What comes next {Faberrittana} [Sequel to Why?] (Completed)

Chapter 16

-Cassandra pov-
I've been living with my girlfriends family for a few weeks now. It's been great just...well I have something I wasn't ready for. Like actually having people care about you.

I couldn't tell you the last time someone took care of me when sick. I felt so bad for getting Judy sick after but they said it was fine and we helped her out. IT IS A CIRCLE OF HEPING! Everyone helped everyone!

It was amazing to be apart of. Now life is going back down for me. My mom is in the city for the dance competition. My mom has never really been involved in my life too much.

She always would be out late and leaving me with my aunt. My aunt was more of a mom than my mom. We never had much that wasn't borrowed from my mom. It absolutely sucked!

Now I'm looking around trying to be careful. I don't wanna see her and I don't want her to ruin what I have going! She's a snake in the grass and I hate her so much. I just wish she'd stop visiting me.

"Cass the girls are wanting to practice" I turn toward Shelby and nod "Come on!"

I follow her to the girls and look at the time. She hasn't shown up and we are getting closer to the beginning. Maybe I'm getting my wish! Maybe she really isn't going to show.

-Time skip-
It's time for the competition to begin and we are clear! She's no where near me! This is the best day ever!...so why do I feel guilty? She always comes on this day.

I look out at the crowd and see her seat is empty. She always buys the same ticket and the people have saved it. I've helped Brody gets some spots in this competition. She always is sitting the same spot.

"You ok?" I turn toward a worried looking Emma "You look tense"

"Yeah" I look back to the crowd and then Emma "Let's go to the girls and get ready"

-Time skip-
It's time for the girls to do their dance sets. It starts with Rachel, goes to tango with Britt and Santana, and finishes with Pamela leading the others. I tap Rachel's shoulder and she steps out.

She does her slow dance around and creates the transition. Brittany and Santana tango onto the stage as the music picks up. Once the music moves again the rest of the group heads out. The crowd claps and I smile.

I lose it when I look out again. The chair is still empty. There's no one sitting in it. I look around just in case and she's not there. I sigh and walk to the green room with the girls.

I stop once through the door. On a table is a vase with flowers in it. They aren't the best but they are flowers. I walk over and grab the card. I feel tears start to form as I read.

'I know you don't wanna see me so I'm not going to push myself on you. I'm so happy you've gotten to finally teach and be who you wanna be! You're such a good girl! You've always been a good girl.

I never did apologize for all the things I missed. When your dad left I had to do so many jobs. We never had enough money but I worked all I needed to for you. Your clothes never were the best but I wanted to give you what I could.

Your aunt always told me what you wanted so I could try my best. So I'm sorry I was never there for you growing up. I thought I could make up for it but I guess I'm too late.

I love you baby girl,
Mom'

"Cass?" I feel Maribels hand on my shoulder "You ok?"

"I gotta find her" I run out of the room and look at everyone I run past "MOM!"

I run around until I end up outside. I look around out of breath. My mom is gone now. She left and it's my fault. I did this.
