Olivias pov-
I wonder what happend.
_______
I'm frozen in shock.
Please no.
I'm suddenly thrown out from my paralization and im running.
My phone is still connected to my ear and my canvas is sucked under my left arm.
"Mama please slow down what has happend?" I ask more in a pleading way whilst getting into my drivers side seat.
"YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO CALL ME MAMA! THIS IS YOUR FAULT! YOU KILLED MY BABY,YOU KILLED MY MILLIE!" Mrs thomas (millies mum) screams from the other side of the phone.
I sink in my seat and let a few tears fall.
"im so sorry." I say between sniffles.
"You fucking should be aswell. They were coming to visit you. You. Olivia."
They?
"Wait who else was in the car?" I ask anxiously.
" Betty." She reply's and hangs up.
Betty. No no no no. Fuck!
I've just killed both of my best friends.
I slap my palm against the wheel in anger and cry softly into my arms.
I'm so sorry.
______________
I decided to drive back to New York ive already missed Millie's funeral and I wasn't going to miss Betty's.
I call mrs Jackson and she answers on the first ring.
"Hi ma'm," i say.
"Ma'm? She asks "since when did we go off mama hun?"
I didn't know how to answer so i stayed silent.
"It is mama to you and it always will be hon, you are like a second daughter to me." She says and it causes a tear drip down from my eye.
"Now get to the hospital I need to see that beautiful grown up face of yours." Hospital?
"Hospital? I thought Betty was dead why would she still be in the hospital?" I ask.
"Who told you that nonsense dear? Betty's in a coma." I breathe out a breath of happiness. She could live.
"I'm coming right now. I promise. I live you and i will see you there."
"Drive safe dear," she says worryingly.
____________
I arrive at the hospital not long after i ended the call with mama.
"Hello can i get Betty Jackson's room number please?" I ask the nurse when I approached the desk.
"Name and relation?" She asks not looking up.
"Olivia Harmon half sister." I reply.
" room 306" she says still not taking her eyes of from the screen.
I mumble a thank you before heading towards bees room.
When i walk in i have to cover my mouth to muffle my cries that threaten to escape my lips.
I rush over to my best friends pale and bruised body through blurred eyes.
I place her cold hand in mine and i repeate an 'I'm sorry' to her over and over.
I close my eyes as I couldn't bare to see her lifeless bruised and cut body any longer.
"What are you sorry for dear?" My head shoots up at the familiar voice ive been missing for 5 years.
I release bees hand and i run over to her mothers arms that she had put out for me to hug her.
I cry into her shoulder and she stokes my head gently saying re assuring words into my ear.
"im so sorry mama i did this I killed millie and I'm killing Betty. Mama im so sorry its all my fault" i sob into her more.
"Honey," she says pulling me away from her. "What made you think this way. This was not your fault. We're you the one that crashed into the girls car? No." She answers for me. "But were you the bestest friend they ever could have asked for. Yes. Yes you were olivia, they loved you with all their hearts." She answers for me again.
"But-but mrs Thomson said that i killed millie, they were coming to visit me mama." I say and pulls me into another hug.
My sholders shake more violently as i open my mouth but nothing comes out. Me and mama slide down so we are both ugly crying together.
I'm so sorry.
____________
For the past 3 months I've been back in New York visiting Betty pretty much every second i can get whilst also visiting my tree, millie and also landons little sister. Sofia.
"- and then i was like no you can mix red and the yellow bacuse it would make a shit i mean poo brown and then she threw the canvas at me." I laugh to my self.
"hey sofia what do you think I should do about your brother? I mean ive seen him about 3 times now but I don't know if he has seen me and i dont know if heh even wants to see me. It sounds pathetic really that im obsessing over a guy I haven't seen in 5 years but i mean the way he treated me when i thought it was my last day was, i dont know sofia." I check the time on my phone and realise that it was 9am. Visiting time.
"Ok sofia i have to go say hello to millie, mama and papa for me bye,"
____________
I reach the hospital and see mama crying. I drop my bag and rush over to her.
"I got the call, shes just died." She says not holding back her sobs.
I'm sorry.
____________
I'm snapped out from daze when i hear my name getting called out.
"Olivia Harmon has a few final words to say. Olivia?"
I stand up and walked towards the stand.
I look up at the people who attended the funeral all are dressed in brightly coloured dresses and funny coloured socks. Betty always used to joke about when she had her funeral she wanted everyone to dress up in bright colours. I'm wearing a neon yellow dress blue socks and a green blazer, whilst her mother is wearing a pink dress green socks and an orange cardigan.
"Well i just wanted to thank everyone for coming. Betty was my best friend. My sister. We grew up together and was really there for me when my parents died and i dont know what im going to do without my number one girl pal." I let a couple of laughs through even as tears were swarming my eyes.
"I love you my sister always and forever. Rest in peace."
