FADE IN:
INT.MALCOLM PORTER BEDROOM.BREAK OF DAWN
MALCOLM awakens from the loud ringing of his alarm clock that reads 5:00 AM. He rolls off of his bed and glances out his window to see the sun barely starting to rise. Malcolm walks to his closet door and pulls it open. He reaches for his construction uniform and tosses it on to the edge of his bed, then pushes the closet doors shut.
While Malcolm is putting on his uniform he hears a slight cough and tossing and turning from the room next door. Malcolm continues to get ready for work when he suddenly hears the COUGHING get worse and wheezing. Malcolm opens his door to a pitch black hallway, He turns the light on and makes his way to his mother’s room. As he reaches for the doorknob he pauses to hear nothing but dead silence. He turns the doorknob then pushes it open to see his mother in her bed and a tissue with red stains in her left hand.
INT.CANDICE PORTER BEDROOM.SUNRISE
Malcolm enters the bedroom.
MALCOLM:
Mom, are you okay?
Malcolm asks hearing the nervousness in his own voice. Nothing but silence.
MALCOLM:
Mom?
CANDICE:
I’m okay sweetie.
CANDICE says in a weakly voice, she lets out a tired yawn and stretches her body.
CANDICE:
Malcolm can you please grab my pills? There in the kitchen on the table.
MALCOLM:
Yeah, I’ll be right back.
Malcolm exits the room.
INT.KITCHEN.DAY
Malcolm makes his way to the kitchen and opens a cabinet to grab a glass cup and fills it with water from the faucet. He then walks to the kitchen table to snatch the pills. He reads the label to check if it’s the correct medication. “OXYCODONE HYDROCLORIDE EXTENDED-RELEASE Tablets”.

Ignore grammar errors, what is your opinion on it so far?

Besides grammar errors, I think it's interesting. I'm no medicine expert so if Oxycodone Hydrochloride Extended-Release tablets are something crazy I missed that but I thought it was descriptive enough.
