Title: Rewrite the Stars

Chapter 21

***The Next Day***

(In the afternoon, Sam goes to the hospital for the results since it's been twenty-four hours. Sam goes to the lab and knocks on the door. Brad sees and opens the door, giving her the envelope with the results in it. He tells her he hopes the results are what she wants. She offers a polite smile before walking away. She goes to the waiting area on the Nurses Station floor and opens the results. After reading the results to herself, she curses under her breath and momentarily closes her eyes. She throws the results in the trash can, stuffing it under a pile of papers before leaving the area. What Sam doesn't know is that someone saw her do this and they take the results out of the trash, reading it before putting it in their pocket and walking away...)

***A Bit Later***

(Once school is over for the day, Josslyn's curiosity gets the better of her. She decides to see if there's anything interesting on the recorder on her phone)

Josslyn: (shakes her head) "There probably isn't, but I need to know. The suspense is killing me."

(After pressing 'play', it's silent for about a minute. She almost stops it when she hears voices on it. She grows confused as she wonders whose voices are on it at first, before realizing its Sam and Franco. It sounds innocent at first until Josslyn keeps listening)

(Josslyn's eyes grow wide and her mouth parts at what Sam and Franco are talking about, which had to with their secret about Aiden)

Josslyn: (whispers) "Holy shit. I know mom would kill me for swearing, but..." (sighs deeply) "Oh, Sam, what in God's name have you done? You're in deep shit."

(Josslyn gulps as she didn't know what to do. She didn't know what do with the recording. She listened to the whole recording. Does she delete it? Who does she give it to? She didn't want to give it to the wrong person. After debating for a few minutes, she nods as she knew who to give it to...)


(Elizabeth is doing a little cleaning at home when Franco comes home from work. She offers a smile as she asks how it went. He sighs at the fact that it could've gone better. She stops her cleaning and approaches her hubby)

Liz: "I have a suggestion regarding our financial troubles that I think you'll like."

Franco: (sighs deeply) "Elizabeth, look, I already told you I don't want Jason involved..."

(Elizabeth holds up her hand to silence him before speaking)

Liz: "You've made that perfectly clear. But it doesn't include Jason. Can you please listen?"

Franco: (nods) "Go on."

Liz: "I have two suggestions for you. You made it clear that you don't want Jason to help. Okay, how about this. Besides your current job at the hospital, how about a side job where you tutor kids by helping them paint? The other suggestion is you sell any paintings that you find ambition to paint."

(Elizabeth tilts her head and moves her head a bit to try seeing what Franco is thinking. As he's pondering his thoughts, a smile comes to his face)

Franco: "I like that idea. Thank you for thinking about that." (nods) "I'll start tomorrow."

Liz: "Okay, being that's settled, there's something else we need to talk about."

Franco: "What's that?"

Liz: "We need to talk to the boys about the tension that's been happening at home." (sighs) "It's obvious that they've been hearing it and are nervous to say anything."

Franco: (puzzled) "I wonder why the boys haven't come to us on their own? You'd think they know they could come to us about anything."

Liz: (sighs) "I think it's time we talked about everything. We got everything out on the table."

Franco: "I agree with you. I'll follow your lead."

Liz: (nods & smiles) "When the boys get home from school, we will talk to them."

Franco: (tilts his head) "For what it's worth, babe, I'm sorry for the tension. It was never my intention for any of this."

(Elizabeth nods in response. She privately hopes everything will get worked out)
