It all comes down to love

Avoiding him

Emily pov

Since the incident at the restaurant I have been avoiding him , and I have successfully done that for the past 2 months I even got transferred from serving to the kitchen and I was grateful for that , I didn’t even complain when my boss choose me as a replacement for one of our cook’s who gave birth in fact I was so happy that day . I didn’t have to deal with perverts anymore, though my best friend wasn’t as lucky as I am but we still see each other every now and then

I was at work when I received a distress call mum has fainted again yes again , this has been a reoccurrence since Dad died (sad) my co worker volunteered to cover for me while I rush to the hospital to check on my mum , everyone at the restaurant knew my situation so it wasn’t hard. On getting to the hospital I spotted my siblings on the hallway I rushed to them trying to get some info about mum but it didn’t help as they were all crying. I tried to calm them down when a Doctor came out of the operating room

Doctor: Are you related to the patient?

Emily: yes Doctor she is my mother

Doctor: ok follow me

I followed her quickly with my siblings trailing behind me , we arrived at the doctors office and we sat down but I was too anxious so I began throwing questions

Emily: doctor is my mum ok ? Is she dying? ( tears already rolling down my cheeks)

Doctor: No miss , your mum is fine so you need to stop crying, your mum just fainted cos of stress and overthinking she is stressing her brain too much and her blood pressure went high, just a few days of rest and she will be fine

Emily: (sigh of relief) Thank God , thank you doctor thank you so much

Doctor: no need to thank me your mum is a fighter , but do you know why and what is making her think so much ?

Emily: I think she is not over my Dad’s death yet , they loved each other so much I guess she is not over it yet , but she said she was fine we talked and she assured us that she was fine ( I was now a crying mess)

Lexi: I catch her sneaking into the basement where we kept dad’s things, she goes there every night when we are sleeping

Emily: Oh Lexi why didn’t you tell me

Lexi: You are always busy going from one part time job to another, you always come home late and I didn’t want to bother you I didn’t know it will result to this I’m sorry

Emily: shhhhhh it’s ok Lexi it’s not your fault

Doctor: I think she is over him yet , it’s always hard to lose a loved one I understand her pain , why not get her a therapist? That might help her

Emily: Thanks doctor

We left the doctors office and went to the room my mum was in , the doctor said she will wake up soon and we wanted to be around her when she wakes up . I already texted May telling her everything was fine she has been texting nonstop, she promised to come by later and bring some things from home I thanked her and ended the text

I looked at my mum and siblings once again then I felt my eyes getting wet again I couldn’t afford to lose another parent I have lost one already and we are haven’t gotten over it yet , I prayed God heal my mum of the pain soon .

I fell asleep with Stacey in my arms while Lexi was lying on the couch , I woke up when I felt hands on me then I saw May standing with bags in her hands I hugged her and let the tears flow , she patted my back as she always does when am crying, she always know how to calm me down she brought food and some clothes, I woke Lexi and Stacey up so they can eat after which they had their bath and changed their clothes, I wanted them to go home with May but they refused say they wanted to be around when mum wakes up I couldn’t stop them I let them stay Lexi took Stacey with him to couch and laid with her I covered them up and went out with May

May : How are u feeling Ems

Emily: I don’t May , I thought mum was doing ok I was just too busy to notice she wasn’t it’s all my fault

May: Don’t say that , I bet your mum didn’t want to Trouble you , you know how your mum is

Emily: yea but look at where that landed us , she should have said something anything at all

May : Take it easy cupcake don’t over think things we don’t want you passing out as well now do we (winks) your siblings need you I need you ( she is been dramatic now)

Emily: oh shut up ( laughs) and what’s with the cupcake

May : Your new name I gave it to you

Emily: What happened to Ems ? ( am literally put my hand on my waist now

May: Nah that’s old ( we both ended up laughing, one thing I loved about May she always know how to make me Laugh)

Emily: Thanks for coming May I don’t know what I will do without you ( I hugged her so tight )

May: I know right nothing like nothing now release me , you are breaking my ribs

We both ended up laughing so hard I forgot for a minute why I was here , May left after saying goodbye to my siblings she also told me I shouldn’t bother about work that Mrs Jose gave me two weeks off and she gave an envelope containing some money apparently my co workers contributed something for me . I loved them so much I pray I have enough I will so spoil them .
