BULLIED//Jonah Marais//COMPLETED

17. Explainations

I woke up with a serious headache.

I looked around and noticed I was in a bed.

It wasn't my bed.

This isn't even my room.

I don't think there is a room in my house that looks like this.

Then everything that happened came flooding back.

I was told my mom was on the hospital

I was comforted in the hall by an unknown person

I left school early

All the reporters and paparazzi

Seeing my mom...in the hospital bed...

...

...Mom died yesterday...

I started sobbing

Moms gone. I don't have anyone now. She was my only reason to keep fighting. To stay alive. At least now I can die without hurting someone else.

My thoughts came back to wondering where I am.

I remember falling and hitting my head

That explains the headache

Wait...

A boy saved me yesterday

Who?

I got up from the bed and made my way to the bedroom door.

I opened it and quietly walked down the hall and down the stairs.

I smelt bacon and eggs.

I followed the smell into the kitchen where an aged woman was cooking while humming a song.

She looked up and noticed me. She smiled and motioned to a seat at the table.

I sat down and stayed silent.

Soon enough a young boy came into the kitchen.

"Well I guess the girl left. She's not in the room anymore. I hope she's okay, that was a serious hit she had" the young boy spoke with a southern accent. The woman just cleared her throat and motioned to me.

The boy looked at me, I just smiled and waved.

"I hope you two are hungry" the woman spoke before sitting bowls of food on the table.

"Sawyer get some plates and silverware out" a man spoke as he entered the room.

"Yes sir" sawyer replied as he jumped out of his chair and to the cabinet. He grabbed four plates and forks and sat them on the table.

He went to the cabinet again and grabbed some cups.

"Ma'am what would you like to drink?" He asked me

"Um... some water please"

"Coming right up" he smiled

The woman leaned over to the old man and whispered something.

"There ya go" sawyer said in his thick southern country boy accent as he placed a glass of ice water in front of me.

"Okay everyone, dig in" the woman said with a smile

We all started fixing our plates. I didn't get much food. I wasn't really hungry but I didn't want to seem rude and not eat the meal the woman fixed.

We were eating when someone finally spoke up

"So, dear, what's your name?" The woman asked

"My name is Cyryn. Cyryn Johnson"
