Ariel's POV
"Come on Ariel. Just tell me what happened" Marissa pleads and I finally look at her. "My d-dad died" I sobbed and she gasped, tears filling her eyes. "N-Nobody knows y-yet. I w-want him b-back" She hugs me. "My mom hates me" "No she doesn't" "Yes she does! She's blaming everything on me and she wanted me out so i'm never going back! I never want to see her again!" "You are going back Ariel" "No. I don't want to see her" "Please" "No!"
*A week later*
Demi's POV
It's been a week since i've seen Ariel. It's been a week since i've lost my husband. The man I was supposed to love till I die. He's gone... Ariel isn't coming back, she hates me. I understand why. The way I treated her that day, it was uncalled for. I'm her mom, I was supposed to comfort her, not blame her for everything. But it's too late because she hates me. I've tried calling her but she ignores me every time.
I dial Marissa's number, I hope she answers. "Hello?" "Hi Marissa" "Oh, Hi" "Um, is Ariel there?" "Yes?" "Can I talk to her?" "She doesn't want to talk to you. She made that clear" "She's my daughter Marissa! It's important. Please?" "I can try" I wait a few minutes and then I hear her voice. "Hi" "Hey baby girl" "Don't call me that" She spat. I closed my eyes and let the tears roll down my eyes. "Sorry" "What do you want?" "I want you to come-" "Why?" She asked angrily. "I'm not doing so good" I choke out. It's silent... The only thing that can be heard is our breathing. "What do you mean?" "I'm getting sicker. I have to go through a special treatment and they said they're not sure if i'll make it or not" She didn't reply. "Please come" "I will momma" She whispers and I hear her sniff. "I love you" "You do?" "Of course I do baby. I was mad, upset, I was blaming you because I let Samantha get into my head. I'm so sorry sweetie.." "I love you too"
The door to my room flew open and Ariel stood there with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Come here" She ran to me and I hugged her tightly. "Are you going to die?" She asks. "No, they're going to do everything they can" "That doesn't mean you won't die" She sobbed. "Listen to me Ariel" She looked me in the eyes. "I promise i'll stay strong for you. Nothing will happen.." "Ok" She whispers. "I'm sorry" "Sorry for what baby girl?" "For killing-" "You didn't kill him" "Yes I did. You even said so" I ran my fingers through her hair. "I want him to come back" Her lip started quivering. I pulled her on my bed and I wrapped my arms around her while she cried. "So do I baby girl. I want him back so much" "Who? Me?" Oh my god. What the fuck?! "Wilmer?!" I scream and both our heads shoot up. "Hey" He's standing there perfectly fine. "Dad!" Ariel screams loudly and runs over to him. "I thought you were dead!" She sobs and he picks her up as she wraps her legs around his waist. "I'm sorry daddy" She sobs. I cover my face with my hands. "I'm so sorry" Wilmer puts her on the bed and wraps his arms around me. "Why did they say you were dead?" "I got out of the hospital yesterday. I was in a coma but I had to go home to my family" The look on Ariel's face was breaking my heart. "Wilmer I love you so much. I'm so sorry for everything... Please never leave me again. Please don't hurt me again" "I won't.. I promise" I kissed him. Ariel looked down so I pulled her to me. "Are you ok?" I sniff and she shrugs. "After everything he's done you're still wanting him back" "Ariel it's hard to stop loving someone" She tries to get up but I grab her wrist, she hisses. "Oh Ariel" I whisper and roll up her sleeve. She has new cuts. "Mom don't-" I stop her from talking and I kiss the top of her head. Wilmer sits down and rubs the top of my hand. "Because of me?" I ask and she looks down, avoiding eye contact with me. "I'm so sorry" My voice cracked. "It's ok" She lays on my chest. "So what's the media saying about us?" "Dad's dead, i'm depressed, and you're in surgery. That's it" She replies quickly. "I love you both so much" I whisper and they both smile. I finally have my family back.
Short chapter, I know. I'm sorry but i'll try to make more drama in the next chapter. Next update tomorrow or Thursday.
