Meanwhile Margaret had come back from her walk, she couldn't believe that Becca had thrown her whole life away on something that would be over in a few months when she realised it could never work. Going into the kitchen she saw the letter that Becca had left, she had reservations about opening it but she did.
"Mum,
I'm sorry you feel the way you do about everything but if you're going to make me choose between you and Justin, Justin will win every time. I didn't expect you to be happy about it but I never thought you would go as far as to practically disown me because of it. I love Justin, it may be hard for you to understand that as he is sixteen. We have been through a lot over the past three years and before you think it been going on for two years, it hasn't, it started at Christmas. It's just throughout those three years we have know each other we have been through things that have just brought us close together. I can't help how I fell about him. I love him and always will. I just hope that one day you'll see how much and how happy I am.
Becca"
She realised that it was more than a fling, she decided that she would call Becca tomorrow and apologise for the way she acted.
