"What do you mean you're pregnant for your boss, didn't you like just start working there like two month ago? Oh my gosh Michie you're so crazy", my sister said laughing at me.
"No it happened before I started working for him, remember when I found Alex cheating on me with Tasha, I got drunk and we kinda f****d,but I thought it was all this one time thing. Then I saw him in the office and I was so shocked to my panties, and he acted like he didn't even know me".
"Was he supposed to hug you and be like, "Hi one night standie", she joked.
"No but he literally ignored me and treated me really harshly and stuff. And I took post pills but I don't know how I'm still pregnant ".
"You're probably pretty fertile".
I groaned.
"So what are you going to do? keep the baby?".
"I don't know Rosie, I don't know. I can't. I mean I'm still struggling to take care of you, I'm not ready to be a mom".
"Michie, I might die and leave you alone in this world you know, I think having a baby and naming the baby after me would be nice".
"No you're not going to die, stop saying that, be positive ".
She didn't say anything.
"What did he say?".
"He said my choice, he's fine with whatever I choose ".
"Wow, he's really a nice man. Some other men would just give you money and tell you to flush it down the drain".
"I just feel so terrible about it ".
"About what ?"
"Being pregnant for my boss, if I keep the baby, I can't work there, the rumors will be out soon and I'll loose the job, I won't be able to stay. And even if I don't, how am I supposed to look him in the eyes everyday? how? knowing that I was pregnant for his child, I won't be able to stay Rosie, I won't ".
"I'm so sorry, I wish I could give you a hug right now, but I'm 2000km away ", she said.
"It's okay, take care of yourself, I'm sorry for bothering you, I just needed someone to talk to ".
"Please talk to me, at least I'm of usefulness there".
"Oh wait the nurses just came to give me my medications, I'll call you when I wake up okay?", she said.
"Okay Rosie ".
"I love you ", she said and cut the call.
I sighed. I am so cooked.
Not up to 5 minutes later, I got a call from Rosie's doctor.
"Hi ma'am ".
"Hi".
"Rose needs to get a surgery before the end of next week, a kidney transplant, I can't give you an assurance of her living past next week ".
"But I just got off the phone with her and she seemed fine".
"She's not fine, you should come see her yourself, she's just pretending so you won't worry too much. You need to buy her a new kidney and then pay for the surgery, and her heart is failing slowly because her organs are packing out. And she has Anemia as you know so she's taking blood every moment of the day. I understand things are tough but ... if you want her to live you need to do something quick ".
I swallowed hard, "Ho... how much is everything supposed to be?", I asked..
"It'll be up to a million dollar, because immediately after the surgery, we need to put her on steady blood supply and life support because her heart is failing, it's 50/50 though, but it's better to take the risk than not taking it at all", she said.
I swallowed hard.
I was fighting tears.
Where the f**k am I going to get a million dollar from before the end of next week?
"I hear you... I'll... I'll get back to you ", I said and cut the call.
I can't let My sister die like that, I just can't.
She's all I have left.
My mother and father is dead, she's all I have left.
I just can't.
There's only one man I know that can get me that kind of money in immediately.
Although I've been avoiding it, I'll have to do it, for Rose.
Mr Greenwood.
