Jacob’s POV
Two months, it’s been two months since Shawn left. Two months since I’ve been Shawn’s boyfriend, and I’ve never been happier to be honest.
My mom has actually found a job that she enjoys and it pays enough so that she only needs one job instead of multiple. I actually have time to see her now and it makes me so happy.
Currently, Michele and I are just laying on the floor on our phones, she’s doing whatever she does and I’m scrolling through my camera roll deciding what photo I should post on Instagram.
Speaking of Instagram, I’ve ended becoming somewhat popular because of how I’m supposedly Shawn’s “close friend” which brought in more people to follow me.
“Senior year starts in two months, and I have no idea what I want to go after.” I said as I got an email from some random college that I probably won’t be applying to.
“What if you go Canada, and go to college near Shawn?” Michele asked looking up at me and I rolled my eyes.
“I don’t know, I don’t want to leave my mom here with all the college debt.” I answered simply.
“Speaking of Shawn, how are you guys? Have you said the L word yet?” Michele asked and I looked up at her about to answer with a long and complicated way of me saying no and how I don’t know what ‘loving’ someone other than my mom or you but I got a FaceTime call from Shawn himself.
“Speak of the devil.” I said a smile forming on my face. I answered the call and Shawn’s face showed up on the screen.
“Have you checked the mail?” Shawn said immediately.
“Well hello to you too, and no I have not. Why?” I asked shaking my head.
“Go check it now?” He suggested and I stood up sighing.
“Making me go outside for the stupid mail.” I said under my breath but Shawn and Michele heard and laughed.
“Okay, I feel like I’m third wheeling and he’s not even here so I’m gonna go.” Michele said she ruffled my hair and I groaned, “bye Shawn, bye Jacob!” Michele said.
“Bye!” Shawn and I said in unison as she left through the door.
“Why do you want me to check the mail so badly?” I said as I went to go look for the mail key.
“Because i need to know if my care package arrived for you.” Shawn said innocently and I shook my head laughing.
“Why did you send a care package?” I asked as I left the house and putting my phone on my pocket with my mail key in hand and I saw my mom get out of her car, dizzily.
“Mom? What are you doing off work?” I asked confused walked up to her, she usually doesn’t get off until 7, and it’s currently 2.
“I just had a migraine that’s all, it’s no big deal.” She said as she stumbled a bit, dropping her bag and keys before falling, and I ran over to catch her.
“Mom!” I yelled frantically as I caught her, and I had no idea what to do.
“Jacob? Jacob what’s wrong? What happened?” I could hear Shawn asking, but all I could focus was on my mother.
“Help! Somebody please!” I yelled frantically and looked around and saw no one, “no no no no, please don’t do this. You are not doing this.” I whispered under my breath.
I carried her to her car, and put her in the backseat, and quickly put on her seatbelt and ran to the driver’s seat.
“Mom, I don’t know if you can hear me but please, stay with me. I love you so much, I don’t know what I’d do without you.” I said and looked at her, before making my way to the hospital.

“Jacob, what happened?” I heard Michele say as she walked through the ER doors, I looked up and got on my feet and accepted the hug that she gave me as soon as I was in front of her.
“I-I don’t know, she just came home early and then this happened.” I explained pulling away, wiping my tears.
My phone rang, and looked at it to see who was calling, I saw Shawn’s contact and I put it on silent, and put it back in my pocket, not wanting to deal with anyone or anything right now, but I didn’t want to leave Shawn in the dust, so I quickly wrote up a message.
J: Shawn, something came up, I’ll call you later.
S: Jacob, what happened? Are you okay?
J: I’m fine, don’t worry about me.
I turned my phone off after sending that message. A few moments later, Michele’s phone starts ringing.
“It’s Shawn.” Michele says looking over at me, holding out the phone. I reach out for it and I shake my head.
“Hello?” I said answering the phone.
“Jacob? Why aren’t you answering my calls, or my text messages?” Shawn exclaimed, sounding upset.
“Something came up Shawn, I’m sorry. I said I’d call you later.” I answered trying to keep my cool, and not break down. Shawn has his own pop star things to worry about, I don’t need to to add to his worries.
“I know something came up. You told me. I’m worried about you okay? Looks, I care for you, a lot more than I should, and when you panicked earlier and then hung up, I freaked out. Please Jacob, don’t leave me out in the dark.” Shawn explained and I started tearing up.
“It’s my mom.” I said, trying to wipe away m tears.
“What? Is she okay?” Shawn asked, and I shook my head.
“I don’t know, I walked outside and she was home early and then she just passed out and they’re working on her right now.” I spoke with a shaky voice, Michele put an arm over me to try and comfort me, but I can’t think.
“I’m gonna try and get the next available flight over there,” Shawn started but I quickly cut him off.
“No, you have one more show before your break which you should spend with your family.” I said, I would like to have Shawn here with me, someone I can hold on too, but he used his last break on me.
“Jacob, you’re my boyfriend I have to be there for you.” He explained, but I shook my head again.
“And they are your family, which is worth more than me.” I replied but he just sighed.
“I told you I would be there, I told you I would be there for you when you need someone, I feel so powerless here, my family would,”
“Shawn please, I have Michele with me and I know you’re here, please go visit your family, my mom will be okay, I know she will.” I pleaded.
“Okay, I trust you. She will be fine, and I’m always right. I promise you that she’ll be okay, and I have never broken a promise.” He explained, which helped calm me down some more.
“I’m looking for someone with Mrs. Brentwood?” I heard a voice call, and Michele and I stood up.
“Shawn, I have to go. And I’ll be fine, she will too.” I said, the feeling of nervousness coming back because I will find out right now if my mother is okay.
“Okay Jacob, it’ll be okay, I promise.” He explained.
Let’s hope that promise is right.
“Bye.” I said and hung up. I took a shaky breath before walking over to the doctor and Michele cane with me.
“I’m Jacob Brentwood, this is Michele, we’re here for my mom.” I spoke and she nodded.
“Hi, I’m Dr. Grey,” she introduced herself and reached out shake our hand, “and I this news isn’t going to be easy for you to hear.” She started and my heart started to beat fast.
This is it.
This is where my world starts falling apart.
“Your mom has brain cancer.”

A/N:
It’s been too long, and ready for my explanation?
Blah blah blah school blah blah blah.
On the bright side, I almost got a 4.0 this semester! Minus my Pre-Calc teacher not giving me an A even after I spent $30 on a gift trying to bribe him. It’s fine.
But school is out for Winter Break, so I have more time to write and hopefully I should be able to update once or twice during the break!
Sorry I couldn’t update earlier, Christmas was full of family and friends and me getting me sleep back.
On a side note, my love for BTS has grown a lot and I don’t have a bias anymore because I have one and then another one does something cute and I confuse myself.
As always, your votes and comments are always appreciated
And I’ll see you next time
