PRESENT DAY
11 days after the accident
"My darling...how I missed you" says Georgina Rodriguez looking as fabulous as always even when she's not trying, she sits beside me with Mason in toll "it took a while to convince your mother to allow me to see you and this kid.." she stops mid-sentence to hit mason at the back of his head, much to Mase's surprise and he yelled before rubbing the spot before she continues "didn't tell me about anything or I would have dropped everything and rushed out here as soon as I could.."
"Yunno this is child abuse mum.."
"Oh...hush" she says to her son before she turns back to me "can't you see I'm talking to Elly?"
"Pssh..." mason says and receives another hit from his mum and I laugh this time.
I love Georgina's parenting she reminds me of Cookie Lyon.
Mason stands up and sits in another chair, probably figuring out that if he sat close to her he'd get hit even more.
"Bella, you have to wake up! You know the new sports inspired clothing line, that we were talking about, I put it on hold, I knew you would come back- you're the only one that can model it..." she says while smiling down at me "I heard your birthday's coming up and I've already started designing your dress, it's going to be an immaculate but simple white dress, you are going to love it...trust me" she says kissing my cheeks and living the stain of her lipstick.
"Get well soon...Bella."

December, 2016.
"Come on!" Katie says trying to drag me off my bed.
"What's up?"
"It's Christmas, time to open our gifts and go and play outside afterwards..."
"It's too early" I groan into the pillow and turn away from her.
"We always wake up by this time every year to open our gifts"
"Don't you think we've outgrown it...I dunno, we started that tradition when we thought Santa Claus was real...I think we know dad's Santa Claus now..."
"Oh..."my sister says before quietly leaving my room.
I have been feeling a little depressed lately because I was feeling a little guilty ..okay a lot guilty- I know by January I'll be off with Jayden to wherever and I won't see my family and the guilt was eating me alive.
"Hey..." Lola says and bounces on my bed "why are you still here?, aren't you supposed to be off with your sister?" She asks and I turn over to face her.
"I think it's childish, trying to catch my dad while he's putting down the gifts...we never catch him! And running outside in snow too, we could get sick...and opening the gifts can always .."she starts hitting me before I can continue talking.
"It doesn't matter...don't you think your sister knows this..."she says raising her hands "It's one of the rare things that you and your sister have together, I don't take part in it, neither do your parents, it's like sister bonding time, you guys are almost always apart and it's the holidays that bring you together, everyone is here and you've been acting miserable" She says waving her hands up and down and then hitting me again "get off the bed and stop being a jerk to your sister, you don't show up to her events, you barely talk to her anymore now you want to take this away from her!"
She was right...I was a jerk.
I go out to see Katie sitting outside the snow, I seat beside her but she stands up immediately and goes back inside.
I deserved that.

"Do you think I should go on the pill?" I ask Jayden as I'm lying on my bed at my house.
"Why?" he says while texting furiously on his phone.
"Since we're getting married soon I thought I should go on the pill since yunno...I can't get pregnant now..."
"Yeah..." he says and continues typing, I try to take a peek at the screen of his phone but he hastily puts it away when he sees what I'm trying to do "nosy..." he says pulling my nose.
"No pill, I don't trust those things, I don't want you having problems when we finally decide to have a baby..."
"It's safe really, I'll just go off it when I'm ready...."
"It's not a 100% darling, no we'll figure it out, even if I have to use a condom...no pills" he said before pecking me on my lips, standing up from the bed.
"Are you done packing?"
"Sure"
"I can't wait to marry you" he pecks me on the lips "I love you bae"
"Me too."
"No pills!" He says before leaving to go get a drink.
"Sure"
I was already on the pill.
