I walked into my room I dropped my phone on the bed and sat down i was worried about raising money for my sister and i also have to worry about a kidney that matches with her isn't this life unfair
I stood up and tried to see if there was anything i could eat but there was none, i sighed and checked my purse but there was nothing there. I had no money to even eat, I went to my tiny kitchen and drank water to fill my stomach, i walked back to the bed. I picked my phone and tried to call that number again but it was unreachable .
I dropped my phone and tried to sleep, but sleep wasn't coming through how would sleep come through, i have so many things on my mind and I can't do anything about it, only money can solve it
I stayed up all night without sleeping and the next morning i woke up more determined to get a job and at least save my sister's life.
I got up and wore an old dress that my mom had bought for me before she left, packed my hair into a ponytail and walked out of my house, my confidence level has risen. Going into the busy streets i was determined to get a job as soon as possible. Although I didn't know exactly where to start from, but that wouldn't stop me. I saw a coffee shop and went in but came out rejected, i wouldn't let that let me down, i spent morning and afternoon trying to get a job but instead i got a lot of we will get back to you and by that time my confidence level had gotten low, i sighed and made my way to the hospital, i went straight to June's room but she was unconscious again, i walked to the hall way and sat down trying to process the days event.
I stood up and walked to the doctor's office, i knocked and heard a come in
"Good Afternoon Aubrey " he greeted me and i smiled weakly at him
" Good afternoon Doctor, i went to see June but she's still unconscious"
i tell him and smile on his face faded away
"I don't have good news Aubrey" He said and i braced myself for whatever news he had to tell me.
"June's condition is really deteriorating and we need a kidney transplant as soon as possible, and you also need to pay But we can worry about the payment later. First we need to do a surgery as quick as we can" he says and tears clouded my vision
"Umm Doctor, can we find a doctor soon?" I ask him
"Yes we can, don't worry Aubrey we will find a donor" he says and i nod
"Thank you Doctor " i say and walk out of the office, going back to June's room i saw a nurse doing whatever she could do there
"Thank you miss" i smile at her and she nods. I stood by June's side and held her hand in mine, using my other free hand to wipe my tears, i sniffed and just stared at her without talking, all my efforts to get a job had been a waste.
She stirred and her eyes flutter , i smile and stroked her hair
"Hey baby, how are you?" I ask her and she smiles faintly, if I wasn't so close to her I probably wouldn't even see her smile. "I feel very tired Bre, and my tommy hurts" she tells me and i try to smile
"Don't worry sweetie, you would get better soon" i say and she looks at me, probably didn't believe anything i said
"What's really wrong with me Bre?, please tell me the truth I don't feel good all the time, my tommy hurts so much that the doctor's has to give me something to use, so please what exactly is wrong with me?"
She asks and the words get stuck in my throat
"Don't sorry sweetie, there is nothing wrong with you that cannot be fixed, I don't want you to worry you little head about it" i tell her and she smiles
"Okay Bre" she says and i smile at her
"I have to leave now baby, but I'll be back soon" i tell her and she nods
"Bre, I don't like the hospital food, i know we don't have so much money But do you think you can maybe buy something for me" she tells me and i smile
"Okay Juju" I walked out of the room and walked back outside, well i had nothing to do today. My sister's condition kept deteriorating, i need to raise 400, 000$ how i would raise it, I don't know.
I went to my usual park and sat down, my tommy started to rumble a lot. I haven't eaten for at least two days it's just water and now i am beginning to feel so hungry. At least June is eating even though it's hospital food
I clutched my stomach and sat down, trying to suppress my very hungry self, I can't keep drinking water and at this point i am really desperate. I sighed and stood up, walking back home.
When i got home I undressed and went to my tiny kitchen and drank water again, wiping my mouth i heard someone knock on my door, i wonder who that it is. I went ahead to open it and saw a very large man standing in front of me, dressed quite classy
Why would a man dressed this way come here?
"I'm sorry, i think you're at the wrong door" i say and attempted to close the door but he used his feet to block it
"He doesn't have the wrong door" i heard a thick voice say and the person with the voice comes forward, nodding at the large man to leave he looks at me and removed his dark shades, I recognized him immediately
He was the guy whom i had seen in doctor hales office, but why was he here, more importantly how did he know where i live?
He looked too expensive to be here, he looked so out of place in my house, scrunching his nose he looks around before his eyes settled back on me
"I'm sorry, i am very sure I don't have anything to do for you " i tell him and he raises his eyebrow
"But i have something to offer you and I believe it would also favor you" he says and i sigh
"Alright come in" i tell him and moved away, he bends and comes in. He looked so out of place in my tiny apartment
"You can sit here" i gestured at the small chair, he looks at it and smile
"No, I'm fine standing " he stretches his hand forward
"I'm Doctor White, i work in the same hospital we met, Doctor hales is my colleague " i looked at him confused, and i would never guessed he was a doctor, i would have said a model"
I shook his hand "I'm Aubrey, what can i do for you" i ask him, getting tired of the conversation my tommy had started to hurt again
He looks at me and dusts his tailored suit
"I want you to be my Surrogate "
I Looked at him as though he was sick, i started to laugh while he remained i expressionless,"wait you're joking right, you do know what surrogacy is right?" I asked him and he still remained expressionless"I know very well what surrogacy means and i want you to be my surrogate"I want a child and i want you to carry it for me, for whatever amount you want" he says as though we were talking about a toy, i look at him in the eye and saw that he was serious"Why did you choose me?,you have to be joking right" i say and he pulls out a card from his suit"Here take this, when you are ready for serious business you can call me" he says and handed me the cardI collected it from him and saw as he pulls out wad of cash from his wallet and placed it on my bed"Take this, i could hear your stomach rumbling from miles away so i know you haven't eaten in days, get something to eat" he attempted to le
I got back home and looked for the card i was given by Doctor White and i saw it, shakily I dialed the number, i heard his thick voice over the phone "Hello" i took a deep breathe"Hello Doctor White, this is Aubrey" i say and i could feel him smile over the phone"Are you ready" he asks me and i replied him"Yes i am" i tell him"Alright, meet me at Culla's Cafe" he says and hung upI looked at me phone and sighed well it's now or neverI walked out of my house and took a cab to the cafe, i got there and tried to locate him but when I didn't see him i took a sit and waited for himA waiter comes to meet me and asked if i wanted something but i said no, Ten minutes had passed and he hasn't gotten here yetMaybe he has changed his mind i sighed and looked down at the table. I heard a tap on the table and i looked up to see who it was and it was the almighty Doctor White, he sits opposite me and looks at me.
A few moments passed and my sister was wheeled out from the room into the hallway, They stopped at my front and i kissed her forehead "i love you Ju" I whispered and watched as they left, tears clouded my vision as i watched my sister being wheeled into the surgery theatre. I sat at the hallway praying and hoping everything turns out perfectlyI don't know how long i sat there for, being anxious and hopeful. My palms began to sweat so much, i had no control over it *This couple of days i have come to realize that whenever i was anxious or nervous my palms tend to sweat a lot. I sighed and walked towards the restroom, i washed my hands and went back to sit at the hallway, i wiped the sweat that was beginning to form on my forehead and i brough
"Good evening Doctor " i greeted him and sat down"Good evening Aubrey" he says and smiles at me "your sister is still under observation, but there is absolutely no need to worry, we would continue to observe her reactions throughout the night alright " he tells me"Thank you very much Doctor, I'll be on my way now" i say and stand up to leave, i walked out of the hospital. I went back to my favorite park and sat down, the last time i came here i had no means of paying my sister's surgery and now that i am here, i signed a contract to be someone's surrogate and my sister's surgery has been paid, the surgery was successful. I wiped the tears that had began to fall down my cheeksThis was actually tears of joy, these past few days has been horrible, I didn't even know how to get out of the loads of problems i was facing but here i am. I sighed and watched as the parents began to take their kids home as it was getting dark, I don't know how long i sat down th
I walked into June's room and saw exactly why it was a private room, it was so much bigger than the other rooms, very very nice.I walked over to June's bed side and held my hand still smiling *funny right* it's not as though she's awake, so why am i smiling? I don't know myself. I gently stroked her hair"JuJu it's Bre, I'm sorry I haven't been able to come here to see you till now, the doctor said I couldn't see you till today but just so you know. I kept my promise and i was waiting outside all through your surgery, the doctor says the surgery was successful and all that's needed is for you to wake up, so Ju please wake up. I want to hear your voice and also see you smile and i know that you want to see me too so i will be here patiently waiting for you"I kissed her forehead and took a sit on the chair beside her bed*would Mr obnoxious allow June to stay in his home as well, well he would he knows she is your sister and would obvi
I smiled internally and got into the car, he gets in beside me and starts driving "do i have to remind you to use your seatbelt?" He asked,still looking ahead and drivingI rolled my eyes at his annoying attitude and used my seatbelt"I saw that, and maybe you shouldn't do that again you won't like what would happen if you do" he says in a deep threatening voice and i shrunk in my sit*i told you this man had eyes behind his ear*He parked at the same block and looked at me, i rolled my eyes internally and unbuckled the seat belt, groaning internally i got out of the car and watched as he sped off*stupid Mr Obnoxious *I started to walk towards the hospital, i got to the hospital and walked straight to June's room, I opened the door and saw her awake and watching a television show"Hey Sweetie " i say and she turns to look at me"Bre Bre, i missed you" she says and i smile at her"I missed you to sweetie" i
I walked into the mansion, standing awkwardly at the entrance, the lady looks at me "come in miss" She says, still smiling at me and i walked in fully to the house*I was busy admiring the outdoor, inside the house was magnificent and so much more beautiful, definitely more beautiful than the outside *Okay this man has really good taste, everything in here was exquisite"Sorry, please where is my room?!" I asked her and she gestures for me to follow her, we walk upstairs to the hallway *Rich people really do live rich*She opens a door "This is your room ma'am, please call me if you need anything " she says and i nod"Thank you" I entered the room and closed the door*didn't i tell you this is a castle, my room looked like it was meant for a princess, never in my 22years of living have i ever though i would be somewhere like this*I dropped my bag on the bed and checked Around the room, I couldn't sit on the bed for fear
I stood outside the hospital, pacing around"Oh goodness, how would i get back when I don't even know where exactly to go too" *and i am so sure Mr Obnoxious would not offer me a ride, i guess i would be sleeping in the hospital tonight, but if Mr Obnoxious finds out*My phone started to ring and i picked it "Are you done making a fool of yourself?" He asks and i roll my eyes*I know i made a fool of myself but he didn't need to make it as clear as he did"Yes i am" i murmured on the phone"Come and meet me at the usual block, i will be there soon* He says and i breathed a sigh of relief*even though he acts like a jerk at least he is helping me out today *I walked quickly towards the block and got thereI stood there waiting patiently for him and i saw his car sped towards me and halts at my front, i got in and shut the door, i used my seatbelt and looked at him"I'm really sorry" i say and got no response
