ASTRID
Saturday
I will admit that I was in a moment of weakness last night.I Depressed-called North last night and I'm kinda freaking out.

After I told her that I needed her , she quickly responded with ''I'm coming, Astrid' and hung up.

And so far?

I haven't heard from her all morning.Her location is off so I'm a little worried that she's going to do something ..North-Like..

But I have bigger problems than North,Today was the funeral.The day Grandpa Carrington will be honored and rested for the rest of his life.

I take a deep breathe as Drew steps up beside me."Are you ready?"."No".

She looks at me sadly and holds my hand."Im here for you Wren.With anything you need"."Thank you".

We walk in and I spot my parents at the front.I look at the casket and see how peaceful he was.

I close my eyes to stop the tears from flowing but it's impossible.Once I get to the chair, Ma holds me.

"Im here Princess".she whispers.

My sobs softly echo the room.And the priest gets on the stand and is about to open his mouth.

That is until the door opens and someone rushes in.I turn around and my eyes wide when North looks up.

She was wearing a black dress and flats.She looked flushed as she looks around.

Her blue eyes lock on mine and she rushes over to me."North?"."Hi Speedy".

"What..What are you doing here?".

She looks at Drew and she gets up.She sits down beside us and North smiles softly."You told me you needed me.So I came"."But to get here you had to come from a train at 4am".

"I know".She sits down beside me and intertwines our hands."I told you that I would drop anything for you, Astrid".

A soft tear falls as North brushes it away with her thumb.She looks ahead and the priest starts the service.

/////////////////////////////////
After a bunch of tears and North holding my hand the entire time the service was over.

We went to the Carrington Mansion for the after service.And the whole time? North didn't let go of my hand.

"Ms.Lombardi".I turn around to see Mom.North clears her throat and says "It's good to see you Mrs.Carrington".

Mom nods her head and says "Hm.I appreciate you being here for my daughter"."She called and I came".

Mom looks at her shocked before crossing her arms."So you would drop everything for her?"."Yes" North says without a rush.

Mom smiles at me and says "Good job.You are just like your ma".

I look at her confused as she looks at North."Once you go to a Hassan you are in love with them for the rest of your life.There is no getting away"."Trust me,I'm never leaving Astrid".
