Present Day At The Bruce's Mansion
After Micha was done making the bathroom ready for Ivory she had to pick up her sobbing friend from the floor to the bathtub and wondered if she should leave her alone in the bathroom in such a condition. The "ifs" of what could happen if she was left alone in the water, thinking of the betrayal of her friend (Paula) or the past actions of her parents that had changed a soul she genuinely cared for.
Micha took the folder Ivory gave to her a few days back. After she had placed Ivory in the tub she closed the toilet seat and used it as a chair she looked through it for a while and one seemed eye-catchy. I mean there wasn't a picture to the file of that person but his information seemed like one she could live with. She was about to ask Ivory why there isn't any picture of that guy and why he had only his first name there but looking at Ivory's state she wouldn't reply. Somehow the Mystery to the person made her kinda forget her current mode. She decided to find out information about that person herself, she went back into the room and quickly took out her laptop and went back into the bathroom.
Ivory didn't notice anything happening around her, Micha started with her information-digging but got nothing significant they already didn't have.
You would wonder why she won't just tell Jones about that absurd proposal of her father's but the reason was very simple her friend has been through a lot and she wasn't there for him, she would be inconsiderate to just ask him to get married. What if he's in love with someone or has a wife maybe just forgot to tell her or worse what if she tells him and he distances himself from her, she won't lose her friend again. Maybe he'll tell him later when of course the time is right.
"Micha, towel"... Micha handed her the pink towel and asked "do you need help".
"Gosh Micha I'm not 3, I'm awfully sad, confused, depressed and disappointed but I think I can dry myself up " Micha wasn't a funny person but she just wanted to lighten her mood. That statement on the regular would have sounded funny but right now it didn't because after it came tears, more than the ones before.
"I don't know what to say to stop these tears, because when I heard it nothing could stop how I felt, this stupid feeling is mutual but I think if we know the whole truth to this situation we would feel better. I promise I'll make sure our parents say all the facts about this, but whether our parent's actions were that bad or not it doesn't give Paula the right to kill my mom and cripple her mother and for that, she will pay very dearly".
Ivory seemed like she wanted to say something but her lips wouldn't open, it wasn't heeding to her control anymore, she blinked many times to get rid of the tears on her eyes and went inside the room wore her pyjamas very reluctantly and laid on the bed she wasn't sleeping but neither was she thinking. She had cried so much her brain had gone numb.
Whiles, she laid on the bed Micha had a shower and decided to dry Ivory's wet hair that couldn't be dried by the towel, as she dried her hair she massaged her scalp, a little trick she does to herself to help her sleep and it worked. When she fell asleep she dried hers and headed downstairs for a drink, she wasn't going to make this a habit but she needed to take in just a little, okay maybe she's lying she wanted to take as much as she could. She couldn't cry like Ivory, all her emotions are bottled up and she feels like she's going to burst, she just wants to close that bottle cap real tight, she is strong enough to do that. Or at least that's what she believes.
