A story about Monica

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Monica* and she was having a fantastic day at her job. She works at a law office, lets call it Dewey, Chetum & Howe, LLP, her boss, Adam, was being a pain in her you know what. But yet she was ok with it because she knew that in a couple of hours, he would leave and she would finally have peace and quiet to finish her work.

Finally, 6:30pm rolls around and Monica is getting herself ready to go. Its raining ice outside but it wasn't too horrible, there was traffic on the beltway but her friend Moolises called, (I think he's middle eastern with a name like that) and time flew by. She finally got to her meeting, it was very uplifting and gave Monica a lot of encouragement. Even though there were some kids there that she wished were her own so she could smack them because they were behaving so badly.

Monica then says hello to everyone at the end of the meeting and stayed talking with 2 sisters for a while. One sister just became a grandma again and was telling her the story about how her son Abraham just had a baby and was over the moon about it. Monica then decides its time for her to go because it was getting late and she was tired.

Monica pulls out her umbrella, throws her bag over her shoulder and walks outside to her car and all of a sudden starts sliding on the asphalt. Next thing you know, her knee hits the ground and she falls on her side. Alone, wet and bursting in laughter, she realizes how silly she looks on the ground and gets up to start walking. An incredible pain shoots up her leg and she feels this huge bump growing on her knee. Her stocking ripped and she was bleeding. She then realized that it wasn't that funny and it was hurting more and more. On her way home she's getting all these messages and phone calls about other things but all she can think about is taking her stockings off and putting on some pajamas. Monica tells her mother what happened and her mom really tried not to laugh, she tried her hardest... but to no avail.

Monica feels sad and hurt, not because her mother is laughing, but her falling reminds her of her childhood and how when she would fall, it caused so much pain and resentment. Monica is a big crybaby and requires a lot of attention when she is hurt. Thankfully her wonderful and most awesomest sister rescues her of such sad emotional state. She cleans the cut, applies necessary ointments and bandages her up. She suggests she just prop her leg up on a pillow and rest. Monica becomes overwhelmed with gratitude, not because of that one incident, but because she realizes how much she loves her sister and how, no matter how's she feeling, no matter how bad she's treated, no matter how much attitude and snottiness she has to put up with Monica, she'll give her all to you.

Monica loves her sister soooo much!!!

I wish I knew this girl Monica, I am sure she was so happy she busted her knee after a certain party. And even though it must have been excruciating pain, she was still texting on her phone to another friend about upcoming plans for next week. She's awesome!
