Ava's POV....
After we signed in and was escorted to meet my grandmother.
"I gotta say, she's in an edgy state so I wouldn't repeat asking her or saying the same thing." One of the nurse said. She was an African American woman, whose super kind and really beautiful.
"Gotcha." Veronica said.
"Alright. Here you guys go." She said.
"Thank you." We said.
"Sure. I'll be right here if you guys need anything." She said.
We walked in and as soon as I saw my grandmother, I felt my heart sank. I haven't seen her in years. Her hair was really long and straight, jet black, her skin was white and pale and she looked a bit skinny. She was wearing a white gown, sitting on the bed staring at floor with her head slightly bent. She looked like an lifeless zombie.
"Hey. Mrs Benson?" Veronica asked confused looking at me.
"I don't think she's gonna answer." I said.
"Hey, its me. Remember I came to see you last time?" Veronica asked and I looked at her.
"When did you visit her?" I asked confused.
"Long story." Veronica said with a nervous laugh. I then rolled my eyes.
"Okay." Was all I responded.
"Call her, say something to her that only she would know its you. It has to be something deep, like a special song or hum or poetry." Veronica said.
"Nana?" I called. My grandmother's head then slightly moved a little.
"Good good! Keep going!" Veronica said.
"How'd you know-" I asked her.
"I do a year of psychology in senior year, high school, in private." She said.
"Nana? Its me. Little angel Ava." I said and Veronica snorted.
"Angel." She said and I rolled my eyes.
"Ava! Ava!" She said looking up at me. Before I knew it she was embracing me into an hug.
"Nana! Grandma!" I said.
"How... why did you not come see me, all those years?" She asked.
"I- grandma, we need your help." I said changing the topic really quickly.
"Who- we?" She asked and my gaze went to Veronica who were on the side of me.
"Hi Mrs Benson, we wanted to ask you, did anyone strange came to visit you, lately?" Veronica asked.
"You! You are a Johnson!" She said shaking up a little.
"Nana!" I called her.
"Mrs Benson! No I- it's fine!" Veronica said.
"Grandma please listen to me!" I said.
"I hate the Johnson! I hate you evil bad people! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" She yelled.
"Grandma!" I yelled trying to calm her down.
"I'm sorry! Mrs Benson please! Listen to me!" Veronica tried saying.
"Get out! GET OUT!" She yelled.
"Please! I'm Veronica Johnson! I came to visit you a while ago! My family were frenemies with yours!" Veronica said.
"Not helping!" I said.
"You evil people! You are hateful and selfish!" My grandmother kept yelling, shaking up the bed.
The doors immediately burst open with two other securities, a doctor and the nurse from before.
"Evil! Bad!" She said.
"We have to sedate her!" The doctor said injecting her.
"I'm sorry." Veronica said. I then quickly walked closer to her.
"A- strange.." She started saying before closing her eyes slowly.
"A strange what? What is it grandma?" I asked.
"Black- Masked. 37819084352-" She then fell asleep.
"What? What's with the numbers?" Veronica asked and I looked at her furiously.
"You girls need to go!" The nurse said and we both looked at each other.
While walking, the nurse started talking to us.
"Ms Ava Benson. Why haven't you come to visit all those years ago? Why come only now?" The nurse asked.
"I just- missed her and wanted- to reunite with my love ones because-" I started and Veronica finished.
"Because lately we've had an troubling incident and lost some of friends." She said. Thanks Veronica.
"Wait- you mean the bombing accident?" The nurse asked.
"Yes, unfortunately its the very one." Veronica said.
"You guys were there?" She asked.
"Yes." I said.
"Oh God. I'm so sorry. If there's anything you girls need, or need to talk, always come to see me alright. Just ask for Reena Chilvaski." She said.
"Thank you Reena." Veronica said.
"In that case. There is something, can you help us with?" I asked.
"Sure, what's that?" She asked.
"Can you give us, like a chance to see my grandmother's belongings? And her medical report?" I asked.
"Oh uhmm... wow! Why?" Reena asked.
"Just want to uh- find a way to help her." I said.
"Okay. I can try to get you to check her belongings. But why would you need her medical report?" Reena asked.
"Just- to see her updated- medical history." I said.
"I'm sorry. I mean, getting you to go through her belongings is against all rules, but I can squeeze in an bribe but her medical report would be impossible. Even if I wanted to help, unfortunately I can't- I'll lose my job." Reena said in a low voice.
"Okay. Well can we come back tomorrow?" Veronica asked.
"Sure. Actually leave your phone numbers, so maybe I can contact one of you all if I get through to it." She said.
We exchange numbers with hers before thanking her and leaving. As we were walking back to the packing lot, Veronica stopped as we were about to reach her car.
"What?" I asked her.
"Heads up!" She said throwing her keys to me.
"Again, what?" I asked.
"I drove all the way here, your turn and also can we stop at Winkey Dinkey? I'll text the others." She said and I just looked at her, as the wind flew through her hair. What the actually hell?!

Veronica's POV
After arriving we met Kaitlyn and Selena at Winkey Dinky.
"Hey guys!" I said.
"Hey." They greeted as we all say down.
"So, who wanna go first?" I asked.
"For this one, we might wanna order somethings to eat." Kaitlyn said, as both me and Ava looked at each other then back in front of us.
