On Sasha's last day of work she found out something very interesting. She was at home with her boyfriend Garfield. They were enjoying their day off together with their grandson Randy and his mom Brit. IT was beautiful out so everyone went outside to have a water balloon fight. It lasted for a while. Everyone was getting hungry. Garfield went in to get changed and to find something to eat while the others were still outside. Randy is an outdoor kid and he loves being outside. Unfortunately Brit and Sasha wanted to go in so they talked Randy to go in. They told him he could play with his rainbow friends. So he ran in to get his toys. He sat down to play and as he did the girls went to their rooms to get dry clothes on. Brit came down and sat with Randy to play with him. As Sasha went out to the kitchen to help Garfield with food. He was making baked chicken and mash potatoes and green beans. Sasha was starting to boil the potatoes when she heard Garfield's phone ring. she looked and it was their client Jason. See they are personal care aids. Anyway Jason wanted Garfield to come in and cover for Larry since Larry called off. He was in a different state and lost track of time. Garfield told him he couldn't be in, he would have overtime so Garfield asked Sasha and Sasha said yes she could use the extra hours this week. So Jason put Sasha in to work to cover for Larry. She had to be in for 4 and it was a little after 3. So she wasn't going to be home to eat dinner. She has to head out around 3:30. She went upstairs to get all her stuff around and was ready to head for work. She headed out awhile to be there on time. When she got there Mandy clocked out and Sasha clocked in. Things were going good until Jason start complaining that Garfield couldn't just come in and clock in under Sasha. She was tired of it. He was complaining and nagging on her for over a hour. she told him about himself and he got meaner. He has been like this with her for over a week. The problem is he has a crush on her boyfriend Garfield but he isn't gay so he is not interested in Jason. Jason takes it out on poor Sasha. She thought he used to be a nice guy until he started being rude and talking about her behind her back. He wasn't always like he just recently started that. She had enough of it and she told Jason " you finally dropped your act and showed your true colors fake." She finally saw through his facade and walked out. She called the boss over her client and said she quits. She gave the reason why and that respected and sent someone over as soon as possible since Jason wasn't allowed to be left alone. She left to go home and when she got home her grandson ran up to her and gave her a big hug. Garfield asked her why she was home. she wasn't supposed to be home until that next morning. She explained what happened and told him she quit and left. He respected that and everyone went to their rooms. Jason had another person come in. he was down and upset he didn't know what to say other than hes tired and hes ready for bed. He eventually realized he lost good workers and regretted that he dropped his facade. He went to bed early and didn't talk to anyone for the rest of the night. When he woke his next worker came in. She asked him "why was the boss here Jason". He told her the truth and she looked at him in disbelief. They talked for a while and he got an email informing him that Garfield and Sasha had quit. The lady that was working was complaining because she used to have Jason make sure Sasha and Garfield get Jason out of bed and get him in the wheelchair before she got there so all she had to do was sit on her butt and maybe feed him and give him a dink. She now realized she had to do her job fully. She had him email everyone letting them know the situation. So he did and he was grumpy about it. A few weeks went by and he ended losing all his care aids they didn't want to do the work so everyone quit. He then had to move back home with his parents. The problem with that was they didn't want him back since his dad's health was getting worse. He eventually had to get into a home where he would have to live for the rest of his life. The nurses were mean they didn't even wanna be bothered with it. They just wanted to keep going out for a cigarette. He was starting to regret everything he said and did. He dropped his facade and lost two amazing workers. he blames himself for how his life is going down hill and it all started on that day when he drove Sasha to leave. He then eventually got into contact with them and begged for them to come back to work with him again he was so sorry for everything he did to them. They accepted his apology. they did refuse to come back tho. They found a different job. They were caretakers for a different lady named Layla. she was sweet to them. They wish Jason the best and they find some people they are willing to be care takers for again. They hung up the phone with him and they went back to their lives and he ended up staying in the home regretting everything wishing he could turn back time but he couldn't.
