-HI JESSICA Emily purses her lips and gives a small wave.
-ALISON WHY IS SHE HERE? my mother questions me while crossing her arms giving me a look of disappointment.

-HER NAME IS EMILY, YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT I say to her. I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD ADDRESS HER BY IT I add making Emily look at me and smile.
-UNBELIEVABLE my mom mutters.
-YOU WANTED TO TALK SO LETS TALK I reply walking past her going into the house.
Sitting down on the sofa I accidentally knock something on the floor.
Reaching to get it I notice that it's our family photo album.
I also notice that the book is open to a picture of me and mom.

She must've been looking at it.
-HOW ARE YOU DOING? she questions me. YOU DON'T LOOK TOO GOOD.
-I COULD BE BETTER I start. BUT IM ALIVE SO LETS JUST BE THANKFUL FOR THAT I say to her.
-YES SWEETIE BUT YOU LOOK AWFULLY TIRED ARE YOU SURE...
-IM SURE I rudely cut her off. JUST SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY SO I CAN GET YOU OUT OF MY PRESENCE.
-ALI Emily shockingly says looking at me like I'm crazy.
-EMILY DO YOU MIND? my mother questions her.
-YES SHE MINDS I answer before she could. WHATEVER BULLSHIT YOU HAVE TO SAY NOW YOU CAN SAY IT IN FRONT OF HER BEING AS THOUGH SEAN WAS HER SON TOO.
-SON? she asks. I WASN'T AWARE THAT YOU WERE HAVING A BOY she adds.
-YEAH YOU WOULD KNOW THAT IF YOU DIDN'T ABORT OUR BABY WITHOUT OUR CONSENT I mumble. LOOK, JUST TALK PLEASE.
-I'VE MISSED YOU SWEETIE my mom smiles. YOU HAVEN'T CALLED, YOU'RE FATHER AND I WERE WORRIED SICK NOT KNOWING WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU she bullshits me.
-YEAH YOU WERE REALLY WORRIED I scoff.
-EXCUSE ME YOUNG LADY? my mother folds her arms and leans all of her weight onto one leg. I AM STILL YOUR MOTHER DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO ME LIKE THAT she scolds me.

-NO YOU'RE NOT I sneer back in response. MY MOTHER WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.
-ALISON Emily lowly hisses looking over at me.
-WHAT EMILY? I snap clearly shocking her with my tone of voice. I'LL BE IN THE CAR I inform her. SINCE SHE HAS NOTHING TO SAY I add standing up and walking out as my mom screams something out to me.
Emily's POV
Being left inside with Jessica I awkwardly look up at her.

Hearing her sniffling and quietly sobbing I sigh and roll my eyes before standing up to bring her in for a hug

-PLEASE DON'T CRY, IM KINDA BAD AT COMFORTING PEOPLE I say lightly patting the top of her head like a puppy.
-WE DID WHAT WE DID FOR HER Jessica cries into my arms. I'VE SPOKEN TO PROFESSIONALS AND ALISON'S LEUKEMIA IS GENETIC she informs me. THAT BABY WOULDN'T HAVE LIVED TO SEE FIVE YEARS OLD.
-OKAY AND THAT'S REALLY SAD IF ALL OF THAT IS TRUE I start. BUT YOU MURDERED OUR BABY, DID YOU HONESTLY EXPECT HER TO COME HERE AND RUN INTO YOUR ARMS? I ask. ALISON LOVES YOU BUT SHE JUST NEEDS MORE TIME I add before sitting down.
Sitting down as well Jessica grabs the nearest box of Kleenex using them to blow her nose and wipe away her tears.
-IM TRUTHFULLY SORRY EMILY she confesses and apologizes. FOR EVERYTHING, FROM WHAT I PUT YOU AND ALISON THROUGH TO MY DISRESPECT TOWARDS YOU BECAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND YOU she says as we sit there.

-IS THERE ANYWAY YOU COULD FORGIVE ME? Jessica questions.
-I FORGAVE YOU A LONG TIME AGO I admit. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'LL FORGET WHAT YOU DID I raise one brow.
-IM NOT ASKING YOU TO she quips. COULD YOU JUST TELL ALISON THAT I LOVE HER AND WHENEVER SHE DECIDES TO TALK TO ME SHE'LL GET A PERSONAL APOLOGY AS WELL.
-I CAN DO THAT I state giving her a half smile.
-YOU'RE A GOOD ONE EMILY Jessica adds in as I get up to leave. IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO FOR YOU JUST LET ME KNOW she smiles.
Stopping in my tracks at the door I remember something.
-ACTUALLY NOW THAT YOU'VE OFFERED I start up again. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU AND KENNETH WOULD BE OKAY WITH ME MARRYING ALISON? I ask walking back over to her.

-OH EMILY OF COURSE she nods. I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER PERSON TO LOVE HER she lastly says before hugging me and sending me on my way.
Back outside I climb back into my rental car seeing Alison sitting there with her arms crossed and a mean mug across her face.
