Back at home Cindy's parents were busy looking for a therapist a trusted one of cause. It was hard on them and they could not inform their daughter yet.  The doctor back at hospital had shown them a chart that displayed the results of the scan they had done on Cindy's brain.
It was not good at all, the doctor had warned them that if Cindy would not speak up and get therapy so as to heal and let go of the past she would end up getting a brain tumor.
This news bought back devastating memories of Paige. Rachael looked at her husband and endless tears and sobs could be seen and heard.
"Honey, it's gonna be okay," he said as he hugged her and patted her back.
"Everything is going to work out well,"  he said.

"I don't want us to loose her to, I'm still mourning her elder sister, I have not yet let go of her, this can't be happening to us again." Cindy's mom said as she covered her face with one of her hands as the other one held on to the results of the scan.

It was devastating for both of them and as they paced around making calls and inquiries to different hospitals, time had really gone and they had to pick up Bianca from the day care. They really had no choice but to leave her there for the time being as they sorted Cindy's issue out.

Exactly at two in the afternoon their car stopped in front of the day care gate and they hooted. Immediately the lady that owned the place walked out holding Bianca's hand as they walked towards the car.

After exchanging a few words with her Rachael waved goodbye and carried Bianca inside the car and they took off.

"Had and awesome day?" She asked her daughter.

"Yes mom, there were lots and lots of barbie toys and I played with my friends,  then we took a nap and ate cookies that miss Audrie gave us."

"Wow, you had that much fun?" Tom asked.

"Yes dad I had fun, but I really think I miss my sister, my friend in the day care said that she always goes to eat ice cream with her older sister and they have fun together." Bianca said with a sad expression on her face.

"She said she'd call me yesterday but she didn't, Cindy broke her promise. " Bianca said as she looked down and a few seconds later she started crying at the top of her voice.

"Don't worry we are calling her right now, stop crying it's okay. " Rachel picked up her phone and called Cindy but she couldn't get through to her. She tried again as few times and she  finally picked up.

"Hey mom, I'm getting off work in a few I'll call you when I clock out, can't talk right now, bye."

" Wait, don't hung up first, it's an emergency, " Rachael said.

"What! emergency? is everything okay?"  Cindy panicked for a moment, she thought her parents were also in trouble.

"No Cindy we are fine, it's Bianca, she's holding a tantrum because she misses you, could you just talk to her for five minutes, she's saying you broke her promise."

Cindy could hear Bianca crying from her mom's end.

"Fine give her the phone....Hey Chipmunk, how are you?" Cindy greeted her with a soft tone.

"Hey besty, I missed you loads, you promised to come see me, are you still coming, I want ice cream."

Cindy laughed "of course you want ice cream, how about we do this, I'll pick you up on Friday then you can come to my place and stay over the weekend, we will eat ice cream and watch lots of movies together, deal?"
"Okay deal, I'll wait for you with mommy in front of our gate."  Bianca returned the phone to her mom and her mood was lifted.

"Okay mom will talk later, say hi to dad."

"Bye," Rachael said and hung up."

Back at the office Cindy was contemplating on whether to call Justin or not. She had gotten rid of the note and smell of perfume in her hand. She wanted to stay calm and collective and more so she needed to leave before Jake found her too.
