I slowly open my eyes and saw mom sleeping beside me with her hands wrapped around me, my head was aching and then i remember what happen yesterday.
“mom,” i called out in a low tone while she quickly stood up.
“you’re still alive Brittney, i thought am gonna lose you,” mom said while i stood up.
“am fine mom, i really don’t know what happening to me,” i said placing my palm on my face, i walked to my room, it was such a mess. The heavy rainfall ruined everything. Jeezz.. what sort of life is this. I quickly packed my books to a corner and began to arrange my things even thou my head was seriously aching me.
“Brittney you need to stop all these,” mom said while i looked at her.
“look mom, my bed is ruined already how did you expect me to sleep on it today,” i said with a frown.
“i will help you to this, just take your bath, have breakfast then take your drugs,” mom said while i nodded.
“Brittney! aunt Russell,” i heard Arina’s voice from outside which i quickly went out.
“i just saw your miss call this morning aunt Russell, i slept early yesterday,” Arina said while i sat down and she sat down beside me.
“i almost lose Brittney yesterday, i was so scared, she fainted yesterday and i couldn’t get a cab to take her to the hospital,” mom cried while i just look away i hate to see my mother crying that way all because of me, why is she this worried about me, i can take care of myself.
“Brittney! Arina said then broke into tears. Mom and Arina are already crying and it making me get too emotional, i don’t want to cry.
“mom, will you just stop this, am still alive and all that matters,” i said trying to hold back much tears from my eyes.
“i will just make your breakfast,” mom said then walked to the kitchen, while Arina moved closer to me then held my hands.
“Brittney, get well soon for me, okay,” Arina said i just nodded.
“i hope so,” i said then wipe away my tears.
Few minutes later mom was done with breakfast and i was able to eat a little then took my drugs. Arina helped my mom cleaned up my room while i rested on the couch.

During lunch time i went to check on Courtney and meet her in the office busy with the paperwork, and sorting out some designs we gonna use for the year plan, she’s very hardworking.

“can we have lunch together? i asked her while she looked me then nodded.
“uhmm so sorry, my schedule for today is tight, i need to go somewhere with a friend,” she said while i felt so disappointed.
“it okay,” i fake a smile then walked out, feeling so angry with myself, why is she avoiding me this days or is it because of Loren, i thought they were now getting alone.
I went back to my office and switch off m system just then i recieve a call from mom and she ask me how thing s have been going on.
“it fine mom, but i need some rest, am coming home now,” i said then walked out of my office and order my guards to locked it up. I called the manager and told him to handle things for now.
