(Katy's POV)

My heart felt completely wrecked, like it had completely sunk into the depths of the ocean were no man can go.

It's been three days since the police came to tell me that the ambulance had crashed into a lorry, leaving no signs of Pearl's body. To make the situation worse, I cannot have the funeral that I had planned in remembrance for another two weeks!

I lean over to pick up the alcohol, pour it into my cup and down it within seconds. This has been my routine for the pass couple of days. Drinking until I feel nothing, it's great to be able to feel no pain.

Not to my own surprise, Shannon comes into my room, checking up on me for the billionth time.

"Katy you need to get out of bed, eat some proper food and stop drinking so much, your gunna make yourself sick!!" Shannon says, taking my glass away from me as well as the alcohol.

"What you gunna do about it?!? You can't control me, no one can!" I snap at her, trying to grab the alcohol off her.

Then to Shannon's advantage, she got her phone out and played a video of me and Pearl together, I sent it to her ages ago. I covered my ears unable to hear her voice. I scream out loud, hoping it would manipulate Shannon into stoping the video. I can't feel all this pain it's way to much. All the memories have come flooding in, especially the memory of when we made this video...

"Okay Pearl, you ready?" I ask her as she nodded her head, trying to keep my pink wig on her small head. She looks so cute in it.

"1...2...3!" I say pressing the film button as I begin to record Pearl pretending to be me.

"Hello everyone, my names Katy Perry, do you like my ravishing pink locks and my daisy dukes that will just make your Popsicle melt, ooo cheeky me..." Pearl says, giving a small wink which makes me laugh so hard.

"So I'm going to sing a song too you, it's like one of the most brilliant songs I have ever written which I am going to dedicate to my amazing, fantastic, beautiful and talented daughter Pearl!" Pearl says while strutting around in my high heels, trying to impersonate my walk.

"Not to mention smelly!" I say from behind the camera.

"Oh don't listen to her, she's extremely irrelevant!" Pearl says putting her hand in front of the camera.

A few minutes later, we finally finish filming. We both looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing. We watched the video back and forth at least ten times, unable to stop laughing. She must get all this craziness from me, thank god I have something similar to share with someone.

"Katy, I think this moment calls for a to cool for school selfie!" Pearl says as she straightens the hairs on the wig.

"Remember kitten, always selfie with purpose!" I say as I take a few selfies with Pearl, both smiling at the camera.

"Katy?" Pearl says while taking off the pink wig and taking her hair out of the net.

"Yes kitten?" I say as I put my phone down.

"I love you.." She says, putting her head on my chest and settles down peacefully and falls quickly asleep.

"Momma loves you to..." I whisper in her ear and kiss her forehead.

I wiped away the tears from my eyes, feeling so much pain in my heart that I knew I could never truly escape, not even alcohol could make me escape it.
