Riley's POV
I walked home in the rain that night it was actually kind of calming, the sound of the rain hitting the payment as I hummed to myself. I made it back to the house around 9
" i'm home!" I called through the house
" Hi honey!" my mom greeted me from the couch
" I got a few things from the store, even a surprise" I smiled
" A surprise?"
" Yup!" I said holding up the oreos
" aw thank you hunny" she said cuddling into her blanket
A few weeks later
" Did you eat dinner?" I asked her walking into the room
" I tried to but it made me sick" she said tired
I walked closer to her placing my hand on her forehead
" You feel warm do you feel sick?" I asked her
" You worry too much darling i'm alright" I smiled and walked back into the kitchen to fix myself a snack. We didn't have much to spare but I found enough to make a bowl of cereal. I wished my mother goodnight and headed upstairs.
I stayed up watching netflix for a while before drifting off in the middle of a new girl episode. Around 4 am I woke up to hear some shuffling in the kitchen I walked to see what the noise was and there stood my mother breathing heavy leaning over the counter
" Mom! Mom? Mom whats wrong?" I panicked
" I don't know" she coughed
" i'm taking you to the hospital" I panicked
I put her arm over my shoulder carrying her into the car as my heart raced. I sped to the hospital calling for help
" Help! Please help! My Mom has cancer she's breathing really heavy" I called to the ER leaving my Mom in the car so I could get her help
" Okay calm down, we will help your mom where is she?" the nurse questioned
" Right outside in the car please" I begged tears falling from my cheeks as doctors rushed outside. A nurse led me into the a waiting area as I fought the outburst of tears that wanted to fall. I sat in the chair bouncing my leg just waiting, I wanted a doctor to come out and tell me news but at the same time I didn't because I knew what that would lead to. We never even talked about what would happen after, what would I do without her? For the first time in what felt like forever I cried all the emotions I had been feeling in that waiting room, alone.
