Clarisse found Mia sitting in the garder playing with her locket.
"wheres Nicholas?"
"gone to play basketball with grandpa Joe"
"mia i have some very sad news"
"what! what is it, are you ok?"
"yes im fine but im afraid this came today"
Mia read the letter Clarisse had just passed to her, not believing it she read it again until it registered. All Mia could do was sit and look into space.
"Mia...Mia"
"yeah?"
"do you want me to leave you alone for a bit"
Mia turned from staring into space to breaking out in tears.
"No grandma please dont leave me on my own"
Mia held tightly to her grandmother not wanting to let her go..
"its ok Amelia cry, cry your heart out its ok,ssh"
Mia shook violently as she sobbed into her grandmothers arms. Clarisse tried to calm her down but she couldnt seem to top the shaking.
"Grandma what am i going to do without my mom?"
"I know its no concellation but remember you have me, your not completly on your own"
"i know but my mom grandma my mother"
Mia cried again she didnt think she was ever going to stop. Clarisse never moved from her side. Holding her stroking her hair. Mia calmed down slightly but the sobbing didnt end.
