This is an alternative version of events from 2004. For my personal amusement, and hopefully yours. We begin our tale shortly after Bianca is released from the hospital. She and Erica had their falling out after Bianca is told about Miranda's "Death."
Secrets and lies Chapter 1
Bianca went to her mother's penthouse. This was not easy, but it had to be done. Bianca knew she couldn't go on if she and her mother remained in this state. Erica was alone, drinking. She was suprised to see her daughter now. Bianca wasn't sure if her mother was happy to see her or not.
Erica: Bianca, what are you doing here?
Bianca: We need to talk.
Erica: Yes. we can move on together.
Bianca: When I took Bess, I came to you. I wanted us all to be a family. I know I was messed up, Miranda is gone. I need to know how you feel about that.
Erica: I wish more than anything that you didn't have to go through this pain.
Bianca: We're not talking about me mom. I need you to be honest. Would you have ever accepted my baby, knowing how she was concieved?
Erica: I don't know. If you want honesty this whole thing could've been avoided if you had the abortion like I advised. Is that what you wanted to hear?
Bianca: Actually, it makes this easier.
Bianca pulled a gun from her purse. Erica was shocked and frightened.
Erica: Have you lost your mind?
Bianca: No. The booze brings out your true self, my grief brings out my true self. You put a curse on y child. Maybe I can get past this grief, but I can't go on knowing that you're live while my baby id dead.
Erica: You'll spend the rest of your life in prison.
Bianca: I have some sleeping pills. Enough that you'll never wake up. You can either take the pills, or take a bullet in the chest. I'll let you write a suicide note, say goodbye to anyone you like. But make no mistake mother you are not leaving this apartment alive.
Erica began writing the note. She stalled and hesitated. Erica hoped Bianca would come to her senses and calm down before she finished. But Erica knew there was a strong possibility that she would die tonight. She had not seen this coming. Erica would not have been suprised if Kendall tried something like this, but not Bianca. Erica's pen ran out of ink. She asked Bianca for permission to get another one. Bianca didn't know that Erica kept a gun in this drawer. Erica knew she had to act quickly, or she would probably die right here. As Erica reached into the drawer she hit Bianca with her other hand. Bianca fell down. Before she could get back up her gun was on the other side of the room, nd Erica was standing over Bianca with this gun.
Bianca: Just get it over with.
Erica: Bianca, I don't want to hurt you. You need help.
Bianca: You think a little stay in Oakhaven will cure me? No doctor can bring back my baby.
Erica: Miranda wouldn't want you to spend your life in prison.
Bianca: I will never forgive you for what happenned to Miranda. Either kill me now or I will kill you one day. So what are you waiting for? Kill me.
Bianca closed her eyes and prepared for death. Maybe this was what she wanted all along, an end to the pain, and hopefully be reunited with Miranda. And soon, Bianca heard the gunshot.
