Emergency room?!

Note;

In this chapter there is a conversation between Alicia and her conscience that she calls as (Alice).

And bold is for Alicia and Italian is for Alice as conscience....

Enjoy the chapter 😀.

My phone screen was flashing with the name of Hospital. I was confused.

Is she okay?! Alice asked

Yeah, she must be! I reasoned

Are they gonna kick her out because I haven't paid her bills yet? Alice again asked panicked.

I will pay it  tomorrow first thing. I responded.

My trail of thoughts was interrupted when my phone rang once more.

"Hello? I said trying to make sure that my voice was not trembling, but I don't think it was helping me at all. 

"Is this Miss. Walters?" The person on other call asked.

"Yes it's me?" I tried responding in a weak voice. 

"I'm Dr. Watson, and I'm calling you to inform you about the present condition of Mrs. Walters. But before it. I must ask you to come visit hospital right now, because she has been just brought out from emergency room." The doctor said.

"Is she alright doc? Is she going to be alright? " I asked in panic. At this point I was not even trying to hide my panic. 

"Miss, she would be, just come to hospital. So I could update you about her present condition. " The doctor said in a calming voice. "Alright, I'm on my way right now."

I didn't wait for someone, not that someone was waiting for me. I ran towards my locker to drop my books and take out my purse. Once, I had my stuff I ran towards the exit as if my life depended on it.

"Oh see isn't it our new bad girl?" Marie said in voice of taunt. I stopped to see her with a bright purple mark on her chin that she had tried to cover up with makeup, she somehow looked funny in this stance and I would have laughed on her if I hadn't been in this situation.

"Some other Time Maccanie I'm not available for your shit right now. " I said her with a blank expression and started running towards my way. "Its Marrie for fuc* sake!" I heard her yelling after me, but I didn't care in the least.

After 10 minutes I was sitting in mom's hospital room she was sleeping peaceful due to her medication for now. But I knew how much she was suffering because her once bright brown eyes that I had inherited from her were now encircled with darkness, her body seemed lifeless. She was losing her hair now and I was not able to do anything for her. I didn't even realize I was crying over my helplessness till the nurse came in saying Dr. Watson wanted to talk to me.

I made my way towards the room which I assumed was of Dr. Watson.

"Good Afternoon, Miss. Walters" I nodded in recognition. "As I said on phone I wanted t talk to you about you mother's present condition." I again nodded to let him know that I was listening. "You know that your mother has been suffering from blood cancer for two years now. And we haven't seen any betterment signs till now, her body is not responding to chemotherapy anymore. I can't say anything more but she does not have much more time left." I was at the verge of crying

  "How much ?" I asked with a huge clump in my throat, just how miserable can I become?

"Three weeks at the most. I'm sorry ." I nodded with tear filled eyes and left the room.

I reached the room to see mom was still sleeping. The nurse informed me that "she would be slept  till the evening today. So I suggest you come at night. "

I already had to pay the bills so I made my way to the 'Driver's garage'.

At about 6 my shift was finished I took my money from the owner and told him if he ever  needed help. I am just a call away. So just give me a call. I bought some dinner as in some fries for me and a juice for mom. And then went to the hospital.

"Hey sweetheart, " mom said with a weak smile.

"Hey," I said. "How are you feeling now?" I tried asking her in a calm voice.

"I'm okay just as usual." she said as if it was nothing new to her. 

"That means you are in pain , right mom?" I tried keeping my pain to myself because she was already in pain. But I was not that strong I could not forget Dr. Watson's words. " Just three months" he had said. 

"Don't worry Alii, this pain would end soon so would your sufferings." she said hopefully. I was crying by now " No mom, this pain would end ,and you would be healthy again. I would find some job to rent some flat where we would live together." I pleaded my eyes were still watering up with every word she was saying.

" Sweety, I hope that would be true, but we know otherwise." she said grimly.

"I bought some juice for you to drink." I said giving her the glass, " mom I would be spending my time here now instead of dorm."

"Why is that?" She asked suspiciously "I miss you a lot there. So I thought it would be best if I spent my time here with you." I said "Alright sweetheart." Then we were induced in our conversation so much that I didn't even realize when I fell asleep I just heard that.

"Sweetheart, make sure you live a happy life when my ends because you have already suffered enough for me. Find someone who can love you just as much you deserve to be loved."
