I'm the worst daughter.
I love you.
I miss you.
I'm sorry.

But I'm okay I promise.
I'm sorry.

Willow
God fine

WILLOW IS CALLING...
ANSWER?

"Willow?"

"No, this is Patrick," Willow replied dryly.

"Oh, funny," her dad replied equally as dry. "What's your deal, kid? You never used to push me away like this."

Willow paused, letting out a soft sigh. She glanced around her penthouse, hating the quiet now that she was alone. Frankie had gone to nap and they'd taken Robert to the airport that morning.

Pedro left an hour prior, promising to return but "was in dire need of clothes."

"I'm sorry," Willow clenched her jaw, trying not to cry. She didn't want to cry anymore. She wanted to be strong. "I—it's hard to face you. For real. I feel like...I don't know, like Mom's just a call away but if we talk about her then—then she's..."her voice cracked and she blinked furiously, trying to master her breathing.

"Oh, honey," he sighed on the other end. "I know. It's—it's been weird. I keep pulling out my phone to text her. She always—" his voice cracked and it tugged at Willow's heart. She hadn't though of how much pain he'd be in after her death. He was grieving too. "—she always vetoed plots to bad movies and now she's not here and it's just...wrong."

Willow sniffled, sitting down on the sofa and taking in a breath. "Yeah. Me too."

"It's not your fault. Do you know that?"

Willow choked back a sob, wishing she could see him in person. "I—Dad..."

"It's not your fault, Willow," he said sternly. "I know everyone is telling you otherwise and I know you blame yourself because there's no one else to blame, but the truth is, honey, it was an accident."

"I was drunk," Willow cried out. "I was high and drunk and veered us off the road. They were—they were right. I—I was driving."

"Oh, peanut," his voice softened. "That's—I'm so sorry."

"So when people say I should be in jail or dead or that it's my fault — they're right. I should be and it is. I—I killed Mom."

"Willow, listen to me and listen to me right now," he cut her off. "Should you have been driving under the influence? No. And it—she's gone. And that's not fair, that's not—but it's not—it's not..."

Willow nodded when his voice drifted off, her words making their impact. It was the reason she hadn't spoken with him much since the accident. Everyone claimed it wasn't her fault — but they were wrong.

She couldn't remember much from that night, just her mother dying and Dominik's empty eyes. But James was there — he'd told her. As cruel and manipulative as he could be — why would he lie about it?

He'd saved her from being arrested, bought the cops off. He'd saved her life that night, and she'd taken the lives of two people she loved most in the world.

"Your mom wouldn't blame you."

Willow wiped the tears from her cheek at her dad's words after a few minutes of silence.

"Yes she would. She'd call me an idiot and put me in rehab."

"Yeah, well, rightfully so, you did get her killed, honey."

Willow couldn't help but laugh at her dad's poor sense of humor.

"Dad, that's awful."

"She'd find it funny."

"Yeah," Willow laughed again. "She would."

"You can't blame yourself. Just understand that it happened and work past it," he continued seriously. "You have a second chance. Your mom doesn't. She'd want you to make the most of it. Put the bottle down, stop going to parties, keep hanging with Pedro, I like him. He's much better than James. Kid is garbage."

"Rob says the same thing," she smiled. "Maybe I should listen to you guys."

"For once in your life? I'd say so."

"I like Pedro too," Willow added with a small smile. "A lot. He's...calm. And good. And makes me laugh."

"Good." She could hear his smile through the call. "If he doesn't have a sense of humor, he shouldn't date a Sandler."

"Yeah, yeah, heard you the first million times."

"I love you, peanut. Please be safe. And text me at least once a week, shit, I just worry about you."

"Okay," Willow laughed lightly. "I will, I'm sorry. I didn't — I...thank you for not being mad."

"I've never been mad at you for your entire life, Will. You could never make me angry. I'm proud you haven't given up and that you're not going back there. Keep making good decisions and keep your head up."

"Okay, I will. I'll talk to you soon."

"See you, kid."

"Bye."
