The alarm is what woke her up.
Chloe Mitchell isn't one to be late, but on this day, she woke up late.
She lost Beca ten years ago to the day.
Both Avery and Benson struggled with the loss, but Aubrey and Devonte helped them. Aubrey had adopted Devonte after Jesse was sentenced the death penalty.
Caylie had only heard stories about Beca, but never understand how and why Jesse did what he did.
Tears streamed down her face as she got up.
She went downstairs and found Aubrey and the kids, getting breakfast ready.
"Hey." Aubrey smiles.
Chloe broke down. "Shhh. It's okay." "Have you ever lost anyone you've ever loved?"
"I did Aunt Chlo." Devonte said, "Remember? My biological mother was killed right in front of me when I was four."
"Mom," Avery got up and went to her mother, "we all miss Mama, but she wouldn't want us to get sad once a year. She'd probably say something scarcastic and then make us laugh. I will always remember that she loved us."
Chloe sniffles.
"Mom? Are you okay?" Caylie asked walking into the room.
"What's on your mind?" Benson asked.
"I'm going to release 'I Will Never Love Again' in an hour."
"Woah." "Yeah. The world needs to hear the last song she wrote. I had Lady Gaga sing it and it's time we put it out."
Aubrey looked at Chloe, "Why not release both?"
"I can't release Beca singing it." "Why not?" "I imagine her there and saying that she doesn't want to steal the spotlight."
