Her father and mother got married for love, they got married at the age of 19 but her father was greedy and after her mother gave birth to Magnolia her father ran away with his girlfriend whom her father was cheating with while her mother was pregnant.
Magnolia was 6 years old when her father finally left them, during those years her father was cheating on her mother on and off with the same person that her father was with. Magnolia remembers that when her father left, her mother didn't pay her any attention at all.
Her mother became more like a vegetable who only breath while looking out the window, her mother doesn't respond to anyone nor does she eat on her own. The mother-daughter pair were left to defend themselves, Magnolia who was only 6 years old had to take care of her mother at a young age since they were poor and she couldn't afford to hire anyone to take care of her mother.
Magnolia was lucky that her neighbor was a woman who was her mother's friend and her son were the two that helped her take care of her mother and taught her how to cook. Magnolia became close friends with the boy next door to their apartment. They live in England, even though they couldn't afford to hire people to take care of her mother but they did receive monthly payments to help her mother pay rent and whatnot.
Magnolia also received money to go to school as well, she went to public school with the young boy next door. When Magnolia turned 13 the young boy next door to her and his mother moved away from the apartment.
"Take good care of your mother." the young auntie next door said to Magnolia said to her and she nodded with tears in her eye, the little boy took hold of her hand
"Don't forget me." The young boy said to her and she nodded energetically at him as he wiped her tears for her
"Don't forget me too." Magnolia said to the little boy who nodded as well, he handed her a necklace.
"My mother and I made this together, it's the only one of its kind. If you wear this, I'll be able to know that it's you." the little boy said to her and she nodded as she take the necklace from him
"I didn't prepare anything, but I'll always wear it." Magnolia said to him and the two little kids hugged each other goodbye. Magnolia watched them get into their car and drive away, leaving the little magnolia crying alone in the driveway watching them leave.
14 years later
Magnolia knew that she wanted to be a doctor so while she was still in high school she went to a doctor and took all the class that was needed, she went into medical school right after high school. When she first got into college she met with two women, Sabina and Beatrice.
The three of them became best friends, they rented out an apartment together. Magnolia brought her mother to live with the three of them in the apartment where they were living together, the three women took care of her mother.
After so many years had gone by her mother's at least answering when she talks to her mother but her mother doesn't talk to anyone other than her, the other two could feed her mother but her mother won't talk to the other two.
Sabina and Beatrice helped her so much that she was able to finish college and received her doctorate degree. She graduate at the top of all of her classes and year so she was able to make a speech at the graduation
"....Before I reached this point of life..." Magnolia said as she teared up looking at her mother in the wheelchair
"Everyone who looked at me would think that I'm the top but I'm at the bottom. Since I could remember, I remember that my mother is sick and my father left us. I had to take care of my sick mother since I was 6, to get to this point I've received lots of help from everyone. To the teachers in high school, my professors, my strong mother, and to my two best friends who helped me take care of my mother for me to come to this point." Magnolia said as she looked at her mother who was smiling at her
"I know how hard life was to all of us here, standing on this stage was not easy but we got here. Life will only get tougher as we go out there to the world and save as many lives as we can." Magnolia said as she ended her speech, the audience clapped their hands and she got off the stage and walked over to her mother.
From that day on it had been 2 years since she had graduated and had been hired as a doctor officially. Sabina graduated computer science a year after Magnolia and Beatrice graduated a year before Magnolia as management.
Beatrice worked in her father's company, even though her father didn't want her to be working in her father's company since her father wanted to give the company over to his bastard son to be the CEO of his own company.
While Sabina who came out from the army joined the National Guard as a tech person, she come home whenever she could. The three of them had been working in their role for two years now and they planned to buy a house together.
After 4 years the three of them finally bought a house together, they bought a three-story house with a basement and a three-car garage with a backyard.
Magnolia's mother had now started walking with the help of her knowledge in the human body,s she also gained more money to help her mother in more surgery or therapist. Magnolia's mother is finally talking to her more and more, her mother is also taking more walks around the house.
Magnolia bought a Great Dane puppy for 2000 when they bought the house, Magnolia have Sabina take her little boy to the training to take care of her mother as a service dog which Sabina was more than happy to do it. Soon enough the puppy grew up bigger than the three of them, she name him Biggy.
Magnolia thinks that having Biggy also helps with her mother's recovery as well since her mother became more active with Biggy and he even takes care of her mother as well as is protective of her mother as well. It was as if he knew that he has to take care of her mother.
Magnolia has jet black hair, dark brown hair with red lips, and pink cheeks. A small figure, with a diamond small face but despite her small frame, she takes good care of herself and rarely gets sick.
