I rushed into the hospital with the money held close to my chest, hurrying into the room where my mom was.
Three doctors were present in there talking to her.Perhaps discussing the bad sides that would occur, if she wasn't treated at once. Oh, how much they loved divulging not so good news.Every one of them.Can't wait to see the shock on their faces when I present the whole lot of the money to them."I have the money, doctor." I said amidst panting, my loud voice did so much in getting each of their attention as they placed all focus on me."You have to start immediately." I added.No utterance came from any of the men, they all just remained staring at me, watching as I waved the stack of currency before their eyes."How much do you have there ?" One of them asked"I don't know""I don't care"My breathing was heavy, beads of sweat all over my face, while I moved over to the wall, trying to steady myself and taking in deep breaths.They all stared at me like I was crazy.I went over to my mom, and laid all of the money on the bed. Tears fell from my eyes as I stared at the huge amount of money in front of me.Couldn't even tell how much it was in total.I gave the doctor I had grown familiar with, part of it while I kept the remaining.He looked at me then nodded at the other doctors."We'll begin immediately." He called out.They all turned, walking out immediately.I turned to look at my mother."Nia, where did you get all that money from?" She asked as soon as the doctors walked out."Doesn't matter. All that matters is that you're gonna be fine." I called in a low voice, my frail fingers stroking her cheeks."Don't tell me you stole that money, Nia" she uttered in a stern voice, eyes boring at me.I remained silent, my gaze away from her."I had to do it mom, I can't watch you die. I've lost dad already. I don't wanna lose you too." I said quietly."I didn't raise you to steal!" I heard her snap. "No matter what happens, don't ever succumb to stealing. You know better than to-"Your life is at stake here!" I retorted."I don't want you worrying about anything. Definitely not about me. I'll be fine."The door tore open, followed by doctors and nurses.They took me aside, then gently lifted my mother up. I watched as they placed her on a stretcher then moved her to the operating theatre.With tears streaming down my face, I watched her go.***I paced up and down the waiting room of the hospital. Hours and hours had passed since my mom was taken into the operating room. What was going on? I asked myself.Having decided to take a seat, while feeling tired already, I took a glance at the clock on the wall.6:00 a.m."Morning already?" I said to no one in particular.So worried about my mom, I didn't even bother sleeping. I had stayed up all night praying and waiting for the surgeons to come out and tell me everything was okay.Two hours passed and still nothing.I felt a hand on my shoulder, and the moment I turned around, I saw a nurse peering at my figure."Are you okay?" She asked me, her voice filled with much concern."No. I'm not" I replied in a shaky voice."My mom has been in the operating room for hours. How long does it take to perform a heart transplant?" I asked frustratedly.Just then, the same doctor which I was very familiar with walked out, moving towards me."How is she? I need to see her. Please let me see her." I said all at once."Calm down. We can't let you see her right now" He replied."Well how is she?" I asked"It's hard to say for now" The man spoke immediately."Right now, I'll advise you to go home, get something to eat, have a bath and feel relaxed. I don't want you worrying about anything. But I promise you, we'll try everything possible to help your mom."He patted me on my back then walked away.Tears filled my eyes. I couldn't lose my mom. I just couldn't.I slowly walked out of the hospital, as lot of thoughts filled my mind.Meanwhile, at the Williams mansion..Cameron's room was in a complete disorder. He emptied the envelope on his bed for the seventh time, letting out groans of frustration, while throwing his things here and there.The last time he had checked, he knew he had a total of two thousand dollars but now, he could only find approximately half of it.Unable to contain his anger, he kicked at the vase on his dresser, causing the object shattering to the ground.A figure at that moment walked in.Logan.Eyes accessing the state of the room, brows raised in confusion."What the hell is going on?" He voiced his thoughts, while examining the contents sprawled on the floor.No reply came from Cameron.He only lett out huffs and low grunts, while his chest heaved uncontrollably.After enough silence, Logan gave a shrug while opening his lips to speak, and letting his business known."Anyways" He began, kicking at the mess on the floor with his feet."was wondering if you could lend Tyler and I five hundred bucks. We'll pay you back immediately."We just need to give it to that bum so he could go with us to the party."At the mention of this, Cameron spun around at once, staring on at the figure of Logan."So it was you who took the money." He called immediately, already advancing towards Logan with enough rage in his eyes."What money?" Followed the response from the boy away."Give the money back, now!" Cameron yelled, taking a stop feet away."Relax, okay. I didn't take any money." Logan replied"what's going on in here?" The voice of Mrs Williams interrupted both boys, as she made her presence known."Your son here, stole my money." Cameron uttered at once, eyes boring at Logan."Oh, would you please tell YOUR son to stop accusing me?" Logan followed."The both of you, stop it!." Mrs Williams snapped, her eyes shifting at their figures."How much are you looking for?" She asked."Over a thousand dollars. I had it in here. Now all of a sudden, it's gone." He fumed, moving around the room, still uncovering every part."Did you take it?" The lady turned to Logan."Of course not!""I was just asking him to lend me a couple bucks"Cameron let out a sigh at Logan's utterance, and after a brief pause, he moved over to his mom.Placing his hands on her shoulders, he took in a deep breath."Mom" Voice so low, so calm."Could you please convince dad to give the money to me?""Your father isn't giving any money whatsoever to you. He handed that money to you few weeks ago. You can't lie that the money is lost just to get another one from him." Mrs Williams spoke at once"I'm not lying!. Someone took the money" Cameron made known."Then, who?" She asked"I don't know!"He grunted aloud, moving to the other end of the room."Well, no one has been in here" He heard his mother say."It's been only you and that girl who comes home with you every single day" Mrs Williams uttered"She does have a name, mom. And she's my girlfriend."Cameron uttered, like his mother knew not who Savannah was.Logan scoffed at his words, seemingly uninterested.He moved over to the bed, about taking a sit, when he spotted a used condom on the floor.Peering intently at it, he turned around to the figure of Cameron."You're already having sex?" He faked a shocked expression, causing a glare from Cameron.Mrs Williams turned to Cameron at once, eyes widening a bit."Don't tell me you're already engaging yourself in-""I'm not a kid mom" He interjected, jaw tightening at once."I'm seventeen, soon to be eighteen." He added."Well good for you. Go look for the money." Mrs Williams uttered"Mom!""Go tell one of the maids to clean up this mess." She uttered, right before stepping out of the room.Meanwhile, Logan chuckled endlessly, amusement already filling his eyes, while he walked out of the room right after Mrs Williams.It took a brief moment for Cameron realizing that there was a maid in his room yesterday.That maid. He thought.Throwing the envelope on the bed, he dashed out of the room, anger coursing through his veins.I walked into the Williams mansion, a sad expression plastered on my face. Denna as usual was in the living room cleaning and dusting away all dirt while I walked in. "You're gonna get in trouble one day for turning up late" She smiled at me, waving her duster at my figure in the process. I struggled to flash a smile back, Proceeding quietly into the kitchen.Luckily for me, I found it to be empty.Now where could everyone be? Deciding it was time to commence the day's duties, I grabbed an apron, packed my hair in a bun, and went for the cleaning instruments which were at a corner screaming for my name. The sudden storming in of a figure caused my whole figure jolting, gaze shifting to the doorway where a form came pushing in. Somewhat familiar, It didn't take long for me recognising him—the same boy from yesterday, advancing towards me, his eyes never for once evaded my profile. His hair remained ruffled, jaw clutching tight, gaze held strongly on my form. Anger sure filled hi
The sky had turned an orange shade, with the midday sun slowly retreating into a cloud, signaling the end of work for me. Not that I was done with my chores or anything, but the day having come to an end got me feeling so excited. Truly, the day had been tiring--Dusting, vacuuming, washing and the list went on and on. Mary and Tara were in the kitchen preparing a meal for the family.The usual, While the Williams' all came out of their respective rooms, making their way to the dining room, prepared to have dinner as a family. I must say, it was quite admirable for every one of them obeying and turning up to the dining hall to have dinner with the rest of the family. I heard Ms Tara yelling out for Denna and I, while she in turn had the dishes laid on a tray. The first figure I came across the moment I stepped into the dining area, was Mrs Williams, sat by her husband while Tyler and Logan joined them afterwards, then followed Dylan, Derrick and David. "Where's Ashley and Camer
Third person POV... The man and lady of the house were dressed up ready to leave for their meeting. Both in the living room, patiently awaiting the arrival of their kids, just so they could mete out whatever instructions they had for them. Ashley soon came hurrying down the stairs, giving a squeal while twirling in front of their figures. "How do I look?" She questioned. Her eyes broadened immediately, ears perked, awaiting the response she yearned to hear roll out her father's lips. Worn on her body was a mid-length tight fitting dress, paired up with thigh high boots."Beautiful.....Very beautiful" Mr Williams cleared his throat, eyes accessing the outfit on his 'innocent' girl."But sweetheart, it's just a party. It's not prom" He stated. His utterance earned him an eye-roll from the girl, who in fact had took her time going through the depths of her closet just to pick out something to her taste. No rebuttal from any one would cause her turning around to get changed into som
Dawn came quick. It didn't take hours into the morning for me to hear a car pull up in the driveway, announcing the arrival of Mr and Mrs Williams.They sure had returned earlier than I expected. Without wasting much time, I hurried into one of the bathrooms, running myself a bath. I proceeded downstairs afterwards, and found Mrs Williams sat on the couch going through random stuff."Good morning ma'am" I greeted warmly. Her gaze was still away from me, while she searched through the stack of things in front of her. "Is it okay for me to go see my mom?" I questioned. "Of course." She responded, voice sounding distressed.She turned around to me, a blank expression on her face. The lady looked a bit disturbed which only got me wondering whatever was wrong. Could the affairs of business be taking its toll on her. It was just as expected from people so influential as the 'Williams' "Thank you for staying with the kids." she added in a soft voice. She soon left the living room, g
Walking into the mansion with happiness I hadn't felt in a long while, taking hold of my whole body. Mom was better now. The transplant had been carried out successfully, and at this moment, life's just as good. Stepping into the living room, I found it empty upon my entrance.Perhaps, the kids had all gone to school. I hurried into the kitchen, meeting the maids over there, some cooking, others standing by a corner waiting to be ordered. "Get to work immediately, Nia" Miss Tara yelled at my figure."clean and tidy all the rooms""Every one of them" She spoke.Yeah, yeah, yeah. Time to begin another round of turmoil, a voice uttered in my head. Oh, what wonders await you now? I thought.Following her orders, I wore my apron at once, picking up a broom and duster, and then proceeding out of the kitchen, moving to the rooms to begin cleaning. I was almost done with cleaning all the rooms, and a lot of time had passed. The sound of chatters, echoed all around the house, and the fi
Two days had passed since The heart transplant was done. "Where's Tara?" I heard Mrs Williams utter to me, while proceeding down the stairs. "In the kitchen." She took a pause after my response, eyes looking around the living room.The floors sparkled with a glint, mirroring the reflection of light from any angle. Yes. Just, yes. It took me two hours getting those floors scrubbed. Every gratitude must be properly meted to my fingers, which by now have already turned sore, yearning to have a rest. "I'll be leaving the house now" Mrs Williams announced to me. "Will be back soon" She added in a low voice. The day had turned dark already, silence ringing in the environment all around, and still, I wasn't done with my chores. My gaze turned to the figure of Denna walking into the living room, appearing all ready to leave."It's getting late. You should consider taking a rest" she stated, her eyes outlooking the night sky from the windows in the living room. "No, I'm totally fine
The figures of Tyler and Logan appeared in the living room, backpacks hung on their shoulders, both engaged in a conversation.Ashley who was proceeding down the stairs, paid no attention to anyone, just typing away on the phone in her hands. She stepped out of the house not quite long after, while Tyler and Logan still remained back in the living room, chattering to each other. Cameron joined them in a short while, Savannah walking by his side. I pretended to be busy with the furnitures, dusting, just as they walked into the living room. "Now I know where those noises I heard last night were coming from" Tyler flashed a grin at his brother, eyes accessing the figure of Savannah. "She slept here? Wait till mom and dad find out." He added with a smirk on his face. All of his words seemed not to have any effect whatsoever on Cameron, as that prude ignored him, turning to Savannah. "Did you guys use protection?" Logan joked, laughing and bumping fists with Tyler. "You both know y
THIRD PERSON POV... The approach of Savannah from the other end of the hallway caused Ashley giving an eye-roll, already catching on to the arrival of trouble. "If it isn't miss I-wanna-belong." Ashley uttered with a fake smile plastered on her lips, eyes examining the figure of the girl stood feet away. "You really think I wanna be seen with your clique?" Followed the response of Savannah, her voice filled with disdain. "You're getting it all wrong Ashley" Savannah began, clicking her tongue. "You know, I could make everything you think you've worked for shatter in just a second...... So if I were you, I would watch my mouth, before I slap the british life out of you" She added. "Too bad you're not me" Ashley responded, taking a step closer to her. "You seem to run your mouth so fast, but you're forgetting something""You're in my house! And I could throw you out faster than you could say bitch!""I'm here for Cameron" Savannah cut in. "So please go get..."It's just a matter
