It was now Wednesday. The middle of the week.
"Just 2 more days " I kept telling myself "2 more days till the weekend"
I woke up this morning feeling calm, alert, and confident. After putting on my clothes, I pulled my auburn hair into a high ponytail and made my way down stairs for breakfast.
To my surprise my mom was actually cooking. The kitchen smelled like eggs and bacon, real bacon!
We never eat real bacon, Mom thought it was disgusting and had said "Turkey bacon is more affordable and its also healthier." I walked down the steps totally forgetting about the fight we had yesterday.
At first things were awkward, we both glanced at each other in silence.
I started first " Mom, I'm sorry about what I said to you yesterday" I felt guilty
"Ellie, I understand how you feel, with everything about your father. I just wouldn't tell you because I thought it would be too much for you to handle." She sighed
"Well I do have a lot of things on my plate but, I just want to know whats going on." Mom walked towards the table and we both sat down.
"Your dads doctor said that his procedure went well" I sighed in relief
"So then whats going on?" I asked
" Well the doctor thinks that the procedure might have also weakened him.You know his immune system is very low now. They think he may have picked up a virus during the operation." My face fell
"WHAT! YOU MEAN LIKE SOMEONE DIDN'T WASH THEIR HANDS PROPERLY!!" I practically screamed
"Well something like that" she mumbled
"That's crazy! We need to sue" I yelled
" Its kind of hard to do that, there were so many doctors inside during the operation and its almost impossible to find out where it came from"
" well we should sue the hospital" I said
" I'm the lawyer here so lets leave that to me" She said taking my hand
" How weak is he?" I asked
