---- I don't know how Bridget's mom killed herself in the TSOTTP series... So i just made something up. But if you know what happened in the books, feel free to tell me and I'll change it. Hope you'll like this chapter.
Kathy had shown her around town after Bridget had unpacked her stuff. Oia, the town they were staying in, was pretty small, but a very beautiful place. Almost all the houses were built into the mountain and were painted in the colors blue and white. There was a little market place, were people sold there fishes and vegetables. Though there were quite a few tourists in town, it was never crowded and Bridget really enjoyed walking through the little alleys and strolling through town with Kathy.
After they've had dinner at a small Greek restaurant, and Bridget had told her a lot about her 3 best friends, Kathy had gone out dancing. Bee hadn't want to come, she had still felt tired from her jet lag and had decided to go to bed early.
Now she was lying in her bed, it was nearly two in the morning and there was a thunderstorm over the island when Bridget suddenly woke up to.
She sat up in her bed and looked at her watch. She'd only slept 4 hours so far, but somehow she felt the need to get up and to do something.
When she switched the light on, she noticed that Kathy hadn't returned yet. Slowly she walked to the balcony and looked out into the night. It was very dark, except for a few flashes which lightened up the sky every few seconds.
Bee suddenly had to think about her mother, it had been a night like this, there had been a terrible thunderstorm when her mother had left in the middle of the night. She'd never returned.
Two days later a stranger found her dead body in her car, parked on a sidewalk in another town. She'd killed herself with an overdose of sleeping pills.
Bridget would never forget the moment when her dad had walked towards her, with a dead face, and had told her that the police had found her mom dead.
A tear was rolling down her cheek.
Vigorously she shook her head and turned around. She didn't want to think about it now.
Truth was, she generally avoided thinking about it, she felt like she couldn't deal with the enormous pain. It hurt her so much to think about her mom with the knowledge that she was never going to see her again.
Bee grabbed her clothes, put them on, and left the hostel.
The rain eased up after a few minutes, but soon Bridget was soaked up anyway. She didn't care. She started running after she'd left the hostel behind her. Running always made her feel better. It helped her to clear her head. For a few minutes she just kept on running, without thinking about something in particular. She didn't allow her mind to go back to that night 4 years ago.
Soon she left the small town behind her, and found herself on a deserted road, which headed along the edge of the island.
After ten more minutes she slowed down and kept on walking up a little hill next to the cliffs. She could see a small bench on top of the hill.
She sat down on it, with her legs pressed against her chest.
Bee looked around the place, a few miles a way she could see the lights of Oia, but the rest of the island was covered in darkness. It was still raining.
She laid her head on her knees and stopped fighting back the tears, which now started rolling down her cheeks without a sound.
"For no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now
Gonna look back in vain
And see you standing there
When all that remains
Is an empty chair
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now"
