The Daughters: Adopted by Renée Elise Goldsberry and Daveed Diggs

How things are handled in the Goldsberry household

Nicole's POV
I am in my room, laying on my bed trying to stop my tears. I shouldn't be crying over this but then again, this is the part of the month where I am more emotional than others. I hear a knock on my door and I'm too lazy to get up and get it. "Nicole, sweetie, can we come in?" It's Alexis. "Go away!" I almost yell, still trying to keep up tears. "Your mother and I want to talk to you." He says. I don't answer and turn on my side. I hear the door to my room open. "Nicole, I am so sorry I overreacted." Renée says, coming over to the side of my bed. "We just want to talk to you about it." Alexis says. "Go away." I say again. Renée grabs my hands, while I try to pull away. She clings on to them and pulls me till I am sitting up. Her and Alexis sit on the edge of the bed, right across from where I am siting. Renée takes her hand and pushes my hair to the side of my face. "Honey, were you crying?" She asks. I nod. "Okay. I think I know why. I was a little emotional today too." She says. I smile a little. "Anyways, Nicole, we might get a little bit steamed when something first happens, but, we will always try to calm down before we try to talk to you about it." Alexis starts. "That's correct. Nicole, your a good kid. You just have to watch what you say sometimes." Renée says. "Yeah, it's not polite to say that to adults." Alexis says. "But mom does." I say. "Lin has corrupted her." Mom says. I laugh. "Just try to watch your language." Dad says. "Okay." I say. "Okay." They say. They leave, and then seconds later, Renée comes back with a chocolate bar and Mean Girls in hand. "I figured me and you could just talk about your feelings and watch some cheesy teen movies." Renée says. "I'm sorry I got upset mom." I say. "It's totally understandable honey." She says. "No. It's not. Something's wrong with me mentally and I don't know what. Everyone at my old school and probably everyone here too hates me. I have Panic attacks sometimes. To make that worse, I have a fear of failure, a fear of not being good enough, and a fear of the Hamilton cast hating me. To top that off, Mandy probably hates me and so do you!" I scream, curling up into a ball and crying. "Hija. Your okay, No one hates you." Renée says, trying to pat me on the back.
Renée's POV
Then, I hear Nicole start freaking out. "Nicole?" I ask. No response but screaming. "Nicole?" I ask again. Still no response. "Alexis! Come in here please!" I yell, starting to cry a little. "Renée, What is it?" He asks. "What's going on with Nicole?" I ask, stifling past tears. "She's having a Panic attack." Alexis says. "Oh my goodness. What do I do?" I ask. "Just help me help her." Alexis says and he does everything he can to get her out of the attack. A few minutes later, we get Nicole back from the attack. "Mom?" She asks. "I love you. I am here for you whenever you need it." I say. "I love you too." She says. "Renée, you need to take her and get her mentally evaluated this weekend." Alexis says. "Okay, I will." I say.
