Aubrey pov: my mama was never the type of person to get sick often. She just didn't sound right to me. I gotta have my brothers check on her. I called my brother Christian and hopefully he can go check on her.

Christian:(answers) hey sis what's up, how you feeling?

Aubrey: I'm alright, but I could be overthinking things but can you go check on mama or have Caleb do it.

Christian: um yeah, what's wrong?

Aubrey: I just got off the phone with her and she sounds really short of breath. She said she was good but I got a bad feeling

Christian: alright, we'll I'm leaving work now. I'll call you back in about 30 minutes alright

Aubrey: okay

(They hang up)

Christian pov: man I hope mama okay cause this is the last thing I need brey panicking about. I made it over to my mama house and rung the doorbell but she didn't answer. I waited a minute then used my key and went inside.

Christian: mama? It's Chris... brey said she was worried about you (walking around) mama?

( Christian finds her laying on the kitchen floor)

Christian:mama !( runs over to her and starts calling 911 and checking for a pulse )

Operator: 911 what's your emergency?

Christian: I think my mother is dead.....
