The boys went home afterwards so me and Ivy started to put stuff away, "you starting again aren't you" she murmurs putting the rubbish bags by the door.
"What?" I ask her not sure on what she's on about, she looks up at me placing her hands on her hips.
"After you came back from you 10 minute business in the toilet, I saw you eyes Blake you said you'll only do cigarettes" now there's tears forming in both of our eyes, Ivy comes and sits down next to me. "I love you Blake very much I just don't want to let my friend slowly kill yourself" she puts her head on my shoulder. We stay like that for a while, it's about 11pm already.
My phone rings from the kitchen so I get up to answer it, I look down at the phone to see no caller ID from London, I answer the call placing the phone against my ear.
"Hello" I say hoping for an answer.
"Is this Miss Reeds" a women politely says through the phone.
"Ye this is she" I hear someone crying in the background of the phone call "what's going on" I ask.
"I'm so sorry but your mother has died this morning"
"What time" I ask feeling the tears in my eyes.
"Between 8-9 in the morning but because you are in La it would of been yesterday for you" She says, Ivy walks into the kitchen and sees my tears.
"Do you know when the funeral is" I ask hoping for an answer.
"The 1st October so next week"she says, I sigh.
"Thanks for calling" I hang up the call and place the phone on the kitchen counter. I turn around to see Ivy standing staring at me.
"Who was that" she asks knowing something was wrong.
"My mum died, I have to go back to London on Monday for funeral" I wipe the tears off my face. Ivy walks over to me and puts her arms around me.
"I don't know why I'm crying cause my mom has never been there for me" more tears pour out of my eyes making Ivy's hoodie go soggy.
"Let's gets some ice cream and watch tv" she drags me to my room and I get under the blanket when she gets the ice cream. We both get comfortable and put the Tv on, just watching some random series.

Ivy's POV
I look over to Blake and see her eyes fixated on the Tv, I don't want her to go downhill she's been doing really good since I found her unconscious in the bathroom. "I'm just going to go to the bathroom" she gets up and goes into the bathroom. I look down to the mattress to see a stain of red blood. This couldn't get any worse. I hear Blake screaming saying fuck you period. I get up and knock the door, "Blake do you need anything" I ask waiting by the door patiently, the door unlocks and opens.
Blake looks up with red puffy eyes "can I have a hug" she asks wiping her eyes.
"Of course" I hug her tightly not letting her go "let's get you cleaned up then let's watch some Tv"
