"Promise me something, James."
"Anything."
"When I'm gone, don't forget about me."
"I won't, Mother."
This is the story of a boy who's mother left him when he was seven years old. But when he finds out his mother was murdered, he leaves the town. But what he doesn't know is that he's not alone.
"Mother, where are you going?"
"I have to go somewhere, James."
"But where?"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you that.
"Please promise me something, James!"
"Anything, Mother."
"Don't forget about me when I'm gone."
"I won't."
James watched the car leave the little neighborhood. He left the driveway and opened the door to find his sister, Jenna.
"Happy she's gone, James?" Jenna sneered.
"Shut up," James scowled. He shoved his older sister aside and walked up the stairs. Flinging open the door, he jumped on his bed and cried.
"You know I'm in charge!" Jenna shouted.
"You're only fifteen!" James yelled back. When Jenna didn't reply, he slammed the door shut.
(3 days later)
James heard voices as he opened his eyes. He looked around wildly before suddenly remembering:
"I forgot to ask when Mother's coming back!" James whispered while leaping out of his bed. He dashed out the door and slid down the banister.
"What's going on?" James asked.
"I'm sorry to tell you this, son, but your mother was found in a plane crash six hours ago." A man in a black suit told him.
"W-what...
"SHE CAN'T BE DEAD!" James suddenly shouted.
"I'm sorry."
"NO! SHE'S STILL ALIVE! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO FIND HER!" And with that James ran into the kitchen and sobbed.
