Jackson had balked at.  Queenie had quickly told him, “Jackson, I don’t tell you how to be an ass, don’t you tell me how to spend my money,” which had stopped all conversation.
    Sigh . “Granny, there are so many things running through my head every day, it feels like a hurricane,” Shelby said looking at the ceiling holding back tears.
    “So start from the beginning and we will go from there ,” Queenie said lovingly.
    “I keep feeling like there is something I don’t know about the night of my accident, that no one will tell me about because of the repressed memories thing where I need to remember things on my own rather than have people tell me what happened. Then Daddy has been here almost every day trying to see me. I am not ready to forgive him , Granny, not yet. If I am not at least walking with a cane before I leave here, I will have to move into the house with Momma and Daddy again.  My biological mother is trying to get to know me but there are so many things I want to say to her that are NOT nice. Savannah is even more of a hell bitch now that all of Daddy’s indiscretions are out. Greyson, well I have not seen my brother in weeks and he does not answer my calls and last but certainly not least, I love Logan. I am woman enough to admit that. I love him, but I do not think that he can be the man that I need. If this accident has taught me one thing is that I do not have to settle for someone that cannot love ALL of me; money and all,” Shelby said shaking her head.
    Queenie leaned into Shelby kissing the top of her head. “ Well, that was more than a mouthful! When I said ‘start from the beginning’ I did not mean go from beginning to end in seconds, sugar plum,” Queenie said chuckling to herself. “Baby girl, I am still angry at your father for the disgrace that he has made of this family, not so much of the Beasley name but of the name ‘father’. But you know what, baby, keeping that on your heart will only hurt you. Parents make mistakes, baby, children do not come with a manual and we do not stop being people because we have become parents.” Lifting Shelby’s chin to force her to look into her eyes, she said, “Baby, while your father is a special kind of stupid, he is still your daddy and he has loved you in his own ridiculous way his whole life. Find forgiveness in your heart, baby girl, not for your father’s sake but for yours.”
    Shelby reached up and wrapped her arms around Queenie ’s neck hugging her tightly. “I do not know what I would do without you Granny.”
    S miling and patting Shelby’s back, Queenie said, “Well, it’s a good thing you will never have to find out, because in case you did not know; Diva’s live forever.” They both laughed and continued to embrace. What neither of them had noticed is that Logan had come back because Cassidy had gotten an emergency call and had to leave.  He was standing where he could hear every word they said but not be seen by the ladies.  ‘She loves me.’ he was thinking astounded, terrified and ecstatic all at the same time at hearing those words out of Shelby’s mouth. ‘She truly loves me’ and knowing that made Logan more determined to prove to Shelby that she could trust him with every piece of her including her heart.
     
     

 
    CHAPTER FOUR
    Shelby was standing in her room packing up the last of her stuff to go home. She had been walking on her own with a cane now for two weeks and she was so relieved that she did not have to go and stay at her parents, although she had been shocked at how saddened her mother had been that she would be able to go home. 
    “Well , I am so glad that you are healing so well, baby girl,” she had said the day the doctor had told them Shelby could go home and care for herself.
    “Then why do you look so disappointed , Momma?”   She had said to her mother.  Shelby and Sarah spent every afternoon together now talking and getting to really know each other. Initially,
