I can't live without you

Chapter 4

MAEYAH GRAY'S POV

I look back to Auntie Jenna's house and saw my mom lying in the middle of the road.

"Mom!"

I ran to my mom, and my tears are starting to fall.

"Mom! Wake up!" I tried to wake her up but she's not waking up.

"No! Help! Help!" I shouted.

"Oh my! What happened?" Auntie Jenna said while running.

"Please call an ambulance!" I shouted while hugging my mom.

"No mom, you should wake up for me!" I said while crying.

We waited for 3 minutes, and then the ambulance came.

"Please help her, please help my mom!" I pleased the nurse while we're now inside the ambulance.

'No mom, you can't die!'

I can't stop crying now, together with Auntie Jenna.

"Just pray sweetie, your mom will not leave us, okay?" Auntie Jenna tried to comfort me.

We arrived in the hospital now, and I stil can't stop crying.

"Please, please help my mom, please don't let her leave us please!" I begged the doctor before they closed the door to start my mom's operation.

"Sweetie, we can't go inside so let's just keep praying okay? Stop crying now, I'm sure your mom don't want to see your eyes tired when she wake up," Auntie Jenna tried to comfort me again.

"Th-this is all my f-fault!" She shouted and started to cry again.

"H-huh? What do you m-mean?" I asked her.

"She followed you because I forgot that you should bring the chocolate cake as my thanks giving to Ms. Kelly, and then she volunteered to bring it to Ms. Kelly " She said while crying so hard.

"No Auntie, this is not your fault, okay? Who would know that something bad will happen to mom if she volunteered? Right?" I said while hugging her.

"Maeyah!" I heard Jenn's voice coming to us.

She hugged me tight.

"Maeyah! I'm sorry this is all my fault! If I just let myself follow you so that I'll be the one who will bring it to Ms. Kelly, then Auntie Jayah is not in the critical condition right now!" She said while hugging me and while crying so hard too.

"Shhh, it's not your fault okay? it's not anyone's fault but to the one who drove that car," I explained to her while trying to stop crying.

"Uhm, excuse me? Who's Mrs. Jayah Gray's relative here?"

I heard a voice that made me wake up.

'Oh my gosh, I didn't noticed that I slept.'

I saw a doctor in our front right now.

"Uhm it's all of us doc,but I'm her only daughter, can we talk to the other place? They might wake up if we continue to talk here, " I whispered to him because I can't say it louder because Auntie Jenna and Jenn is still sleeping.

Yes it's a him, because he's a man.

"Oh okay sure no problem," He responded to me while also whispering.

"Now, we're here, so what happened to my mom doc?" I asked him nervously.

"Uhm she's not in danger anymore, but she still didn't waked up," Doctor said.

"Okay so what is her condition right now doc? When will be the possible date that she wake up?" I asked him again.

"Well her condition right now is 75/100,and when will be the possible date that she will wake up? uhm it depends, hmm by the way my name is Acie Dexord," He explained and introduced himself to me.

"Ah okay Doc, I'm Maeyah Gray," I also introduced myself to him.

"Okay, so if you need help just call me, okay?" Doctor Acie said before he left me, and I just nodded and smiled as my answer.

I ran to my mom's room.

"Mom, I'm here, please wake up, " I said while crying again.

"Maeyah," I heard Auntie Jenna's voice,and saw Jen with her.

"Hello Auntie, I'm sorry I didn't wake you up because both of you are sleeping peacefully and I don't want to ruin it," I explained to the both of them.

"Yeah, it's okay sweetie but what did the doctor said?" She asked me.

"The doctor said that she's not in danger anymore but her condition is 75/100," I explained to them.

"Oh, I think it's not that bad anymore, thanks God," She said before she signed the cross.

"Yeah, thanks God," I said before I signed the cross too.

"I think you need to sleep now sweetie," She said before she tapped my back.

"No Auntie, I'm fine,I'll just go outside and ask for the bills," I said before I kissed her cheeks and left them.

"Uhm, hi miss, may I know how much is Mrs. Jayah Gray's bills?" I asked her.

"$1000 maam," She said that made me shocked.

'One-what?!, that's too much for my salary and for my money at the moment, I only have $600 right now, and my salary is just $500 a month, f*ck, what am I gonna do?'

" Uhm, is $1000 will be our daily bills from now on?" I nervously asked her.

"Oh don't worry maam, it won't cause that much in your day 2 here in hospital anymore, it's $1000 for your day 1 because they had an operation earlier," She explained to me.

"Oh okay, I understand uhm when is the deadline of the bills?" I asked her again.

"On or before you check out here in the hospital," She responded to me.

"Okay, thankyou miss,"

I went back to mom's room, I looked at the clock and saw that it's already 10 in the evening, Jenn's already sleeping while Auntie Jenna is still in not sleeping.

"Auntie," I called her.

"Yeah Sweetie? Uhm how much is her hospital bill?" She asked me.

"$1000, too much for my money right now, too much for my salary every month, Auntie, I don't know what to do right now," I said while crying.

"Shhhh, stop crying, we'll get through this, okay? I will also help you, so don't worry, okay? Now I think we should sleep now," Said by Auntie Jenna.

It's already 12 am in the morning but I still can't sleep.

'What am I gonna do now mom? I guess I need to find a new job because my salary as a author is not enough to sustain our needs, especially your hospital's bills.'

"Hello?" I heard a man's voice from the outside of the room.

'Oh I didn't noticed that I already fell asleep last night.'

I went to the door and opened it.

"Hello? How may I help you? And who are you? " I asked him, because he's not familiar to me, and I think he's not a doctor.

"Hi good morning, I'm Brandon Ford, and I'm here because I'm willing to help you to sustain your financial needs," He introduced himself and also explained to me.

'What? I don't even know him.'

"All of a sudden? I mean okay, wait, let's go there first," I said before we went outside of the room because I don't want to bother Auntie Jenna and Jenn.

"Why do you want to help me?" I asked him again.

"Okay, first of all, you are my all time favorite author, and I just knew that your mom's on the critical condition right now, and I'm sorry to hear that," He explained to me again.

"Oh thank you for being my all time reader too, and what kind of help is that?" I asked him again.

"A work, a new job," He said.

"W-what kind of job is that?"

"A secretary of a ceo," He answered me again.

"Oh my? Are you serious? A secretary of a ceo? I mean that's a big job," I said excitingly.

"Yeah, it pays 3x than your salary of being an author,"

"R-really? May I know why are you recommending that to me? And how did you know that my mom's not in the good condition right now?" I asked him again.

"Well, as what I've said, you are my all time favorite author, so yeah I'm your fan, and how did I know? Simple, because I have a friend that is a doctor here too, he told me about it because he know that I'm your fan," He explained to me over and over again.

" Oh really? Then thanks to that friend of yours, when can I apply? " I sincerely said.

" Anytime you want, as long as he has no secretary, just be fast in applying, okay? " He responded to me.

" Who is that 'he'?" I asked him over and over again.

"Well, he's my friend, my closest friend that has the biggest company," He answered my question again.

"Oh okay, how can I apply? I badly need a work right now,"

"Here, this is his company building's location, see you there!" He said while giving me a paper that has location written on it before he stood up and left me.

"Hi sweetie, good morning! Where have you been?" Auntie Jenna greeted me when I came back to the room.

"Auntie?" I called her while staring at my mom.

"I'm going to apply for a new job," I said while my eyes is getting teary.

"W-what? But how about your story? Your readers?" She shockingly asked me.

"I'll just explain my situation to them, and I will still update the story but not that often anymore," I said while wiping my eyes.

"I'm sorry sweetie if you're experiencing this problem, I know how important writing stories to you," She said before she hugged me tight.

"It's okay, I will be okay, all for mom,"

"When are you planning to apply? Don't worry I won't leave your mom alone here," She asked me.

"Tomorrow,"
