SONG: BUTTERFLY FLY AWAY - MILEY CYRUS & BILLY RAY CYRUS

Frank went off to the other end of the boat as Lily basically told him to bugger off and leave her and Rose alone. Lily opened the first Frank had handed her and the remainder of the whiskey in the bottle from Frank as well. 

"This is going to hurt Petal, but it's got to so you know it's healing." Lily opened the bottle and carefully poured the alcohol on Rose's wound and then held some cloth to it to keep the alcohol on it so it would clean it. Making Rose wince and groan in pain, quickly Rose grabbed Lily's hand and Lily squeezed it tightly in response as Rose rested her head on her mother's shoulder. 

Rose let a few tears fall from the pain, letting out a few sniffles on the way, when Lily heard these sniffles she wrapped round her free arm rubbing Rose's back soothingly then moving her hand to her fallen hair from her ponytail, stroking it out, threading her fingers through her daughter golden locks, just like hers. "I know, I know it hurts, but I'm right here just squeeze my hand as much as you need." Lily kissed the side of her daughters head before going back to soothingly rubbing her back.

Lily removed the cloth from the wound wiping up the remaining alcohol that had dripped down Rose's arm. Then getting dampened mini, ripped cloths wiping the edge of the wound making sure everything was cleaning before bandaging it.

 "Why didn't you tell me?" Lily's voice shook, filling the silence between the two.

"I didn't want you to worry." Rose mumbled back, looking down in shame from having to move away to give her mother space to properly clean her wound.

"Oh sweetheart i was going to worry either way." Lily cupped Rose's cheek wiping a fallen tear.

"I know but, you seemed busy with your heart being set on this adventurous. And I felt like if I had come to you it would have ruined the moment of you getting all excited of actually getting somewhere with this search for the Tears of the Moon, and I've already disappointed,... TWICE! This trip-" Rose rambled before her mother stopped her by putting her hand over her mouth the going back to cupping both her cheeks.

"You always come first, no matter how much I love your Uncle Mac, you come first, I love you more than anything Rose, and I can't bear to lose you, I don't wanna be stuck with your Uncle Mac for the rest of my life." Lily sighed smiling making Rose laugh both holding back tears. "Again as much as I love him, god he's annoying I need my best girl by my side always. You always come first Petal never forget that ok?" Rose nodded as her mother hugged her gently being careful of her arm that she had now bandaged up.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you when collecting our luggage i know you were only trying to help." Lily sniffled still hugging Rose, not seeming to let go as her grasp tightened.

"It's fine, Mum. I love you too."

"I love you more."

"Awww, look at that, you two have made up, little mother daughter moment going on there." both women removed themselves from the hug to glare at the man leaning on the frame of the boat with another whiskey bottle in his hand, giving them his famous, annoying smirk.

"Can we help?" Lily sighed, tilting her head, speaking sarcastically towards Frank who had interrupted the only peaceful moment she had with her daughter since she got here.
