I can't believe it. My grandma's gone. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. We started to leave the hospital and my dad pulled me aside.

"What?" I asked.

"Look I know grandma is gone, but could you please come home?"

"I don't know. I don't think I'm ready."

"Well where else would you live?"

"At grandma's house."

"Hailey, I know you miss her. But I just want you to come home."

" Let me ask you something dad. Were you ever there for me?"

"What do you mean?"

"The whole time I was with grandma, were you there for me?"

"Yes. I've always been there for-"

"No you haven't."

"What do you mean I haven't? Hailey I've always been there for you"

"No you haven't dad!"

"Hailey-"

"You've missed pretty much every special thing of mine. My concerts, my plays, even my birthdays. You've never cared."

"Hailey..."

"You've never done anything for me. You've never cared about me. So why should I be doing what you didn't do?"

I then left. I can't live with him yet. I'm not ready. I walk back to my grandma's house. As I reach the door, my hands shake. I can't enter. All of those memories with her will just come back to me. But, I have to. I open the door. The lights are still on. I walk over to her chair that she usually sits in. I decide to sit down in it. Memories start to come back, and I start to cry. I know memories make you happier, but for me, it just makes me sadder. I was so close to my grandma, it's hard to bring back the memories. I started to get tired, so I went back to my room. I walk in and all of a sudden, I see a note.

Dear Hailey, I know how close I am to you. But, my time is ending. I know it's going to be hard for you, but you need to go home. No matter where we are, we will always be right next to each other. I love you so much Hailey. I know you're going to have a bright future. Hailey, it's time for you to meet the world. ~Grandma

My heart shattered. I wish I could've been there before she died. It's my fault. I start to cry, but then I notice something next to the note. A locket. It had my name and a heart on it. On the inside, it had a picture of me and my grandma. I started to cry even more. But, my grandma was right. No matter where we are, we will always be right next to each other.

Maya's pov.

I felt really bad for Hailey when we left. I didn't know what her and her dad were talking about, but it's probably not good. They most likely were talking about Hailey needing to come home. I'm sure she will go back home eventually, she's just not ready yet. I walk back home. My mom doesn't have to work late tonight, thank god. I enter my house and see my mom sitting in the living room.

"Hey sweetie."

"Hi mom."

"How was the hospital?"

"Good I guess."

"How was Hailey?"

"She was devastated."

"Aw, well I hope she's doing okay."

"I'm sure she's fine. She just needs to get used to this whole situation."

"Well if you want to go and see her sometime, just let me know."

"Okay."

"Did she go home yet?"

"I don't think so."

"Do you know when she'll go home?"

"Probably soon. I can't see her staying at her grandma's house too long."

"Okay good."

"Well, I think I'm gonna head to bed."

"Wait! Maya, there's something I need to talk to you about."

"Okay? What?"

"Sweetie, I haven't been telling you the truth."

"Truth about what?"

"I-"

"Are you telling me you've been lying to me?"

"Yes, sweetie."

"For how long?"

"Um, well. Maybe your whole life?"

"My whole life?? Oh my gosh!" I started to walk off in anger.

"Maya wait!"

"First of all, why wait this long? Second of all, what did you lie to me about?"

"Maya, there's someone in the family who I've never told you about."

"Who?"

"Maya, I don't know how to say this?"

"Say what? Who is it?"

Hailey's pov.

I went back to the living room and sat in my grandma's chair. I read the note over and over thinking about one thing. Coming home. No, I can't. I don't want the same thing happening to me when I was 7. They've never apologized, and even if they did, they wouldn't have meant it. I feel like the only one who cares is Riley. And if my parents did care all this time, then why didn't they tell me to come home a long time ago? My phone then starts to vibrate. I look at my phone and notice someone's calling me. Maya.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hailey, are you busy tomorrow?"

"I don't think so, why?"

"I need to talk to you."

"Okay. Is everything okay?"

"No, not at all." Maya sounded like she wanted to cry.

"Maya are you okay? Do I need to come over?"

"No, it's fine. I can wait till tomorrow."

"Maya, what's going on?"

"I-I just. I need to go to bed, I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Wait Maya!" She then hung up.

Great. Now I have to worry about 2 things. Hopefully I can go see her tomorrow. I decided to go to bed. I had dreams about my grandma. They were mostly just memories. It was hard to sleep that night. I woke up the next morning and noticed that I got a text.

Grandma's funeral is today at noon. See you there. ~Riley.

Great. Now I have to go to this. I went on my messages and texted Maya.

Hey, my grandma's funeral is today at noon. So I don't know if we can meet today or not.~ Hailey

Well can you stay the night at my place? I really need to talk to you. ~Maya

Will your mom let me? ~Hailey

Yeah she's fine with that. ~Maya

Okay. See you later. ~Hailey

See you later~ Maya

I put my phone down and get ready for the funeral. Where I actually do say goodbye to my grandma.
