Morning came just a little to quick
According to Lena. After the incident that took place at 5:00 am this morning, Lena was a tad irritable
From only getting two hours sleep
Lena was up bright and early
Freshly clean and dressed. She's wasn't looking forward for to having another round of chemo, Stef was showering down the hall in one of the empty rooms. Breakfast was an oat bran muffin, strawberry and banana yogurt. Lena just wanted for this day to hurry up and be over, everything was beginning to irritate her nerves
Lena was usually a happy cheerful person. She just waiting for Cameron to come down get her for chemotherapy, Lena was trying to stay calm. Everybody knew Lena was having a hard time, she didn't want to take her frustrations out on anybody intentionally. Lena did the only thing she could to ease her mind, Lena wrote in her journal. This had become her daily routine, she was able to write down her thoughts and feelings
Things she couldn't voice to Stef or her doctors. Cameron came into Lena's room, Good morning Lena how are you feeling today. I was told your being discharged, l was doing some research last night. About these cooling caps that supposed to help
Patients, who are having chemo
People are saying they are excellent
It help hair follicles and prevent hair loss during treatments. I think you will be the perfect candidate, you only have to wear it. For ten minutes a day, when your having your chemo
The down side to this. It probably will make your hair feel numb, but you're get use to it over time. Cameron said
Lena's taking in the information Cameron just presented her, the last thing she wanted was for her hair to start falling out. Cameron do you think it would help, Lena asks
It's worth a shot. I know this is a lot for you to absorb, don't look at Cancer as a death sentence. There are a lot people who have been in your shoes before, and They live happy, healthy lives. it does get better l promise
You, you have a great support system
From what I have seen so far. Cameron explains, Lena's trying to keep her emotions in check. She gets up out of bed, and sits in the wheelchair. Okay I'll like to try the cooling cap, Lena utters. Your making the right decision Lena, Cameron tells
Lena. As Cameron gets the door and wheels Lena out the room and down the hall, towards the elevators
After having a nice hot shower
And getting dressed. Stef made her way back to Lena's room to finish packing up their belongings, Stef knows Lena has left to go have treatments this morning. Once she was done, Stef got all Lena's personal products from out the bathroom and place them in Lena's travel bag. Stef looked around the e- suite to make sure she wasn't leaving anything behind. Stef came out the restroom
Stef unzipped Lena's suitcase and put her cosmetic bags inside. Stef noticed Lena had a photo of the kids and herself, in a small frame. Stef just smile. Stef knew how much there children meant to Lena, Stef zipper the luggage up. Stef grabbed both cases out the room, Stef held her head up high as she walked past the nurses station. Stef wasn't gonna give these women the satisfaction to get under her skin, she stepped on to the elevator. Taking it down to the parking garage, where her car was parked at. The doors open up and she walks off the elevator, she pressed the button on her keys. That unlock all the doors, including the trunk
Stef put the stuff inside the vehicle
She shut the lid down. Got in the car
Stuck the key ignition and started it up, Stef place her cell phone in the holder. She pushed on Abigail's name
The phone began to ring, Stef pulls out the lot. the phone continues to ring, a man voice comes on the line
It sounds nothing like Nathaniel's tone.
Stef: hello may I please speak to Abigail please.
Abigail: can I tell her who's speaking
Stef: tell her it's Stefanie her daughter's wife. It's important that I talked to her,
Abigail: hold please
Stef: Stef waits patiently for Abigail to come to the phone. She can't believe Abigail's having an affair,
Abigail: hi Stefanie what can I do for you. Abigail says
Stef: for one your daughter needs you
You haven't up here since Wednesday
Stef States.
Abigail: Lena's father is there
Beside l don't think my presence is welcome.
Stef: for once in your life Abigail quit being a selfish bitch and think about your daughter for once. She thinks you don't care, l see her struggle daily with this cancer. Have a little bit of compassion, or are you to busy
Screwing around your husband's back to care, Stef States.
Abigail: what l'm doing is no bussiness of yours. I advised you to keep your mouth shut about what you think you know, Abigail said
Stef: you need to get your fucking shit together and think about your daughters health. I don't give a damn who your sleeping with, God for bid
If something happens to Lena you're never be able to forgive yourself

You wanna impress your super rich friends. What about how Lena's feelings, your main concern Lena's illness might cause you to look bad
Abigail: look l have a image to up hold
And l do love my daughter. It just hurts me to see her ill in that state
