female reader as: Beatrice
Age: 9
Beatrice POV
"wake up bee, you gotta go to school" my mom said shaking me slightly
"morning momma" I said yawning and she smiled and left the room
I got up and brushed my teeth, changed my clothes and finished packing my black and yellow backpack, I love bee things probably because it's my nickname. everybody I know calls me bee that it's short for Beatrice, and actually is how I pronounced my name when I was a baby!!
I put my brunette curls on pigtails before taking my bag and walking down the stairs to the kitchen
"you made pancakes!!!!" I said happily as I saw my moms pancakes
"it's going to be the best day ever mommy! first you did pancakes and today at school we are doing our final rehearsals for the spring recital! im so exited because im going to dance that dance cam teached me, I bet he's going to love seeing it on stage" I said really happily
"talking about him, go wake him up so he can eat the pancakes while they are still hot" mom said and I nodded placing my apple juice on the counter and walking upstairs all the way to my brothers room
I opened the door to see him sleeping in a strange position with his front facing the wall , he always sleep in those crazy positions
He's silly!
"cam!! wake up momma made pancakes!" I said shaking his back but he didn't make a sound
"wake upp!!" I said louder and turned him so I could see his face, when I saw his face all I did was scream as loud as I could as terror fulfilled my eyes
"MOMMAAAAAAAAAA" I screamed again now tears flowing down my cheek at the saw of my brothers face all purple with multiple veins popped up on his forehead as his eyes were wide open
the room door flew open when my mom and dad got in and my mom screamed which scared me even more if that was even possible
did I just killed my brother? maybe if I had shook him more slightly he would be okay. maybe if I didn't made him help me with that stupid dance yesterday he would be alright. but that doesn't matter, he's gone
I ran to my room slamming the door and hiding under the bed as my moms loud screams and sobs were terrifying and my dads sobs were very audible too
I was a crying mess under my bed hugging my honey plushie that cam gave me on my birthday
for the next hour I stayed under the bed loudly sobbing as I got even more scared and vulnerable when I heard and saw police sirens in front of out house and loud people making loud noises that I absolutely hate
I can't even explain my feelings at this moment I could only sob and cry and hiccup, until it was too much and I quickly got out of bed but it was useless, I threw up on my bathroom door because I couldn't control the urge to puke
feeling embarrassed I crawled back under my bed hoping I could hide from my memories of his dead body, and the fact that my parents didn't even bothered about me for the last 3 hours, and the fact that there are lots of strangers on my house, and the fact that my best friend just died
i was so drained of crying that I just fell asleep under my bed, now my room smells like puke but I don't know how to clean it I just want to stay here!
dove pov
Sofia is spending some time in my house this week because first, I live alone so it wouldn't matter and second, we have descendants 3 interview on Saturday and I live on LA like cam and boo but she doesn't, so she's staying some time here so she doesn't need to be in a hotel
we are watching some horror film in the couch now and I'm thinking about inventing the cast to come have dinner since they all are here in LA
"what if we call them all for dinner what do you think?" I asked sof
"I think they'll love the idea I just don't know what we're going to cook" she said
"um I don't know too, we can order a pizza tho it's wayyy easier" I said and she nodded
"well it's already 5pm, I'll call cam first, he lives the nearest" I said and picked up the phone
calling
calling
calling
when he didn't picked up I felt something, I can't explain but I felt the extreme feeling that something isn't right
until cam picked up the phone
"hey cam!! you al-" I stopped my sentence when I heard little hiccups
"dovie?" a trembling voice said and I immediately knew it was bees voice, I love this girl so much she's almost my little sister
"hey honeybee!! you okay?" I asked softly
"n-no" she replied and it followed by a sob and my face softened and Sofia frowned and mouthed for me to put on speaker, so I did
"what happened honey?" I asked
"cam- he- the people here are loud and sirens and and he purple" she mumbled and stopped by crying harder shattering mine and sof heart
"hey bee it's sofia I'm here too! you wanna FaceTime?" sofia said
"y-yeah" she whispered and we clicked on FaceTime that she accepted quickly and we saw that her face was puffy and red with her hair all messy on her face, it looked like she was under the bed I don't know but I'm concerned, I can feel that something is terribly wrong
"why you crying bee? and why are you with cam phone?" I asked
"my head and my eyes hurts!" she mumbled
"it's probably because of your cry's honey, can you pass the phone to cam?" sofia said and the girl shook her head and more tears fell down her little chubby cheek
"he isn't here, neither do mommy and daddy! they forgot me here and went to the hospital" she said
"why are they at the hospital?" I asked
"they are trying to save Cameron, but I know that they- they can't save him- his gone dovie! he left me forever!" she said and sobbed again, my eyes fulfilled with tears
"what do you mean?" I said
"I saw him, he was purple and his eyes were open but he wasn't breathing, he is dead and I'm so scared I don't want to be alone here with this creepy guys I want my brother!" she said and I couldn't do this I passed my phone to Sofia and threw my head on a pillow and started sobbing myself
"honeybee you think we can come over?" I heard sof asking
"come please I'm scared!" she said and Sofia nodded and hung up the phone and let out a hiccup and hugged me
"is it true?" I asked
"we have to go there to discover, let's go we can't leave a 9 year old alone in a house" she said and put some shoes on and helped me up, we both cleaned out faces just so we don't terrify her anymore
she drives to his house and the first thing we saw was police cars and lots of police officers in and outside the house and I froze feeling my breath hitch
"dove take some deep breaths okay?" Sofia said standing her hand out for me to grab which I gladly accepted
"I f-feel a panick attack sof" I whispered and started hyperventilating, she experienced lots of them before so isn't something new to her
she helped me to start breathing again and a couple of minutes later I was okay, we got out of the car aproaching the house
"hey hey ma'am we can't let you get over this point we are in a middle of a investigation here" the officer said not letting us in the house
"we're here to try and calm down the nine year old that is sobbing on her room alone!" I said and the officer frowned
"there isn't any child here ma'am"
"yes there is her name is Beatrice and if you let us go in we can get her out of there so excuse us" I said and he let us in, the amount of people inside made my stomach turn as I approached bees room
we walked inside and we were met with a terrible puke smell
"bee, where are you?"I asked and I saw Sofia point to a little puddle of puke on the floor, I walked more to the room and saw a yellow all star shoe under the bed shaking a little
I crawled under the bed with her and shook her shoulder making her face me, I was met with terrified eyes and her red puffy face with hazel curls glued to her forehead
"It hurts dovie" she said
"what hurts baby?" I asked trying my harder to contain my tears
"everything, my chest, my eyes, my head, my back and even my stomach. I can't stop crying since this morning, everytime I try to sleep it off I saw him all again! I'm scared dovie I'm so scared!! I want to cry but I can't anymore I think I don't even have strength to do that" she said and if I wasn't already shattered I was now hearing her mumbled in pain
"honeybee where are your parents huh?" Sofia asked on the other side of the bed, I didn't even saw her crawling here
"when I saw him I ran here on my bed and then I couldn't stop crying and I started to feel sick and I didn't have time to go to the toilet so I ended up
throwing up on the door, i heard the police sirens and ambulance sirens and then my dad came here and told me they are going to the hospital but he didn't even saw me. They went out at like 9 am and I've been alone since then" she said and shifted to my side before I wrapped her in a hug
"let's do this honey, we're gonna pack you some things and you can spend the night at my house with us. I don't think is a good idea to stay here okay?" I said and she nodded
"let's get out of here then" sof said and we all went out the bed, I picked the girl up. Even tho she's 9 she's small and a lightweight just like her brother wa- I can't
"you're tired aren't you?" I whispered on her ear
"no! I can't sleep I need to know if his coming back! Dovie I can't sleep put me down" she started kicking her legs trying to get down but I only held her closer now tears were fulfilling my face
"honey you were here the whole day, take a nap and after you gotta eat something because I assume you haven't eaten anything today am I right?" I said and felt her nod
"then close those cute eyes bee, if anything happen I will wake you. I promise" I said and soon enough I felt her sleeping body and slow breathing and a sob escaped my mouth as I saw Sofia curled up on the floor holding bees yellow bag crying harder than I ever saw her cry
for the next minutes we comforted eachother trying not to wake the child up and now we are on my car on my way to my house, I called her parents and they thanked me and told me the truth. He had a epileptic attack while sleeping which made him die in his sleep
we walked inside my apartment and I rested the kid on the bed and hugged the crying Sofia as tight as I could
"I can't believe he isn't here anymore sof, I can't" I sobbed on Sofia shoulder, only to hear her own sobs. For the next two hours we just cried on eachothers until we both fall asleep on the couch
I was sleeping until I heard a loud thud followed by glass shattering which made me wake up quickly and I heard crying that made me remember that Beatrice is here and I went on panic mode. I ran to the kitchen and saw bee on the floor with glass shattered around her and a fallen chair by her side, looking down I saw blood running down her knee
"what happened bee?" I said and picked her up taking her out of the broken glass
"I was hungwy a-and thirsty I wanted to grab the glass and I couldn't reach it I-I tried to climb the chair but the chair fell and I broke the glass I'm so sorry Dovie don't be mad please!" she said in between sobs and my heart melted
"it's okay honeybee it was just a glass come here let's bandage this knee okay?" I said while walking to the bathroom and placing her on the counter
I reached the first aid kit on the cabinet and I looked down to see some little pieces of glass on her hurt, okay I will absolutely not be able to do that I can't deal with this amount of blood I need to get Sofia here
"bee, I think Sofia will be able to heal this better so I will bring her here okay? I'll be back soon" I said walking out of the bathroom and going to the living room to find a asleep Sofia
Sofia POV
I felt something shook my shoulder
"sof wake up I need help" I heard dove saying and I got up
"what happened?" I asked now concerned
"bee hurted herself trying to reach a glass and now her knee is bleeding and I don't know what to do" dove said and I heard some whimpers and hiccups coming from the bathroom
I got up from the couch and we both walked to the bathroom to see bee sat up on the counter with her knee bleeding and the blood drop was literally reaching her shoes
"help me sofie it hurts so bad!" she said
"it's okay honey I've already hurted myself like this before and it's all better now" I said and she nodded
"dove do you have a eyebrow tweezer?" I asked and she nodded opening the cabinet and handing it for me
"kay so, bee I'll need to take this little glass piece out of your knee and this may hurt a little bit you can hold dove hand as tight as you can okay?" I said and she started to cry again
"no, no it will hurt no" she said almost placing her hand over her hurt but I held her arm so she wouldn't
"you can't touch it baby your hand is dirty, you know what, come here let's go to the couch so dove can pick you up it'll be easier" I said and grabbed the supplies as we all walked to the couch
dove sat on the couch and placed the kid on her lap while hugging her, I sat on the floor I front of her bleeding knee. dove held her and her leg and I took the tweezer and started to take the pieces of glass out, gladly there were only two of them and bee didn't felt so much pain
"now I'm gonna clean it okay baby? I need you to be really still Kay?" I said and she nodded with her knuckles turning white from the grip she's having on dove
I cleaned the dry blood on her leg and around the wound, but now it was time to pass the desinfectant wipe over it and I did as quick as I could and she almost screamed and started sobbing all again
"that's it baby you're being so brave!" dove praised as I finished bandaging it and lastly I kissed over the bandage
"all done honeybee, is all done now I promise. Now let's take off this school clothing and put some Jammie's come here" I said and she was now only sniffling and she loosened her grip on dove and came to the bedroom with me where i helped her change into her pajamas and take her hair ties off
"do you think the doctors saved him sofi?" she asked softly while I tucked her on dove guest bed and I froze, tears welling up my eyes at the thought of Cameron
"honeybee, now you'll need to be a really brave girl just like you were some minutes ago okay?" I said and her hazel eyes welled up again
"he's dead isn't he?" she asked and I nodded calmly before pulling her to my chest, ugh all I want to do is protect this kid from everything and everyone she's so young to go though this type of trauma
"so that means I'll never see him anymore?" she asked again
"bee now he is the brightest star that shines on the sky and every single time you look up he's right there looking down at you" dove said as she entered the bedroom and sat on the bed
"but he will be a star, I want my human brother back! please I'm sorry" she said and placed her hands on her face
"there's no need to apologize bee, it wasn't your fault, it was an accident a pretty bad one but it was not your fault I can assure you that" I said but she shook her head
"I heard the officer saying that it could be twigered by stress and I've been with him yesterday the whole entire day and he got tired of me!" she said and kinda mumbled the word 'triggered' probably finding it hard to pronounce
"baby it- wasn't your fault okay? just remember that and-" dove started to say but she couldn't contain her sobs anymore as she started to cry all again, bee eyes widened while looking at the crying dove and she started shaking and cuddling closer to me and climbing onto me until her face rested on my shoulder
"she's mad at me?" bee whispered on my ear
"she isn't honey she's just missing your brother, he was our best friend and we will miss him a lot just like you will" I tried to explain
"why did this happened? he was okay a-and we were having pancakes and we were playing and I want him sofie please I don't wanna be alone! who am I playing with now? who am I gonna hug when I have nightmares? who am I gonna ask for help on my homework? I need him sofie please please!" she said and I had absolutely no idea in what to answer
"you will not be alone okay? I went though something really similar when I was fifthteen when my dad died, I thought that- I thought that I would be alone forever but I am not, I found so many great people that are with me and helped me though my lost." dove said with tears running down her cheek
"but it doesn't hurt anymore?" bee asked her
"it does bee, it hurts and I think it always will hurt but it will be less painful as time goes by" she replied stoking the smaller girl arms
Author POV
for the rest of the week bee spent time here because she refused to go back to her house, she's been having nightmares everyday with seeing his dead body in front of her and everyday she's sleeping with her sisters, I mean dove and Sofia that turned into her sister
today is his funeral, and the day bee needs to go back to her house. They helped her get ready and everything and now they are walking inside the ceremony, everybody on that room was in tears and the whole Internet is grieving too since their family already told the media
Beatrice herself now was forced to understand death and grief and both girls had to help the child while they were trying to deal with the grief themselves
Dove is dealing with constant panic attacks remembering her teenage years.
Tears were spread in each and every one person on that room.
grief is a hard feeling to feel, one of the most painful ones and it's hard to understand it when you're 9. but thankfully you have nice siblings to be there for you, not all siblings are blood related
