{Riley's P. O. V.}

We waited in the waiting room for another 2 hours before the doctor came in and gave us the news. My fingers were crossed, my legs were crossed, heck everything was crossed, in hopes that my mom was gonna be okay. As the doctor walked in I bolted from my seat with Colten a few centimeters away.

"Doctor is she okay?!" I nearly shouted. The doctor gave me a look. The look he gave me, I did not like at all. It was filled with so many different emotions. If he didn't speak soon I was gonna loose it.

"Miss Mackenzie, I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?" He asked. Without a second thought, I said,

"Good news first please!" Crossing my fingers I waited as the doctor sighed.

"You mothers condition is stable. Everything was fine and everything went well. The bad news is," he stopped for a moment and heaved another sigh.

"The bad news is, she's in a deep deep," he hesitated for a bit. I could tell the next few words that were soon to spill from his mouth wasn't going to be good. That hesitation killed it. I assured him to go on.

"Your mother is in a deep coma." He finally finished. I froze. Wait. What. Coma.

"This has to be a mistake Doctor. My mom can't possibly be stuck in a coma. I just talked to her today and she was perfectly fine!" I babbled.

She can't be in a coma. By then tears were running down my cheek. "I'm sorry Miss Mackenzie, but the fall that your mother did, made her hit her head against the side table and since she had a brain tumor it triggers a nerve and put her in a coma. We don't know how long she will be stuck in this coma. But it looks like for maybe a few months quite possibly a year or two. Now I'd like to tell you that you may come back and see your mom. We will do our best to help your mother." After he finished he gave me an awkward hug of reassurance and left. By then I was completely lost. This can't be happening.

Turning around I looked at Colten. My lips were trembling, I was so cold and scared. Colten walks up to me and wrapped his arms around me.

"Shh, it's okay Riles. You're gonna be fine. If anything you and Benji can spend a few nights at my place. I'm here for you guys. My mom and dad can help out too. Just give us a call whenever you need us okay." Colten said in one big breath.

"Thanks, Colten. I'll take you up on that. But right now. I think I should wait till Benji gets home and then we'll talk about it." I say giving him a tighter hug as more tears rolled down my face.

"No problem Riley. I'm here for you guys. Now, why don't we bring you home and I'll bring you back here first thing in the morning."

I simply shook my head and we left the hospital.

The first thing I did when I got home was taking out my laptop and turning it on.

After leaving the hospital, Colten brought me home safely and said once again that if we needed anything to just call. After 20 minutes he said goodbye and left.

I had the house to myself since Benji was at aunt Brenda and uncle Steve. Quickly typing in my password I opened up a Google and typed in the search bar 'Babysitting jobs'. The first site that popped up read, 'Help! Babysitter needed. Cost $10 an hour.' I scrolled down some more. All of the babysitting jobs that I looked through wasn't gonna be enough money to help our current situation.

After hours of searching, I was finally gonna give up. Before I closed the tab, something caught my eye. I looked closer at what the last site on the page said. 'Nanny needed. Weekdays from 3:30 till parent arrival and weekend 7:30 am till parent arrival.' I clicked on the link. As the page popped up I read it carefully.

The biggest smile spread across my face. This was it! This was the perfect job!! After having a mini dance party in my room I grabbed my phone. I dialed the home number of the nannying gig and waited for them to pick up. The phone rang three times before someone picked it up.

"Hello?" Said a tired raspy voice.

"Hi! Is Mrs. Gold home?" I asked.

"Yeah hang on. MOM!" I heard the person on the other line yell after.

"Hello?" I heard another voice say.

"Hi!" I say again.

"Oh, hello! Who is this?"

"Hello, Mrs. Gold. My name is Riley Mackenzie and I'm calling to ask about the nannying gig you posted online. I would be honored to apply for the job."
