Her Last Days (Transcript)

The Bessons had news that Mrs. Besson had cancer. But now, the doctor called Mr. Besson that Mrs. Besson fell ill and isn't going to make it. Mr. Besson and the kids drove straight to the hospital to say their final goodbyes.

Zoe: Dad, why are we rushing?

Mr. Besson: Why can't you kids just stay quiet?

Josh: Sorry dad.

Hayden: We might have to stay behind because I have diabetes.

Zoe: Yeah.

The Bessons soon arrived at the hospital with Mr. Besson quickly meeting the doctor while the kids stayed behind. Mr. Besson followed the doctor to his office wanting to hear the news.

Doctor: So, Ariella's health has unfortunately deteriorated and she has 10 minutes left to live. We're sorry, but we weren't able to save her.

Mr. Besson: Please, doctor, I just want to see my wife. One last time.

Doctor: Okay, just follow me.

Mr. Besson: Thank you so much, doctor.

Mr. Besson followed the doctor to his wife's room. She is now getting really sick to the point that she's dying.

Mr. Besson: Ariella.

Mrs. Besson: Hey Josh. It's my last day, right?

Mr. Besson: Yes, I just want to say goodbye. But I dunno how.

Mrs. Besson: Hey, I'll be fine. I'll be in a better place soon. Just please, when I die, find a place to live in Singapore and once you did find it, bring the kids with you and start a new life. And don't let Addison bother them once you're gone. Josh is almost the age of consent, he could look after Hayden and Zoe all by himself.

Mr. Besson: But Josh is turning 17, not 18.

Mrs. Besson: Just listen to me before I pass away.

Mr. Besson: Okay.

Mrs. Besson: I love you.

Mr. Besson: I love you too.

That's when Mrs. Besson took her last breath and her heart monitor made a flatline. Meanwhile in the waiting room, the kids heard the flat line from their mother because of Zoe's glasses.

Josh: No, it can't be.

Hayden: Not aunt Ariella.

Zoe: Guys, we have to stay strong.

Josh: How? We can't help it. We couldn't even say our last goodbyes to her.

Hayden: Sorry to break it to you but we can't see her because of my diabetes.

Song: Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne

Zoe: #You're not alone, together we stand #I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand #When it gets cold and it feels like the end #There's no place to go, you know I won't give in #No, I won't give in #Keep holding on #'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through #Just stay strong #'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you #There's nothing you could say #Nothing you could do #There's no other way when it comes to the truth #So keep holding on #'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through#

Hayden: #So far away, I wish you were here #Before it's too late, this could all disappear #Before the doors close and it comes to an end #With you by my side, I will fight and defend #I'll fight and defend #Yeah, yeah#

All: #Keep holding on #'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through #Just stay strong #'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you #There's nothing you could say #Nothing you could do #There's no other way when it comes to the truth #So keep holding on #'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through#

Josh: #Hear me when I say, when I say I believe #Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny #Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly #Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah#

Zoe: #La, da-da-da #La, da-da-da #La, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da#

All: #Keep holding on #'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through #Just stay strong #'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you #There's nothing you could say #Nothing you could do #There's no other way when it comes to the truth #So keep holding on #'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through#

Hayden: #Keep holding on #Keep holding on#

All: #There's nothing you could say #Nothing you could do #There's no other way when it comes to the truth #So keep holding on #'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through#

Mr. Besson ran up to the kids who is about to tell them the news.

Mr. Besson: Guys, it's mum. She died.

Zoe: We know. We're sorry.

Mr. Besson: No, I'm the one who's sorry. Because of your ongoing medical conditions.

Hayden: We can't help it, it's our genetics.

Mr. Besson: Alright.

Mr. Besson and the kids drove back home quietly feeling empty and down. The kids went to their room and Zoe broke down.

Zoe: I can't believe it. Our mum has passed away.

Josh: Yeah, you know grief doesn't go well with depression and anxiety.

Zoe: And we all have that.

Hayden: Guys, even though mum has passed away, we need to learn how to move on.

Zoe: Wait, I heard that dad was going to move us to Singapore.

Josh: Singapore?

Zoe: Yeah.

Hayden: Why Singapore?

Zoe: I dunno, dad needs to go there and find us a house.

Josh: But who'll look after us once dad goes to Singapore?

Zoe: You, of course.

Hayden: No, Josh isn't the age of consent yet. Addison and her boyfriend might fly from Sydney all the way here to look after us.

Zoe: But mum says she can't let her get to us.

Hayden: I know, she's abusive. But she won't have a choice but have her and her boyfriend to look after us.

Zoe: Yeah, I know.

The kids fell in despair as their mum died and they still have to deal with a liar. Even though they need to go and move on, they don't know how.

Josh: How can we go to school tomorrow?

Zoe: Let's just host a funeral tomorrow and get Kandace and Sofia with us.

Hayden: No, a memorial service. Mum will just donate her body to the hospital. Donate her organs and stuff.

Zoe: Alright. But where?

Josh: We'll do it in our backyard.

Zoe: Let's ask dad.

The kids went to their dad's office who is working on something.

Zoe: Hey dad, sorry to bother you.

Mr. Besson: What is it?

Hayden: We are wondering if we could host a memorial service for mum.

Mr. Besson: Okay. But who will you invite?

Zoe: Just us and Sofia and Kandace. It'll be tomorrow.

Mr. Besson: Okay then.

Josh: Thank you so much.

Mr. Besson: You're welcome.

The kids got preparations for the memorial the next day with the help of Sofia and Kandace.

Kandace: So, this is where we'll have the service.

Zoe: Yeah.

Josh: We'll need a bunch of flowers for this. Our mum's favourite flowers are daisies.

Sofia: Okay.

Zoe: Let's get started.
