The Johnson's: The Not So Perfect Family

Chapter 13

Brooklyn lays on the floor in her bathroom and cries. She has no idea what she is going to do. Not that what's going to happen to her lover. She doesn't want any trouble to happen to him. Brooklyn does love him. Despite the reasons on how they relationship started.

She cleans herself up. She leaves the bathroom. Monica was listening to her sister for a while. She didn't know why she was crying, but she wanted to know why. Maybe Brooklyn was sad about what happened to their mom. It is hard to deal with. Monica goes down the stairs.

"Hey Brooklyn. Are you okay?" Monica asked her sister.

"I will be. Don't worry." Brooklyn responded.

"I know it's hard to not think about mom. I try not to cry over. It is hard not too. You just got to stay strong." Monica said as she touches Brooklyn shoulder.

"I said I'm okay. Just get ready so we can go see mom and Rose." Brooklyn said.

Monica seriously wanted to know what was wrong with Brooklyn, but she just left it alone. She didn't want to fight anymore. They got ready and jumped in the car and drove to the hospital. Brooklyn hated going to the hospital. It just felt like it was surrounded by death to her. Definitely didn't want her mother and sister there.

They pulled up to the hospital. They asked to see their mother first. They were more worried about her than Rose. They walked in and saw Winter working out on her own. The girls knew their mother determination to get out of there. Winter didn't even notice the girls had came in. Well until Dr. Fellows came in.

"Hey, Winter. Here's your dinner. The girls are here to see you." He puts the tray on the table besides her.

"Thanks. Hey girls! Happy to see you guys. Have you guys seen Rose yet?" Winter said as she got into the bed.

"No. We was waiting to see you first." Monica responded.

"Okay. That's fine. Don't spend too much time in here with me. You guys still have to go home at a certain time. Plus you guys have early practice." Winter voice was stern.

"We know mom. Be home by a certain time. Lock the doors. Make sure everything secure before bed. If something doesn't feel right to call the police immediately." Brooklyn said as she rolled her eyes.

"So, what's your problem today Brooks? You seem to have an attitude." Winter sips on her Lipton peach tea.

"Cause you tell us the same thing every day. We get it already." Brooklyn sat on the chair.

"When do you get out of here?" Monica changed the subject.

"Therapist said if I past all the test on Friday I can leave Monday morning." Winter was happy to hear that news. The smile on her face told it all.

"That's good. Do they know when Rose can come home yet?" Brooklyn said flipping through the magazines.

"A couple weeks after me. She is ready to go." Winter said flipping through the channels.

"We want y'all to come home too. Hate this place." Brooklyn said getting up from the table.

"Okay. You guys go ahead and see Rose. Good night." Winter gave each of the kids a hug before the departed from her.

Winter knew that her kids missed her. She missed them too. This was hard being away from them. One thing she knew that her girls were strong and independent young ladies. Even though she's going through some things, she knew that Rose was going to be strong young woman. Even with the baby. Winter was in a deep thought as she drifted off to sleep.
