The Depth of Fate ~on hiatus ~

Chapter 7

We were still at the nightclub at 12am. Both Kathy and Cher were drunk as it only takes a few drinks to get them drunk.

Cher decided it was time to go back to the hotel before they got so drunk that they couldn’t walk straight.

We quickly left the nightclub and got into the limo without being detected. We all went back to Cher’s hotel room and hung out for a bit. Once we got up to the room all three of us san on the couch. I sat in the middle with my legs crossed and Kathy and Cher sat either side of me. We all started to talk about random stuff then Kathy said something that made me think.

“Emily?” Kathy said drunk.

“Yes Kathy?” I said.

“Well you know you that you were passed out for a day?”

“Yes?” I said confused.

“Well Cher never left your side! She was really worried about you. She cried…” She stopped because Cher kicked her then glared at her.

“Is that true?” I asked Cher.

Cher was hesitant but she finally said “Yes it’s true!”

I hugged Cher and she hugged me back.

We all started talking some more but after a bit I started getting tired so I leaned my head on Cher’s shoulder and I started to drift to sleep.

I hadn’t quite gone to sleep when Kathy said “I’m going to go back to mine now as you have to be up early and this cheeky monkey is falling asleep.” Kathy started poking me.

“Stop poking me you crazy bitch!” I said to Kathy, we all laughed.

“Are you sure she’s not yours?” Kathy asked Cher.

“Yes I'm sure!” Cher said to Kathy. Cher then said to me “Babe why don’t you go put your PJ’s on while I say goodnight to this silly bitch then I will come in and say goodnight to you. Ok?”

“Ok,” I said getting up “It was nice meeting you Kathy!”

Kathy then stood up and gave me a hug “You are a lucky girl to have someone who cares about you so much!” Kathy was drunk but I knew she meant it.

“I know! I'm going to bed now so goodnight you crazy bitch!” I winked at Kathy; I walked into the bedroom and closed the door.

I Kathy say to Cher “You really care about her don’t you? I can see it in your face!”

“I do care about her A LOT!” I Stopped listening and quickly put my PJ’s on. I thought about what Cher just said to Kathy about me ‘wow Cher, the goddess of pop, the woman who has had a number 1 hit in the last 6 decades, cares about me!’ I hopped into bed and continued thinking ‘why is she adopting me? Why does she care about me? I'm just a 15 year old girl who ran away from her abusive mother.’ I heard the front door close and I continued thinking ‘I just spent the night with TWO celebrities, one of which is going to adopt me!’ Cher came in the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed.

“Thank you!” I said giving Cher a hug.

“What for?” Cher asked.

“Everything!”

“You’re welcome babe!” I lay back down and continued thinking. “Babe, what are you thinking about?” Cher asked.

“Nothing. Everything. Too much. Not enough.”

“You’re just like me! A mystery!” Cher was defiantly a bit drunk.

“I’m going to sleep now cause I'm tired.”

“Ok night baby girl! Remember we have to be up early to catch our flight!”

“Ok night night.” Cher then kissed me on my head, turned off the light and walked out the room. I fell asleep almost straight away.

~~

About an hour after I fell asleep I had a bad dream. I started screaming. Cher rushed into my room and saw I was crying. She walked over to me and sat on my bed next to me. She curled up with me and comforted me till I calmed down. I put my head on her shoulder and she put her head on my head.

After I calmed down Cher started talking to me “What’s wrong babe?”

“I…I…I had a…a…a bad dream!”

“What was it about?”

“I…You…We…were killed by…by…by…” I burst out crying.

Cher wiped my tears and comforted me “who was it?”

“My…my…MOTHER!” I sat crying for ages.

Once I finally stopped crying again Cher said “It’s going to be ok! She’s not going to get near you! She’s not going to get near us! You are safe! I'm not going to let anyone hurt you!”

“I don’t think I can go back to sleep. I'm too scared!” I started crying again.

“Don’t cry babe!” Cher said wiping my tears away again “Do you want me to stay with you tonight?”

“Yes…p...p...please.” I said through my tears.

“C’mon baby girl stop crying.” She pulled me closer.

“I…I…I can’t!” I cried.

“Don’t make me tickle you!” Cher started tickling me. I started laughing “There you go! Let’s lie down.” So we lay down on the bed. Cher was still cuddling up with me. She started singing heart of stone to me. It didn’t take me long to fall asleep after she started singing because her voice was so soothing.
