Justin at the headmaster's office

It's 9:30 am early in the morning, Justin is inside the head master's office talking to the headmaster while looking down on the ground thinking about his mother condition at the hospital after she got an accident last night, while Justin is thinking about his mother, The headmaster then speaks to Justin,

"I understand you Justin on what you are going through right now with your family but you only have six weeks left until you graduate from highschool, don't you think that is a little bit risky for you to stop coming to School in this last moments"

Justin raises his head up as he looks at the headmaster's face and then replies to him,

"Sir, i understand you Sir but i can't leave my mother and brother in this situation, I'm the only one who can help her at this time and no one else"

The headmaster replies to Justin,"I understand you clearly Justin but i think you should consult your father first about this maybe he might help you and your mother on this situation"

"Sir!, my father doesn't want to see us anymore because he is with another woman and when we tried to contact him in order to ask him for his help he didn't answer any of our calls or messages"

The headmaster looks at Justin with the pity look on his face and then replies to him,

"I'm so sorry for what happened to you Justin and your family and don't worry about it , i will talk with your class teacher about this so that we can find a way to help you and your young brother with your academics"

Justin replies to Headmaster, "Thank you sir"

"No problem Justin you can Just go to the hospital right now and see your mother, i will inform your class teacher about this after school lunch break"

"Okay sir, thanks again for this"

The headmaster nods while replying to Justin"No problem"

Justin then gets up from his seat and then leaves the headmaster's office heading to the hospital to take care of his mother,

During the time Justin is walking on the school hallway heading out of the school entrance on his way back to the hospital, Jade then sees Justin walking on his way home with his home clothes while she is at her locker looking for her books,After Jade sees Justin on the school hallway she then starts to get curious on why Justin wore the home clothes as he passes heading to the school entrance,

Jade then decides to run to him in order to talk to him as she calls Justin from behind while she is running

"Justin, Justin, wait for me"

Justin doesn't here Jade's calls due to so much stress that he has while walking facing his head downward and After Justin reaches the school entrance he then leaves the school compound heading back to the hospital on his way back home

After Jade's long attempt of calling Justin without getting any answers,Jade then stops and starts asking herself some questions while looking at Justin leaving the school compound,

"What is long with Justin is he still mad at me for what i did to him or is there something else that has happened to him and his family?"

Jade keeps asking herself question without getting answers as she looks at Justin leaving the school compound,

Hospital Bills

Justin and Smith are outside the hospital ward window looking at their mother breathing on the oxygen while being treated by the doctors,

While Justin and Smith are outside looking at their mother, Smith asks Justin a question as he gazes looking at his mother on the bed,

"Justin can i ask you something?"

Justin nods as he replies to Smith while looking at his mother, "Yes sure what is it Smith?"

"Will our mother be alright after the treatment?"

"Of course she will be alright why are you saying that?"

Smith replies to Justin as he drops tears on his face, " Because i don't want her to die right now on this time and leave us all alone"

Justin pats Smith's shoulder as he looks at Smith while replying to him,

"Of course not, don't ever say that Smith your mother will be alright okay"

"But what if she dies while receiving treatments"

"Don't worry Smith just leave it to God everything will be alright i promise you"

After Justin is done comforting Smith while giving him hopes, Justin then looks back at his mother while she is taking treatment from the doctors

In short while while Justin and Smith are looking at their mother at the ward window from outside, The doctor comes out from the patient room and follows Justin in order to  talk to him,

"Hello, young man"

Justin turns and looks at the doctor and replies to him, "Hello sir, how is my mother doing right now?"

The doctor replies to Justin with a smile, "Don't worry Justin she will be fine soon"

Justin exhales in relief as he replies to the doctor, "Oooh, thanks god she is fine right now"

"Where is your father Justin?"

Justin looks at the doctor without knowing what to answer and then he decides to reply to him,

"He is not with us right now"

The doctor asks Justin," where is he right now?"

"I don't know sir where he is right now to be honest"

"Okay"

The doctor takes the bill paper and gives it to Justin while speaking to him,

"This is your hospital bill Justin"

Justin takes the bill check while speaking to the doctor, "Okay sure, how much does it cost?"

The doctor replies to Justin,"3000 dollars"

Justin startles in shock as he replies to to the doctor, "What 3000 dollars?"

"Yes Justin it's 3000 thousands dollars"

Justin loses strength after hearing the amount that he is supposed to pay for her mother and then Justin agrees to pay the doctor,

"Okay don't worry i will pay the money as soon as i get it"

The doctor replies to Justin, "Okay"

The doctors leaves Justin scanning while looking at the bills on the paper while figuring out the way to pay the bill.
