Chapter (when she was just) seventeen

Another round of Rachel's memories :D I like writing these :3

-----------

"Papa?"

"Rachie? Is that you, sweetheart?"

"T-There's a storm outside."

"Come here, sweetheart. I'll keep you safe."

"Papa I-I'm scared. I don't like storms."

"Don't be scared, princess. Papa's here and you've got nothing to worry about."

"Mommy says I'm not a princess..."

"Hmm?"

"She says princesses are girls and that I'm a boy. Boys can't be a princess."

"You can be whatever you want to be, Rach. Your mummy is just a bit.... stubborn sometimes."

"I can... I can wear dresses?"

"Of course! Why not? You'll be princess Rachie and I'll be king Eppy!"

"I like being a princess, papa! But... Won't mummy get upset?"

"Jus' be whatever you want to be, baby girl. I'll take care of mommy for you."

"Thanks papa. I love you."

"Love you too, princess. Now let's wait for the storm to pass."

-------------

"I'll always be here for you, princess."

--------------

"Yoko, she's a girl! Let her be whatever she wants to be."

"No! Richard is a boy and will always be a boy!"

--------------

"M-Mummy? Papa?"

"Hey darling, did we wake you up?"

"I-I heard yelling...."

"Shh, go back to sleep okay, baby?"

"O-Okay..."

-------------

"She's a girl and will always be a girl, Yoko."

--------------

"It's just a phase, Brian. Richard would get over it."

------------

"Papa! I'm heading over to Paulie's, is that okay?"

"Okay sweetheart, have fun."

--------------

"Brian? Brian I'm home---- BRIAN!"

-------------

"I'm sorry Mrs. Starkey, there was nothing else we could do."

"H-How did this happen?"

"He had overdosed on sleeping pills."

"Sleeping pills?"

"I'm sorry, ma'm."

"N-No.."

(A/N I looked it up, Eppy had really overdosed on sleeping pills.)

------------

"Mummy? Where's daddy?"

"He.... He won't be back, Richard."

"Mummy... It's Rachel---"

"You are Richard and you will always be Richard!"
