Her Pearls

She was walking to the school office because she had just found out the her grandmother passed. She was in a shock. Total shock. She slid her pearls in her mouth and thought about the last things she said to her. “I love you, I never want you to leave me. I love you too much! I cant make it own my own, not yet. Promise me, you will never leave me.” repeated in her mind, over and over. She was in total shock, that she was really gone, it was too surreal.

Up ahead she saw her mother emotional come out the office.

“Baby, I’m sorry.”

For the first time, she saw her mother cry. Her mom couldn’t even stay strong.

“Momma” crept out of her mouth.

Her mother started to cry harder, but still no sound came out her mouth.

She started running towards her mother when she tripped on a black cord, and her pearls shattered across the floor.

Her mother ran to her as she saw that the jewel that was attach to the pearls had a special message from her grandmother.

The child and her mother started to cry harder.
