In the morning I work up early I was hungry after talking to a nurse I went home find the leftover chicken in the fridge put it in microwave to heat I went through my mom phone call her relatives to tell her that she is sick to see if they can offer any help my mother was disowned by her parents after getting pregnant with me she was born in New Jersey but after she moved to New York that's where I was born and raised along with Palma but after they had that she is dying her parents with her brother promised me that they will take the first flight in the morning I thanked them we hanged up I got ready my phone rang
"Hello" I answered with out checking who is calling
"How is mom doing this morning " Palma asked me in a low voice I checked the time she should be going to school
"Aren't you going to be late for school where are you" I don't want Palma to fail her classes because of all this going on
" Emily is dropping me off to school she rends me her clothes so how is mom"
"She is still weak they doing all the check ups necessary for the surgery we can visit her together at night " I offered her takin a mental note to thank Emily after
I went to the campus I had some morning classes after I met with Emily and Alice at the campus cafeteria
"So I kind of had a fight with James this morning and I might have said something about your mother " Emily told me holding her coffee to her mouth giving me guilt eyes I didn't want James knowing anything at the moment even though I miss him but i don't need him he did hurt me not trusting me at all
" Emily with your big mouth " Alice said taking her bugger
" in my defense he is an ass for the way he acted and no body messes with my friend and get away with it just like that "I know Emily got my back but I don't want her fighting with her only brother I just sigh didn't say anything kept on drinking my water as if my life depends on it
" he misses you too for your information he looked worse hadn't shaved for long and dad gave him a piece of his mind about how he would think again about handing over to him" she said I know his father is stepping down on Saturday this week
"These days are hard on me and my heart just choose to miss him" i said laughing a little at myself
They all look at me
" how about we visit your mom at the hospital " Alice said getting up we went to the hospital in Alice's car since Emily's boyfriend is taking her car home
When we got to the hospital my mom was awake " hey mom how are you doing " I asked her her taking a sit next to her
" today is a good day am kinda good " she smiles for me I hold her hand tight Emily and Alice sits there
"So mom I called your parents they will be here tomorrow morning " i observed her to get her reaction
" you called them "
"'Mom I need you to get all the support that you could possibly have and you know I already have a lot on my plate Palma have to go to school I can't deal with all that alone we need help and trust me you mom cried you father was disappointed not telling him sooner please let them help and I would like to meet my grandparents " I said slowly not rushing anything
"It's okay baby am sorry am not helping only coursing you problems "
" it's okay mom just get better okay " before she answers the doctor come to check up on her after Alice went to bring Palma that night we went home mom wanted to be alone preparing herself to meet her parents after 21 years I went home made dinner for me and Palma and we went to bed early that night
