A new beginning

.48.

.Beca's point of view.

Today it's my birthday, the first one I will celebrate without my mom. I do not want to celebrate my birthday, I just want to be alone and not bothered. I know that it's bad, but that's just how I feel. Chloe, my friends and my family keep telling me to be happy, that my mother would have wanted me to be happy all the time, but some days like this I just can't. She was always with me on my birthday, together with Nina and Jeremy.

,,Happy birthday, Becs." Chloe enter the room, a tray in her hands with breakfast on it. I didn't even noticed she was gone. I appreciate that she remembers my birthday, but I'm not in the mood to be happy.

,,Thanks, b-but I d-don't w-want to celebrate."

,,Why not?"

,,It's not the same." Suddenly Chloe's face become more worried and she put down the tray. She climbs into the bed and take my hand.

,,I understand that your birthday or any other celebrated day are not the same without your mother. I understand that you want to stay in bed all day with the covers over your head."

,,You d-do?"

,,Yeah, I lost my grandma a view years ago and I was in the same state as you are."

,,How d-did you solve this problem?"

,,It's not a problem, Becs. It's understandable that you don't feel like celebrate without the person you grew up with."

,,W-what d-did you d-do to survive a holiday?"

,,I decided to make a holiday the best one, for my grandma, to honor her. I don't know if it will help you, but you have other people around you that care about you. Becs, we are willing to spend every day with you. At least, I am." Why can she makes me feel good while I just want to cry my eyes out? ,,I know it doesn't bring your mom back, but think about this. If you make the best out of today, just to honor her, don't you think she will be with you? Maybe not in person, but through the mind."

,,I just m-miss her so m-much!" I yell and start crying. Immediately Chloe put her arms around me and pull me into a loving hug.

,,Shh, it's okay to cry." I rub her back. ,,What do you say we celebrate it, but only with a view people. Jeremy, Damian and Nina."

,,D-Damian is in Europe." I say sobbing.

,,Than we are going to celebrate it with Jesse, Benji and Emily."

,,Okay, fine. W-where d-do you w-want to g-go?"

,,Just be dressed in one hour and eat your breakfast." Chloe stands up.

,,W-where are you g-going?"

,,I just need to do something, don't worry, I'll be back." And after that she's leaving. Okay, what is she up to?

.Chloe's point of view.

I walk downstairs. I have a great idea. I need to call Jeremy and ask him where he is and if he wants to come and surprise Beca, but I have to do it real quick, because she will be downstairs in one hour. I grab my phone and walk to the garden, so I can talk without Beca hearing. I press the green button and my phone goes over.

Hello?

Jeremy?

Hi Chloe, how are you?
