Scared
Bea asked Allie to drive because She was so nervous she didn't trust herself behind the wheel. They have been diving for 2 hours now and Allie still didn't know what happened all she knew was something with Debbie.
She never saw Bea like this and she didn't know rather to ask or let her settle in her thoughts.
"Bea?" Allie tried to get Bea'a attention while she watched the road in front of her
"Huh?" Bea came out of her thoughts
"What happened? What happened to Debbie"
"She mentioned it to me before by I never thought It was this bad. I should have listened to her... am I a bad mother??" Bea began to panic
"Bea it's okay calm down.." Allie placed a hand on Beas thigh, making her calm instantly "what exactly are you talking about hun?"
"Debbie she told me about this boy she was seeing at her school ... she told me that he had offered her drugs.. she denied it of course.. but when I got that phone call she told me that He had tried to force her again and..." Bea took a deep breath. Allie rubbing her leg
"She denied it and tried to get away and that's when he came after her. He hit her and now she's in the hospital, I don't know how serious it is but.. it's all my fault!" Bea began to sob
Allie pulled over on the side of the road and pulled Bea as close as she could give her a tight hug.
"Bea it's not your fault.. how could u know what he was trying to get her into. I know how bad drugs are .. from experience and I wouldn't want Debbie near them. Trust me Debbie is a smart girl and that's why she didn't take them" Allie wiped a tear from Beas face.
"It's not only the Drugs.. I don't want Debbie to be in a horrible Relationship that I was in... fighting for your life.. taking pain I don't want her to end up following my path" Bea sobbed hard into Allies shoulder
Allie placed her forehead on Bea's looking her
In the eyes.
"Listen to me, she's learned and she knows what you went through she won't end up with that jerk that just put his hands on her, trust me Bea"
Bea shook her head taking in the words Allie just spoke to her wiping her tears. She leaned in and gave Allie a light kiss on the lips
"Your right. Sorry for getting your shirt all wet " Bea said with a little smile
"Don't apologize babe, let's get going I'm sure Debbie would want her mom by her side" Allie said as she pulled the car back into traffic.

After a silent 5 hour drive they arrived at the hospital, Allie leaving Bea and Debbie to short things out as she went to get them all coffee.
"Mom.." Debbie said as she held Her moms hand
"Yes "
"When He hit me I had a flash back of you laying on the floor.. it scared me.. I didn't mean to scare you.. I know I'm not hurt besides the swollen eye.. but I was scared." Debbie said wiping her tear
"Debbie it's okay. I wouldn't care if its a small cut. I will always come running for you. I'm so glad you denied those drugs.. who knows .. it could have been worse. I just want you to know I'm proud of you. And I would never want you to have to fight for your life in a hospital bed because of a man.. I know how bad that can be and I don't want you to go through that.. I love you to the moon and back" Bea said kissing her daughters head.
"I love you too.. mom I'm scared to go back on campus what if he comes back for me?" Debbie asks
"Don't worry you can come live with us.. and we will sort a thing out with the school he should have drugs on campus grounds anyway." Bea said as she saw Debbie smile in reply
" I have your coffees" Allie said walking carefully with 3 cups of coffee in both hands trying not to spill them
Bea takes her and Debbie's coffee out of Allies hand and hands it over.
"Thanks babe" Allie winked at Bea. "So you okay Debbie looks like he got you in the eye?"
"Yes I'm okay just hope the swelling goes down. I cant give you a run for your money with a swollen eye now can I?" Debbie laughs along with Allie. " I hope when I get older I still look as good as you"
"aye I'm taken young one" Allie jokes. "But you have your mother traits I'm pretty sure you will end up looking just as beautiful as your mother"
Bea begins to blush. "I'm right here you know"
"Aww mom you looking like a teenager" Debbie says pushing her mom playfully.

They all headed over to Debbie's room on campus to collect some of her clothes because she would be staying with them for a while.
Once everything was packed they placed it in the car.
"Can we get some food I'm hungry" Debbie says as she gets in the car
"Make that two of us." Allie agreed
"You guys are always hungry" Bea rolling her eyes at the two.
"I can go for a ice cream Sunday too aye?" Allie adds And Debbie agrees with her
"You act just like a teenager Allie. Surprise you and Debbie aren't best buds yet"
---
As they ate Bea sat and watched Allie and Debbie compete in who can eat the most ice cream. Allie and Debbie ending in a tie.
"You guys are going to have a upset stomach on the ride home and I don't wanna hear non of it" Bea says to them both
"Okay mommm" Allie and Debbie says following with a high five
"You two together it's gonna kill me " Bea laughs
She love seeing her lover and her daughter bond it was Something she always wanted it made her warm and happy at the same time. This is a moment she would never want to lose or forget. Allie sensing Bea watching and smiles at her in return
"Okay guys lets get going we have a ride ahead of us"
As they where driving Debbie had fallen asleep leaving Bea and Allie alone in their thoughts
"Allie I love how you get along with Debbie. I just wanna say thank you for being here and changing both of our lives " Bea said looking at Allie as she drove
" don't thank me Bea I love being here, it makes me feel like I have the family I always wanted.. I love you Bea and everything about you.. I promise I'm not going anywhere" Allie said smiling from ear to ear.
"I love you to Beautiful girl" Bea replied and leaned over to place a kiss on Allies cheek.
Leaving her lips tingling along with Allies face.

They finally arrived at the house. Debbie taking her bags up to her room and falling into a deep sleep while Allie went to take a shower.
Bea headed up the the stairs turning off all the lights in the house. She made her way to her room slipping out from her outfit she wore and into some shorts and tank top. She sat up in Bed waiting for Allie to join her
Allie closed their room door. Seeing that the redhead had fallen asleep sitting up, Allie walks over to Bea and lays her down on her back placing the big red blanket ontop of her. Turning off the lamp Allie slid into Bed with Bea wrapping her arms around her and placing her head on Beas chest. Bea pulled Allie closer
"Good night beautiful" Bea said in almost a whisper
"Night Baby" Allie replied
Allie loved falling asleep in Beas arms she felt safe and at home. She took in Bea scent placing a light kiss on Her jawline , sleep slowly claiming her body.
