Mama D was brushing a now sitting up Angelica’s hair when Monica softly knocked on the door. “Knock Knock!
Am I interrupting anything?” she asked walking in. “No, not at all.” Mama D stated putting down the brush
and excusing herself. “Hey Monica! How long have you been here?” Angelica asked tying her hair hack. Monica walked
around the room before sitting on the end of her bed. “Not long.” She said. Angelica glanced at Monica. “Are
you alright? You look, well, different.” She asked. Monica looked at her nervously than smiled. “Well I did have
my hair highlighted recently.” She said patting it. Angelica shook her head laughing. “No, that’s not what
I meant. Oh, never mind.” Monica got up and again looked at Angelica’s various medications. She picked up one
and smiled to herself. “These are the ones that you can pull apart to mix in things if you have to. I remember my mother
had Benadryl like these once and I was always pulling them apart to watch the powder fall. She’d get so mad.”
She said laughing. Angelica laughed too then had to lie down because her head hurt. She was asleep as soon as her head hit
the pillow. Monica again smiled to herself and crept over to the dresser, where she took out five of the pills she had admired
before and put them in her pocket. She then quietly said goodbye to Mama D and Pollyanna and returned home. The guys were
finished with rehearsal but only Nick and AJ accompanied Howie back to his house. “So has Monica called you back?”
Nick teased. AJ glared at him. “Haven’t I already told him to shut the hell up today?” he said letting himself
in. Howie brushed by Nick shaking his head. “As much as I’ve heard that, it never gets old.” He said. Nick
pouted. Pollyanna was in the kitchen helping Mama D with dinner when she greeted the guys.“You hungry?” she asked
them. AJ and Howie looked at each other. “We are, but you can answer Nick’s for yourself.” AJ said, Nick
again pouted and threw himself on the couch and started flipping through channels on the TV. Pollyanna laughed and returned
to the kitchen, as AJ joined Nick and Howie went upstairs to check on Angelica.
Angelica slept soundly not knowing that
Howie was in the room.
Momma d walked up behind howie and said “ son I know how you feel about her we all do
But
you need to just tell her your self I want to see my mi ho happy “
Then she patted his shoulder and left
howie sat on the foot of the bed watching angelica sleep and
Thought about the following weeks events the guys would
be on tour for a month and a half starting that coming week and then the court date howie wanted to be there for angelica
but he didn’t know how to do that and the tour too. He was lost in thought when he felt angelica’s hand on his
.
“Howie what are you thinking about “? She asked looking at him.
Howie smiled and said “ just thinking
that’s all hey are you hungry because if you are ill let mom and polly know and they will bring you something right
up ok”
Angelica smiled and said “ ok yeah I am some what hungry”
“Yo nick soups
on AJ yelled from the kitchen.
Momma d walked by and gave AJ a stern look then said “Alex this is a
kitchen not some yelling compation now please go get nick from the living room and ask howie to come down”
AJ did
as asked and then sat down when his phone rang
“hello oh hi Monica yeah sure where at ok are you sure you want
to meet tonight ok yeah sure no problem what time again” then A J hung up the phone everyone was looking
at him.
“What he asked it was Monica she wants to hang out tonight at 8 we are going to go from the club to a restaurant”
AJ said.
Monica hung up the phone and sighed as she looked at the pills
“ How am I suppose to get these in to
angelica with out being caught I don’t want to do this” she thought to herself but Eric had promised
to help her with what ever she wanted. if she would just take care of angelica because with no one there to press charges
