Ever since her mother passed away, it felt like her whole world was falling apart. Everywhere she went, there was a memory of her mother and her. Walking pass by the park she used to exercise in, a memory of her mother carrying her when she was a toddler. Walking pass by the coffee shop she used to eat in, a memory of her mother feeding her. Walking pass by her mother's room, a memory of her mother loving her. She sat down alone at home, always thinking about her mother, about how much she missed her and also, about how much she loved her. She cried. She cried every single night where the tears could fill an ocean or form a river moving drastically fast. She prayed to God, with such anger and sadness.. "I WANT MY MOM BACK!!!!" but she knew she could never get her back. She was no longer the same in school. She felt so alone. She longed for someone. She longed for someone who could could fill that gap for her. She didn't want to feel alone anymore.
She was popular in school. She was known for her grades, for her looks and for her athletic abilities. She could run a 100m in 9seconds, she could get straight A's for her results and many guys were chasing after her. Did she feel she accomplished alot? Yes, she did but did she really care about it? She walked home alone again, without anyone beside her and praying to God once again, pleading to give her back her mother. As she reached home, she went to feed her two pure breed rabbits, Lucy and Sabby. She hugged them and kissed their head. They were the two pets that were given to her by her mother not long before she passed. Samantha treasured them. She took very good care of them and made sure they felt loved like how she felt the love given to her by her mother. She brought them to her room and she dropped her bag on the floor, took off her clothes and went in to the bathroom. Turning on the shower tap and she allowed herself to drown her misery and sorrow in the hot water falling on top of her head. She thought about her school, her friends and her mother. As she turned off the tap, she wiped her hair with her brown towel and put on her favourite pyjamas. She lied her head on top of her white pillow and covered herself with her blanket. It was warm. This warmth brought back memories of her mother embracing her daughter so tightly in her arms as it felt like she was never going to let go off her mother. Then she remembered something her mother said to her when she was young. "Samantha, you know I love you? I love you so much and you're my whole world. I am so fortunate to have a daughter like you. I will never ever leave you, my dearest daughter. Samantha Lee, I'll always be here for you okay?". Samantha, whom at that time was very small and did not understand what her mother was saying and all she could do was smile, nod her head and reply "I love you, mommy!". Samantha's mother smiled and hugged her once again with tears streaming down her face. "Thank you God for making this life, a memorable one. You have blessed me with this wonderful gift and now I'm ready to come back to You."
She remembered those words "...I will never ever leave you..." and she broke into tears. She screamed and her two siblings came rushing into the room, only to see what was going on. They went to restrain her and they heard the words that were coming out of her mouth. "YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME! YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER GO! MOM, COME BACK! PLEASE COME BACK!" and it made their siblings cry at the same time. At that time, for the very first time, she realized that she wasn't the only one who was suffering, Her brother, her sister and her father were all suffering too. She realized they all missed their mother and she cried along with them. After what felt like hours, she fell into a deep sleep. "Samantha...? Samantha...? Samantha..?". Someone was calling for her name. She woke up on green grass that was so clean and in front of her was an ocean so blue that it shocked her. For awhile, she was wondering where was she. She remembers falling asleep but now she is somewhere not known to her. As she was looking around, something caught her eye. A woman dressed in white and looking at her. Samantha could not believe her eyes. She covered her mouth with her right hand and tears started streaming down her face. Her left hand grasped the grass and she dashed towards her. She jumped to her with open arms and hugged her so tight. "MOM! MOM! MOM!!!!!!!!" as she screamed it out loud. Her mother hugged her gently and looked at her in the eyes. She smiled, " You've grown up. You're so pretty now. Have you found anyone you have fallen madly in love with?" as she laughed. Samantha who could not respond and just rubbed her face against her mother's chest. "Mom... I've missed you... I've missed you so much..." She realized that all these was just a dream but it felt so real to her. The feeling of being hugged by her mother again, the familiar warmth from her mother's body and the gentle voice that came from her mother. "I've missed you too Samantha but Samantha, you must not be this weak. I told you before didn't I? I will always be with you. Maybe not physically but..." as she raised her index finger and pointed it to her heart "...I will always be in here. In your heart. I love you Samantha!" as she kissed Samantha's forehead and she waved goodbye to her daughter as she started to drift further away from Samantha. "DON'T GO! MOM!!!!!! MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" as she screamed. She woke up, tearing but this time, it wasn't out of sadness. "Mom... I'll do my best... I love you mom..." and she grabbed her chest as she could still feel her mother's warmth.

A few days after Rick confessed to her, she decided to give this relationship a try. For some reason, she saw something different in Rick than the other guys. She saw something special in him that she did not see in other guys. She realized that he was special to her in many ways but she did not know what. One night, Rick decided to ask her to be his girlfriend. Shocked by his proposal, she couldn't answer straight away. "ANSWER ME NOW!" as Rick was so nervous and wanted to know as soon as possible but Samatha didn't wanna answer right away. Rick who was very persistent got out of the car, got on his knees under a lamp post and said with a little more romance and politeness, "Samantha, I've liked you for a long time. Screw this! I love you! Please.. Please let me be that idiot who will be beside you from now till forever! Please!" as Rick clenched his left hand which was behind his back. Samantha's reply, wasn't something he expected but something which made him even more curious, "Mom... I've found him. The person I'll madly fall in love with..." as tears streamed down her face... "Yes...."
