Chapter 13

Hello my readers! Hopefully this chapter, I'll get to 50. This is a big accomplishment to me, and the reviews make my day. AND thanks to Queen of Reality for editing. AND go check out JoelyandNileySupporter's series. Please. Also, I've decided to make Brooke (the fashion designer) an original character from now on. Brookieebabbyy has given me permission to add her into this story. Hope you like it!!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything, except Brooke (Mitchie's daughter). Brookieebabbyy owns herself.

"What?" I questioned, not believing what Caitlyn had said.

"Your mom is here. With Tess." Caitlyn explained. With Tess? With Tess?! Tess was here, with my mom?! What is wrong with this world!?

"Oh, I've always wanted to meet Tess! You talked about her a lot in your messages to me! Brooke jumped in.

"Y-Yeah…" I said.

"Do you want me to-"

"Michelle! Dear, what happened to you?" A familiar voice welcomed her self in. I cringed. Michelle.

"H…Hi mom…" I gawked. My mom barely looked different from 4 years ago. Unbelievable. I looked over at the figure standing beside my mom, Tess. She wasn't looking at me. She was looking at Brooke. And Brooke being all…well, Brooke, jumped up from the seat she was sitting in and walked over to Tess. Tess' face was pale, and she looked sick.

"Hi, I'm Brooke! You must be Tess." She greeted.

"Yeah, Hi." Tess shook Brooke's moisturized hand.

"So, how are you? Feeling alright?" Brooke asked.

"Why don't you ask Mitchie?" Tess shot a cold glance toward me. Shoot! Brooke turned to face me.

"Well…I…" I couldn't finish. I laid my head down on the pillow and closed my eyes. I wanted everything to fade away. I wanted Shane. I heard someone sigh.

"Aren't you going to give your mom a hug?!" Connie asked, sitting beside me. I looked at her. She was trying to hide hurt in her eyes, but I could still see it. I opened my arms up and she leaned into them. Her scent flew up to my nose. It was the smell that I was so used to. All the times when she'd tuck me into bed, tell me that everything was going to be okay, hug me like there was no tomorrow…Those were the times that I missed most. But now, I realized that her scent of all things was the most comforting and soothing thing in the world (Other then Shane of course). I can't exactly explain what it smells like, but something along the lines of honey.

"I've missed you so much baby girl." She said, pulling away from me. Tears were starting to build up in her eyes, and in mine as well.

"Um, we better leave these two alone you guys." Caitlyn told Brooke and Tess. I sent a weak smile, which Brooke and Caitlyn acknowledged, but Tess just ignored.

"See you later Mitchie." Brooke waved goodbye.

"Promise you'll be back?" I asked her. Okay, well I begged.

"I'm going to leave in about 20 minutes for that fashion show I was telling you about, but I'll be back after that if you want. I'm staying in L.A for another week, and then I'm going back to New York." She explained. I smiled graciously.

"Alright. I'll be out of this place in two days, so we can go somewhere and have fun!" I told Brooke.

"With Shane." She smiled and left. With Shane? Oh, jeez. Reality knocked me on the head, and I remembered my mom was still there. I turned to look at her and she was dabbing her eyes with a tissue.

"Hi mom." I said. Okay, that was really stupid. She smiled. Okay, so maybe not so stupid?

"Hi sweetie. Now, we both know that I'm here for a reason." She stopped.

"And that reason is…?"

"Brooke. Not Brooke your friend, but Brooke your daughter." She spoke clearly. Jeez, what is wrong with this world?!

"What about Brooke?" I asked.

"You're happy, right sweetie?"

"Of course I'm happy." I told her.

"And you know that you have a lot of things taken away from you because of her, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean…You know how you always wanted to be a singer? Well, now you can't do that because of Brooke. You know there are consequences and privileges to having a daughter, right?" Connie explained.

"Um, yes. Are you trying to push me away from loving Brooke or something mom?" I asked.

"No, of course not! I just want you to know that." She said.

"Okay, well then, yes, I know that." I told her. She smiled and gave me a hug. I couldn't wait till I got out of that place. I wanted to move around in freedom again, and talk to Shane and Brooke more.

Voila. Done. Okay, so I had this done for a long time, but I totally forgot. So, I started a new story called 'Video Girl' which is a hit! I just got a lot of reviews [[for me]], story alerts, etc. So, check that out. Review please.
