AU: This chapter's a bit of an odd one, it needs to be in, but it seems to short to stand alone but it won't sit with the surrounding chapters, so if you were after something longer and a little more substantial, I apologise. It gets better ;)
Thank you all for your reviews too - they're all very much appreciated.
Chapter 8

Hey Mrs Miller,
How's things? I hope you're holding out alright.
I know it's rough right now, but I guess things will turn around for you and Molly. I hope they do. You and her don't need anyone on your case all the time, and whatever's happened between you and Alex I'm sure it was a mistake – everyone makes them. I wish I could get over to see you and her. I've just had a bit of a tough time of things myself lately. I guess there's only so long you can ride the train before you derail. I've crashed pretty hard by the looks of things – crashed it rather than crushed it I guess you could say. I've just got home from hospital – BLVD Club don't like you fainting whilst at work apparently. Who knew a 50 hour week isn't healthy? Anyway, its nothing serious. I'll pull through. And you will too. As soon as I'm feeling better I'll come to Florida. I miss my little goddaughter. Hope her Bach's coming along nicely. Keep your chin up. B x

Bree,
Beca's just emailed me. She's lost her job at the club, and it sounds like she's still sick. Do you think I should fly over there?

To: Chloe Beale
Are you insane? You've just started to work things out with Alex. After what happened between you, him and Beca I think you should leave her out of the equation for a while.
And I'm pretty busy today at the office, so I can't keep getting back to you like this. Sorry.
Sincerely,
Aubrey Posen, attorney at law

Bree, she sounds pretty down. She's got no job, and there's probably nobody to look after her there, I don't think she's with her boyfriend anymore. She needs her friends.

Shit. Can't get any flights in the next week or so that aren't less than my entire months wages. I'll ring you later – Molly just got back from school with a face like thunder. Boy troubles by the looks of things…
