Hello The Maura we know
Maura woke up the next day and got dressed in her usual fancy attire.
"You know not everyday do you have to look like a super model," Jane teases.
"Jane, this is my casual wear," Maura informs.
"Maura! Your turtle is trying to eat my toes!" Jane yells to Maura.
"Tortoise," Maura corrects.
"I'm happy your back Maur," Jane giggles.
"I'm happy you remember me," Maura informs with a smile.
"I'm happy I remember you too Maura. Guess what day it is?"
"It's Sunday Jane, and you know I don't guess," Maura reminds.
"And Sundays are?" Jane pushes.
"Family dinner night! Call your mom, Tommy, Frankie, and Frost. I'll call Hope, and Korsak and then get started on making dinner." Jane nods and chuckles at her friend's ability to get excited so easily.
Later that evening.
"Angela, can you please watch the soup while I answer the door?" Maura asks walking towards the door. Angela nods.
Hannah.
"Hello Hannah, what are you doing here?" Maura asks politely.
"Maursy, I'm here because you never called me and I as worried about you!" Maura notices some reporters standing around. Taking some pictures of her and Hannah. Same old Hannah, always wanting attention and the spotlight. Maura sighs.
"Please come in Hannah," Maura offers, hoping she'll say no thanks.
"That's very kind of you Maura. I shall accept your offer," Hannah steps into Maura's house. "Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to text Lilly and Jacey, they want to see how your doing too," Hannah walks into Maura's living room and plops on the couch to text.
"Hannah, I don't wish for a lot of company tonight. I'm having family over for dinner, other than that I'd like a relaxing day," Maura informs.
"Oh! Lovely! May we join you for dinner?" Hannah invites herself in.
"Yes," Maura sighs. She refuses to be a bad hostess.
Jane notices Maura is taking longer than normal to answer the door so she walks over the Maura. "Maur, what's taking-" Jane glares at Hannah seeing the sadness in Maura's eyes.
"You should leave," Jane growls, "Maura doesn't need a jerk and bully at her house."
"Maursy said I could stay," Hannah informs.
"She was just being a nice person. Now leave before I make you." Hannah shrugs as the doorbell rings. Lilly and Jacey soon enter the living room. All blood drains from Maura's face. Jane walks over to Maura.
"You three need to leave. The dinner is cancelled." Jane starts to massage Maura's back, trying to calm her.
"Muarsy invited us, well be staying." Jacey voices.
"Can you let us talk with Maursy please, alone?" Lilly asks. Jane looks to Maura. Maura looks from her high school bullies then back to Jane before nodding.
Jane hesitates before leaving the room.
"What do you three want?" Maura asks politely.
"Well you're all but famous right now and we want in," Hannah starts.
"All of the reporters want to talk to you," Jacey continues.
"So, we'll be your 'friends' and tell things to the reporters to get famous too!" Lilly finishes.
"No," Maura says.
"Maura-the-bora, " Lilly chimes in.
"Don't be stupid Maura. We'll be staying if you want us to our not," Hannah informs. Jacey, Hannah, and Lilly stand up. Hannah is the first to walk over to Maura and shove her off the couch. Jacey then kicks Maura, before Lilly leans over and slaps Maura's cheek.
The three leave as Maura lays stunned on the floor. Tears fall from Maura's eyes.
Why does everyone hate me.
