Now you see me

//Archer POV//

I ran my hands through my hair, signed fustrated and tired, I was angry and sad..

The last thing I needed was to sweat myself thinking about my mom, but it already happened..I sat at the visiting room with my little sister Carly, a sweet blond hair adorable girl..I looked at her and she was sad , she had been crying since we got here I had to carry her and ease her up..I felt like crying but I couldn't I didn't want to..I had to be strong I told myself..

My mom had an accident on her way coming home from work, some drunk lunatic hit her with his bike ...I was ready to murder that idiot but he was already taken by the cops and my mom was admitted here..

It's been 3hrs now and we haven't heard from anyone..

After some minutes we were told she was gonna be ok, that there weren't any serious damage but some minor injuries that had to be treated carefully and she had to take a home rest for about a month..

We were finally allowed to go see her, I felt happy I told Carly and she couldn't wait to go see Mom, I had been in detention when the news arrived they let me go because of it..

We arrived at the room where our mom was being kept, it was a big room, other patients were lying on their own bed with a minimized space for each and everyone....

We walked to her she was awake thank Goodness , Carly left me and ran over to her, I walked carefully to her and sat by the chair on her side..she smiled at us..

" Mom..are you hurt" Carly asked with her little sweet concerned voice

" Of course not, mommy is really strong, "

" Will go home with us then"

" Of course I will, we can leave today"

" No you won't" I told her with a stern voice and a cold look in my eyes, I kept my emotions to myself..

" Archer.." my mom started but I cut her off

" You're not going anywhere..the doctor said you need bedrest  and you will get it" I told her with a harsh tone..

I knew my mom she wasn't going listen to me unless I was strict and threatened her..she was ready to go back to work this instant if she wasn't stopped..

Work!!! I snorted, what was so important about babysitting a sick boy instead of paying attention to her self..

" Archer.. sweet heart..,"

" Don't..I want you to shut up and take your rest... you're gonna take a bed rest for a month like the doctor said and nothing else.."

My mom straighten herself and sat upright..

" I can't..stay in bed for a month, and I can't even stay in bed for three days, I have a job ..."

I cut her off real fast

" Just cut it mom, look at your condition and you're still worried about your job, " I raised my voice...

" Calm down and keep your voice down"

She scolded me ,we were attracting attention..

" You're not going anywhere..I will tell Dad"

" Archer please"

I frowned at her facing anywhere but her face cause I might give into her ..

" Archer my job is important, it's life or death ok.."

I looked at her with a scowl and a cold gaze on my face..

Carly did nothing but watched..

" Why is it your job to look after a sick kid..what about his father, they think they can just dump his problems on you... whatever his issues are I don't care...it's not your problem, it's not mine either"

" I can't stay here" her voice deepen , she was getting mad and once she did she gets ugly and I give up when she does..but not this time I had to stay in control for the sake of her well being..

" You will stay here mother, I don't care if I hav to tie you down or drug you ..you aren't going anywhere..and damn me if I let you.."

I got up from my seat..

" Am calling dad and he's gonna come and when he does you know very well you have no option.."

" Archer.. Archer please..."

I didn't wait for her to finish I flung out of the room , so pissed..

I needed a walk, I need to clear my mind...my mom getting into an accident and she still wants to endanger herself by going to work...hell no

What was so important about the boy she took care of , he has a father who is freaking rich, his father could hire more people to take care of him why my mom.. they don't care about her health only theirs , I was so pissed and possibly very hungry cause my stomach was aching,...

After walking around the hospital surroundings I finally calmed down, I had called my father earlier and he told me he was coming to visit..

My mom knew better than to disobey his orders, we weren't as rich as those people she worked for but we were rich enough to get body guards to tie down my mom..one thing about my father he's overprotective, and once anyone in his family is an harm away he would do anything to keep that person safe....

I walked into the room to see Carly sleeping in my mom's arm..I walked over to her and sat down, and she woke up immidiately the minute I sat down...

The silent stood between us for some minutes but she broke it before I did..

" Archer..are you ok" her soft voice was very relaxing..

" I should be asking you that"

" I know you're worried about me but I promise I'm fine"

" Yeah I know.. that's exactly what I used to say to you if I didn't want to see the doctor"

" Listen to me darling..it's not only just about the job, it's about the boy ok.. he's really sick and if I stay away for too long.. he's going to....I don't even want to imagine what's going to happen"

I took a breath and signed

" Hey Mom" I said in the sweetest way possible

" Yes dear"

" He's sick "

" He is..""

" He has a father.."

" Yes there"

I chuckled with a grin in my face

" They're rich too"

" Yeah..why"

" He has everything he needs.. I'm very sure you're not needed ..his father is rich so he can hire other people to take care of him.."

" He'll panic he doesn't like being around people who he doesn't know"

" Mom" I said with a soft low voice

" Archer.."

" I don't care..what I know is you're not going anywhere, am going to take care of you, so what you can do now" I held her hand and smiled at her " is call his father and tell him to come get his sick dying hell of a son".

She dragged her hand away and frowned at me, I didn't care and that was the truth..

" I didn't teach you to be this heartless"

" You didn't have to, but like dad said if you love something you'd do anything to protect it..and by the way ..dad will be here tomorrow morning with your own personal guard.."

I went off to the other side and took Carly off her body then carried on my shoulder,

" We'll be back tommorow, it is the weekend after all" I said and walked away.....

I dropped Carly who was fast asleep in my arms on the backseat of the car, she was 4 years old I didn't want her in hospital..it's smells of blood and other things I could hardly identify..

I sat on my car and took a deep breath , even if I didn't care what happens to the sick boy, I couldn't help think what was gonna happen if no one is there taking care of him....I mean was his illness that serious...what was the name again..damn I forgot,

According to mum he hasn't stepped out of his house since he was a child,he was just 5yrs of age when his mother was shot in front of him, some believed that was reason for his problems...

Ah hell whatever it wasn't my business...mom was gonna call to inform his father anyway

I drove my car out of the parking lot and headed home..
