hello everyone, before the chapters starts I will let you guys know that this chapter will have one of the major changes from the original story I hope you enjoy and I'll see you next time

Jim point of view

When I woke up in the morning my head was still hazy from whatever that was... I checked my body for the marks of that energy but there was nothing on my chest. I checked my window but it was still locked from the inside of course if this was some sort of fair I don't think it would've needed to open the window to come in

I mean, stranger things have happened but from what I remember in the brief calculation fairies lost the war to the pixies centuries ago so the fairies are extinct so whatever I saw was not a fairy if what I saw was even real to begin with

I mean, it's just a little too well timed I read about this so-called legend and then I have a strange dream connected to it. It was probably just my brain trying to fill in

yeah maybe  i have just spent too much time down in troll market I mean really what are the odds should get downstairs and make breakfast for me and mum maybe we can talk about she does seem rather concerned lately and I can't blame her I haven't exactly been... Great but I can't tell the truth because of I do get sent to the crazy house or give my mum a heart attack because she believes me on the concept that I've risked my life literally every night for months

getting anime pyjamas and going over to get a quick shower and getting my clothes aren't then going downstairs and making some scrambled egg and not in the mood to create anything extravagant today that dream really weirded me out

I mean seriously what was up with a reader legend and all of a sudden I get visited by fairy staff naked and downright gorgeous... No Jim you only have eyes for Claire

snapping me out of my thoughts my mum came down the stairs she looked tired but she didn't completely ignore my existence which was a positive side: mum I made some scrambled egg you want some?

Mum actually talking to me: that would be great sweetie and I think you and I need to talk it's something serious

oh when she says that it means something bad but however she's talking to me which is a good sign and after a few weeks of silence I might not actually mind getting in trouble so long as she talks to me so I'm make ourselves some scrambled egg with bacon and toast and we sit at the table

and that's when mum drops a bombshell on me: Jim I've been offered a job at a different hospital in another town At first I was can decline its birds I saw the amount I would get paid it's at least 10 times my current paycheck

I almost spit out my food: wait a minute mum are we moving!?

She shakes her head thankfully: no sweetie... Look i have been giving this a lot of thought and despite your behaviour lately you are still the relatively responsible 18 year old (remember his 18) I do still trust you to be on your own and you are 18 now also you are allowed to be on your own so here's how I see this going I work at the hospital in the other town for most of the week and some of the weekends and you stay here by yourself as well as taking care of yourself and the house and I'll come back on some weekends

I widen my eyes is she actually saying she's gonna leave me by myself I mean after everything that happened I thought she would want to keep a close eye on me is not like I'm not grateful for the responsibility and trust that she is giving me despite everything but this feels a bit saddened

I still Wrap my head around it: are you serious not that I don't appreciate your confidence especially after how I've been these past couple of months but are you sure... I mean leaving 18 year old son alone is not a bit risky

she nodded: yes which is why I've come up with a new system when I can come to see you someone else is going to be checking up on you and know it's not going to be Nana because I know that you can talk your way out with her so I've asked Ophelia as well as Darcy's and Mary's mum to come check up on you

okay that's a bit of surprise partly because I had no idea the three of them knew each other and also because am surprised that Claire's mum wants anything to do with me especially after the incident back at her house

I nod my head: okay the way how do you all know each other

Mum takes out a phone: were all in a WhatsApp group for divorced or widowed women it's just nice to talk to someone about the struggles about being single mum

Ah well I guess that makes sense wait... Claire's parents are divorced?: Wait hold on Claire's parents are divorced I did not know that last time I saw then they were still married when it is happen

mum: well apparently they've been having troubles for years now they've been trying to keep the public eye because of her position that it was just got divorced a couple of days ago but that's beside the point I won't be able to visit you on every weekend nor will I be able to visit or check up on you every night which is why those three will be coming round to make sure that you are....behaving yourself because if I hear that you have even so much as sidewalk I will be coming straight back I'm putting a lot of trust in you now Jim and despite the way you behaved I still think you are responsible enough for me to do this

I am flattered but also kind of scared I mean I know I fight troll is every night but living on my own... That's a big step up and mum is putting her last bit of trust in me: okay mum behave I will be the best that I can and more promise... So when you have to leave

mum: this weekend, in terms of money I will be sending you money through a bank transfer enough for groceries and other things you'll need also be keeping track of what you spend to make sure you're not using money for anything that you shouldn't be so don't think about buying a Vespa while I'm gone if I hear that you've been behaving yourself I might give you some more money to spend for yourself but only if you behave

okay sounds reasonable: I write anything else I should know

mum: yes your greater been slipping so I've asked someone to tutor you she goes to your school and shall come into contact with you when you're there you can discuss a scheduling that and don't even think about I get out of it your greater been slipping and if you want to live by yourself these are the rules you've got to live by I want you to see that tutor at least twice a week and if I don't see that your greater improving I will be coming back as well understand

okay well I don't like having to readjust my schedule for tutor but if that's what it takes oh try to find a way: okay I will I promise... Mum no offence or anything but are you gonna be okay living by yourself? I mean I know you're capable it's just well...

Mum chuckled: don't worry honey I'll be fine the hospital is providing lodging as well apparently were going is a new type of 24-hour hospital where the doctors and nurses live there eat there and it will be extreme but I'm used to late shifts and from what I've said I will get a bit more free time not enough that I can come back and visit you often just enough for me thousand and myself

okay I guess that's all that needs to be said about it I guess still pretty scary living by myself but maybe this is a good thing and ensure have to keep a watchful eye out for my new babysitters to make sure they see that behaving that with mum now around the house you might be easier dog about troll hunting staff and if I'm being honest I really could use a tutor my grades are not getting any better

so I guess I just have to adjust to the new system and who knows maybe it will work
