The following morning the angels got a phone call at 10am. Tess answered, "Hello", "Oh, Hi, It's Cherilyn. Is Monica or Andrew there?" "Well Andrew is, I'll get him for you now". Tess shouted "Andrew, Cherilyn is on the phone" No reply, "Andrew?" she shouted again. "I'm sorry Cherilyn, I'll get him to call you as soon as I can".
Andrew had been in the shower and hadn't heard Tess calling him. Monica hadn't long left to go shopping, and she didn't have a clue where the store was. She tried to follow the directions Tess had given her, but was still completely lost. Monica looked around and sighed.
"Angelboy, Cherilyn phoned, she wanted to speak to you or Monica" Tess said as she cooked breakfast. "Ok, did she leave her number?" he asked, "yes it's on the paper on the table".
Andrew picked up the phone and dialled the number. Cherilyn answered "Hello, Andrew?" "Yeah it's me" he replied "Claire and James are home" Cherilyn said. Andrew looked confused "Claire and James?" "Oh, Scott 's parents, they want to meet you and Monica". "When?" he asked "today, Scott's funeral is on Friday, can you come?" she asked "I'll have to ask Monica" he replied.
Monica eventually found the store, done the shopping, and was on her way home. Andrew sat opposite Tess, "They want me and Monica to visit Scott's parents today" he explained "And they want us to go to the funeral on Friday, and I don't think Monica will want to go". "No Angelboy, she probably wont" Tess agreed "but you better ask her anyway".
As soon as Monica arrived home, Andrew told her that Cherilyn wanted them to visit Scott's parents "Ok, I'll go" she smiled "And they want us to go to his funeral on Friday" Monica looked at him "it's not that I don't want to go, I just don't think I can, I'm still really upset" she replied.
Andrew put a strand of her hair behind her ear "You can Monica" he assured her "Ok, I'll go" she replied.
Monica unpacked the shopping and then went to get changed. "Angelgirl, I want a word with you" Tess smiled, half laughing, half serious. "What Tess?" "It's about you and Andrew" she replied. Monica looked at Tess and took a deep breath, as Tess continued "Andrew has told me everything, it's Ok, I just want you to know that I'm not annoyed at you or Andrew" Monica looked at her supervisor "You don't mind?" she asked. Tess smiled, "No I don't."
Monica went to get ready to visit Scott's parents. She was trying to decide if she should wear a blue or white top. "Monica, hurry up" shouted Andrew from the living room. Monica grabbed the blue top, put it on, got a hairbrush and hurried into the living room.
"You ready?" Andrew asked "Um...yeah" she replied still trying to do her hair. They got in Tess's car and drove to Claire and James's house.
As they pulled up outside Monica looked at Andrew and said "I don't think I can do this". Andrew replied "They are upset aswell, if you feel like your going to cry, tell me and we'll go outside for a bit, Ok?" Monica nodded and smiled. Andrew pulled her close to him and held her for a few minuets, running his fingers through her hair. "C'mon lets go in" he smiled.
