I looked over at Laurie to see him staring at Mom. She came over and hugged me, I stood there still and quiet. Everyone gave me a nasty look, "It's okay Mia, she's in a better place now." Mom said, I quickly pulled away. "Now it's not okay Beth is gone, my mom is gone!" I looked over at Laurie, "And I don't even know why you bothered to show up! You couldn't possibly care about her, you're all so selfish!" I yelled running out the door to the garden.
Laurie's pov
"And I don't even know why you bothered to show up!" Mia yelled, "You couldn't possibly care about her, you're all so selfish!" She ran out the door, I wanted to run after her but I didn't want to make things worse. "I'm sorry Laurie, i'm not quite sure why she is like this!" Mrs. March stated. "It's okay, it was her best friend after all."
After a while Mia still wasn't back, I decided that it would be a good time to go find her. I told Jo that I would be right back, she quickly disagreed. "I will go look for her, she's not very happy with you." She started grabbing her coat and walked out the door.
Jo's pov
I walked to the garden to find Mia talking to a bird that was perched on the bird bath in front of her. "Laurie's selfish and Marmee won't even give me the time of day unless it has something to do with Jo. She says she doesn't favor anyone but it's obvious she loves Jo more." The bird chirped and flew off. I walked over and sat next to her, "you really think i'm Marmee's favorite?" I asked, she nodded her head. "Well, you are my favorite." She looked at me and smiled, "Are you feeling any better?" Mia shook her head "Not really." I put my arm over her shoulder pulling her close beside me. "What happened in France?"
Mia's pov
I told Jo what happened in France, "Why didn't you go with him?" I sat there for a moment "I do not know." I said sorrowfully, "What would you say if he asked you again?" Jo asked, "I think if he asked me again I would say yes." I paused "Do you think he'll ask me again?" Jo smiled at me "Do you love him?" "Yes, but I think he just cares more to be loved." I looked down at my hands "I think that if he is meant for you he will come find you." Jo started, "And if he isn't meant for you then we'll run off together." I smiled and leaned my head on Jo's shoulder.
