Rollins Sisters Stick Together
Chapter 1
A week after the unexpected death of Lena Olsen, Amanda Rollins and her sister Kim are at her apartment getting ready to observe an AA meeting. Her fiancé, Declan is with them as he plays with baby Jesse and Frannie. They talk about how the death has affected Amanda and she misses Lena.
"We have an AA meeting to observe with Christina, Bella and Reese." Kim says.
"You guys go to GA meetings." Declan replies.
"Yeah, but we go to observe the AA meetings." Amanda responds.
Amanda and Kim grab their things and they get ready to go to the AA meeting. Amanda sits next to Declan and she kisses his lips. Kim tells her sister that she can make out with Declan later. The girls leave the apartment and they lock the door.
"How long have you been engaged for?" Kim asks.
"Two months. I think I found my soulmate." Amanda replies.
Kim and Amanda get into the car and they go to the AA meeting. A few minutes later, they get to the AA meeting and they see Christina, Bella and Reese waiting for them. They are all observing the AA meeting even though they never go to one. They sit down with each other and they see that Patrick is standing up to tell his story.
"Uh, I'm Patrick. I'm a drug addict." Patrick says.
"Hi, Patrick." The AA members reply.
"I have two days sober. This isn't the first time that I tried to get clean. I had a couple months back. Even had a girlfriend. I know that she came to these meetings. Some of you might have known her. I met her here and she told me every secret." Patrick responds.
Patrick shares his story about Lena and the five women are wondering what he's saying. They clap as he says the truth and he continues his story. Amanda realizes that Patrick is Lena's boyfriend.
"Oh, my God. Patrick. That's Lena's boyfriend." Amanda whispers to the girls.
"I can't live like this anymore. Part of me is scared that I'm going to die and part of me is scared that I'm not. That's all I got." Patrick says.
Patrick goes to sit down at his seat and the sponsor asks who would like to share next. The five women don't know what to think or say about Patrick. They look in shock as they observe the AA meeting. An hour later, the five women leave the meeting and they go to a café for coffee and desserts. Christina drinks her coffee and puts the mug down. Amanda looks furious about what happened at the AA meeting.
"I don't know about the rest of you, but I want to kick the crap out of that guy." Amanda says, angrily.
"Yeah, you can hurt all you want and it still might affect you." Christina replies.
"Excuse me, but I get angry easily." Amanda responds.
"What has Daddy always told us? A lady talks about her feelings instead of hiding from them." Kim reminds Amanda.
The five women talk about how Lena's death happened. Amanda says that she killed herself and overdosed due to depression. They tell Christina that they were at Amanda's apartment when she got the call about Lena.
"Let's not forget. Patrick didn't hold a gun to Lena's head and make her take pills." Bella says.
"Yeah, but he brought pills over to the motel room of someone who was battling with depression." Amanda replies.
The women decide that they should stop talking about the topic about Patrick and Lena. They agree that they should talk about something else. They try to figure out what they should talk about next.
"Let's talk about happy things. Kim, how's it going with your boyfriend?" Reese asks.
"It's going great. He came back from Chicago with gifts for me." Kim replies.
Kim tells the girls that Lorenzo gave her a Chicago T-shirt, snow globe and many more. Amanda is happy that her sister has found a great guy that treats her right and has a job. She realizes that Kim is happy in her relationship. She mentions that Kim saw a Tiffany box in her closet at her apartment. The girls wonder what could be in the box and Kim tells them that she thinks it might be an engagement ring but she doesn't know for sure yet.
