"How do I sound, Eugene? Do I sound like Betty?" "Tsk, you shouldn't be tryin' to sound like that crow."Rich spat and Eugene nudged him. "Be respectful. But he is right Georgia. You shouldn't be tryin' to sound like anybody but yourself."He smiled as usual. "You're right. Let me try it again."I cleared my throat. "Georgia...Georgia..."I heard someone callin' my name and I stopped to look around. That's when we all saw her. "Oh my God." We all ran to her and Rich caught her as she fell. "Mollie? Mollie, can ya hear me?"Rich shook her and I told him to stop. "M-mollie."I thought I was gonna faint. We held her. But Rich kept her close to him. I knew she wasn't gonna make it. We all knew it. The wounds were too severe. She had maybe a few minutes. "G-Georgia. T-T-They g-got me. I'm gonna d-d-die, Georgia." "Shh shh."I coed."It's okay baby. We're all here ya see? You're not alone. It's gonna be alright." I smiled through the painful tears. "That's right Moll. Look, Rich, Georgia, and I are all here. We're goin' nowhere."He shook his head. She slowly smiled. "M-mollie?"Rich spoke up."Y-you, remember when you said I didn't know what line was? Yeah? I-I do. I promise I d-." "I f-forgive you."She caught harshly. Rich cried out how much he loves her. I covered my mouth. "Y'all p-promise a-a-at my funeral you'll have d-daisies. I w-want daisies, t-there my favorite."I squeezed her hand. "Of course! Oh, Mollie!"I sobbed. "It's alright everyone. I-I'm leaving for a little while but I'm not going nowhere."She smiled.

"Georgia I'm so sorry."Marlon held me. "No no, Mollie wouldn't want me to be actin' like this. I know she lookin' down on me." "We'll look w if you need time you don't have to perform and neither will I!" "No Marlon."I pushed away from him."I gotta do this. I need to do this. For Mollie."I sniffed and smiled. "Okay." He grinned and it reminded me of Mollie's big ole smile that she shined all over the city.

"Gather around everyone!"Mrs.O'Hare shouted." Now the performance is in less than a week and I want this running as smooth as butter? Got it?!" "Mrs.O'Hare? I had a favor to ask of you." "Yes yes come on out with it." "The scene in the garden, do u mind if we change the flowers?" "The flowers? Why? To what?" "Daisies. Please."I held her shoulder. She looked real confused and asked me if everything was alright. I gave a hopeful smile and told her all was well.
