There Can Only Be One

Melissa's POV

The next morning I woke up to the room full of the smoke and I was feeling so much better. I was in a better mood but I still have to take it easy still. I turned it off and opened the window so it travels outside. I grabbed my robe that came with this and put my slippers on. I walked down and Trudy was so happy to see me. 

Melissa- Hi I know I'm sorry. K stay down 

Beth- You seem to be doing better today 

Melissa- yeah I let the nebulizer running last night so I could actually sleep

Beth- Thats good hun. Want to give me a hand in the kitchen 

Melissa- I can help but if I get caught dead carrying any of it I'm going to be in a bit of trouble 

Beth- Its not like your going to be carrying Gabby around 

Melissa- I know its your son so but I will be happy to help 

Beth- Great 

I started to give her a hand around the kitchen. I missed this so much because when we would have big fancy breakfasts like this someone would come and make it for us since I never had time for it. I tried to do it on multiple occasions but something always came up so it fell through. 

Melissa- God you don't understand how much I missed making big fancy breakfasts 

Beth- You didn't when you were LA

Melissa- I hate to admit it but I had someone come and do it for us. I paid them very well and when they had personal things going on I was very understanding. Beth I felt so guilty that sometimes I would ask Daniel what would Karen and Daren think of me now

Beth- You thought of them 

Melissa- Sadly one day I had to send them home and I canceled all my plans just to make something small because I heard their voices telling me how snobby I became. Like my assistant was trying to do college online and work for me

Beth- Oh yeah what are you going to do about her

Melissa- Well her and Ash hit it off pretty well and they are close friends. I told her that I quit my job and I'm setting her loose to finish college because she's really passionate about what she wants to do and if she ever need a job again then she can let me know but right now I don't need anyone

Beth- Was she upset

Melissa- Not really she was sorta pushed into this job by my manager and Chloe was pissed when I set her loose 

Beth- Why

Melissa- Because she thought she didn't deserve to but she's just a kid and when I look at her I see Ash. She's just trying to get her dream job and I hope she gets there because she's a smart kid. Beth the only person out of my friends doesn't know about my past

Beth- Who's that

Melissa- Alyssa 

Beth- Why's that

Melissa- I can never find the time and my past isn't something to be happy about but honestly if wasn't for the serpents existing and the twins I would have no hope 

Alyssa- Are you scared to tell me 

Melissa- Oh no I'm not its just whenever I want to its not the right time 

Alyssa- Is ever the right time

Melissa- Yeah good point

Alyssa- As what it seems like its not an easy topic
