"Red Debbie" Franky yelled waving like a mad woman she quickly ran over to the two happy to see them
"Franky" Bea said excitedly as Franky pulled her into a tight embrace
"God I've missed you it's been to long red" Franky said squeezing her friend tighter her face buried in red hair Franky was extremely happy to have her friend back living in the same place no more plane rides just to see her she was worried about bea living in New Zealand by herself Debbie was going to be in college soon that would leave bea by herself which Franky didn't want she was grateful it didn't take much convincing getting her to move here
"I've missed you to Franky" Bea said she really did miss Franky her and the brunette go way back she was like a sister to her
"I need to breath" Bea said breaking the long hug Franky was giving her
"Sorry red it been to long though really it's been almost a year without seeing you it's ridiculous" Franky said kissing beas cheek than began pulling away
"It's been 4 months not a year miss dramatic" Debbie said laughing teasing Franky
"Still to long deb come here" Franky said pulling the younger smith in a embrace ruffling her hair as Debbie swatted her hand away from her hair
"Don't hurt her Franky" Bea said as she watched Franky squeeze her daughter
"Oh shush I would never hurt Debbie" she said pulling away kissing Debbie on the head Franky wrapped her arms around the two smith woman smiling at them at led them outside to her car
"Goodness Debbie you have grown quite a bit since I last seen you you look great gorgeous just like your mum a mini red minus the red hair" Franky said smiling it was true she did looked like a younger version of bea Franky was glad Debbie pretty much got nothing from her arse of a dad
"Thank you and again it's only been 4 months" Debbie said she loves Franky she is like her badass aunt she was there when Debbie was born she has a few pictures of a young Franky holding her when she was an infant
They made it to the car Franky insisted on loading their stuff in the trunk for them once she finished she in the car and began to the hotel
"How are you doing Debbie almost the big 18 excited that the age your mum was when I met her"
bea laughed remembering that night they were just kids she just turned 18 and went to the pub where She was hit on by a young Franky Doyle bea turned her down Franky bought her a drink with what bea learned was a fake id since Franky was only 16 after that the rest was history the two of them have been through so much together since than no one knows bea better than Franky
"yeah I've heard you were quite the rebel with your fake id" Debbie laughed as Franky stuck her tongue out at the younger smith
"I'm doing pretty good I am excited to turn 18 I was actually telling mum that maybe we can all go out for my birthday" Debbie said
"Really you want to hang out with us old people" Franky laughed
"You sound like mum yes I think it would be fun beside mum needs to get out what's a better way to spend my birthday than hangout with my two favorite people"
"Yeah I am pretty awesome and your mum does need to loosen up a bit" Franky teased
"hey" bea said swatting Franky's arm
"She loosened up enough of the plane she probably is still drunk" Debbie said making Franky crack up
"You both know I am right here and can hear you" Bea said
"Really getting drunk on the plane red I thought I smelt cheap alcohol on you"
"Just a little I made a new friend so we had some drinks this one slept the whole time what else was I supposed to do"
"Oh don't go blaming me mum" Debbie said laughing
"Kaz is going to be so happy to see you I didn't tell her you are here though" Franky said
"What why not"
"I'll let her be a surprised" Franky said
"She is going to kill you for knowing and not telling her" Bea said
"Yeah well she will get over it" Franky said Pulling up to the hotel she jumped out getting their suitcases
"Here you go"
"Thank you"
"I have to run some errands but would you two like to grab dinner the restaurant here is amazing it ran by an amazing chef" Franky said
Bea started laughing because Franky was talking about herself she was the chef that runs it she is the manager she picks what chefs work there
"Sounds great what time"
"How's 6 I'll tell kaz to come to"
"Sounds good is that ok with you Debbie"
"Yeah it's fine"
"Call me if you need anything" Franky said hugging Debbie
"We will talk more later" Franky whispered to Bea while hugging her
"Bye red bye Debbie" Franky said getting in her car and leaving
They made it inside
"Hello welcome name please" the receptionist said
"Bea smith"
"Oh you must be the one taking the spot in the hair shop right love" the woman said
"Yes that me"
"I'm Liz pleasure to meet you Bea" Liz said
"You to Liz"
"I just need to call my manager really quick love" Liz picked the phone up dialing a number
"Mum I'm going to go sit over there"
"Yeah I'll come get you when I check in"
Five minutes passed when Liz finally got off of the phone
"ok I talked to my manager he said to upgrade you room to the two-bedroom suite for the price of the room you booked since you flew down in such a short amount of time you are filling the spot on such a short notice"
"Are you serious" Bea said shocked
"Yes I am here you go" Liz said handing Bea two keys
"Thank you Liz"
"Bye love nice meeting you"
"Bye Liz" Bea was still a bit shocked she walked over to where Debbie was and saw her talking to some boy he handed her his phone Debbie putting in what Bea assumed was her daughter number the boy took his phone and said something else then walked away
"Ready" Bea asked
They made their way to their room as Bea opened the door
"Wow this room is amazing mum" Debbie said in awe looking around at the room
"The Manager upgraded us to a two-bedroom suite"
"That's awesome see I told you this move would work out for us and this is only the beginning" Debbie really did have hope that this move would be what her mum needed
"You might be right about that" bea said opening the sliding door that led to the balcony
"I am mum just wait and see" Debbie said following bea outside
"this view is breathtaking" Debbie said enjoying the view she took her mums hands in her own
"thank you for this mum you are the best"
"anything for you Debbie"
"So who was that boy you were talking to" Bea asked her curiosity getting the better of her
"His names Shayne he actually invited me to go out with him and his friends his sister is in a band and she is playing a few blocks away"
"When" Bea asked nervous about Debbie going with someone she just met
"Today would it be ok if I skipped dinner"
"Yeah I guess that would be alright" Bea said her daughter isn't a little girl anymore thank goodness she is smart and Bea trusts her
"Thank you mum" Debbie said hugging her
"just promise me to be safe keep your phone on" bea said stretching her arms out yawning a little
Debbie looked to her mum's wrist seeing the scars there she doesn't know what happened her mum never talks about them there is only two on one wrist and one on the other it was a topic that her mum would probably never talk about with anyone
"I think I'm going to lay down before I have to get ready for dinner" bea said seeing where Debbie's eyes were looking she put her arms down she began remembering that day like it was yesterday she could feel her guard going up she hated thinking about that memory she would never talk about it again only Franky knew what happened and she plans to keep it that way besides she wouldn't even know how to tell her daughter what happened
"ok I probably will lay down to" Debbie said then went to settle in to her room
bea laid down in the soft bed she stared blankly at the ceiling she stared at her wrist ashamed of the scars she decided to take a bath she grabbed her shower stuff then went to the bathroom connected to her room she set her stuff on the counter top walking over to the bath tub turning the tub water on then went back to her stuff she pulled her hair up in a ponytail she stripped out of her clothes looking in the mirror her eyes harden at the sight on her chest and stomach there were a few big scars she hated the marks they made her feel ugly she quickly shook her feelings away she made her way to the bathtub turning the water off and got in the water burning her slightly but she didn't mind it she closed her eyes thinking about how dinner was going to go now that Debbie wasn't going she knew she would be getting more serious questions from Franky and kaz like how is she is she sleeping is she ok question things they won't ask in front of Debbie things she doesn't like talking about in front of her things bea soaked in her bath until the water started getting cold she got out wrapping a towel around herself drying off she looked in the mirror at her hair wanting to do something new she grabbed her hair clippers from her suitcase and walked back in the bathroom
Debbie was sitting on the couch waiting for her mum to come out it was about 5 minute until 6 and bea still wasn't out yet
"what is taking her so long" Debbie said to herself as if her mum heard her she came walking out
"wow mum" Debbie said looking at her mum new hair
"what" bea asked like nothing
"I like your hair" Debbie said looking at her mum hair it was pulled up in a ponytail underneath was shaved down
"do you really" bea asked
"yeah you look badass mum" Debbie said her mum really did look badass
"yeah" bea asked
"yes you do what made you do it"
"I don't know really I just wanted to try something new" bea said shrugging her shoulders
"it definitely worked out I really love it you look awesome"
"thanks sweet girl"
"you better get going you already late" Debbie said showing her mum the time on her phone
"shit" bea said grabbing her wallet and hotel key
"I'll go down with you I'm leaving soon to"
they both made their way down to the lobby going their separate ways as bea made her way to the restaurant
