Waiting for Forever Page #2

what my brother Jimbo thought-

that Mom and Dad

were in that train accident.

[Crash]

Emma- Emma took me outside, and-

and we just sat there for a long time.

[No Audible Dialogue]

Then she whispered something.

Well, the next morning I got up, and...

there was no car there.

And then I knew.

I knew Mom was never gonna

tuck me in again,

that my brother and I were gonna

have to move to Massachusetts...

to live with my aunt and uncle.

And I-

I had to say good-bye to Emma.

[Dorothy Sobbing]

Dorothy, pull over.

Let me drive, sweetheart.

Honey, would it be wrong for me to ask

what it was that she whispered to you?

Not at all.

What she whispered was...

- "They will always be there.

- Oh.

You will always be loved."

Can you believe that,

from a 10-year-old?

And get this.

- [Sobbing]

- She was right.

Oh, my goodness.

- Dorothy.

- What?

I mean it, sweetheart. Pull on over.

You're weaving all over the road.

- Okay. Okay.

- Pull over. Let me drive, sugarplum.

- All right?

- Mm-hmm.

[Dorothy Sobbing]

[Albert] Come on, Dorothy.

[Rings]

[Man] Miranda. Miranda!

I'm getting it. I'm inside now.

- Hello?

- Hey, Mom.

Emma.

We have been on pins and needles, honey.

Where are you?

- [Man] Why didn't she call?

- I missed the connection.

Oh. Her plane has been delayed.

She'll be here tomorrow.

- Is Aaron with you?

- No.

Oh. I'm so disappointed.

- I'm okay, Mom.

- Mm-hmm.

- Aaron's not with her.

- Good. He's a jerk.

Shh, shh.

We watched the show last week.

We loved it.

You were so good. You both were.

Yeah, well, honey, why they canceled it-

we-we just can't figure that out.

Yeah. All right.

How are you? You sound a little-

No, no. I'm- I'm great. I'm fantastic.

Oh.

[Inhales] Oh, I'm so excited.

- Me too.

- Yeah, I guess I'll see you tomorrow.

- Bye. Love you.

- Okay. Me too. Bye.

[Man On Radio] And looking at your

Los Angeles traffic this afternoon,

[Cell Phone Beeping]

Sig Alert on the 405 southbound-

[Miranda] Hello?

Yeah. Hi. Is, uh- Is Emma there?

No. I'm sorry. She's not.

But she should be here soon though.

May I- May I ask who's calling?

[Horn Honks]

- Hey. What's up, Aaron?

- How could you do this?

What?

- Aaron.

- Yeah, Emma told me.

Well, it's not like you

never mess around on Emma!

I went out with her once.

Hey! [Thuds]

[Miranda] May I ask who's calling?

Hello?

Wait, baby.

Okay. Here's our address

and our phone number.

- Put it somewhere safe.

- Okay.

You won't lose it? You won't forget?

Forget? Even if it takes 50 years,

I'm inviting you to the wedding.

Oh! Oh!

[Groans]

- You take care of yourself. You hear me?

- You too.

Bye-bye.

Jimbo.
