"So I see you got yourself... your very first scandal!" Jeffery cheers, we're filming a video right now, and he's doing drag makeup on me
"Man, it's really got me down, but I didn't want to be petty and respond on Twitter"
"So respond on here girl!" He laughs
"I don't want to make the situation worse then it is" I shrug "But I do want my fans to know that they are just as much of an important part of the band as each member" Jeffery nods "There wouldn't be a band without them, and I literally want to cry sometimes, just thinking about how lucky I am, and I am beyond grateful. Without feeding the problem or responding to the person, I just don't want to be seen as the person I am being portrayed as"
"Yeah" he nods
"I'm also going through a fucking horrible time right now, I'm having such bad issues with my family. We all used to be so close and now I don't really know where to call home" I laugh "Besides for the place I have bought and have now"
"Speaking of sis, when are you gonna invite me over?"
"Tomorrow?" I smile "I feel like you won't be mad at it"
"Is it Jeffery stars approved?" He looks into the camera so we both laugh
My eyebrows are glued down, and the whole ass nine yards! "I wouldn't go out in public like this... but I'm not mad at it"
"I think she's doing well!"
After the video, we go down stairs and absolutely pig out. We eat a bunch of frosting, Oreos, and sweets, and me and Jeffery talk about our tattoos together. I show him and Nate pictures of my house, and they're low key impressed. We play pinball, watch movies, and hangout for hella long, then just before I'm about to leave, I get a call... from my mom.
"What do you want mom?" I answer annoyed
"Hi, this is Dianne, calling about your mother Cindy. She said it was a better bet to call from her phone; where you'd recognize the caller ID. I'm here in Kaiser, San Leandro, with your mother. You are aware of your mother medical condition lupus right?"
My eyes widen, "Y-Yeah?"
"It's common with lupus patients, especially around forty, to fifty, that they'll die, because their hearts will just stop. So we wanted to inform you that she has a heart attach this morning, and will be hospitalized to try to- Uh, regulate her heart-"
"Wait wait, Hearst attach? Is she okay?" My eyes starts to water
"She will be, she's stable and conscious, but it was quite a scare. She's going to have to stop smoking, but because of her lupus situation, she might be feeling and actually be completely fine, but have another heart attack, so someone might need to watch her"
"I-I live I-in Los Angeles, b-but I'll t-take the first plane out t-to San Fran" a year streams down my face
"Okay" she says cheerfully "Thank you, and sorry for your situation"
I hangup right then in there, then just take a few deep breaths, "Honey, what's wrong?"
I turn towards Jeffery and Nate who are shocked, and let out a few sobs before Jeffery hugs me. I try so hard to hold it back, then just choke, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I just need to leave"
"Wait- you cant drive like this" Jeffery shakes his head so I cover my eyes
"Where do you need to go, I'll take you"
"No no, I'm okay really" I lie, and so he looks at Nate for help
"Jeff can drive you in your car and I'll follow behind so we can both go home"
