Elizabeth's POV

I open my eyes. Where am I? I look around my childhood room with the bright blue walls. I almost fall out of bed when I see my mum sitting next to me in bed. I stare at her and she smiles at me with a soft smile.

'Do you love him?' She asks.

'Mum?' I reach out to touch her, but I pull my hand back when I almost touch her shoulder.

I see her grab my hand and she puts it on her shoulder. Is she real? I softly squeeze her shoulder and look into her green eyes. I didn't realise I was crying until she wipes the tears away from my cheek with her thumb.

'Do you love him?' She asks again.

'Who? Shawn?' I am confused.

'Yes. Do you love him?'

'Yes I do. Mum I have missed--'

'Good.' She interrupts.

I stare at her, not knowing what to do. Is this my mum or is this just my imagination of mum? I blink a couple of times, trying to make sense of it all.

'I want you to remember this...' She looks at the door. 'I have to get going soon.' I see a scared expression.

'Why? Where do you need to go?' I grab her hand.

'Oh my sweet daughter...' My mum brushes her thumb over my knuckles. 

'You have never let me down and you will not do that now either.' She looks in my eyes.

'What? What do you mean?'

'Listen to your feelings. It does not matter how much you despise your feelings, deep down, they are always right.' She says, looking at the door again.

'What feelings? Mum, you are not making any sense.' I try to get her to pay attention to me, but she is too focused on the thing behind my bedroom door.

'It will.' And with that she stands up.

I reach out for the blouse she's wearing to pull her back to me, but my hand goes right through it, and just like that day she slips away from me.

Shawn's POV

I put Beth down on the bed in our hotel room and when I turn around to call a doctor or anyone that can help us she opens her eyes.

'I saw my mum.' She stands up from the bed as if she wasn't unconscious a couple of seconds ago.

'You what?' I walk back to her.

I see her frown when she looks at her hands with doubt in her eyes. She saw her mother? I don't know what has been happening the last few days. Me getting sick, Beth sleepwalking, that girl kissing me and now she has seen her mother?

'I don't trust you.' She looks at me with a cold expression.

'Wait...What? What did I do?!' I stare at her with a painful feeling in my chest.

'I love you and that makes me blind.'

What the fuck is she talking about?! Yes, she is right not to trust me but she doesn't know that! Or at least I thought she didn't.

'You lied about Madrid.' She looks at me. 'You also probably lied about losing your phone.' She walks to the nightstand.

I stare at her, watching her every move. I decide to keep my mouth shut. I have no idea what she knows and I don't want to give away any information she might not know. If today she finds out what I did, I will kill myself. She types something into her phone and looks up at me again.
