Chapter 11
"Gabs", Chad said, "Give me your keys, I'll unlock the door, your shaking like mad"
Gabi gave a small smile and gave him the keys. He unlocked the door and then stepped out the way so Gabi could walk in first. She took a deep breathe and walked into the lounge room. The first thing she noticed was the faint smell of her mum's favourite perfume and her famous home made cookies. She walked to the kitchen where her mum had written her a note, which read:
Dearest Gabriella,
If you're reading this then I haven't come home from work yet. There is some left over lasagne in the fridge. All you have to do is put it in the oven. I also made some of your favourite M & M cookies. Take some over to Chad's and send him and his family my love. You are most welcome to stay at his place tonight and I will see you tomorrow after school.
Love you heaps baby girl.
Mami

Gabi screwed up the note and chucked it on the floor, she sunk to the floor crying. Chad walked in and saw her crying.
"Gabs?"
She looked up to see Chad standing over her. She held her hand out, which Chad grabbed and pulled her up into a hug. After 10 minutes or so, Gabi let go and walked into the backyard and dangeled (sp?) her feet in the pool. Chad walked out behind her and sat beside her.
"Gabs", he said softly, "You really have to start preparing your mums funeral"
Gabi flinched at the word.
"How am I going to pay for it all?" she asked, "I have no money to prepare for a funeral"
She leaned into Chad who wrapped his arms around her.
"We'll figure someting out"
That was a really short chapter, but I have no idea what else to write. Please R & R and give me some ideas
