"Meredith get down here now!" Geez Mary get louder and I just might be deaf. Ugh sisters you know what I mean! Especially older ones that think that they have the advantage to boss you around?! " COMING!" " NO YOUR NOT I DONT EVEN SEE YOU!" " I don't  even see you, bluh, bluh." I mimicked hopping of the last step " what did you just say!" She sternly questioned as I came through the kitchen door.

Don't get me wrong I love my sister even if she makes me so frustrated at times. " Yes, oh dear mother?" I questioned as Anna giggled from the corner, earning a glare from Mary. My sisters were... How do you put this different. While Mary was stern and bossy, Anna was cheerfully playful. Mary was a brunette who never let her hair down, while Anna was so carefree her hair followed after her.

"Could you go to the hospital and send mom lunch, and grab her a coffee, with no cream in the way." " Yes sir!" I saluted as Mary rolled her eyes and turned back to her cellphone. "Mere bear, need some company?" Anna said as she lifted herself from the stool. "I'd love for you to tag along Anna banana." I said as Anna slipped her arm through mine. Sometimes I wonder what they think I act like? Mhm am I weird? Nah I'm sexy and I know it lol.

" When do you think mom will get out of the hospital?" Anna's smile faltered a little at the risky question. " I don't know, but all I know is that if she doesn't get surgery for her heart soon.." She sniffled and I rub her back understanding that life would mean nothing without momma, and her cheerful spirit and heartwarming smiles. Now it was a matter of where the money would come from? Mary had three jobs herself barely making it through rent, and Anna was a growing artist who was still in school. While I had just got out of college as a business major, and I was still looking into different jobs. This wasn't what young adults should be worried about. They should be worried about starting a family, and getting a job and worrying about what to wear to parties. But this was my mother and she needed me.

" Well enough with the sad talk come on let's get some Starbucks!" Anna cheered, wrapping her arms around my waist as we walked into Starbucks.
" Hottie alert, six o clock!" She noted, as we for seated at the front table.I looked to my right and saw an old man talking on the phone. " uhh wow Ann I didn't know you went for.. Older guys?" Anna raided her eyebrows before she swiveled my chair around to the left. " ugh what have you been learning in middle school, if not your hours.?"

I looked up from my phone and spotted a man staring back at me. I hurried and spun my chair around. " oh god! That was the most awkwardest thing I have ever experienced!" I whisper yelled as she giggled at my now red cheeks. " And he isn't even that cute. I mean who is even into tall over sized beasts like him. He's not a big dea..." I stopped as I saw Anna's eyes widen. " what... Please don't tell me he is right behind me?!" I whispered, as i felt my chair being swiveled back around towards a looming figure. " uh hi?" I questioned awkwardly smiling. " Hi, I was waiting on my coffee. You sat on my stool, while I went to retrieve it." He said in a gruff, stiff masculine voice. Geez grumpy much. What is he the king of all stools. " Funny story, let me tell you mine. I. Don't. Care." I said getting closer to his face each time. " Do you know who i am!" Well apparently I don't give a shit about who you are I wanted to say, but Anna gripped my arm and rushed me away with the coffees in her other hands.

" Do you know who he is? Omg he could have us all homeless in a snap and you wouldn't have known what was coming." One thing I didn't like about Anna was she feared too easily. Maybe it was because she was youngest or that she was usually a first impression kind of person. " He is Jared Stesillo. Umm ok was I supposed to know who that was. " Ugh." She mumbled as she took out her phone and typed something in. " Here this is what you have just called an oversized beast." Jared Stesillo, a young billionaire with a rising company of over 5900 all over the world! He Maybe a playboy. But when it comes down to work he is pretty serious. The article must've gotten pictures jumbled cause he doesn't even look like a playboy. WAIT?! BILLIONAIRE!! Your kidding right. Oh god, I'm the most stupidest person. I guess Anna saw the horror on my face and smirked. " Mhm oh did miss little I don't care who you are, finally realize something." She giggled as we got out of the car and walked towards the hospital. " Mamma!" I smiled as I ran towards my mother. " Baby how have you been? Have you ate? Do you need water?. Nurse my daughter..." " Mother I'm fine and you shouldn't be worried about me. I'm not the one with wires stuck everywhere." I stared with my hands on my hips sternly. " oh Anna, sweetie how are you? Where is Marian?" My mother was the most sweetest woman out there. Even though she was in the hospital, She always had an uplifting smile and was always worried about us.
" she's back at the apartment cooking dinner, cause she won't be here tonight. But we got you some food and Starbucks." Anna smiled giving the food to mother. "Oh you guys didn't have to do this honey, I could've just ate whatever the nurses gave me." "Mother you know we don't believe in food other than home." My mother smiled and scooted over for me and Anna to sit with her in the bed. " Oh how I miss being home, with my babies." She murmured, while hugging us both.
"Well what did the doctors say?" Anna questioned after we finished our food. " Nothing really, just that I needed surgery and bluh bluh bluh. Only my mom would joke at a time like this. I worried for her and wondered how she felt about this situation. We talked for a while until me and Anna decided it was getting late. We drove home in silence. Stormed by our thoughts and the radios background music playing.

Tommorrow I will search for jobs and hopefully I'll come up with something to help my mother hopefully. But until then I have to hope for the best and get some rest.
