Next morning, Sue emerges from her room, closes the door on Ashley's loud wailing, and goes over to Ford's with her face full of exasperation."Are you okay?" He asks her. She smiles in an almost sad way. "Could you possibly help me find something for Ashley to wear? I got all the clothes, shoes and bags from yesterday but she's refusing to wear anything. I'm exhausted." Sue plops on the bed, visibly tired.Ford laughs. "You're the fashion designer." He teases while pulling her up. She allows herself to be pulled up and walked back to where she had left Ashley.Surprisingly, Ashley was dressed. Although wrongly, she had worn something. She wore a small teddy bear crocheted crop top and a high waist jeans on her head."Ah." Ford sniffles, unable to hold in his laughter. Sue sighs. "All she wanted was to choose her own clothes. Imagine what she will be like as a teenager." Sue sighs and puts the clothes right on her body.Ford stays and watches with a brown striped and long piece of clo
"I'll be your granddaughter, Grandma." Sue says softly and half hugs the woman. "Whatever it takes to make sure your daughter goes back to being your daughter after letting go of her grief."The woman used all of her willpower to hold in her tears. "Thank you very much darling." She sniffles and gives Sue a full shoulder up hug. She stops sniffling after a little while and looks at Sue. "Then it won't be too much if I asked if you could help me with her moving back home?""Not at all. Let me get things and get a last word with Ford... Eh. Mr Mason." They are acqainted on a professional basis so it won't be nice to call him formally in front of someone that he'll have work and business with in the future."Sure. I'll go get the car around and waiting in front of the building." She smiles with a small pat on Sue's forearm, a nod at Ford's direction and then she exits the room, a wide, relieving smile dancing on her lips.Sue picks up her bag and sighs. "I really want to do this for the
Sue sits down beside Holly on the bed and holds her hand. "Hi.""Hello darling. How're you doing?" Holly asks Sue.Sue smiles warmly. "I should be the one asking you that. How're you feeling?""I'm fine. Just perfectly ready to go home. I mean, I've been lying down for quite some time I heard." She teased and proceeded to sit up.She had been on her back for nineteen years so the doctor had said her legs will be numb for quite some time. For now, she'll be on wheelchair until she regains the strength to stand up on her own two legs once again.Sue helps Holly comfortably unto the chair and quickly goes to help Jean to pack the bags. For someone who stayed in the room for nineteen years, she had surprisingly little to pack.Sue didn't have to wonder for a long time. "I know what you're thinking. She doesn't have much here right?.." Jean laughs, visibly happy. "I always came here to pack her things evening of everyday and brought whatever she was going to need the next day as well. So I
Sue looked closer at the image and noted that all three ladies were clad in graduation gowns, holding flowers and certificates.Holly was in the middle, smiling widely like the other, holding her certificate in her hands, linking hands with a younger Sharon and she also linking hands with the third girl who was smiling widely, yet timidly in a slight way.Sue was only more puzzled. How come Sharon never mentioned her friends?But then, Sue thought again. She wasn't her actual daughter so maybe it was only normal she didn't know about it. But now that she knows that she and Holly had a connection, Sue is more than interested to find out what they were and why they never kept in touch, nor saw anyone of them show up now that she's awake from her coma induced accident.With the unanswered questions still ringing at the back of her head, she moves on to the next few pictures. There was a picture of Holly's marriage to a man. He was really handsome and had a toothy smile with all his white
Sue sets out to find and bring Jean and Holly to the table for a brunch to make up for the breakfast they missed and lunch.She found them both in what looks to be Holly's room. On the wall are numerous pictures, polaroids and her marriage frame.She looked so beautiful and younger in it."You looked beautiful in that gown." Sue commented on the wedding picture. Holly smiled."It was one of my many happy moments."Talking of happy moments, Sue took a seat on the bed and watched them both unpack and sort things out. Occasionally helping to pass something or drop something, Sue asked the question that had been bothering her."I came across that big room with pictures. They were all beautiful. Every single picture had a ton of memories."Jean chuckled. "Holly was quite the picture taker. She took after me in that you know?" She winked.Sue laughed slightly. "I could tell. You had quite a lot of pictures of yourself too." She turns back to meet Holly. "I also happened to stumble across yo
Alexa trudged home with a ton of bags trailing behind her, filled with male and female children shoes, all wrapped neatly in their boxes and placed in several different coloured shopping bags.She snaps at the gate guard to open the gate for her, and then the maid shearing the garden flowers to come help her take the bags inside.She is so irritable that everyone who heard her voice coming from the outside cleared out before she could enter and fire them for every little and stupid excuse she can find.But unfortunately, a young maid still becomes a victim of her anger. As she tries to dash out of sight before Alexa catches her, Alexa yells at her."YOU! Over here."She peeped to see if she was the one and sees Alexa looking at her like she dared her to disobey her. She walked slowly to meet her, her head bowed."What's your name?""It's Sc...""I don't want to know. You're fired!" Alexa suddenly shouts. "Another fucking maid here"The maid was open mouthed. "What did I do ma'am?" She
Sue has dinner with the McCartneys and true to Jean's words, their car takes her back to Ford's office and drops her there with a small giftbag secretly handed to her from Jean while Holly was waving her bye and asking her to come again.Still reeling from knowing Sharon's connection with Holly, Sue enters the elevator and then remembered something Holly had said.They were the three musketeers because they were from the richest three families in the whole school.Sue frowned slightly, holding her bag to herself. Sharon was a rich kid?That was not possible. Sue could recall once when she was a teenager, she had wandered into into Sharon's room. Sue could not remember what she had been looking for but she had seen this big box under the bed and brought it out. She had seen younger pictures of Sharon in it.Some were in her teenage years so it ruled out the fact that maybe her family had been poor once and then gotten extremely rich close to her teenage years. In the pictures, Sharon
Sue was rushed straight into surgery as soon as they arrive at the hospital. Ford was wondering how it was they seemed to always end up in sticky situations that always land them in the hospital, either to visit someone or as a victim themselves.Ford started to doubt whether he should have really held her back at the airport over two months before or if he should have let her go, he would have saved her this trouble if she had left like she wanted then.Pacing restlessly outside the ward, a nurse came out running past. Soon she returns with bags of blood in the tray in her hands.Ford recognized her as one of the nurses that had gone in to Sue's surgery. He grabbed her hands, stopping her."What's going on?" His voice raspy"She is a special blood type and we are running out. If you could get any of her family members to donate blood or if you're compatible... What's your blood type?""I'm a O positive.""You can't donate to her. She's AB negative. Please bring her family member, pre
