VERONICA'S CHALLENGE

Veronica's parents and her sister, they would like to see her for a few minutes," Trevor told her.

"Sure I'll take them in," she said.

They all walked into Veronica's room.

I'll leave you alone, I'm going home for a while, I'll be back later," Tess told them.

"Oh my dear dear girl, her mom said. She kissed her on the cheek and whispered, I love you to her.

Veronica must have heard. "Mom is that you?" she asked.

"Yes dear, and dad and Melissa too," she told her.

"What a way to get some attention," Veronica told them.

"Well we are all here for you," her mom told her.

"Dad you are not saying much," Veronica said.

I'm here," he told her. He walked closer to the bed.

"I must look a sight with these bandages all over me," she said.

"Soon they will be off," he told her.

"Where's Trevor?" she asked.

"He went to get some air, he was here all night," her mom said.

"Well, I'm sorry I caused so much trouble for everyone," she told them.

"You'll be better soon Ronnie," Melissa told her.

"Yes I will don't worry sweetie," she told her sister.

"We will let you rest a little more, then we will come back in an hour or so, okay dear," her mom said.

"I'll be here," Veronica said.

They all kissed her goodbye, then walked out of the room. Trevor was waiting by the door for them.
