Y/N's POV, August 16th 1995

Today was quite a normal day, it started that way at least, we'd gotten up this morning dealt with the kids, Zeta and Nico making a fuss in the middle of the night but Nico only after Zarina started crying so Nik went and dealt with our youngest son while I dealt with our daughter.

Then once we'd woken up properly at seven forty five, I cooked breakfast for myself and Nikki and made appropriate meals for each of the children, as I dealt with washing up afterwards the phone went off which was Tommy asking Nikki to spend the day with him while Pamela was doing something, something I don't really care about.

Nik agreed to the preposition and after having half an hour watching TV with me he went and got showered and changed, leaving the house at just past ten am.

This left me on my own and that was fine, I played with Blaze and Nico for over an hour, building castles with building blocks then when Nico fell asleep and Blaze got bored and found something else to do got to tiding up Nikki's musical corner in our bedroom.

While I cleaned up my thoughts drifted to Skylar, Blaze and Nikki went to see Skylar the day after I did like I promised, Sharise was there but Vince wasn't because Nikki was there, when I told Vince about the plan for Nik and Blaze to see Skylar the same day I saw her while we were waiting for Sharise and he said that it was best he wasn't there.

Apparently according to Sharise the same night they went to see her, she just deteriorated... she hadn't woken up for more than a few hours a day since then, it was such a rapid decline in her health and it wasn't a good sign.

I've tried not to think about it but have expected the phone to ring with the news of Skylar passing away, I knew it was going to happen soon but didn't know exactly when.

That's why when the phone rang just as I finished organizing Nikki's things I instantly just got a sinking feeling, I had earlier when Tommy rang dreading it was Vince but this time when I had that feeling my heart sank in my chest and deep in my heart I knew what this phone call was, somehow I just knew.

I almost ran to the phone and picked it up "Hello?"

"... hi." was all I heard in reply, and it was certainly Vince but just the way he said that simple 'hi', I knew this wasn't going to be a good phone call.

I sighed, daring to ask Vince if he's rang for the reason I think he has, trying not to choke up and started  "Vinnie-"

I didn't get any further because he confirmed my suspicions "Skylar... she er-... she died last night." Vince said sounding out of it, most likely from shock because he has every right to feel like that.

I felt the same in a way, not anywhere near what Vin was feeling but I knew it was coming yet it's still surprising, its not something you can fully prepare for. Now was the time I had to offer all the support I could to Vin, it could be a matter of life or death for him. I was silent for a while trying to think of a way to reply and taking the time to just absorb what Vinnie just told me "Do you want me to come over?"

"No... I'll be alright... I promise... I just-... I needed to tell you." The singer told me, flatly which told me the opposite of what he'd said. No matter what he said, I couldn't leave him could I? That's not the right thing to do.
