When Beck and Jade joined the rest of the group at the lunch table in the Asphalt Café, Beck told them about the situation with Lily and that his mother took her to a child psychologist. ''Is she ok?'' Tori asked worriedly. ''Not really'' said Beck, ''Well, there's something I haven't told you about Lily''.
''What is it?''
''6 months ago, my parents took us for a drive around town to visit my aunt. On the way back, they got into this huge argument and my dad lost control of the wheel. The car ran down a hill and a tree fell on us. My dad is in a coma and Lily has been traumatized since''
Everyone was left silent. Jade tried to hold back tears. Lily was like a little sister she never had. She wanted to cry for her friend having to cope with the aftermath of the car accident and her father's comatose at a young age. ''Beck, I'm sorry'' Tori said sadly. ''It's cool'' he said. ''Is she going to be ok?'' Andre asked.
''I hope so''
''And your dad?''
''I don't know''
Then, Jade got up from the table and walked away. ''What was that about?'' Andre asked.
Beck's mother was also affected by the car accident. She would often leave the house and go to the bar late at night leaving their maid Consuela to watch Lily. She decided that Lily should instead spend the night in his trailer for a few days.
''This is all my fault'' Beck's mother stood over at the counter island with her hand over her eyes.
''Mom,don't say that'' said Beck.
''It is, ok!?'' she asked a little louder, ''I caused the argument between me and your father and now it's like...I killed him''
Beck's mother started to cry. Beck put his hand on hers. ''Mom, we're going to be fine'' he assured, '' Dad's going to get through this''
''I'm not just worried about your father'' she said quietly, ''I'm worried about Lily''
''Beck, I need you to look after Lily'' she continued, ''She's only four and this is too much for her. She needs her brother''
Then, Lily walked in the kitchen. ''Hey, Lil. are you all packed up?'' Beck asked. ''Yes'' said Lily. Beck's mother motioned her to walk towards her and she knelt down to her level.
''You be a good girl and listen to Beck,ok?'' Beck's mother asked Lily and she nodded her head. She hesitated for a moment and made eye contact with her daughter.
''Bunny Rabbit, I'm so sorry for not being home as much as I should be. Mommy's just been really sad about what happened to daddy''
''Is that why you cry a lot?'' Lily asked.
''Yes, sweetie'' Beck's mother said. Lily hugged her mother.''It's ok, mommy. I love you'' she said.
''I love you too, Bunny Rabbit'' replied Beck's mother, ''Just remember that if you ever get scared, you can always come to me, daddy, or Beck''
She held Lily's face and kissed her forehead. Then, she stood up and Beck picked Lily up. ''Remember that when you invite Jade into your RV, I don't want you two-'' Beck's mother warned.
''Mom, I know'' Beck assured her, ''When we need privacy, I'll send Lily back here''
''Ok'' she agreed. She kissed Beck on the cheek before he took Lily's suitcase in his left arm and left the house.
