Friday

It was the next day, Friday. We didn't have group therapy. Morgan and I'd been up for awhile. It was snowing outside. Morgan's nurse was sick, ironically, so Megan had taken over. She popped her head around the edge of the doorway.

"Morgan," she said, "you've visitors."

A group of 9 people walked into the room. 3 guys 3 young women. 2 of the young women were blonde. One had blue eyes and looked about Ruthie's age and the other had blonde fluffy hair, brown eyes and a little girl in her arms, who was also blonde. Another of the women had brown eyes, light brown hair and looked to be my mom's age. She was standing with a man who also had brown hair.

"Hi Missy hi Olivia," Morgan said to the woman and her little girl.

"Hi Morgan," she replied. She noticed me; "hi I'm Missy, Morgan's older sister. This is my daughter, Olivia. She's 3."

"Hi I'm Margo," I told her.

"Hi Margo," the blonde who looked about Ruthie's age said; "I'm Ashley. I model and take ballet."

"Hi."

"Hi Morgan," the woman who looked to be my mom's age said.

"Hi Mom hi Dad," Morgan said; "this is my friend Margo."

"Hi Margo," the woman said; "I'm Mrs. Matthews, Morgan's mom. This is my husband also known as her dad."

"Hi."

We laughed.

"Hey Morgan," an older man with curly brown hair and brown eyes said.

"Hi," the woman standing next to him said.

She had brown eyes and light brown hair.

"Hey," a younger guy with light brown hair and hazel eyes said.

"Hey Morgan howrya?" a guy with dark eyes, a dark goatee and dark hair said.

"Hey Shawn. I'm ok. Sierra's in the room down the hall. Her roommate is Lila; she's very nice but a bit shy. This is my friend Margo. Margo, this is Cory, my older brother; Topanga, his wife; Eric, my oldest brother and Shawn, Sierra's brother and Cory's best friend."

Cory was the one with curly brown hair, Topanga was the woman standing next to him, Eric was the guy with hazel eyes and Shawn was the one with the goatee.

"Hey Margo," Shawn said.

"Hi nice to meet you. We're usually live up in New York but we flew in to see how Morgan was doing. I'm a lawyer," Topanga told me.

"Oh."

Shawn left to go check on Sierra. After awhile, everyone else left.

"I didn't know you had an older sister," I told Morgan.

"Yeah well neither did anyone else up until she called a few weeks ago."

"Oh."

"I used to blonde, like Ashley, Missy and Olivia but then I dyed my hair black permanently."

"Oh."

A short, plump woman with thin black hair in a bun at the nape of her neck and dark eyes came in with a guy about Morgan's age, who had dark green eyes and thin hair reaching to his shoulders that was the same colour as the woman's.

"Hello dear," the woman said.

"Hi Rosemary. This is my friend Margo. Margo, this is Rosemary O'Dell-Boticelli."

"Hi Margo, nice to meet you," the woman said.

"Hi you too."

"Hey Leo," Morgan said to the guy.

"Hey Morgan how are you?" the guy asked.

"Ok."

"I'm Leo, by the way," the guy told me.

"And I'm Margo."

"I know. You just told my mom that."

"Oh so I did."

We laughed.

"Leo's one of my really good friends," Morgan informed me.
