  Michael had arrived his house earlier that day-- the day they fired him. He opened the door completely broken. He fell on his sofa and tried to make his self better by trying to convince him self every thing was going to be okay. He kept saying ,"everything was going to be okay".
   Then he knew his only hope was help from Nathan. As he thought ,his phone rang.
  "Please be good news" he prayed to God knows what.
    " Michael Jones "
" yes this is he"
   " your appointment with Teacher Nathan has been booked for tomorrow at 4pm.
  He said you should come with your instrument, everything musical you have"
   " oh thank you so much sir won't miss it for the world thank you so so so so much."
  He kept saying thank you over and over till he was cut off.
   " Mr Jones, point taken. So it's tomorrow."
      He dropped the call and screamed at the top of his vioce, " YES!!"
  " it's not over for me. I still have a chance" he continued. At least, he still had hope.

  " Cely, please could you bring my phone from the dinning room "
   " sure sweet"  she hands him the phone.
  " your the best. I am running late I better hurry. So how do I look?"
  " you look great. I could eat you . It's just you will be too sweet for my teeth."
  " you are one crazy Lady "
" I know "
Phillip turned to leave, rushing to the doors.
   " aren't you forgetting something ?"
   " what's that?"
He said confused. Then it hit him
   " oh my bag. Thanks hon"he turned to leave "
  " aren't you forgetting something "
   " you...."
He turned back and kissed Cely.
   "Not forgetting you my little unborn angel" he said giving a kiss to Cely's  tummy.
  " bye hon"
" bye sweet cheese "
" cheese? " Phillip asked.
They both giggled

      Phillip had a wonderful family. A wife two kids and an unborn baby. God was I mean is extremely good.

     The next day, Michael woke up with the loud sound of his alarm.
"Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb"
" what? What, who is there?
    Michael said confused with the loud sound.
    " oh it's you alarm clock "
He stretched his hand and searched for the alarm when he got a hold of it , he put it off.
And used his pillow to cover his head. Just then his mind reminded him
    "Wake up silly don't you have an appointment today with the teacher. Start doing things so you won't be late"
   " Mind or what ever you call your self . my appointment is at four. No need to wake up early "
   " you have to take your machine to the mechanic dumb head and it's 10 am"
      When he heard the time from his mind, he jumped up.
   " Mom. I have to see mom."
He became a robot doing everything in a hurry and after thirty minutes he was through. Then he began to recite his plan for the day while locking his door.
    " first a stop at the hospital then the mechanic shop then back home then the appointment then dinner with Nina. Great."
   He rode his bike off to the hospital.
  At the hospital,
" hey doc how is my mother "
   " Michael son. If we don't get that operation through soon enough, we might lose her. The tumor is rapidly increasing. She sometimes forgets how to eat."
  Tears were already forming in Michael's eyes.
  " so doc, how long do we have."
  " a month son a month or we loose her"
    " OK thanks doc for the heads up"
  The doctor placed his hand on Michael's shoulder to console him
   " you can see her if want to"
"Sure"Michael replied taking out some tear drops from his cheeks.
     He walked pathetically to his mom's room and entered. He motioned to wards her,sitting by the corner of the bed holding his mom's hand in his patting it like a baby's back, While she stayed on the bed looking frigid. Not seeming to emit any emotions at all. Michael began speaking with eyes all teary and eventually his countenance was drowned in tears
    " mom, I haven't been able to raise the money for your operation. I lost my job and its really hard." He said chuckling in tears.
     " I am so sorry mom I am not able to care for you the way I should.  Please forgive me. I try but it's not working "
   He said wiping tears from his cheeks
" oh and Mother I think I found her. She is pretty, hard working. I think she is the one.
The one to stand by me my whole life. I already have it all planned. The wedding, kids mom everything "
   While he spoke, his mother gave a quick smile then back to her old frigid mood.
     " mom did you smile? "
He asked hoping she was going to make another move. His mind was surprised of how beautiful his mother looked when she smiled. He had almost forgotten how much he missed the smile that revealed her dark gums. Michael had always loved his mother. Despite the fact that she was over protective of him. They were not the richest family around but no body messed with her son. She was going to march up to were you were and dip her fingers into your ear drums and take out wax for you to hear that nobody dares mess with her son or she would dip her fingers into your nostrils and pour her son's Cologne so were ever you heard the sent you will run for your life." (Just kidding about the finger. She was just over protective. She could do any thing for her son.) Michael waited for her dark gums to be revealed again but rather, she stayed and after some few seconds, she began to shake uncontrollably. Her eyes were virtually not moving at some point it seemed as the bones on her neck region were about to gorge out like a broken bone.
" what's wrong mom? What's wrong? " Sheer freight in his voice.
   " doc!"
He yelled running out. Luckily, the doctor was around to reduce the passion of his dilemma.
" doc something is wrong"
" what "
"I don't know. She just started shaking."
  " wait outside son"
" oh mom please don't leave me now. Please stay alive. Shut up Michael. She is not dying.  She is going to stay alive "
   He yelled at himself, patrolling up and down like a guard on duty.
