Chapter 2

"Daddy? Where is Mommy?" I asked in confusion. "Why are you crying, Daddy?"

My dad hugged me and said; "Mommy is in a better place now, sweetie." I didn't understood what he meant.

"I don't understand, Daddy." I said to him while I looked at him in the eyes. "Mommy is not coming back, Betty, honey." He said while fresh tears came streaming down.

"M…Mommy?"

Since that day, that memory kept following me. Every time I came to visit my mom, I remembered everything. What happened after my father said that. The tears, the long strong hug of my dad, me holding Mr. Cuddle tight, the painful silence and even the sound of the rain that was pouring outside. At the age of six, I didn't understand what 'death' was.

But after a couple of years, when I finally understood what my father meant that day, I finally cried my eyes out. I finally felt the pain my father felt. Losing my mother made me feel like my mother left without saying anything. A couple years later, I was finally ready to ask my dad what the cause was of her death. On a night that he didn't have to work, what was very unusual, he told me everything.

"She died of breast cancer." He told me with pain in his eyes. She was very sick and was already bald. "We were scared that you would be afraid of Mom, so that's why I didn't take you to her in the hospital… You were so young." He told me while his talking became more like whispering. "It was the best thing to do, sweetheart."

I was shocked and hurt, and I exploded. "SO YOU THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE AFRAID OF HER?!" I screamed to him, shocked by how hard I could yell. "OFCOURSE I WOUDN'T BE AFRAID OF HER, SHE'S MY MOM!'' I screamed again.

After a long, awkward silence and after I calmed down, I could talk normal again.

"Sorry, Dad. I didn't mean to yell, but I couldn't hold it in anymore." I said to him while I walked over to him to sit on his lap. "Sorry, Daddy. I know it's as hard for you as it is for me." I whispered now, giving him a hug while the tears streamed down my face. "Please don't hate me…" I whispered while I felt his tears falling onto my head.

"I would, never, ever hate you, Betty. You're the only woman in my life and the only one I would give my life for." He whispered in my ear. "Don't ever think that again, OK?" He said with a soft voice.

"Never, Daddy, never."

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I reached the grave of my mom. "Hi, Mom…" I whispered while I was laying the bouquet of roses before the gravestone.

'R.I.P. Rosa Maria Nena, 1970-2003' was what was engraved on the gravestone. I kneeled down while I stroked the name of my mom with the tips of my fingers.

"Mom, did you already found Dad?" I asked her. "I hope so. You can finally be together, happy. He really missed you." I told her, tears streaming down my face while I tightened my grip on Mr. Cuddle and my necklace.

"Look who I brought with me today, it's Mr. Cuddle." I showed the bunny to the gravestone before I lowered my arms again.

The reason I was attached to Mr. Cuddle was because I got this stuffed bunny from both my parents. I was four and my mom was already getting weaker by the day. So my parents decided to give me a present.

"Betty, we got a surprise for you." My Dad told me while he was smiling brightly.

"What is it, Daddy?" I asked in confusion.

"Here it is, sweetie." My mom said with a sweet, soft voice. "It's a bunny and I'll give him the name Mr. Cuddle." My mom told me.

I was really happy, like every kid at the age of four would be. It was a creamy colored bunny with round choclate brown eyes and a pink nose. His ears were flappy and long and he wore a hooked sweater. It was white with a big, red heart in the middle. "

I made that sweater myself." My mom told me. "Thank you, Mommy! It's the best gift I ever got!" I said while I hugged her.

Since then I always had Mr. Cuddle with me.

My necklace is another story. When my mother died, she said in her testament that I would get her necklace, a necklace that she inherited from her grandmother and she from her mother and etcetera. My mom never wore it because she thought she would lose it. The testament said that it was made in ancient times. It was a heart made of glass with a 3D flower in it. I think it's a lotus. The background behind the flower was ice blue while the flower was white with a ice blue diamond in the middle. I was totally amazed that it was mine now. I loved it and since then I've always worn it. It actually became a part of me.

"I was at the funeral today. There were all kinds of people who showed up. The colleagues of Dad, even the manager, family who I've never seen, aunt Lilly of course… Oh, I forgot to tell you that I won't be here that often anymore because I'm going to live with aunt Lilly. She said that she will try to drive me here a lot to let me visit you and Dad." I said with fake optimism. I couldn't be happy now.

"I really miss you, Mom… Would you please tell Dad that I miss him too? A lot?" I whispered, afraid that I could break down any moment.

"I love you, Mom and I love you too, Dad…" I whispered and said my last prayer before I stood up and pulled onto my Lolita dress I especially bought for this occasion. It was all black with a lot of bows, long sleeves and a collar that was totally sealed up to my chin.

I love Lolita, especially Gothic Loli. When I first tried this dress, it totally matched my feelings on that moment, all black. It also made me feel a little bit like a vampire. I love anime and manga. My favorite anime/manga is Vampire Knight. I have all the volumes, volume 1 to 15. I have the fanbook and two dolls. One of Zero Kiryu and one of Akatsuki Kain. My dad thought my obsession with Vampire Knight was cute. Oh, my dad...

Akatsuki Kain is my favorite vampire… He looks so wild. If I would ever get bitten by a vampire, it would totally be Akatsuki. I've wished a lot of times that I would be a character in Vampire knight. A noble vampire with elemental powers like air, water and nature powers. I would also name myself Melody instead of Betty, because I hate my name, literally hate it. Well, like that would ever happen…

I was brutally brought out of my thoughts when I bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry, Miss. Are you alright?" A melodic voice said.

So that was chapter 2! I hope you guys liked it! It's definitely longer than the first chap, so I'm pretty proud of myself. (*^o^*)
