This is a new Shannen story by Lindsay and I. Here's some of it. It's about Sarah and Megan Solomon and what its like for them being in the spotlight.
Shannen Doherty was a busy woman, juggling a job and two kids, Sarah, 3 and Megan, 1. Rick and Shannen are separated; he gets Megan and Sarah on the weekend. Tom and Rosa offered to watch their granddaughters while Shannen worked. Seeing as the girls were babies, they had no idea about the hard time their mother had on the set. Sarah’s pre-school teachers are not allowed to even talk about Shannen and what goes on in the media. The teachers agreed that it would upset Sarah.
Sarah was sitting on the floor, looking at the books on the floor when a kid walks up to her. “ You’re mommy is a jerk!†He yelled at her. “ No, she’s not!†Sarah stood up. “ Don’t say that!†She added. “ She doesn’t know how to be nice to others!†He told her, he didn’t care if he hurts her feeling.
“ Stop saying that!†Sarah began to cry. “ Oh, lookie, Sarah is crying cause she can’t face the fact that her mommy is bad stupid idiot!†He told her as she ran to the other side of the room. A teacher walked over to the boy and scolded him and put him in time out. Then she walked up to Sarah and hugged her. “ Honey, no one hates you’re mommy.†She honestly told her, but Sarah wasn’t sure if she meant it. “ Everyone hates her.†She cried to her teacher. “ No, Sarah. No, that’s not true.†She told her. “ Then why are they being mean to her?†“ Honey.†The teacher took her hand and they walked over to the chair. She sat Sarah on her lap. “ People…when they don’t understand who you’re mother is, they tend to make stuff up. And when they make stuff up, Sarah. That’s called “ Trashy†news.†“ They sale bad magazines?†Sarah asked. “ Yes, Sweetie, they do.†The teacher told her.
“ It’s called tabloids.†She added. “ So no one hates my mommy?†She looks at her teacher. She was still crying. “ No, no. You’re mommy is one of my favorite actress.†The teacher told her and the child’s eyes widen open.
“ Yes. It was on Father Murphy in 1981. And do you know that you and Megan looked so much like your mom when she was a little girl?†The teacher smiled at her. “ Really?†Sarah jumped off her teacher’s lap and looked at her. “ Yes. When I see your mom here or on TV, I don’t think about what the media says about her. I’m more interested in her acting and how good she is.†The teacher told her. “ Now, don’t worry about what other people think of her here. She’s yours and Megan’s mother and that will never change, Sweetie.†The teacher smiled at her and so did Sarah. Sarah went to her desk and read.
Later on that night, Sarah told Shannen what happened. Shannen, Megan and Sarah were on the bed, Shannen were reading to her daughters a bedtime story. “ Honey, you just have to ignore them. “ It’s hard, Mommy.†Sarah told her. “ I know it its.†Shannen told her and they hugged. She continued to read to them. Later, she put Megan to sleep and then went back to Sarah. “ I wish I can go to work with you.†Sarah told her mother. “ You can’t, Sweetie. When you and Megan are older, I’ll let you.†Shannen kissed her daughter good night and shut the light and left the room.
2 years later, Megan is 3 and Sarah is 5. Shannen is still doing Beverly Hills, 90210. It was Saturday Morning, She went downstairs and into the kitchen to make herself some cappuccino before her daughters, Sarah and Megan woke up. She sat on the couch in the living room and turned on the TV and the news came on. “ Reports that Shannen Doherty star of Beverly Hills, 90210 was caught driving drunk, have recently come up. Onlookers say she was leaving the club last Saturday Night and was heavily intoxicated. Her two daughters, Sarah and Megan were at their father, Rick Solomon that weekend.†The story then ended. Rage and anger filled Shannen’s body. She stood up, shut the TV and threw the remote on the couch. “ I was AT there Christmas Program last Saturday Night! The stupid things people make up.†She walks into the kitchen and put her mug in the dishwasher. “ They can talk about me all they want, but when it comes to my daughters, that CERTAINLY OUT of the question!†The phone rang and she answered it. “ Are you okay, honey?†Rosa voice beamed over the phone. “ No, Mom. I’m not.†Shannen walks to her daughter’s room, peeked in and then close the door. “ Shannen, they can write about you all they want. Let them! Mom, I’m tired of there endless garbage about me.†Shannen told her mother as she walks into her room and sat on the bed. She could hear a door opening up and sees Sarah running up to her. “ Mommy?†Sarah sat besides her mother. Shannen kissed the top of her daughter’s head. “ Morning, baby.†She smiled. “ How’s Sarah and Megan?†Tom cut in. “ Fine, Daddy. They are just fine.†Shannen looked at her daughter. “ Grandpa says hi.†“ Hi, Grandpa. I love you.†Sarah told her grandfather. “ I love you too, princess.†Tom told her.†Mommy!†Megan ran up to them. “ One thing I won’t let them do, Daddy and that’s too talk about my kids.†“ Of course. Honey, don’t worry. They’ll get a new hobby soon.†Tom told her. “ Thanks. I have to go. I promised my girls that I’ll take them to the park and such.†Shannen told her parents and they hung up.
After Shannen and the girls had breakfast, got dressed and took care of the animals, they left for the day. It was a beautiful Saturday morning. When they arrived at the park, there were swarm of reporters waiting to talk to Shannen and take pictures of her, Megan and Sarah. “ Mommy, why are they here?†Megan point to the reporters. “ They are just mean people, Meg. They just want to hurt our mom.†Sarah told her baby sister. “ But why, Sarah?†Megan asked as Sarah knelt down to her level. “ I don’t know why. They think Mommy did stuff. They are not true, okay. So.. we have to tune them out.†“ How, Sarah?†“ Don’t listen to them. Ignore them.†Sarah told her. “ I’ll try, but it’s hard.†Meg told her sister.
