About 6 years ago...

"Mommy, can you bring me a glass of water?"
I ask. Mother gets up and leaves the room to get me water. I look on her nightstand
"...A flower?"
I reach out from the warm, comfortable bed to touch it
"So pretty!"
The flower droops almost as soon as I touch it. I frown at the sight and put it back down
"...It needs water."
Mother opens the door and hands me the cup of water
"It's okay, Mommy. I dont need it. Use it for the flower!"
I say. Mother looks confused.
"...Flower? When did that get here?"
mother mumbles and grabs the glass. She places the stem inside the cup and places it back on the nightstand.
"It's time for you to go to bed."
She lays down next to me and tucks me in

She kisses me on the forehead

"Goodnight, I love you."
I don't answer. It doesn't even cross my mind to say I love you back. I close my eyes and sleep

A few hours later, in the middle of the night, I hear mother yell my name. I wake up. Maybe she said it in her sleep? She looks asleep. What- what is that red stuff on her? It smells odd. I lean down and smell it

"Mommyyyy"

I whine and shake her
"Mommyyy wake upppp"
I shake her again and think
"...She must be in really deep sleep."
I shake her a bit harder and yell for my sister. My sister walks inside the room
"What is it?"

Her eyes widen, and she looks horrified
"MOM!!! MOM NO!!!"
I'm confused
"What's wrong? Do you know why she won't wake up from her slumbe-"
Sister interuppts me
"SHES DEAD!!"
