Chapter 19: iBreak Up
It was another day at the Benson house, Carly grinned to herself as she began to walk towards the stairs, passing Rachel's room as she did so.
'It's hard to believe time is passing so fast, almost a year now since, since...' He thoughts trailed off when she heard something.
The grin faded from her face as she stopped, listening, she could hear Rachel in her room, crying.
'Oh no, Rachel, please, don't let it be...' Carly thought to herself, worriedly.
She stood for a moment, unsure if she should go in and talk with her youngest daughter or not. Rachel might want privacy, but, hearing the girl sobbing, Carly couldn't help it. She needed to help Rachel, or at least, she should see if Rachel at least wanted help before assuming anything.
"Rach?" She said softly, gently knocking on the door.
There was a pause, and then Rachel's voice.
"M-mom..."
Carly's heart ached, hearing how broken Rachel sounded.
"Can I come in?" She asked.
Another pause, then Rachel choked out. "Okay."
Biting her lip, Carly cautiously entered the bedroom.
Inside she found Rachel, lying face down on the bed, crying non-stop, the curtains were closed and the room was dull.
"Sweetie?" She queried softly, sitting on the side of the bed.
Sobbing and finally lifting her head up, Rachel looked over at her mother.
"Mom, I...I..." She whispered through the tears.
Carly shook her head, gently touching Rachel's shoulder. "What's up?"
Rachel sniffled and was quiet for a moment, before admitting. "It's Bill..."
"What'd he do?"
Carly was worried, Rachel and Bill had been getting along so well, for him to have upset Rachel like this.
'If he hurt her...' Carly found herself thinking.
But then Rachel revealed the truth. "We broke up, we were arguing so much and now, now it's over, our last fight was so bad, I...I..."
She couldn't say anything else, instead breaking down. Carly grimaced, realizing; she quickly helped Rachel up and hugged her tightly. Rachel continued to sob into her mother's shoulder.
It was some time later that Freddie found Carly, seated on the sofa, looking worried.
"Carls?"
She turned to him, frantic. "Oh Freddie, I don't know what I'm gonna do, Rachel's still shut up in her room, it's been almost a day now..."
"Wow, that's..." Freddie gasped. "Jeez..."
"Yeah."
There was a brief pause, then finally Carly shook her head.
"She and Bill looked so happy, I can't believe they, were did it go wrong?" She burst out.
Freddie bit his lip, before remarking. "Carls I...I think...I know it works that way for some people. But maybe, maybe they rushed into things, maybe that's..."
"Maybe." Carly agreed sadly.
However, whatever the cause, they knew right now, their only focus should be finding out how to help Rachel. They had tried calling Bill, but he merely confirmed what Rachel said, nothing more. They were lost, unsure.
It was therefore a surprise to them that, an hour of so later, Rachel finally emerged from her room, her eyes were red, but otherwise she seemed alright.
"Rach…?" Carly began, uncertain.
Rachel managed a small smile. "Hey mom."
Shaking her head Carly tried to ask. "Are you..?"
"I'll be fine." She insisted.
Carly bit her lip, worried, but relieved Rachel was out of her room at least. That was the first step towards finally moving on.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
