A silent tear rolled down my cheek as I stared at the small card.
Deepest condolences

LA memorial center.
I picked up the phone with shaky hands and dialed Bella's number.
After four rings someone picked up and a little girls voice rang across the line.
"Hewo, dis is da umm" there was whispering in the background
"Hemsworf household how can I hewp you?"
I smiled and whiles a tear out of my eye.
"Is there anyone there named Bella?"
The little girl whispered something off of the phone.
"Well, my mommies name in bewwa"
Mommy?
"Ok well can I talk to her sweetie?" I heard the little girl hand the phone to whom I presumed was Bella.
"Hi my name is Bella Hemsworth how may I help you?"
"Hemsworth?"
"Oh my gosh, Lacey is that you?"
"The flesh and blood" I hoarsely replied.
"Oh gosh, Liam hurry!"
"YOU MARRIED LIAM."
I practically screamed into the phone.
"Oh, yeah and we have umm one kid."
Oh gosh, I'm gonna faint.
"Oh gosh, when did this happen?" I asked feeling a bit sick.
"When you left." she said softly.
I nodded, even though she can't see me. the guilt weighed me down even more now.
"What's wrong?" I heard a voice call in the background.
"Is that Liam?" I asked
"Yeah" her tone was lighter, well I missed my best friend falling in love.
"Babe, why're you crying?"
Bella sniffled and handed him the phone.
"It's Lacey"
The phone dropped. I yelped in pain at the static noises before it was quickly recovered by a stunned Liam.
"L-Lacey? Is it really you beautiful?"
I laughed at his old nickname.
"Hey, careful you have a wife now I wouldn't want conflict."
"Plus" I added "nobody here makes fun of my looks, retired model remember?"
He chuckled
"Yeah, oh and where is here exactly?"
"Texas." I said
"Texas!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah. umm, so Li?"
"Yeah lace?"
"Umm, did you hear about Sasha."
I played with the fraying edge of my flannel shirt.
