*A COUPLE WEEKS LATER*
CHLOES POV
my mom's still not back and as much as ive been enjoying having the house with just me and beca I'm starting to get worried, she never usually goes without messaging me for more than 4 days tops. I hope everything is okay.
*LATER THAT DAY*
the housephone rings and beca reaches over to grab it over the back of the sofa as I stay curled into her. as I'm watching whatever beca has put on TV I hear the person on the other end of the phone ask for me. then I start to panic. as she passes me the phone I cant help but let my mind wander to the worst possible thing.
"uhm, hello?"
" hello, is this miss chloe beale, daughter of ms. Melissa beale? "
" yes that's me, may I ask who it is that I am speaking to?" I ask politely, internally praying that this isn't going to go the way I think it is.
"oh, yes of course, I do apologise. I am dr Hadfield from Massachusetts general hospital. I hate to inform you of this over the phone, but sadly your mother passed away last night after being involved in a drink driving accident, where she was intoxicated, along with the other driver. I sincerely send my apologies to you and your family for such a lack of communication and delay in delivery of this terrible news and if there is anything I can do to help you in this time of need, please do not hesitate to ask and I will try my very hardest to help you. "
"oh" is all I can manage to get out.
around 2 minutes go by and I hear the dr say my name and ask if I'm okay.
" thank you, erm, I don't really know what to say, I'm sorry, Ive got to go"
I say and quickly end the phone call
"baby? you okay?" beca asks and with that I burst into tears and everything around me goes fuzzy and i feel my body go numb all over.
BECAS POV
chloe all of a sudden collapses in my arms and starts to cry hysterically and i can only imagine what is going on in her head right now.
*AROUND 30 MINUTES LATER*
chloe has finally stopped crying and is sat in my lap just staring blankly at the screen, then she turns to face me.
" its my mom bec, shes dead"
and my heart drops 6 feet underground for her
"oh my baby, i cant even imagine what youre going through right now"
i wrap my arms around her
" i er, i don't know what to say."
she looks at me like i have 3 heads and says
" don't say anything then baby, theres nothing either of us can do now, other than move on with life. besides we were never that close anyway." she says nonchalantly.
"baby, you don't have to do this, youre allowed to be upset. after all she was your mom."
"bec, she gave birth to me, but that's it. my nonna is the one who raised me and took care of me all of these years and after she said all my so called mother did was provide enough for me to keep myself alive."
she has a point, her mom was never really there for her, the poor girl practically looked after herself from the age of 13.
" well baby, you know whatever you wanna do i will fully support you." i say and mean 100 percent.
" thank you baby, now can u come lay down in bed with me I'm tireddd."
and that's what we did, spent the night enjoying each others company and watching some of her favourite movies to keep her happy.
