I stumbled into my hotel in the next afternoon, where was I? I don't know. After walking away from Sonya my mind blanked and I have no idea what happened.
"Roni?" A voice called. It was heavy and solid, so I knew someone was in my room.
"Fucking hell, what!" I slammed my door and turned the lights on. "Helen." I swallowed hard.
"And where have you been?" She was talking to me like a mother would talk. "Hitting a women, an elder woman!"
"You don't have the-- wait. You know I hit Sonya. You and Sonya are friends." I panted, the story was soon unfolding.
"Roni don't-"
"NO!" I stopped her. "You got her to butt into my life, you're the reason no one is talking to me."
"Roni listen" she sat down.
"No. No, I won't listen to you. You're ruining my life even though you be never been apart of my life! You left me! You walked away from me!" I screamed and cried.
"Roni sssh" she tried to calm me down but I slapped her hands off me.
"I was only little! You blamed me for dad's death! How could a 8 year old do that? My mother wasn't there for any of my achievements in life, the ups and downs, hell even my period you weren't there!" I walked around the room screaming at her, finding things to throw at her.
"I deserve this." She gulped. "I-I couldn't raise a child by myself, your father was the it parent, he was the know it all. I just gave birth to you, a beautiful baby girl." A tear shred down her face.
"We could've worked this out. You still had gran." I stopped walking. Did she really mean this?
"Why did you abandon me, why did you ruin my life? Why are you still ruining my life?" My hands made fists but I didn't raise them, she wasn't going to get that reaction out of me.
"I came back because I have cancer. I came back to rekindle us, I know I handled it wrong but I didn't want to die and leave us like this."
Cancer. My body eased and the tears now were flowing down my face, this women who hated me, was trying to ruin me is now telling me she wants to rekindle our relationship because she has cancer. Because now her karma has caught up to her she has suddenly realised what a bitch she's been.
"Handled it wrong. You had more than a decade to rekindle, you had every opportunity to rekindle but you didn't. And now you want to? Fuck you Helen!" I scoffed at her and opened the door. "Out."
"Veronica. Please, think about it. Here's my number" she handed over a piece of paper. "I love you and I always have." She slowly left my apartment and I slammed the door shut.
Right then and there I broke down, I crumbled to my knees and howled the room down. How could this be? I was patience my entire life and I lost faith in my mother coming back and she never did. When the year she left every birthday wish was to her to come home, but she never walked in those doors. When gran took me in she protected me for any harm, she taught my a world of love and happiness and ever since she died all I've been shown is hatred. The world isn't what you expect it to be.
After my little cry, I soon realised what I needed to do. I headed downtown to the old hospital I worked at and visited my friend Layla. If the world was going to be horrible we'll I'm at least gonna try to change to it.
"Layla!" I called out.
"Roni! Oh wow! I've missed you!" She came up to hug me.
"Hey hey head nurse, wow" Layla was always the friend who everyone knew would achieve anything.
"What do I owe this visit?" She winked at me.
"I need help. Helen has cancer and I need a doctor or nurse to help" my body shook at the thought of doing this.
"Helen as in your mother. Roni, why are you doing this?" She frowned.
"She is my mother. I don't want apart of it, I want her to have help and leave me the hell alone but I can't have her not getting treatment and dying." I started to cry again.
"Okay, look let me cover this. I'll treat her and we'll get Nate too, he specialises in cancer. Are you sure?" She patted my back.
"I'm sure. Hey you're a great friend." I hugged her tight.
"Are you back in Seattle to stay?" She gave a little smile, I knew she wanted me here. She had a lot hopes in her eyes, if you asked me this question a year ago I'd say yes but now with Zak in Vegas I can't.
"No. I'll be heading back to Vegas soon, I have a great life there." The tears dried up and a smile wiped across my face. "I met a man."
"A man?" She wiggled her brows. "We all heard about Carter and great job moving on. Roni you need to be happy so do whatever you want that makes you happy." She patted me.
"Look I'll let you go umm I'll ring Helen and she'll be here tomorrow morning okay? Thanks a million babe" I kissed her cheek and left the hospital.
I ran to the closet pay phone and dialled Helen's number.
'Hello?'
'Helen it's Roni, we have an appointment tomorrow at the hospital. You're going to have this fixed okay, I'll be there with you.'
'Oh Roni! Thank you'
I just hung up. Apart of me felt weak that I was doing this but I wasn't a horrible person like Helen, but was kind and caring. As I stood in the busy street I realised I'd soon have to talk to Aaron or Zak, I'd have to tell them what's going on and for now I'll be in Seattle.
