Best Job Ever!

6. Loss

It's been two days. My mother is gone. She died this morning. I feel like I have nothing left, like there's a hole in my heart. I have to get back to L.A. I get on my flight.

~Time Skip~

I haven't told anyone I'm coming back yet, but I had an idea, surprise them. I drive to the studio. When I get there I sneak inside through the front door. Luckily no one is in there, I open the door to the warehouse and see everyone working.

"Hi everyone." I say in a soft tone as I open the door.

"(Y/n)!" They yell and run up to me. They each give me a hug.

"We're so glad your back!" Sam exclaims once she finished hugging me.

"Yeah." I say in lowly. After everyone else, it was Bobby's turn.

"We were so worried about you." He said softly, giving me a hug.

"I know, I'm sorry."

"Its okay, you don't need to apologize."

"Is she..?" Matt asked.

"Yeah.. She's gone." I say looking down.

"Oh no." Sam gives me another big hug.

"We're sorry to hear that." Bobby said.

"At least she's in a better place." Joey said.

"Yeah.. You're right." I wipe my face.

"How did this happen?" Mariah asks.

"My father. He came home drunk. They argued. He attacked her. She already had heart problems and the attack made her worse so.."

"Your father did this?" Gunner asks, I just nod.

"That is screwed up in many ways. Who would attack their own wife like that?" Bryan said. I got angry just thinking about it.

"I hope he burns in hell one day." I mumbled.

"Did you say something (Y/n)?" Bobby asks.

"N-no its nothing." I walk away to my office.

*Bobby's POV*

I was so happy that (Y/n) was back, but it seems like there is a lot on her mind. I wanna talk to her, but she might not open up. I go up to Matt.

"Hey Matt?"

"What's up Bobby?"

"Do you think it would be a good idea for me to talk to (Y/n)?"

"I don't know. Maybe you should give her some time first."

"Yeah, she has been through a lot."

"And its all happened so fast. She must be really overwhelmed." He sighs.

"Right."

"Just give her time, then check on her."

"Okay, thanks."

I go to (Y/n)'s office. She's on the computer working.

"Hey.. You okay?" I ask.

"Hey, I'm fine... just tired." She yawns.

"Okay. I'm just looking out for you. Do you wanna take a break?"

"No. I already missed 3 days of work. I need to catch up. Luckily I should be done soon." She shakes her head.

"Oh okay then. Let me know when your done.. there's something I wanna tell you." I say nervously.
