CHAPTER 2

I slowly opened my eyes as I heard someone opened my wooden door.

"How's your sleep love?" It's mom.

"I'm cold." I muttered in a quivering voice. I am girdled by some big and fluffy pillows, blanket all over my body higher than my neck and a bolsters on both side. I'm really shivering and I don't know why.

Mom walked across my bed and sat beside me. She then places her palm above my head. "You want hot chocolate?"

"No…." I mumbled and squeezed myself between the pillows.

"I know what you like." Mom smiled and before I could react, she wrapped her arms around me and squeezed me tightly like there's no tommorow. "You want a hug!"

"Moooooommmmmm…."

"You're still my baby right? Our baby."

"Hmmm…" I wasn't looking at mom but instead, I snuggled my face onto her chest. "Mom," I addressed with a sweet tone. "can you please don't show my friends nor classmates this sweet thing especially while I'm at school?"

"Are you embarrased?"

"Kinda." I answered as I pulled my face out of her chest.

"Why?" Mom asked, still cuddling.

"It's just…"

"You're worried that they gonna make fun of you because we still treats you like a baby? Is that it?"

"No it's not like that, I got a mean classmate and she might use it against me."

"Oh, I see. Ok." Mom sighed defeatedly.

"Mom you're so soft." I snuggled closer to her and tightened my hug.

Our position lasts for a few minutes.

"C'mon, let's get you a drink." Mom gently tapped my forearm before getting up.

I climbed out of the bed and darted towards mom who's heading the door.

"Can we hug while we're walking?"

"Of course." Mom smiled sweetly before throwing her arms around me. I hugged her back.

We didn't remove our embrace until we finally reached the dining room.

"Oh it's raining hard today! I see." I exclaimed when I see the heavy rain drops outside the window.

I walked to the long table and flopped down on the chair.

"Slow down darling."

"Sorry mom."

"It's okay."

"Where's dad?"

"He's on a business trip." Mom said as her attention was strictly on making my hot dark chocolate with matching tiny mallows.

"I thought he's staying for a while."

"It's urgent." Mom replied and lifted her chin up to looked at me. "Your school?"

Oh yeah I remember, the silly thing happened yesterday during Science.

Well the thing is, I was saved and Zendee was the only one sent into principal's office. Sir De Leon knew that it was him who'd started the aggravation.

~DNA~

"Mom come ooooonnn!" My voice echoed through our house. I'm sitting down on the couch with a silver colour cushion on my lap while waiting for mom to finish. "I'm gonna be laaate."

"Ok darliiiiing." Mom replied from the second floor. "I'll be there."

We're now finally at the car, still raining. I placed my pink handbag beside me before leaning against the seat.

Mom buckled up before starting up the engine. We're in a midway when my head abruptly sprung up, remembering something. "Mom wait!"

Mom was shocked that made the car stop. "What?"

"I forgot my project." I uttered frantically.

"I thought it's on the trunk."

My mouth gaped in realization. "Ohhh… Yeaaaahhh… I forgot… Sorry."

Mom's eyebrows wiggled and turned her back to look at me. "Are you alright?"

"Of course mom. It probably from lack of rest and I forgot that you were the one who places it at the back."

"You silly thing."

I just chuckled and sits comfortably.

The rain stops and I'm currently looking at the billboards on every roads we passes. I usually see these but I still love to look at those gigantic buildings, billboards and those sky towers.

BEEEEEEEP!

My gaze quickly shifted to the front.

"MOM LOOK OUT!" I yelled furiously when one of the car is coming right towards us with full speed!

Mom aggresively turned the steering wheel to the right. "MOM! MOM! MOM!" I freaked out as our car swayed vigorously due to soak streets. I could hear the tires screeching against the road. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"HANG ON! HANG ON!" Mom yelled in panic knowing how blare I was.

We accidentally slid to another road and another vehicle is coming right towards us!

BEEEP! BEEEP!

Mom couldn't start the engine. I gripped onto anything. I pushed my back against the seat. We're gonna hit by the huge truck! "NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NOOOOOO!!!!!"

BEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP!

I produces a very loud sound and shut my eyes in great fear.

Beeeeep! Beep!

BOOOOOOGGGSSSSHHH!

I was expecting to get smashed by a huge truck but to my surprised it wasn't. I looked around and releases a heavy breath as I realized that it bumped onto the light post.

"You need to get out of here!" Mom blurted out, trembling. My eyes grew wide at the sight.

The front car got smashed! Instead of colliding from the truck, we bumped onto the wall!

"BRENDA SWEETIE YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!"

"NO! I'm not leaving without you!" I shrieked at the sight. Mom's leg were stuck! "I will never leave you! I'll help you to get out of here."

"I'm stuck! You need to get out of here baby!"

"No moooommmm..." Tears streamed down my face, my lips were quivering. My hands were shaking. "Mom please..." I cried out like a 5 year old baby.

BEEEEEEEEEEPPP!

"MOM..." My eyes were glued outside the window. Another truck loses its control, swaying into our direction. I shrieked at the top of my lungs. "MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!"

Another screamed let out as I desperately tried to pull her out of the crashed seat.

SCREEEEEEEECCCHHHH!

"Get out of here NOW!"

"NO!"

BEEEEEEEEEEPPP!

A defeaning scream resonated the car as I saw the truck going to smashed us. I instinctively raised both of my hands and held it in front of my face.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
