"Last Year"

Last year, Jeffery's mom died, which is the reason why he lives alone. She died in the hospital after her car was hit by a drunk driver who crossed a red light at an intersection while his mom's car was going.

The guy's car hit the front of his mom's car and sent it spinning, which caused his mom to be shaken inside and out. Unfortunately , while she was alive, she a lot of internal bleeding inside of her body, which was the cause of her death.

After the driver hit her car and she was in the ambulance, she requested for them to call for her son Jeffery. He got there, just in time for her to take a last look at him, and tell him to finish school, get a degree, and live a long life, after which she died.

That night was very hard for him, as he contemplated committing suicide, and following her, as he cried nonstop. After two long months of being depressed, and crying daily, he decided to do it with the knife in his hands, ready to cut his wrist, he took one last look at the mirror, in the bathroom, where he was planning to end it all.

As he look at his face and closed his eyes planning to do it, he saw his moms smiling face, as she told him her last words. He couldn't force himself to do it. The knife fell out of his hands as he cried, he decided that this would be the last time he cried.

He found novels, as his new was to console himself. He was introduced, to them by a friend, who he knew since freshman year of high school. He used novels as an outlet to vent all his pent up emotions, especially his sadness.

As for house bills and daily necessities, his mom left enough money, that was able to support him for 6 years, if he spent it well, which is why he never had to worry about a job, or money. Which is something that he is very grateful for.

His habit of getting in the lotus position and meditating, was gained soon after he started reading novels.His thinking was, if he could cultivate to the peak, he could reverse time and get his mom back.

Though he knew that, the possibility was infinitely close to zero, he still decided to have hope.

So, he cultivated diligently for a whole year.

As, a high school student, this was his senior year and he would be graduating next week, which is a mile stone that he is extremely proud of in his life. Thus, he decided that tomorrow, which is Sunday, he would go buy a tablet, as he always wanted to get one, but decided to get it when he achieve something.
