CHAPTER 1
Mondays

-------

    The last few years in my life haven't been easy. Not that my life ever was easy, but particularly challenging.  From the death of my uncle, to the never having a father figure, to private school drama. My life was complicated to say the least.

"Moe wake up" mom said forcing me up. I lived with my aunts, their kids, and or partners. The people I share my house with varies quite a bit. I sleep in the room that i guess used to be the study? Im not sure.

"Morgan, the faster you get ready the higher the chance we get starbucksss" Mom bribed. "Chilllll I'm up" I replied standing up quickly. I really needed that Starbucks this morning.

I usually went to the hospital if I had no other plans because I frequent separation anxiety from my mom a lot.

"Who else is working today?" I wondered. "Just me" she smiled. "Perf so we have time" I giggled. My aunt Maggie always rushes us to be out the door.

"Okay babes get ready we have about 30 minutes" she stated kissing my forehead and walking out. I really think I have the best mom ever.

I put on grey sweatshorts and a white baby tee. I braided my hair the night before so i just undid those. I only really needed to put on mascara and lipgloss to go to the hospital.

   "Mama I'm ready to go" I said stepping into my mom's room. "Ok sweetheart, grab my purse and go ahead and get in the car"

    "Wow, we made good time! Which means we have enough time for Chick-fil-A and starbucks" my mom smiled.  "Are you serious?? Yay!" I beamed.

    I took aux while we drove mostly playing Taylor Swift. I got a very berry hibiscus refresher while my mom got a chai latte, hot because she always says iced coffee is just flavored milk. I still think thats weird but I'll allow it I guess.

    We went to the lounge to eat once we got to the hospital, April was in there as well. "Hey Morgs" she greeted. "Hey April" I said hello in return.

    "Hey M, I'm gonna run" Mom kissed the top of my head. "Please don't tell me your leaving me to meet Owen" I scoffed. I never liked my mom's choices for partners but Owen was particularly off putting. I always felt like he wanted to be my dad, but I mostly wanted to avoid him. "I'm just going to talk to him for a second then I have to get off to work" she justified. "I guess I'll allow it" I huffed.

"Don't let Jackson see you got starbucks, I told him we are only eating at home for the week and he would be practically foaming at the mouth if he saw one of those" she joked.

  "Haha I bet" I laughed. "He needs to learn how to get through life without spending so much money on unnecessary thing" April continued. I liked Jackson and April. They were so different but got along so well. Sometimes I wonder how my mom was with Dad.

"ALEXXX" I yelled running to hug him. "Hey jelly bean!" He said hugging back. "I might have a favor to ask of you" he revealed. "go on?" I was intrigued.

"So tonight, I have a date with Jo" he began. "Go on?" I inquired. "But I may have accepted another case so I need to push it back an hour" he confessed.

"So you want me to break the news?" I smirked crossing my arms. "Yes please, she's so scary when she's mad. But she can't get mad at you!" he plead.

   "Yeah sure, can you just come remind me when my mom goes into surgery?" I asked. "Yeah sure I have to head off to do rounds, I love you" he mumbled on his way out. "Love you too!"
