I was pacing back and forth as I looked up and down the street for my mom’s car. She had never been before. The fact that she wasn’t picking up her phone was what worried me the most.
Burring!!! My phone suddenly rang out.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Where are you?” my brother asked.
“I’m in front of my academy waiting for Mom to pick me up, but she’s 20 minutes late,” I replied. He then calmly said, “Don’t worry, but Mom was in a car accident. I’m coming to get you right now taxi. Wait out front.”
As we stepped into our empty home, I felt terrible. My mom quit her job and became a housewife after had children, so she was always at home taking care of us. As the youngest daughter, I never made chore. To suddenly have her away from the house made my hands shake.
“Listen Grace,” my brother said.“ I’m not sure how long Mom is going to be gone, so we have to up. Dad’s always busy with work and comes home late, so it’s going to be just the two of us for ale.”
“Who’s going to take care of us?” I asked in a low voice.
He looked at me confidently and said, “It’s high time that we took on some responsibility, right?” Holding back tears I lied and said, “Right, I can handle it.”
The next few days were a nightmare as I had to do everything since my brother left home for university. Clothes were piling up, but I didn’t know how to use the washing machine. Trash piled up as the training family members just ordered food for every meal and I didn’t know where to throw away them. I spent most of my day at home looking at the mess enlarging itself like a growing mountain.
