Grace POV

The plane ride was too long before we finally landed. We went straight to the hospital. I was actually glad to see Justin with me. I knew that he would be able to see his family, plus he still fell like part of my family.

"I will be in there in just a minute." I said as we walked up to the hospital. My dad gave me a squeeze. Justin sent the other guard inside and stayed with me.

"She will be alright, Grace." he said and ruined my back. I was starting to panic. He knew that I needed a minute.

"I can't do this right now." I admitted.

"You can, and you need to. You need to see your sister." he said and I nodded. I knew that he was right. I nodded and stood up straighter. I walked in there and was immediately attacked by my little brother and sister. I picked them up and hugged them. June immediately hugged Justin and he smiled at her. He walked in there holding her and I had my little brother.

I walked in there and my mother looked horrible. My father was sitting on the bed next to her as he held her hand. I felt my heart break as I saw him trying to hold it together. We were talking when Justin's mom walked in the room. She was surprised to see all of and hugged him immediately. She hugged me, hugged my dad, and ushered my little brother and sister out. She was going to watch them right now. She didn't know that I was going to be in town so she insisted that I spend some time with my mother.

We were still there around 6 that night. My dad had only lost it once.

"I will stay with her tonight. Go stay with the other two." I told him. He looked at my mother and then me.

"Ok, but tell her how your life has been." he said as he tried to smile. I nodded as he left. Justin squeezed me and pointed out side. I knew that he would be outside the door. He was always good about giving me my space.

I sat down and took my mother's hand. She looked like a shell of herself.

"Hi Mom, I'm back for a few days. It's kinda hard to training to be a princess… I don't think I'm doing too well lately. I keep fucking up. I am trying so hard, but I keep failing. I don't really know what to do. I want to tell him so much that I love him, but I am afraid that he will reject me. I don't actually care about being the princess… I just want him." I said as I laid my head on the bed. I wished that my mother would wake up and tell me something, anything… I wanted her advice.

"Tell him." she said and my head shot up. I saw my mother looking at me out the corner of her eyes.

"Mom!" I said and kissed her cheek.

"Don't forget your family once you become famous… and tell them all that I love them." she said and took a deep breath. I was worried about my mom even more now.

"I love you, Grace. I love you no matter what." she said and closed her eyes. I waited for her to open them, but nothing.

"Mom?" I asked her and nothing… I felt panic rise in me.

"I love you, Mom." I sobbed. I felt it all happen in slow motion. The nurses rushed in and I was pulled out of the room. Justin grabbed me before I could get very far. He held me as I sobbed… my mom was gone.

Dean POV

Grace had only been gone for one day and I already missed her deeply. I knew that my father was already plotting how to keep her away, but I wanted her here so bad. I was working out when Seth came running into the room.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked him.

"Grace's mom passed." he said and I sighed. I wanted to be there with her. I needed to be there with her. I wanted her to know that she wasn't alone. I got up and immediately went to my mother's room. She agreed that I should go and would deal with my father. I was packed and ready to leave when my father met me downstairs.

"The only reason I am letting you go is because it will look good for the family. You come right back and leave her there." he said and I was getting annoyed.

"No." I said and walked past him without another word. I got onto the plane with Seth, my servants, and more guards. I wanted to be with Grace.

Grace POV

I finally went back to my house in the early hours of the morning. My father had gone to the morgue to make sure that everything was set up for my mother. I knew that he was stressing how to pay for everything. We pulled up and there were already guards outside. I didn't think anything of it. We walked in and I saw June and David sitting on the couch with another person. I was shocked to see Dean sitting on my parents house. He immediately stood up and hugged me. I was in shock, but managed to hug his back. I felt June and David grab my legs a second later. I sunk down the floor and held them as they cried. I felt Dean sit behind me and rub my back. I was glad that he was here for my darkest days.
