LOGINROSEMy eyes widen immediately when my mom pulls a gun from her handbag, pointing it straight at my forehead."You really think there are no other ways to make you comply? I wanted to go easy on you, but your stubbornness wouldn't let you do as you're told. I knew you wouldn't agree to it even before I called, so I had a plan B. I had to bring this with me. Are you doing the transfer, or do you want it the other way?" Mom asks, placing her fingers on the trigger."You really want to do this? You brought a gun along with you to force me into doing what I don't want?" I ask."Don't try to act stubborn, Rose. Mom is trying her best to stay calm with you. It's just for you to pay for the transplant, nothing else. You have more than enough to do it, so why the tantrum?" Marie giggles."What makes you think I have the money? I don't have it. Haven't I made myself clear enough? Or do you want me to go and steal so I can pay for the transplant? None of you cared to ask if I had what it takes
NARRATORRose smirks mischievously, adjusting her glass."You came here to mock us, seriously? You could have stayed home if you know you are not here to help the situation," Mrs. Webster says.Rose scoffs, turns, and begins walking away."You're seriously going to leave?" Marie interrupts."Didn't Mom just say I should leave? I'm leaving; why are you making a fuss about it?" Rose asks, letting out a silly chuckle."You're doing this because you know we need your help. Must you always act this way every time?" Mrs. Webster yells."You need my help? Why would you be needing my help? I don't think there's anything I'd be able to help you with at this moment. I only came so it wouldn't look like I'm being disrespectful. I have other things to do too, so anything you have to say, be brief with it," Rose rolls her eyes."Mom asked you to come over for the kidney transplant, but you refused. We had to hire someone else to do it. You know we need to pay the person, and currently, we don't ha
NARRATORSeeing that the doctor isn't ready to agree with them, he rejects the idea again. The doctor threatens to report their plan to the police; he grows tired of trying to convince them to abandon what they have in mind.An hour later, they realize the only way forward is to allow the doctor to use the donor he originally suggested.Mrs. Webster and Marie can be seen standing at the entrance of the operating room, waiting for the doctor to come out."Don't you think he's taking too long already? Are you sure everything is alright?" Marie asks, as though the older woman has any way of knowing what is going on inside."How will I know if everything is okay when I'm outside with you? Let's just wait till he's done; then he'll come out and discuss it with us," Mrs. Webster tells Marie, reassuring her that everything is still under control."Rose — is she still coming?"After they find a donor, Mrs. Webster calls Rose and tells her about it.At first, Rose pays no attention and shows n
NARRATORMrs. Webster hesitates for a while before she nods."I think there's sense in what you just said. But how do we make it happen? Because Rose will never agree to that," Mrs. Webster tells Marie, who chuckles."What makes you think we're going to tell her first?" Marie asks."What do you mean?" Mrs. Webster questions instead of giving an answer."You know Rose will never agree to do such a thing, so it's best if we do it without her consent," Marie explains."That's fine then... just think of a way to lure her here," Mrs. Webster says, bringing out her phone, but then the door opens, revealing the doctor."There is no need to do that. I've been outside for a while now, and I heard everything you said. I'm sorry if you feel like I'm eavesdropping, but the discussion caught my attention. I just had to stand outside and let you both finish," the doctor says, walking in fully."It's okay. Just make sure you mind your business. Whatever you heard here isn't your concern. The only th
NARRATORAt the HospitalMrs. Webster walks around restlessly after Rose ends the call.The doctor says they have five hours to do whatever they have to do. He even offers help by finding them a donor, but they don't want any of that. They've made up their minds that the only donor they want is Rose, and the Rose in question isn't even ready to help."Mom, what did she say?" Marie asks immediately as Mrs. Webster enters."By now, you should know how mean your sister can be. Even after I explained to her that the donor in question is suffering from a fatal illness, and that his kidney might later affect your dad, even though the doctor guaranteed it wouldn't, she still refused. In fact, she ended the call before I could finish what I had to say," Mrs. Webster tells Marie."The reason she's acting this way is that you're taking it too lightly with her. He's our dad, so it's our duty to do this for him. Since we can't use mine, then she's next in line. Why can't she just let go of the pa
ROSEI force my eyes open since the phone won't stop ringing."Who could be calling me this early?" I grumble, dragging the duvet aside.I get up and grab the phone from the table beside the bed, and just like I expect, it is my mom.Why is she calling me this early? Probably here to nag as usual.I put the phone back on the bed and pull the covers up, but then it rings again.After the third and fourth ring, I can no longer ignore it, so I pick up and answer the call."So you've been intentionally ignoring my calls!" she yells into the phone."Why did you call?" I ask flatly."Don't talk to me like that, Rose. I call you three times; why don't you pick up?" she asks authoritatively."Please, it's too early for this. If you have nothing meaningful to say to me, I'll have to end the call. I should have known taking your call would only ruin my day," I blurt, letting out a short laugh."That's not how to talk to your mom, Rose! Have some manners!" she fires."Why did you call?" I ask ag
