MIRIAM’S P.O.V

James lent us a car so Connor and I were driving to the town looked for a hospital for Mom.  I was going to have flight tonight at 9, same departure time with Connor, even though we’re not flying together.  This was the 4th hospital in a row but Connor seemed didn’t like it much.  There were only Standard rooms left; instead, Connor wanted a VIP room for Mom.  It’s going to be a long day before flight.

Connor was speaking to the receptionist at this hospital as I stood beside him, until my phone rang.

“Yes,” I answered the call in front of Connor because he asked me to.

“Miriam?”

“Yes Sir, what is it?”

“We’re sorry but your Mom…”

“No...no...NO WAY!!!”  I screamed too loud and started to lose my balance but Connor held my waist already.

“We’ve done everything Miriam, really sorry.  I’ll set up the document for you.  When will you come here?”

I couldn’t breathe so Connor took away the phone from my hand and started talking to the guy.

“Hello Sir, my name is Connor I’m Miriam’s boyfriend…” that’s all I heard before everything went black.  I didn’t even know if Connor could hold me any longer.

“Babe…”

“Con…  Mom was…”  I started to cry again and Connor was there to comfort me.  I just realized that we’re in the tour bus and Connor placed me in his bunk, with him kneeled beside me.

“I’m so sorry Mi, I’m so sorry…  I don’t know about this but really hope everything’s going to be fine…  You’re going to get through this…”  He pulled me too deep against his chest as I cried even harder.

“I can’t live without Mom, Con…”

“I know…  Sorry but nothing I can do about it…”  We both cried in silence until my head was dizzy and I seriously should somehow stop crying first.

“What should I do now?”  I covered my face with my both hands.

“Ssh…okay listen to me.  You’re going to be fine.  I’m going with you tonight to Hawaii.”

“No way, the show must go on!”

“Don’t argue me with this one, Mi.  I’ve re-arranged everything so don’t ask.”

“No I need to know what would happen if you’re not in LA tonight.”

“The first show is being rescheduled of course, Mi.  You don’t need to worry about that.”

“Don’t do this for me baby please…”

“We need to make a funeral for Mom and after that, you’ll be join me.”

“Oh my God I can’t breathe…”

“Okay look at me.  Inhale…exhale…close your eyes…take a deep breathe…and let it go.”  Connor held my both hands and sit with me.  I followed the instruction but still blinked some tears but Connor swept them away. 

“You’re going to be okay baby…  I promise.”  He whispered.
