Blu

The day of my senior prom. Our senior prom since Matthew is now graduating. I'd been daydreaming about it all of the school day.

"Babe....babe, hello. Blu, baby..." Matthew called after me. I whipped around falling into his chest.

"Sorry, yeah?" I asked.

"Let's go, baby. Didn't you want to leave early?" He asked and I smiled. "Yeah, come on."

I need as much time to prepare for tonight. My mom told me to come by the hospital, so I'll drop by after I'm ready. Matthew linked his fingers through mine. I smiled up at him.

"You know I don't want to do this tonight, but I'll be on my best behavior just for you." He said and I squeezed his hand.

"Good. I have a trick or two up my sleeve, so I hope you're being honest about that good behavior." She said as I chuckled.

"Get out my truck and get your fine ass dressed. I'll be back by 6:30 to go to the hospital with you." He said.

"How'd you know?" I asked and he shook his head. "I got spies, baby." He said making me laugh. I quickly kissed his cheek and he drove off, leaving me to prepare for one of the best nights of my life.

Walking down the steps watching Matthews face made me giddy. It changed every second, but every look was of pure adoration.

"Woah! My babygirl is just....ugh...I'm blessed." He said making me laugh hysterically.

"You always clean up nice, babe." I said back and he kissed me. "God, let me check you out again." He said stepping back as I modeled for him, laughing.

"Ahh, there it is that beautiful sound. Alright, we have to go or we won't make it. Trust me." He said licking his lips at me.

The drive to the hospital was interesting. Matthew of course was steady trying to get us into trouble, but I really wanted to see my mom.

When we arrived I walked speedily to see her lying in her bed with a huge smile. Her room was filled with cameras.

"My pretty girl!" She said as lively as she could in her condition. I hugged her and of course Matthew made her smile. "Looking handsome. Take good care of my girl." She said. "Always." He said winking at me.

"Go ahead start taking your prom pictures." She said to me and I laughed. "This is for me?" I said more like a question. "Yes baby, go ahead." She said shooing us in the ginormous lights.

I hopped on my mom's bed after and talked for hours until I realized we were going to be late and had missed time to go to a nice restaurant.

"Matthew, let's go!" I yelled. "Wait, one more thing." He pulled out a corsage. "You didn't even realize you didn't have it." He said as I laughed.

"Hush, go get the car. I'm coming." He hugged my mom and headed out swiftly.

"Sky baby, have the best time of your life and never let that boy go. Love each other and work past your differences. Love, live, and laugh together, okay. I love you always. You're my baby. I love you." She said tears welling in her eyes. I hugged her tight.

"I love you, Momma. Don't leave me overnight. I can't wait to come see you after I get my diploma tomorrow. I'm making Pepper record the whole thing." I said wiping her tears. "Okay baby. Go, have fun."
*********
"Come on." I yelled at Matthew to come to the dance floor. He groaned, but came closer. I grabbed his hand pulling him.

I grinded against him; he instantly reacted by grabbing my waist and moving in the motions making me laugh. "You don't dance, but you just did." He just smirked, but continued on and realized just how big of a liar he is.

"Damn, my baby can dance better than me." I said as they started to soften the music to announce King & Queen. He just pulled me close to him.

"We won't hold you dancing fools long. Our Queen of the year is......Sky-Blu Waters." They announced and everyone squealed. Matthew kissed my forehead. I walked up and let them place the crown on my head.

"Our King of the night is.....uhm....Matthew Summers." They announced and even though he hated everyone in our class, they applauded for him.

"Now their first dance." He grabbed my hand and wrapped his arm snug around my waist as we moved back and forth. "You sneaky little..." He said as I laughed into his chest.

"You're welcome, King. You deserved it whether you believe so or not and I didn't pick you. They did. I just wrote your name on the ballet of candidates. Even they love you." I said and the night ended with me in his arms and the sense of safeness.
**********
"Matthew, I'm not playing you're getting up, now!" I yelled at him. He's trying to make us miss graduation on purpose. I don't know why he's scared of this day.

"No baby, please come back and lay down." He said and I shook my head.

"Babe, please put these on." I pleaded throwing his outfit at him. He groaned and shook his messy head and sat up.

"Good boy." I said as he walked to the shower. I curled my hair and did my make up and waited on him. "You look smokin'." He commented making me smile. "You look just as good." I said back fixing his tie. His gaze never leaving my face.

"I love you." He said to me making me blush. "Thank you baby, aren't I lovely." I said as he tickled me. "I'm kidding." I shot back pulling him toward mine.

"I love you more." I said to him and he smiled smashing his lips on mine.

Rickey yelled into my room. "Hurry Blu, y'all are most definitely going to be late to graduation." He said to me. "Okay, we're moving as fast as possible, but some of us act like its kindergarten graduation day and don't cooperate." I said staring at Matthew who was grinning.

I grabbed his hand leading him downstairs. Breakfast had already been prepared. I grabbed a banana and he sat down to feast.

"You don't have time." I yelled. "Of course I do." He said smirking. "Get up now!" I said like he really was in kindergarten. He grabbed a piece of bacon and wrapped his other arm around my waist leading me to the car.

"I'm sorry for being difficult." He said to me out of the blue after 5 minutes into the drive. "It's fine, baby." I said looking out the window. He grabbed my hand making me look toward him. "I'm just nervous. What's next for me? Cars? Yeah, but you're going on tour in a few days and then college. I'm still going to be here. Just me again. Alone." He said staring dead at the road. I squeezed his hand tight.

"This isn't much, but trust me. Everything's going to be alright. I'm not leaving you....well I'm never leaving your heart and I'll come back." I said.

"That's just it. I don't want to wait." He said and we were there and it hit me. I might lose the one thing that brings me the most happiness.

We walked in slowly placing our gowns and caps on. He watched me the whole time as I slid the gown across my shoulders. He pulled me fiercely into a closet near by.

He kissed me slowly. "I know what I said in the car, but I don't want to ruin your day. Be happy, baby." He said with our foreheads pressed together.
"Only you make me happy and you pretty much told me I was losing you." I replied.

"Fuck what I said. Just be happy. I'm right here for you." He said and I cracked a tiny smile reaching up to kiss him.

We walked back out and found our seats as they started....well my graduation ceremony.

25 minutes later:

Having the diploma placed in my hand felt like pure magic. I could've cried right there, but I glanced at Matthew who had on the widest grin.

After graduation, we walked out to the commons of the arena. "Baby, we made it!" I said hugging him. He kissed my hair hugging me tight. Pepper came up behind us reaching around my waist. I jumped and screamed out of excitement when I saw her. I hugged her tight too.

Rickey was behind her. I hugged him tight sighing. "Congratulations sister and Matthew!" He exclaimed dapping him up.

"Picture time!" Pepper announced pushing Matthew and I together. Then adding in Rickey. Then adding in her herself. Then making me take one with her boyfriend, Mitch. And more of just me and my baby. I really wish my mom was here to get a picture with us.

My phone rang like crazy for 5 minutes straight through the pictures. I pulled Matthew off to the side to answer it as Pepper changed the film.

"Hi, Sky-Blu Waters. We need to inform you. You're mother has signed papers to cut off..." I dropped the phone from my grasp.

Matthew

I caught her body in my arms as her iPhone smashed to the floor. I pulled her up and whipped her into my arms. Her head buried in my neck crying hysterically.

Pepper and Rickey rushed over to us. Blu wouldn't talk to them. She just screamed causing stares, but the attention didn't phase me with loud, drug addict people who used to be my parents I can handle stares.

"No! Go away! Take me to the hospital now! Now! Now! Now!" She yelled as loud as possible as I held her. I told them to meet us there, because even I didn't know what had happened.

I sped the whole way watching Blu cry her soul out. This must be...bad. Matthew you fucking idiot. Her mom...No. Yes.

I quickly unbuckled her and carried her in, running with her in my arms to her moms old room. It was empty and being cleaned.

"Is it true." She asked her voice cracking making me get teary eyed. "Yes, baby." I said as she sobbed hysterically making my heart break.

"I told her to wait. Wait on me. She didn't. She didn't. She didn't. She just left me. She left me. She's fucking gone." She screamed into my chest all I could do was hold her tighter. I sat down in a chair still holding her in her moms room. I rocked the chair slowly and thought of a way to reach her. I hummed.

She continued to cry, but it softened. I saw a note on the bed. I picked it up as Blu just lay in my arms. I read it to her telling her it was from her mom.

Dear Sky-Blu,

I hope your graduation day went as you'd always hoped it'd be apart from this. I bet you looked the best and wore those nice heels you'd raved over for years dreaming of this day. I know you said wait and I did. I just lost my tight hold. I'm sorry baby. I can only imagine your pain, but listen to me. Don't let my passing define the rest of your life. Go on tour, baby. Live your life. Promise me you'll be happy. Tell Rickey I love him too and that its okay to cry even being tough and his dad was wrong, men do cry. Tell Pepper I'm sorry for our troubles I was just afraid of the truth and tell her I love her for being your mother when I couldn't. Tell Matthew I said to watch over you and love you, it's obvious he does. You two are perfect, I know it. And back to you. You're my princess and I love you. Forever and always. Never forget me.

Love, Mom

I read aloud and looked up to see Rickey and Pepper in the room. Crying and grieving the loss of a great women they loved. Blu's face pale from crying looked still and frozen.
