Her Heart

Long Live The King

<David Beckham's Point of View><August 28, 2020> 

          When Elsie had gotten a call from her dad, she excused herself into the other room to answer it. "Hey, dad, what's up? - No, why? - I'm at the Beckham's house. - Okay, okay but you're starting to worry me. - What's wrong? The last time you sounded like this it was when nana passed. - I'm sorry what?" She said, voice slowly dropping ton before she fell silent. "Y-Yeah, I'm here. I can't believe this. - Thanks, dad, it helped somewhat still hard to swallow though. - I know, I'll call if I need to talk. - I love you too. Bye." She said, I gave my son a look he shrugged before we were interrupted by Victoria's gasps. "Oh my gosh! Elsie, are you okay?! What happened?!" She asked, Elsie with tears in her eyes just shook her head going to Brooklyn who pulled her into his arms so she could cry in comfort giving her kisses and smoothing her hair. "Can someone warm up some milk please? It helps her relax." He asked, I nodded and went to fetch her warm milk. I handed it to him, and he held his hands over her hands so she wouldn't spill it on herself as she took small sips. "My dad called to tell me that Chadwick had passed today. Chadwick the actor that played Black Panther." She told us, explaining what her father had told her. It was obvious that his death hurt her a lot, but that she still smiled recounting memories of their friendship to us.

Author Note from NerdyCheese: this is a shorter part because Black Panther was and is by far my favorite action movie. When I heard of Chadwick Boseman's passing it shocked and hurt me and my friend. I know that there are millions other, older and younger, fans who mourned/are still mourning his passing. I just wanted to include this 1) to pay tribute and 2) Elsie would been very close to him and she considers Marvel a second family so it would feel like she was losing a family member hearing the news. I wanted RDJ to be the one to break the news to her because he would understand from both points of being her father and seeing Marvel the same.

May Chadwick Boseman & Stan Lee rest forever in peace with their lost loved ones.
