Prologue:

“Ladies and gentlemen, lets hear it one more time for the Tonals!” the MC says, getting the energetic crowd now more excited for the main event. He introduces the band once again and we all play or little solos making the audience rise to their feet and applaud. This was our ‘big break’, our opportunity we’ve been waiting for. We have been together as a band for 7 years now and are all in our final year at university. This is my family.

 We already have a few record deals waiting to be confirmed and we sometimes play on the radio, but tonight was our break through in the music industry. As we walk backstage the crew and some passers cheer us on and congratulate us on a great performance. Everyone’s adrenaline is pumping and bottles of champagne are being popped. I feel a small arm go around my neck and laugh at the sight. My best friend and saxophonist Leslie has a bottle of bubbly in her hand and her shirt is wet at the front “well done on tonight Les! Your solo was out of this world!” I try to shout above the noise. “you were pretty good to, I guess” she shrugs and starts laughing. I punch her lightly on her shoulder and we both start laughing hysterically “im just kidding, you were amazing Jules and you held us together” she smiles and hands me the bottle. I take a sip and hand it back to her  “thanks Les”.

“are you going to the after party?” she asks in between sips and all the adrenaline I felt, suddenly vanished as I remember where I have to be “no, I have to visit my mom” she hugs me tightly “tell her I said hi and give her a kiss for me” I nod, she kisses my cheek and joins the rest of the band. I say goodbye to the guys, thank the crew and technical guys, organisers etc. ,pack my bass guitar in the car and drive off to see my mom. Im so excited to see her as I know she is proud of what I have just done and I can remember the moment I told her that we were to open for Nimmy Jevis. She was ecstatic and bouncing off the walls, hugging me and cheering. She would’ve seen them on TV as at was broadcasted live and even if she did not see, she made sure she recorded it, so that she could watch it when she got home.

I park the car, greet the security guy and make my way through the doors. Oh how I hated this place, the sick people, medicine, knowing people were dying in here made me sad. I walk past reception and go straight towards my mothers room. There I am met with an empty bed. Where is she? I walk back to the front desk and was about to ask where they had moved her when I saw her doctor. “Doctor smith! Doctor smith!” he turns around and his face suddenly drops. “have they moved my mother to another room?” he silently leads me to a chair to sit and I suddenly have a huge knot in my stomach. “Juliette…. Your mother, she- she passed away about two hours ago. Im so sorry for your loss, she was a really nice woman” he takes an envelope out of his pocket and puts it in my lap “she asked me to give this to you”  and I suddenly feel the hot tears stream down my face. They don’t stop. I cant even answer him, but just continue crying. How else do you react when half of your heart and life was taken away? He slowly stands up and excuses himself “I’ll give you some alone time to read the letter. Call me if you need anything, bye Juliette” as he disappears down the long hallway I slowly, with shaking hands, turn the letter around and in her beautiful cursive handwriting is written ‘to my beautiful daughter, Juliette’ and a new flow of tears suddenly burst. I cannot get myself to open the letter, but instead get out my phone and call the first person I could think of. The person picks up the phone but I hear noise “Jules! Hows it going love?”  I cant help the sob that escapes my throat “Les…..mom….gone….cant…..please” I could only get those few words out but somehow she got the message. “Jules!? Oh no, hang on sweetie, im on my way, stay right there” I hear the beep indicating that she hung up and I drop the phone to the floor, not caring if it breaks. I put the letter in my pocket , curl into a ball and start crying as I allow the sleep to take over.

I feel someone tapping me on my shoulder “Jules…. Wake up love” I slowly open my eye lids, one at a time and see Leslie crouching down next to me. On instinct, I grab her and hug her, feeling the tears once more “she’s gone…. I cant believe I decided to play instead of being here with her…” a sob escapes my mouth and Leslie holds on tighter “shhh… its ok, im here. Lets go home, but first we need to get you up from this floor” I hadn’t even realized that I had fallen asleep on the hospital floor. I simply nod at her and we walk with arms hooked to my car and she drives us back to our apartment which we share. Les unlocks the door and we both drop on the couch realization hitting the both of us like a ton of bricks. I lean on her shoulder and just audibly manage to whisper “she’s gone…” and with that we cry together until there are no more tears left and the sleep finally consumes us.
