"You know I love you right?"

"Mama I know you love me and I love you too" I said smiling sweetly

She held my hand in hers and smiled weakly "Kathryn my baby promise me you'll take care of yourself"

"Why are you talking like this? You're talking as if you're gonna die, you can't do that to me!"

"Kathryn just listen to me and be a good--"

"Enough!" I cut her off
"I've had enough, don't even go there at all! You'll live okay?! You'll not die" I yelled weeping uncontrollably.

One of the things I hate most was to see my mom cry it breaks my heart and that is what she did that particular day she broke my heart . I know she was  trying to be strong but the tears wouldn't stop flowing.

I moved closer to her and wiped her tears away with my hand.
"Mom don't worry okay? I promise you'll survive this, I'll do anything to make sure you live! If I have to work extra hours I'll do it!" I said giving her a small smile even though deep inside I was a mess.

"Okay baby, I believe in you but don't go hard on yourself baby, eat and rest at the right time" she replied trying to sound cheerful.

How can I rest when you're right here laying on a hospital bed.

" I will" I stood up, kissed her cheeks and grabbed my bag.

"Goodbye mom, I'll see you later"

"Take care dear, I love you"

"I will and I love you too"

I opened the door and stepped out.

"Excuse me Miss? Miss? We are here"

"Huh?" I mumbled quietly before comprehending what the cab driver just said. I smiled politely at him and thanked him while I hand over the t fare.

"Keep the change" I said cheerfully even though I was a nervous wreck.

"Thanks ma'am! Do have a nice day!"the driver replied and drove away.

I walked into the cafe and luckily for me my boss was no where to be seen. I hurriedly made my way to the back to change into my uniform black mini skirt and a white shirt that was too tight for my liking.

" You're late" someone said behind me.
I know that voice....Alysha

"Good morning to you too" I replied sarcastically while glaring at my best friend.

"Wow! Don't give me that face bitch" she said with a gentle smile

I stared at my best friend and I couldn't help but admire her. Her waist length brown hair that looked just like mine, her eyes were an emerald green color contrasting well with her hair and her eyes were fringed with long lashes.
She's not exactly curvy but she has a nice shape.

"Hello? are you still here?" She waved her hand in front of my face smirking

"I'm sorry I zoned out, I was just admiring you" I replied grinning

She laughed heartily "Wow! you didn't tell me you love me, just propose already and let's get married"

I smacked her head playfully "Get the fu*k bitch! you should know more than anyone that I don't do girls"
