"why would I want to spend all day with.. with old people" I defended for the millionth time slightly cringing at the idea of wasting my day with my mom at her office, wherever it was
"I told you, you'll enjoy it" my mother countered still acting as if it will be the best experience of my life
I threw my arms up in the air with frustration "yes mother cause' spending 7 hours with you in an office spells out party"
I wasn't often this way with my mother but sometimes I can't help myself
relaxing a bit, I looked at my mom aging face just begging to spend time with me
time she was slowly losing, and time I was refusing to give her
see my mom was recently diagnosed with Brain Cancer
usually she would ignore 'bring your daughter to work day'
she was already annoyed with the small children he colleagues would bring
but I'm older now, and the clock is ticking
I looked down at my shoes unable to look my mother in the eyes
you're probably wondering why I don't want to go
you're also probably thinking I'm a heartless she witch that hates her mother
but you couldn't be more wrong
I love my mother with every fiber in my being
I just... I just don't want to accept the fact that she won't be here longer
I want this year to be like every other
where I don't have to count down the days till me and my dad plan my mom's funeral
but that can't happen, I won't have a fairy godmother coming my way telling me that with a simple flick of the wrist all my problems would go away
no this, this is reality
I finally looked up
my mother stood there, you could see how desperate she was
my heart cracked a little knowing there wouldn't be much time left
"I'll go" I said quietly
her eyes brightened up, "really?" she questioned disbelieved
I nodded, she then immediately ran into my arms
"soo umm mom?" I said as we slowly pulled away from her tight embrace
she smiled at me "yea hun?"
"where do you work exactly?" I asked nervously, I never really bothered to know
she chuckled at my small knowledge about where she's working at for the past 17 years
I never really bothered with it, as long as we had a roof over our head, and food on the table
"well my darling daughter" she said sarcastically
" I work at Syco Entertainment..."
and that is where my adventure began
