.
I was speechless.
"I..It's okay mom, I understand though I rebelled a bit. I admit I felt bad about it. I thought that you already forget about me. I'm sorry too mom"...I said
"You idiot, why would I forget my own son"....she said..and came near me to hug me.
"I love you Wayne"...she whispered while leaning on my head. "I love you too Mom"...I said and tighten the hug.
I'm glad me and my mom have reconciled.
"Mom"...I called her and she turned a head on me. "What is it?"...she asked.
"I'm just gonna head out".. I said.
"Where to?"
"Lucas and Mark and...Daniel?"...I said...and she just stares at me before sighing deeply.
"Just be careful okay, I can't handle to see you get hurt again"...she said. "I'm off to work, I left some foods there so make sure to eat and take your medicine on time okay?"...I nod and quickly left the house.
I sat on the car but I didn't start the engine.
Those scenes earlier kept my mind curious.
It's just, it's too fast, I mean many things had happened and one of them was meeting her.
Those screams, and her tears kept on bugging me.
But before I could jump to any conclusions, I ignored all the thoughts I have in my head.
Besides there's no use in thinking such things, It's not my business after all.

After getting those thoughts out of my mind, I went to meet my friends.
"Hey dude"...Lucas greeted, together with a teasing expression plastered on his face. "What?"...I asked nonchalantly.
"I thought you were dead, It's like you haven't shown up for years"...Daniel said chuckling. "Oh shut up, it's only been a week but it's like hell"...I said.
"Why would it be hell, you've got company?"...and now they're at it.
"Just shut up, and let's not talk about it, I'm trying to forget here okay?"...I saod diverting the topic to something else.
"By the way how'd you end up getting beaten?"...Daniel asked.
"Some dude accused me for stealing his girl, sigh"...I explained.
"Who did?"...now it's crane who's talking. "Brandon"...I said.
"What?! You mean Brandon Skye?"....they all said in unison.
"Y...yeah?"...I said...
"Oh man, you've got to be kidding me"...Lucas sighed and masaage his forehead.
"What?"...I asked.
"He's a..."..then he stopped.
"Explain it man,"...Lucas then tapped Daniel's shoulder. "He is the fearest, bully man"....there he said.
"Tss! Is that what you wanted to tell me? I've known it ages ago,"...I said not minding their reaction. They really thought I didn't know huh?
"Oww...kay, when?"
"I heard from him"...I announced.
"Okay given iy like that, I mean you know him, so What if..."Crane suddenly stops in the middle of his sentence.
"What if he get back to us?"...Daniel finished it. "You know those guys, can't stop until he gets what he wanted"
"Tsk! There's no way he'll do it"...I playfully said and stood up from my chair. I went out and ignored my friends worried faces.
As I walk through the corridors. I noticed that most of the classes are starting.
I walked until I reached my room. The professor was already there but he's not starting the class yet so I took my time to enter.
I walked past them and silently reached my chair to seat.
While I am sitting, one empty chair beside Lesley, caught my attention.
I wonder why wasn't she here....
Nevermind, besides, she isn't worthy of my thoughts. So I diverted my gaze towards my desk.
I am holding my pen and endlessly making a sound with it.
"Eh...eherm!"....I heard an annoying sound coming from my side so I took I look at it.
It was him, the professor. He even smiled at me. "Do you mind stopping that stupid act of yours"....he said with a sarcastic tone.
But then same as old times. I will ignore him like I heard nothing or even see.
"Sigh,"...See, he left sighing away.
While making his way down to front, he even mumbled such words.
"Sigh, Kids these days, they don't even know the word respect, those brats are really!"....he said, annoyed and took a short a glance at me but I smiled playfully at him.
He glared at me again before slamming the book he was holding at the table. "Students!"....he called out.
"Get your books, and turn to page 21"...he announced.
And even though he's like that, I took my book out and turn to the page he just announced.
"Now, I want you to read it and understand it, and after that Write a report about it and submit it to me to.orrow morning!"....he said before returning to his chair.
He was about to sit when a loud thud caught our attention. It came from the door.
And since our professor is very strict, he went all the way through the front door and wauted for someone to open it on the outside.
*Door Opens*
I can't see anything but from the corner of my eye I saw our professor smirking.
