HARPERS POV:

It has been a week since the award ceremony, a lot of congratulations and well done were given over the past few days, still continuing.

We had displayed the awards in the cabinet in which all of Meredith and Ellis Grey's awards were set.

With Summer break starting, we had to plan days. With school being online for me, I spent a lot in the hospital, my Mom's office.
Aunt Mer thought it would be a good idea to open a summer volunteer group at the hospital for teenagers to volunteer in paeds.

Mom decided it would be best for me to volunteer as I already hosted art club for the paediatric ward. Tuck had also decided to volunteer, well more like Bailey forced him to.

Recently I have taken a passion to witchcraft, so currently I'm sitting in my room doing a session with sage and candles as well as some other things.

"Harper.." Mom says as she walks into my room in the middle of me practicing witchcraft.

Mom quickly takes a picture at me giggling.

"Harper I'm not even going to ask what you're doing, but get up and ready, I have a day off so we're going SHOPPING!" Mom says as she blows out my candles, then snatches the pillow from under me

"Harper I'm not even going to ask what you're doing, but get up and ready, I have a day off so we're going SHOPPING!" Mom says as she blows out my candles, then snatches the pillow from under me.

"Ouch, I'm getting up okay!" I said as I playfully threw the cushion back at her and she giggled.

I got out of my lounge wear and into something more casual, as I attempted to French braid my hair by myself, get frustrated at my failed efforts.

I slammed my hairbrush down and let out an agitated squeal.

"Harper you okay" Mom said walking into my room to check on me.

I was attempting to braid my hair, but causing it to knot.

"Hey let me help, you're knotting up your hair" Mom said with a slight chuckle. "Two French braids?" Mom said as she sectioned my hair. I nodded and she began to work on my hair carefully.

The braids turned out perfectly, they looked cute as my hair was still on the short side, well medium length now.

Hours of shopping

We walk out of the mall, bags full of new clothes, skincare, makeup and so much more.

We place the bags and shopping into the trunk of the car.

"I've been paged to the hospital for an emergency consult" Mom said as she check her phone before we got into the car.
"I'll just wait at the hospital for you, I'll find someone to annoy" I said chuckling.
"Okay, but be good" Mom said with a soft chuckle.
"I always am" I said with a wink.

At the hospital Mom is doing her consult with a patient I am just sat outside on some chairs outside the room waiting for her to finish.

"Harper you okay?" I hear Carina's soft voice.
"Hi Carina, yeah I'm okay just waiting for my Mom" I said smiling at the Italian.
"Sirena has been wondering about you" Carina said as she sat next to me.
"Yeah I'm sorry I haven't visited much, I can always take her to the park, how is she?" I asked knowing I haven't spoken to her or the couple for a while.

"She's doing okay, she's had some meltdowns and some sensory overloads, but she's okay" Carina said as she showed me some pictures of Sirena.

Sirena has been learning Italian on her AAC, which is adorable as she can use it fluently, I want to teach her French some time.

"Harper I'm finished with my consult" Mom said as she came out of the patient room.

Carina left a few minutes ago as she had a patient to see to so I was left to wait for Mom.

"Can we get something to eat, I'm kinda hungry" I said as I craved for coffee and something from the food truck outside.

"Of course, we can go to our favourite spot" Mom said as we both made our way to the food truck destination.
————
"Harper what would you like" Mom said as we arrived at the food truck.
"Coffee and errr cheese fries" I said hoping she would let me have coffee.
"Coffee... Harper you're going to be bouncing off the walls" Mom said with a chuckle.

"Actually most ADHD individuals tend to have opposite reactions to coffee, instead of them having the typical effects of caffeine it makes them crash" I said spurting out the random fact I knew.

"Then even more reason not to give it to you" Mom said chuckling.
"Oh well worth a shot" I said.

Mom ordered the food and we sat at our usual bench and had our meal.
————
"So Harper, the volunteer programme starts tomorrow, why don't we plan what you're going to wear when we get home" Mom said as we made our way over to the car.

"Yeah, I'll probably just wear joggers and a crop top" I said and Mom raised her eyebrow.
"This is like your first job in some way, you have to dress somewhat professional" Mom said with a chuckle.
"It's volunteering I don't think they is a dress code" I said as I stepped into the car.

"I know but at least let me pick out your outfit, I have such an amazing idea" Mom said with a smirk.
"Okayyyyy, but just this once and if I don't like it I'm not wearing it" I said rolling my eyes.
"Okay deal" Mom said as she focused on her driving.
