WHITNEY

Addams's private airplane was too slow to come, then he
immediately bought the helicopter which was on the island, and they offered us a pilot.

I couldn't stay there for too long It was as if my heart would stop beating.
I couldn't believe what was said, mom couldn't, she couldn't...

I didn't dare utter this word, it was impossible it could be real, I had never heard her complain about any pain she had, nor any diseases.

I was lost in my thoughts, silence reigned on our way back home.

How have I dared leave her alone and go for a trip? I felt a guilty pierce my heart.
It was my fault, I didn't care about her, I was supposed to look after her, but I left her alone.

"Stop carrying it alone, I am with you, and I am sure it is just a little malaise" he tried his best but it was impossible to calm me. My heart was swallowed by just the thought of her departure, tears dropped down my cheeks without any control.

I couldn't hide my pain, "I am sure that If I was present things would have never been like that" I expressed bitterly, I was hurt.

"You can't predict things, don't embody this guiltiness" he remembered,

I was speechless, my heart didn't stop racing and the beat increased when Addams' phone rang.

I rushed to him to see who was calling, and it was always a call from his dad.

"Allo..!" he said, this time he couldn't hide his stress and anxiety. He was as anxious as I was.

"Hurry..! she is claiming your presence. She wants to see Whitney, hurry up"

Tears dropped down my cheeks, hell was it true? How Mama managed to be in this pitiful state. She was feeling well some hours ago.

"Come to the Wilson hospital, it is where she is" Mr. Wilson announced.

Why was she in this man's hospital?
If this man has tried something against my mama, this time I would never forgive him, never.

We reached The hospital, the helicopter was on the rooftop of the edifice, and I rushed out as fast as it was stationed.

Rushing to find my mother's chamber, with the hope in my heart that it was just a simple illness, my eyes were filled with tears, which blurred my vision.

I stumbled as I was climbing down the stairs and almost fell onto the ground when Addams powerful arm sustained me.

He had received a text from his dad which indicated where my mother was.

It was just at one stage under where we were standing. We climbed down those stairs as faster as our legs could carry us.

I saw Jelena, Nelson, and Mr. Wilson in front of the entrance. Jelena was sobbing, and Nelson comforted her. This scene described a lot for me.

As I reached them, Mr. Wilson stop Addams and let me enter the hall alone.
I saw my mother under oxygen. She didn't move a thumb, as if she was senseless, already dead.

My eyes widened open and I let out a sob, I couldn't believe what my eyes were witnessing.
I ran and fell on my knees on her bed, crying her name.

"Mom, what is wrong, what happened, you can't leave me alone mum. Not you mom please" I moaned with tears uncontrollably running down my cheeks. My heart was broken into a thousand pieces.

The doctor came and held me as I was angrily shaking her bed.

"Sorry..!" the doctor said.

"What is wrong with her doctor? what is she suffering from?" I questioned

"She had a heart attack, I can't explain how she managed to be alive until now, it is surely the will to see you which maintains her alive. However, she can't pass this day " His words stabbed my heart, as a dagger.

"When did It start? she never had it before?" I expressed my hand on his blouse. I needed an explanation.

"It is due to the stress she accumulated during all these years. Sorry, but to be true it is just a miracle that can make her survive" He responded.

"Don't tell such a shit she would overcome this as she always did face every situation" I growled, I was angry, Devastated, the only reason she stressed was because of me, I killed my mother.

"Don't worry yourself because of me" her soft voice alerted my hearing.

I whirled immediately to face her, a spark of hope born inside my heart.

She had removed the oxygen, always thinking of me even when she was at her worst.

She smiled and made me a sign with her hand to tell me to come closer, on my knees, I crawled, there was no more strength in my feet.

She cuddled my cheeks, wiping away the tears coming down.

"Why are you crying?" she asked with an interrupted breath.

"Mama wears your mask" I tried to put it on her nose.

"I don't have too much time, let me give you my last will before I should pass away" she murmured.

"Don't talk about such a shit mum, we will be back home together and I will take care of you as never I did before" I expressed, she always refused to put on her mask.

She smirked, a smirk melted with tears, sorrow, with regret.

"I just wanted to see your kids, I hoped to be a grandmother" she sobbed, her heart beating increased and the air became difficult to have.

"You will see them, mum, you will see all of them, I will make you feel the happiest mom" I replied, my thumbs on her cheeks, wiping the tears.

"You have already made me feel the happiest I would have ever believed, you are my heaven's blessing" she caressed my cheeks.

"Please let Addams come in" She demanded.

He entered rushing himself toward us.
"Mom..!" he called, struggling against the tears almost on his cheeks.

Mom smiled, always with this smile on her lips.
"You are too beautiful together," she said.

"Before I leave this world, promise me you will always be together,"

"Make her feel the happiest as you always did" she expressed.

I let out a cry, I couldn't believe my mother was leaving me like that.

With a smile, she added "I am still waiting for your promise"

"I promise mom" Addams expressed, wiping away the tears, he hadn't succeeded this time to retain them.

"She is stubborn, but don't leave her please, whatever would happen, just remember she loves you" Mom uttered, with her voice slowly coming down.

My breath was harsh, my heart pounding as I looked at the scene, mom was going.

"No, no, no mom you can't leave me" I cried.

With a smile, she slowly closed her eyes and felt inert.
This was the last thing, I saw of my mother, her smile.

"Mama..!!!!" I yelled, and growled, holding her body, this body that supported me my whole life.
She was no more of this world. Addams was silently sobbing behind me, I felt my body leaving me, and I collapsed. My only family disappeared.
