3:00 pm .... Carl sat by Mia's bed as he stared at her , she laid calmly there here face as white as snow and her lips very red. It was the first time he was seeing her so calm , and he had the opportunity of taking in her features very closely. Xavier was right he has grown a liking to Mia and it grew deeper after them working together on Hilton's death, but they never really had a deep conversation , except that they almost kissed once. It broke his heart to see that she was this conflicted and he had no idea , she really had gone through a lot , especially with her dad and her brother. Right now he couldn't even start to imagine how she must have been feeling. His mind wandered over to her mother that just died also , he couldn't imagine how she'll feel if she wakes up to that news. This is bad professionally, but what could he do , it was matters of the heart and he couldn't tame it . "You have to survive this Mia " he whispered staring down at her face. "You're a strong w

Ariel said."I need to settle in " she replied."I understand, I understand" she replied and Xavier stepped forwards as he hugged her also."As hard as it is for me to say this Olivia , we'll miss you " He said and she smiled."I for one will miss our squabbles" he said as they disengaged and he stepped back."I know right " she replied with a small laugh."Mama " Michaela called and she squatted to her level "Yes baby " she replied."Come give Mama a hug " she said as she spread her hands out and Michaela stepped in and she wrapped her hands around her body."Mama loves you alrigh

Three weeks later ....Wedding day ....Ariel stood in front of the mirror as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.She had a small sad smile on her face , she wished more than anything for her mom to see her in this gown , but obviously you don't get everything you want , even if you deserve it."Hey sweetheart, that's alright" she heard Xavier's Mom say and she opened he eyes to see her standing behind her .Belinda slowly placed her hands on her shoulders."Today isn't the day to be sad sweetheart, it'll ruin your make up " she said ."You should be happy you get to marry the man you love , I'm sure right now if your mom could see you , she'll be supper proud of you" she said and Ariel nodded slowly."Now don't let those tears drop alright " she said as she passed her a tissue and Ariel nodded with a smile and took it from her."I should be tired even after yesterday's traditional wedding but I'm even more energetic" Ariel said with a smile as Olivia walked up to her."Normal

"Xavier " Rose whispered as she walked up to where he and Miguel were standing and they turned to her."I have no where to stay " she whispered "Where have you been staying prior " Miguel asked as Xavier just stood there staring at her.One could tell that he was still affected by her , maybe or not he still loved her ?! Nobody knows."I came into town when I heard about the wedding, " she whispered."I couldn't believe Xavier will do a thing like that to me , I came to see for myself and it was true " she whispered as she sniffled."I just happened to walk in at the same time with your wife's mother " she said."Okay , we'll book you an hotel " Miguel said ."You can stay with me " Xavier said immediately."Dude ?!" "Have you forgotten about Ariel ?!" Miguel said as he hit his arms."There are plenty of rooms available " he replied ."I promise you wouldn't even know I'm there , I'll be gone before you know it " she said and he nodded."That's alright " Xavier whispered and Miguel

Ariel just closed her eyes tightly as tears dropped from them . Her Mom wasn't someone to keep hammering on things unless she was really hurt.She couldn't even start to imagine how deeply she must have hurt her Mom as she kept insisting on the same thing with tears dropping from her eyes as she talked.Right now she just wanted to smack herself really hard for all she said.She wished she could turn back the hands of time and go back to earlier and maybe gave a different reaction.She wished she could just undo her actions and free her mom of Whatever pain she was feeling right now.She knew it was easy for her mom to say she forgives her but she knew it wouldn't that easy for her to forget."I love you so much Mom" she whispered."I would never want you dead ""If you're dead my life is pretty much over " she said."I sat at your bed everyday praying and crying that you come back to me ""I never want to see you dead Mom " she whispered."It didn't seem like that to me earlier " he
