***Flashback***

Eleven year old Beca Mitchell and twelve year old Stacie Conrad were sitting on the porch of Stacie's house. The two girls were excitedly waiting for Beca's mom. Mrs. Mitchell would pick them up and go to the mall. They finally were going to buy the long desired mixing equipment. Beca's birthday was in two weeks and her parents finally agreed that she was old enough for such expensive equipment.

"Bec, you're mom is here" Stacie shouted exited.

"I know dude" she answered equally exited.

Mrs. Mitchell parked the car. But before the two girls could go over to her, a car slammed into Mrs. Mitchells car.

"MOM!" Beca screamed.

Mrs. Conrad who had been in the kitchen, stormed out of the house. She had seen everything from were she stood.

"No mom!" Beca screamed before collapsing.

***End of flashback***

It had been five years ago that Beca had seen her mother die before her eyes, but the memory was still as clear as the day it happened.

She had been grumpy all week. She barely had talked to her girlfriend. Chloe had noticed something was off, but every time the redhead had asked about it she had said that everything was fine. It was a lie. She was far from fine.

Today was just the worst day of the week. She dreaded to get out of bed today on the five year anniversary of her mom's dead.

But she knew she had to get up. Her dad wouldn't allow her to stay in bed all day. No matter how hard this day was for them both. Even though he remarried after three years, he would never forget Beca's mom. So she got out of bed and got dressed. She turned her phone off and left her house.

Her first stop was the florist. She bought a bouquet of lilies and headed for the cemetery. After placing the bouquet on her mom's grave she left.

She went to her special place in the woods. Today she wanted to remember her mom in peace.

This spot in the woods had always been a special place for her and her mom. Her mom used to take her here and they would have picnics together. Or she would pick flowers for her mom.

But today she was here to think of all the memories she had of her mom. She would never forget how sweet her mom was. Always encouraging Beca to follow her dreams. She would never forget the times she and her mom sang together. Her mom had loved music and Beca definitely inherited her love for music.

As much as she would never forget every detail of her mom, there were other things she would never forget.

The sound of the car slamming into her mother's car. The sound of shattered glass. The look on Stacie's face when it happened. Or how Mrs. Conrad came running out of the house still wearing her apron.

No matter how many years had passed since that fatal day, Beca missed her mom so much. She always wondered if her mom would be proud of her. If her mom would like the person she had become. Also she wondered if she had turned out a gothic if her mom would still be alive.

She had so many questions to ask her mom, but they would be unanswered forever. Those thoughts crushed Beca when she thought of her mom.

Instead of thinking about the questions she would never get an answer to, she decided to tell her mom about her life. Although her mom wasn't physically here, she knew her mom was always with her in spirit. So she closed her eyes and start talking out loud to her mom in heaven.

"Hey mom, I know it's been quite a time since I last talked to you. So much had happened the past few months. I became on of the most popular girls in school. Can you believe it? I can't believe it either. It all has to do with my new girlfriend. Yeah you hear that. Your introvert daughter has a girlfriend. And she is the best girlfriend. Her name is Chloe. The same girl you used to tease me with when I was younger. She really is a wonderful girlfriend and I think you would've liked her. She is fun, smart and caring. And she is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She really makes me laugh and she makes me happy. I think I really love her mom. At moments like this I wish you were here. I fucking miss you mom."

Just before she finished she felt arms wrapped around her body. Without opening her eyes she knew it was her girlfriend. She had recognised Chloe's scent.

She didn't bother to wipe away her tears or opening her eyes. The two of them just sat there together in peace.
