~Ana's POV~
[Edited, TRIGGER WARNING ALSO.]

When we arrive at her mothers house, I sit my stuff beside the door and we silently walk up to her mother's room. Kate's room was beside her mothers and she had mentioned that she was tired a lot from the Chemo. We entered her mothers room, which smelt strongly of bleach and crisp fall air.

"Mother?" Kate asks her sleeping form, resting her hand on her arm. I clasped mine behind my back.

"Is she breathing Kate?" I question quietly, looking down at her frail mother. Kate lets out a nervous chuckle.

"O-Of course she is.." Kate replies and runs her hand down to her mother's wrist, picking it up softly. She holds her fingers against her wrist to check for a pulse. I take notice of how pale her mother is, that's not good. Furrowing my eyebrows Kate lays her hand back onto the bed and turns to me with a shake of her head. I pull her into a hug while she cries into my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Kate." I whisper while rubbing her back in slow circular motions to comfort her.

"W-what am I g-going to do?" She questions through heavy sobs.

"Be quiet, love. We will figure this out." I say calmly and lean out of the hug, wiping her cheeks. I walk her downstairs and close the door silently behind us. Sitting her down at the dinning table. I pick up the phone and call the ambulance to pick her mother up, only asking Kate questions I can't answer. We set a date for the funeral. I help Kate sort out her funds too. When the ambulance arrives I soothe Kate while they retrieve her mother. I don't know what I would do if I lost a family member close to me.

-----[Day of funeral.]

Arriving at the church, we head straight to the chapel. Kate explained she didn't want to see her mother again while they set up the service in the other room. She did end up breaking down in the middle of the ceremony though. I held her hand and handed her tissues through the whole thing. I walked her to the front of the room for her speech, only sitting back down to be respectful. She took a shaky breath and I smiled reassuringly.

"Well.. I guess w-we all have lost someone close to u-us a few days ago. My mother was always the loving kind. She never let any of us ever feel unloved or not cared for- and by us, I mean everyone. Her niceness spread through the room she was in, it didn't matter if you were a stranger or friends pr family, you always knew she was there for you. Gaining friends was never a problem. I would like to thank my close friend Ana for always being there for me.. She's helped me through t-this all. Thank you all for coming." She nodded with a teary smile and stepped down from the small carpeted stage, brushing her hand over the closed coffin. She sat down beside me and I pulled her into my lap.

The ride back to the house was silent other than her small sniffles and crying. I helped her out of her dress and wipe the makeup from her face. I help her into her bed, tucking the blanket in around her and turning the lights off.

"Thank you, Ana. I'll miss you." She mumbled to me before I shut the door behind me. Dismissing the odd comment walk into her mothers room, deciding to use the last of my energy to clean the house to perfection. I fall asleep at 4am on the leather couch seated in the den.

------------

I roll over and groan, pulling the small quilt over my head. The light from the curtains spilling into the room. I turn my phone on to see I've only been asleep for about 5 hours. I stand up from the couch and stretch, trudging up the stairs to check on Kate. The bathroom door is closed and I'm glad to know she's already up and ready to start a new day. I smile to myself and return back downstairs grabbing an apple from the kitchen. I lean against the counter scrolling through my phone while finishing the apple, throwing the core away. The water is still running in the bathroom, making me become anxious. When I'm upstairs I see water leaking from the bottom of the door. What the?
