-Serendipity
Arianna was going through boxes of her mom's stuff, getting rid of things no longer needed and keeping others. Things had been hectic the last few months with her mom's disease getting worse and problems with her husband. Mom was so bad that they'd finally had to put her into a nursing home when they found her trying to start a fire in the stove. She had gone downhill from there. Rachel had moved to New York right after high school to pursue her career on the stag and had become a household name in the several short years before Arianna was born. They'd been living on New York up until Rachel had moved them back to Lima 7 years ago to be "home." She stood up, stretching her legs out from where they'd been cramped from crouching too long in the dusty attic. She picked up another box labeled "Glee" and opened the top. Inside there was a plethora of gold stars, trophies, programs, letters, and several large scrapbooks bursting at the seams with pictures and ribbons. She picked up the top book, moving aside everything else and opened it. It was red and white with "Glee Club" written in white letters. The pretty brunette was curious. Her mom had always been quiet on what happened in high school and her friends before becoming famous. As she opened the book, she saw many pictures of her mom as she looked back then with several people. Arianna recognized Uncle Kurt and Aunt Mercedes, but that was it. She knew those two were her mom's friends, but she hadn't realized that they were friends from so long ago. They never talked about the past with her. She didn't even know who her father was. Rachel raised her on her own, despite being a Broadway star and to Arianna it had never really mattered who her father had been. Uncle Kurt was always fun to be around and Aunt Mercedes could always be counted on to turn a bad mood into a good one. They were her family. She turned pages, seeing gold stars everywhere, little snippets of conversation. Her mom had always been good as writing things down. There were pictures of her mom by herself, with large groups and several with different boys. Each part of the book was divided into sections labeled with a tab. Arianna smiled, her mom had always been a neat organized freak. She had long stopped trying to tell her that she needed to let loose sometimes. Setting the book aside, she started pulling out some of the loose pictures. They looked like someone had had a wobbly hand when taking them. They seemed to be of various people on a plane, in the woods, at a beach, and several other places that Arianna couldn't define. She saw Uncle Kurt and Aunt Mercedes in several of the pictures so she had to assume that the rest of the people were people in Rachel's Glee club. She ignored the letters in the box, not deeming them not important enough to look at. Near the bottom of the box, she found a smaller box labeled "Performances." She opened it up and found a fair amount of DVD's and CD's with different names and dates written in sharpie on them. Arianna was curious. As far as she knew, her mom didn't have any records of herself from earlier years. Sure, she had her recent recordings, but nothing before 2015. Arianna was curious to see what her mother's voice sounded like when she was younger. She set the smaller box aside and put everything back into the box. Instead of putting the box in one of several piles, she had a thought. Maybe her mom would like to look at this stuff. Goodness knows her mom hadn't much else to occupy her time and Arianna thought it might shake her out of her perpetual gloom and depression. She smiled and carrying the box, slowly made her way down the ladder from the attic. Her mom sure was going to be in for a treat.
