"What I want the most is for us to be a real family....Let's be a real family." President James Anderson said to Monica further while smiling at her and Moira Anderson.
"Yeah, let's be a real family." Monica said to President James Anderson warmly while smiling at him.
Just as Moira Anderson was about to say something, Mr. Austin White sprung the door of the V.I.P Ward open and walked in with a bright smile on his face.
"Your Excellency, I've finished paying the bills and I've called the secret service to bring the presidential limousines so we can take you back to the White House." Mr. Austin White said to President James Anderson warmly while smiling brightly at him.
"Okay, thanks! Can you please call me the doctor?? I wanna know if it's okay for me to go home right now." President James Anderson said to Mr. Austin White softly while embracing his pillow.
"Yes, Sir!" Mr. Austin White replied President James Anderson warmly before exiting the V.I.P Ward.
"Dad, how are we gonna handle the press that might swarm us like bees as soon as we step out of this hospital??." Monica asked President James Anderson curiously.
"That's why the secret service are gonna be here...They will control the rogue crowd of reporters so don't worry about them." President James Anderson replied Monica softly while smiling at her.
"Well....
"Your Excellency!!' Doctor Modric called excitedly while walking towards President James Anderson alongside Mr. Austin White.
"Doctor Modric!!" President James Anderson called excitedly while smiling at him.
"I'm so glad to see that you are awake, My happiness knows no bounds, Your Excellency." Doctor Modric said to President James Anderson excitedly while smiling brightly at him.
"The feeling is mutual and it's all thanks to your skills as a medical doctor...Hahahaha." President James Anderson replied Doctor Modric warmly while laughing.
"I can see how happy you are that you even Interrupted me from saying what I wanted to say." Moira Anderson said to Doctor Modric warmly while smiling at him.
"Oh My God!! Forgive me, Your Excellency! I had no idea that I interrupted you from saying what you wanted to say." Doctor Modric apologetically said to Moira Anderson while smiling at her.
"Whatever!!" Moira Anderson replied Doctor Modric softly while rolling her eyes.
"Don't mind her, Doctor Modric! Anyway, I called you here because I wanted to know If It's okay for me to go home right now or I need to stay and be watched." President James Anderson said to Doctor Modric warmly while looking at him inquisitively.
"It's very much okay, Your Excellency!! There's absolutely no reason for us to keep you here, Sir." Doctor Modric replied President James Anderson warmly while smiling brightly.
"Okay...Well, that's a relief." President James Anderson said out while smiling.
"The Secret Service are already here with the Presidential limousine, Your Excellency." Mr. Austin White said to President James Anderson warmly while smiling.
"Okay, That's great! Call some over so they can help me pack up." President James Anderson said to Mr. Austin White warmly while taking a deep breath.
"Don't worry about that, Dad! I'll help you pack up...Stuffs to pack aren't much anyway." Monica said to President James Anderson warmly while smiling at him.
"Are you okay with that?? Are you sure you are not gonna need some help??." President James Anderson asked Monica in a worried tone.
"No, Dad! I'm gonna be fine." Monica replied President James Anderson warmly while packing up the things that was brought into the V.I.P Ward by Mr. Austin White.
"(Sighs!!) She's just like an angel now...I've always wanted to see this side of her." President James Anderson said to Moira Anderson and Mr. Austin White emotionally while sighing deeply as he watched Monica leaving the V.I.P Ward with two boxes in her hand.
"Well, Your Excellency, You've got to see the side you desperately wanted to see in your daughter for two years since you became the President so I can say it calls for celebration, right?." Mr. Austin White said to President James Anderson warmly while opening the exit door of the V.I.P Ward for him.
"Yeah, It really calls for celebration, Mr. Austin! When will get back to the White House, I'm gonna hold a dinner feast to celebrate this side of her, Honey what do you think?." President James Anderson said to Mr. Austin White while looking at Moira Anderson Inquisitively as he walked out of the V.I.P Ward with her.
"I think it's gonna be nice...Why ask me??Have you ever listened to my opinions or thought before??." Moira Anderson said to President James Anderson angrily while glaring at him and smacking him on the shoulder.
"Your Excellencies, I think you both should get a room." Mr. Austin White said to President James Anderson and Moira Anderson as he followed them from behind.
After walking and chatting for ten minutes, President James Anderson, Moira Anderson, and Mr. Austin White came out of the entrance door of HELTON MEDICAL CENTER only to get surrounded by army of reporters.
"Mr. President, tell us why you collapsed." A reporter yelled as he struggled to approach President James Anderson who was surrounded by army of reporters.
"Mr. President, care to tell us what's wrong with you??." Another reporter asked President James Anderson In a loud voice as President James Anderson, Moira Anderson, and Mr. Austin White walked towards the presidential limousine that was parked in front of the building of HELTON MEDICAL CENTER with the aid of the Secret Service Officers.
"Mr. President!!!
"Your Excellency!!!
" Mr. President!!!
"Mr. President!!!
"Your Excellency!!!
"Mr. President!!!
"Mr. President!!!
"Your Excellency!!!
"Mr. President!!!
"Mr. President!!!
"Mr. President!!!
"Mr. President!!!
"Mr. President!!!
"Mr. President!!! The reporters kept calling President James Anderson and running after him until he got into the presidential limousine.
"(Sighs!!!) Thank goodness! For a moment I was scared because I thought they were going to pounce on me." President James Anderson said to Moira Anderson and Mr. Austin White as the presidential limousine drove out of the premises of HELTON MEDICAL CENTER.
"Hahahahahaha!! That's the life of someone who is famous." Mr. Austin White replied President James Anderson while laughing softly as the presidential limousine drove through the streets.
"Yeah, You are right, Mr. White!." President James Anderson said to Mr. Austin White excitedly while tapping him on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Mr. Austin White said to President James Anderson excitedly while smiling gratefully at him.
"Monica!!" President James Anderson called out while turning towards Monica Anderson who was pressing her phone.
"Now you are gonna ignore me??." President James Anderson asked Monica sternly while frowning his face because she refused to answer him.
"Anyways, You saw how the reporters surrounded me, right? Are you still interested in being an actress??." President James Anderson asked Monica Anderson who was still pressing her phone in a calmed tone while looking at her inquisitively.
"Dad, You know that's my dream, Don't you??." Monica said to President James Anderson warmly while dropping her phone and looking at him inquisitively.
"Well, One thing I know is that your dream is a nightmare to me." President James Anderson replied Monica grumpily while looking at the window of the presidential limousine.
"What?! How...How...How...can...you...say...
"It's okay!! Let's stop talking about it because I'm happy and I don't wanna get mad...Mr. Austin White, How long am I gonna wait till we get to the airport??...Hit the gas! Step on it!! Drive faster!!!" President James Anderson yelled at Monica In a cold tone while Interrupting her and ordering Mr. Austin White to drive faster.
"So my dream makes you get mad and upset." Monica said to President James Anderson while sobbing.
"Whatever!! Just shut the fuck up, girl! You are pissing me off with this your nagging!! Are you a kid??." President James Anderson angrily yelled at Monica Anderson while using his two palm to block his ears as a sign that he doesn't wanna hear any more word from her.
"Fine, Dad! I won't say anything again." Monica Anderson said to President James Anderson sadly while taking her phone and pressing it again.
"That reminds me, Mr. Austin." President James Anderson said out while turning to him.
"Sir?." Mr. Austin White who was shocked by the way President James Anderson talked to Monica answered nervously.
"Where did you say the Air Force One was packed at??." President James Anderson asked Mr. Austin White curiously while looking at him Inquisitively.
"Yay?." Mr. Austin White asked President James Anderson absent mindedly with shaky lips.
"Are you kidding me right now? I fucking asked you a question and I need answer from you!!!" President James Anderson yelled at Mr. Austin White angrily while glaring daggers at him.
"I wasn't quite paying attention, Your Excellency." Mr. Austin White nervously said to President James Anderson while bowing his head in shame.
"Wow! What a fine job you are doing as my Chief Of Staff!! How can you not pay attention to what I say?? How??!!!" President James Anderson yelled angrily at Mr. Austin White while grabbing his suit.
"Honey, You have to calm down...Mr. Austin! Where is the Air Force One parked at??." Moira Anderson said to President James Anderson softly while holding his hand and caressing it before asking Mr. Austin for the whereabouts of the Air Force One.
"Oh, Your Excellency! Please forgive me for being absent minded...The Air Force One is parked at Memphis International Airport and we are thirty minutes away from the Airport." Mr. Austin White replied Moira Anderson apologetically.
"Fine!! You've never been clumsy at your work before...What happened?? Why where you absent minded??." President James Anderson said to Mr. Austin White warmly while looking at him inquisitively.
"Forgive me, Your Excellency! I dared to resent you in my heart." Mr. Austin White replied President James Anderson with shaky lips while bowing his head in fear.
"Why are you resenting me??." President James Anderson asked Mr. Austin White curiously while looking at him inquisitively.
"Your Excellency, I dare to say It's because of the way you talked to Miss Monica...Give her some slack...She's your daughter, Sir...Her happiness is supposed to be your happiness and her sadness is supposed to be your sadness, Sir...Why are you treating her as if she isn't your flesh and blood?? It's not fair, Sir." Mr. Austin White replied President James Anderson in a firm tone while bowing his head and what he said made Monica to stop pressing her phone and stare at him due to shock. She didn't believe Mr. Austin White would dare talk to her father straightforwardly without fear.
President James Anderson being surprised at the way Mr. Austin White talked to him grabbed the suit of Mr. Austin White and yelled "How dare you coach me on how to handle my child as a parent?? What gave you that right?? How dare you talk to me rudely because of Monica?? How dare you??!!!
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency but I can't stand the way you treat her." Mr. Austin White replied President James Anderson firmly without batting an eye.
"And I can't stand you talking to me like this so shut your smelling mouth up except you wanna get fired when we get to the White House." President James Anderson yelled at Mr. Austin White angrily while punching him hard on the face.
Just as President James was about to say something to Monica, the door of the presidential limousine sprang open.
"What is it now??." President James Anderson yelled at the Secret Service Officers who opened the door of the presidential limousine.
"We are here, Your Excellency." The Secret Service Officer replied President James Anderson respectfully.
"Where??." President James Anderson asked the Secret Service Officer because he couldn't understand what the Secret Service Officer was trying to say to him.
"Your Excellency, We are at Memphis International Airport where the Air Force One is parked at and four of my team members have cleared a part for you." The Secret Service Officer replied President James Anderson respectfully.
"Oh, I see! Thanks." President James Anderson said to the Secret Service Officers when he realized that the Officer was trying to say.
"Let's move out! Mr. Austin lead the way." President James Anderson said out while ordering Mr. Austin White to lead the way.
"This way, Sir." Mr. Austin White said to President James Anderson while leading the way.
"You have to forgive him for his actions today...I guess he just got a little emotional." Moira Anderson said to President James Anderson softly while holding his hand and walking side by side with him towards the run way where the Air Force One was parked at followed by Monica who was looking for Jed with her eyes.
"Why can't I see Jed?? Is he avoiding me??." Monica asked herself while ascending the stairs of the Air Force One.
As soon as she boarded the Air Force One, She walked straight to the conference room with the intention of apologizing to her Dad and Mom because she remembered she promised Theresa that she would be the good daughter her parents desperately wanted.
"What are you doing there standing at the doorpost lost in thought??." President James Anderson asked Monica while snapping his finger in front of her face.
"Oh, Dad! Sorry, I got lost...
"Why are you here??." President James Anderson asked Monica coldly while interrupting her from saying what she wanted to say.
"I...I...I....
"You What??." President James Anderson asked Monica impatiently while interrupting her.
"I came to apologize to you and Mom." Monica replied President James Anderson softly while bowing her head.
"Sit down and fasten your seatbelt first! We are about to take off." President James Anderson said to Monica coldly while gesturing for her to take a seat.
"Yes, Dad." Monica said softly as she sat down and fasten her seatbelt.
As soon as the Air Force One took off, President James Anderson turned to Monica and gave her a look that says "What are you apologizing for."
"I came here to apologize to you and mom because I talked rudely to you when....
"As much as I wanted to stay angry at you...I couldn't because of your amazing speech at Tennessee so be rest assured that I've forgiven you and Mr. Austin White for talking trash and besides, I just recently did surgery so we are going home to celebrate my successful surgery." President James Anderson said to Monica warmly while Interrupting her and smiling brightly at her.
"Thank you, Dad." Monica thanked President James Anderson softly while bowing down respectfully before walking out of the conference room.
"I'm sorry for her disturbance, let's continue what we were discussing before my daughter interrupted." President James Anderson said to his cabinet members warmly while opening his laptop.
Meanwhile, Monica who was seated at her seat, looking at the window of the Air Force One like a lifeless being smiled when she saw Jed standing before her.
"Where were you, Jed?? I've been searching for you?? Do you know how worried I was??." Monica asked Jed weakly while smiling at him.
"Aww, were you really worried about me??." Jed asked Monica as he sat beside her.
"Yes, I was extremely worried...It looked like you just disappeared because no matter how hard I tried to find you among the Secret Service Officers...I couldn't find you." Monica replied Jed warmly while smiling at him.
"I'm so touched right now, Monica...I can't believe you were looking for me....Anyways, I was around but I was busy running errands...You know how our job is." Jed said to Monica warmly while ruffling her hair.
"Your Job is to protect me.' Monica said to Jed like a spoiled child.
"Aww! Look at you acting all spoiled...Do you know that I had to sneak in here just to be with you?? Should I just go back to my post??." Jed said to Monica warmly while looking at her Inquisitively.
"No! No! No! No! Please stay! I won't act spoiled again." Monica replied Jed In a frightened tone while smiling at him.
"Okay, I will stay but you have to tell me the reason you looked lifeless earlier." Jed said to Monica warmly while smiling at her and ruffling her hair.
"Well, I was like that because I fought with my dad." Monica replied Jed softly while staring at him.
"Again?!" Jed yelled in shock while Monica bowed her head.
"Why can't you get along with your dad??." Jed asked Monica softly while looking at her.
"I try my very best to get along with dad and mom but they don't seem to understand me at all...What they think is good for me is what I despise and loath but they just can't see that." Monica replied Jed softly as tears flowed down from her eyes.
"You mean...You becoming an actress instead of our next president, right?." Jed said to Monica softly while looking at her and using his right index finger to clean her tears.
"Yes." Monica replied Jed softly while nodding her head.
"You can't just stay where you are and expect to become an actress...You need to leave where you are right now and go somewhere else where people who wanna be actresses or actors go to...Without doing that...You won't be able to make your dream come true...To actualize your dreams you have to take a step towards it, grab it, and make it your reality." Jed said to Monica softly while giving her an handkerchief since she was sobbing non-stop.
"You think that would work??." Monica asked Jed In tears.
"Have you tried it and it didn't work??." Jed asked Monica softly while smiling at her.
"No, I haven't tried it...I didn't even think of this before." Monica replied Jed softly while smiling as she shed tears.
"So stop crying...It breaks my heart to see you cry." Jed said to Monica softly while smiling at her.
Taking a deep breath, Monica used her handkerchief to clean her tears while Jed just stared at her.
After staring at her for five minutes, He called her and said "Have you even gone to a single audition before??."
"No, I haven't gone to an audition before...The only audition I do is at our Drama Society...Apart from that, I haven't gone for....
"You haven't gone for a single audition and you keep saying you wanna be an actress instead of being a politician?? How?? Do you think staying at the White House would make you an actress?? Huh?? No wonder your dad keep saying you would be the next president because that's the only thing he knows you can do!! Do you think your dad would take your hand to an audition venue and say "Please make my daughter to star in your movie." In your dreams!! Wake up, girl! You have to take a step before whining about your parents!! Do you think it's all the celebrities you see on TV that had the support of parents?? Asshhhtt! Damn it!!" Jed said to Monica angrily while interrupting her from saying what she wanted to say.
"So what you are saying now is that I have to take a step in order for my dream of becoming an actress to come true, right?." Monica asked Jed softly while looking at him inquisitively."
"Yes!! Have I ever lied to you?? You have to take a step and you better be fast about it else you might even lose your right to dream." Jed replied Monica warmly while ruffling her hair before going back to his post, leaving her alone.
"I guess he is right, I have to take a step in order for my dreams to come true." Monica said to herself in a firm tone before placing her earpiece on her ears with the intention of listening to cool and soothing songs as the Air Force One was flying through the clouds, heading towards Washington D.C.
