 ================================================================================

Monday morning came and Maddie was off to school to drop Morgan off. Halfway to school she realized she forgot her phone, she didn't mind too much she just likes just in case of an emergency. Arriving back at the tower she heads to the kitchen where she last remembered putting her phone down. Walking in everyone was standing around the island talking, once she walked in everyone went silent. Everyone looked over at Maddie with sad eyes.

"Whats going on?" Maddie says in confusion pinching her eyebrows

"I think you should sit down for this Mads" Nat says pulling out the chair on the island

"Okay...am I being fired?"

"No you're not being fired, but we got some bad news" Pepper says

"What?"

"While you were gone, your phone was ringing, and ringing, and ringing. The same number kept calling. I decided to answer it and a woman by the name of Elizabeth Jackson was on the other line"

"Okay?"

"She waned to let you know that your dad has been confirmed dead and his funeral is on Wednesday at Greenwich Village Funeral Home from 2-4. I am so sorry sweetie" Nat reaches over embracing her in a hug.

"Oh, okay" she slowly wraps her arms around Nat patting her back. "You can cry Mads we are all here for you"

"Guys, I'm fine. I've known my dads been dead for 12 years"

"Wait what?" Pepper says

"My dad was in the military and he got kidnapped and at that point they presumed him dead after 6 months of being kidnapped. I've already mourned his death so I'm fine guys truly I am."

"Okay, do you want to call your mom, they said they had no number on record" Pepper says

"There's a reason why there is no number" she pauses for a moment twiddling her thumbs "She killed herself a few months after they presumed him dead...She hung herself in our backyard, I found her the next morning so I don't think she will be joining the funeral, maybe in spirit but definitely not in person."

Everyone looks at each other with sadness in their eyes not knowing what to do. "You can take the rest of the day off kid" Tony says "I'm fine Tony, I've mourned its been 12 years I've grown up" Tony nods his head. "Well at least take Wednesday off, we can have Happy take care of Morgan"

"Okay, well if we are done do you guys have anything you need me to do?"

"No, nothing you are free for the day until you need to pick up Morgan"

"Cool, well I'm going to go workout" See you guys later. She got up from the chair and left the room. 

"She's in denial" Sam speaks up. 

"I don't think so, I think she has accepted it" James spoke up "I mean it feels like just yesterday I found out my parents are dead and I'm over it, I've mourned and moved on. Maybe she is the same way"

"Hopefully I don't want her to think she has no one" Sam replies

Everyone stands there still not knowing what to do.

WEDNESDAY

Looking through her closet she find a knee length dress with mesh sleeves. Slipping on the dress she zipped it up until she couldn't no more. "Shit, where is Jasmine when you need her" looking in the mirror trying to zip it the rest of the way. Jasmine was out of town for a family function so there was no driving down to the apartment building. Throwing her hair back over her shoulder to hide her back she walked over to Nats door. Knocking three times she waited looking back and forth down the hall looking to see if anyone would show up.
