Chapter 14
Vicky
I didn't really know Becky too well. I mean, we talked and we did stuff together, but we never connected. But every time I was over there, Becky was so kind and welcoming. She was a great mother, wife and just a wonderful person. I was devastated when she passed away. All because of that terrible accident. It wasn't right. It never should've happened.
I remember Danny calling me at the hospital after he heard the news. I remember his voice. It was so sad and had no emotion in it. He wasn't crying though. That phone call will stay in my head forever...
"Vicky?"
"Danny? I miss you so much! How are you?"
"Vicky there was a terrible accident."
"Oh my god what happened? Is everyone ok? Are you ok?"
"I'm fine. The girls are fine. Nicky and Alex are fine. Jesse and Joey are fine. Vicky, there was a terrorist attack on Wake Up San Francisco. A terrible fire. Becky...she died."
I couldn't say anything. I just couldn't believe it. "Wha...how could this happen?"
"I almost died as well. The family went to the scene of the accident and found my body and brought it over to the hospital. Jesse found Becky's. They did some operations, but they lost her just an hour ago."
"Oh Danny," I began sobbing. "Danny this is terrible! I feel so awful."
"Jesse is taking it terribly, so is the rest of the family. Nicky and Alex don't quite understand it."
I felt as if someone had just knocked all the air out of me.
"Vicky?"
My voice cracked. "Yes Danny...I'm still here."
"Vicky I have to go."
"Danny...I'm so sorry."
"I know. Good bye Vicky."
Then he hung up. I cried for the rest of the night. I don't think it's fair that she had to go that young. She still had her whole life to live. I don't know why it happened. It wasn't meant to be.
Becky, though we never talked much, I miss you so much and I hope you are well. God bless.
All my love,
Vicky
