Why Nickie Died

Okay

"Better three hours too soon than a minute too late."
-William Shakespeare

"Hey, mom?"
"Yes?"

Nickie sat down on the couch where her mom is watching TV.

"I just wanted to apologize for what had happened last night. I don't wanna make you worry about me anymore."
"Oh. Come here, honey."

Nickie hugged her mom tight.

"And another thing is..."
"What?"
"I called dad last night."

Nickie felt her mom freeze beside her.

"You did?"
"Yes. I apologized to him for what had happened. I was crying the whole time, actually.", Nickie said with a faint smile.
"And did he say sorry to you too?"
"Yes. And everything's fine now. So, there's nothing to worry about, okay?", Nickie said as she touched the creases on her mom's forehead.
"Okay." Mom laughed. "How's school? Is everything okay in school? How's your finals?"
"I'm going to start studying. I browsed my books and the lessons are not as hard as I expected it to be." Nickie laughed. It felt good for her.
"I'm so happy that everything's gonna be okay."
