Chapter 1:
Beth's POV:
I can't believe it. My mother is or was my best friend. All my life it's just been me and her and now it's just me. I'm only thirteen. I'll be turning fourteen in the second week of September. At my age, I could never imagine losing a mother. My mother who was my only parent. Shelby Corcoran tragically died three days ago after a horrible car accident. I've been crying for three days straight, I've been angry at everyone for three days straight, and I've been living with my sister Rachel Berry for three-day straight. She's the only family my mom and sister ever had. My grandparents died when I was four months old so I could barely remember them. Mom was an only child and there was no father involved in this picture. My mother's funeral was earlier. It was one of the hardest thing I ever been through. The whole time Rachel has comforted me. The whole time I kept thinking, 'Why did she leave me?' and 'What would happen to me?' I'm only a minor and of course I couldn't be left alone by myself. I had Rachel and she's great but I she wasn't around as much during the years my mother lived. Everyone who loved my mother came to our house to show their respect and kindness. My mother and live in New York. It's the city that never sleeps and she had tons of people who love her. She was a Therapist who helped many others. Rachel made sure she would never leave me.
Rachel's husband, my brother-in-law Finn Hudson came over to us. "Rachel? I think we should tell Beth."
I was crying on Rachel's lap. I couldn't let anyone see my teary face. "Finn, right now is not a good time. We just lost our mother."
I heard Finn let out a big sigh. I slowly sat up. "Tell me what?" I asked.
I turned to Rachel who kept sniffling and shaking her head. "Forget it, Beth. It's nothing."
"Don't lie to me, Rachel." I cried. "Tell me!"
"Shelby Corcoran wasn't your biological mother." Finn blurts out.
My heart has crushed right then and there. How could they just break news like this to me like this? Are they so in consider-it that they couldn't wait a few weeks after my mother's funeral?
"She what?" I mumbled.
"Shelby Corcoran wasn't your biological mother." Finn repeats himself.
I thought of his words. It did make sense. My mother had brunette hair while I had blonde hair. I looked nothing like my mother but I have never cared.
Rachel tried placing a hand on my shoulder for comfort. I moved away. "I just lost my mother and saw her being buried! And now this? You people are so in consider-it, I can't believe you guys!" I was now sobbing. I stood up, and stepped away from Finn and Rachel.
I didn't care if I was making a scene or if everyone in the room was staring at me. "Beth? Please." Finn tried to calm me down. "Before you run off to your room, I need to tell you something else."
There was a long period of silence. I glared at them with my swollen dead eyes. "What? More bad news?"
"Rachel and I read your mother's will. She wants you to live with your real parents. Your real parents who are Quinn Fabray and Noah Puckerman." I wanted to slap him. I wanted to slap Rachel, then I wanted to run out of the house.
But I couldn't. Instead, I ran upstairs to my room, sobbing uncontrollably.
This was my last few weeks of summer and this wasn't how I expected it to end. I didn't expect my mother dying, I didn't expect finding out she wasn't really my mother, and I wasn't expecting that I was going to live with my 'biological parents.'
I sobbed onto my pillow. Every time I cried or was upset, my mother would be right there, singing to me and smoothing my back.
Sometimes if I felt better, I'd sing along with her. Now I had no one.
At thirteen, this is all just too much for me.
