Jeremy's POV
Actually I feel happy that I, Caroline and Mum are off the stress of running that restaurant. Well I still have 2 other jobs to keep me busy and also I'm in my final year of college.

I stood up from my bed and I walked briskly to the shower. I couldn't afford to be late to work. I work during the weekend as a Clerk in 'Tommy n' Fridge royal Firm' . It's an accounting partnership firm though, but what they do, to be honest I don't know I just receive clients in and arrange files and other paper work. Accounting isn't my field.

Then also during the week at college after lectures,I work as an assistant librarian just on some days.

As I was done with the cool shower I wrapped my towel round my torso and I stepped out.

Oh no! It's 7:20am and I've not given mum her morning drugs. Well she's sane enough to use her medicine but she doesn't want to admit she's suffering from depression.

Well who likes to?

I picked a random T-shirt and a pair of jeans and wore my white sneakers and I rushed to Mums room as fast as I could.

"Mum?"

She wasn't there.

I knocked on the door of the bathroom. No response.

So I opened the door. She wasn't there still.

Then I ran to Caroline's room, badging in.

"Hey! Jeremy we discussed this" Caroline squealed.

"Where's mum??" Ignoring what she said.

"What do you mean by that she should be in her room" Caroline said as she continued typing stuff on her phone.

"You don't get it Caroline, she's not there" I spoke already sounding scared.

"Aww Mummy's boy!... you know she could be at the restaurant. She's not a kid." Caroline said not lifting her head up once.

Well the kid got a point.

"We all promised Maria, we wouldn't step foot there. Till next week Friday."

"And since when do you care of what Maria says"

I arched an eyebrow at Caroline.

Caroline began to laugh as she stood up from her bed.

"Alright, fine. Mum followed Maria to a Hospital, a much better one" Caroline said smiling.

"Maria is my hero" she said as she sat back on her bed.

"Why doesn't she ever listen to me. I told her we didn't need her help in that aspect" I said.

"Oh really? So Mum keeps getting sicker and you use those lame drugs you get over the counter to help and we don't need help?" Caroline spoke.

"Look if this was your pet dog then I'd leave you to do whatever you want, but this is Mum you can't gamble with her life, you can't continue to buy drugs that you search from Google"

Caroline said as she walked pass me, leaving me alone in the room.

I never search for drugs for Mum from Google.

Ok maybe once.

Yeah she's right. I just wanted to handle everything. Allowing Maria to help just made me feel less of a man and it bruised my ego.

I guess apologizing to Maria won't hurt.

Then I left the house I was like 10minutes late for work already. I walked to the bus-stop and boarded a bus to my office.
