Early in the morning, Ryan and my friends picked me up at my stop. We left for the island, I was really in high spirits hoping to see mom finally.
We traveled almost 4 hours to reach the place. We followed Aunt Margarete's instructions which were easy enough for us to guide to the right house.
My heart thumped hard in my chest when I ran the bell. I stayed holding my breath for one long minute when I finally heard someone calling out from inside.
She was an elderly women, short and round.
"I'm Meg..."
She cut me off in the mid sentence.
"Margarete told you would come. She is in the beach." She said.
I thanked her and ran along not wanting to waste a second.
I could recognize her even from a long distance. Her blond and curly hair was dancing in the wind.
"Mom.." I cried running towards her.
When she saw me she ran towards me and embraced me, tears flowed through our eyes.
"I miss you." we cried together.
She cradled me in her arms like I was 5 again.Time was lost by just sitting and staring at each other. Words never escaped our lips. It just felt right to sit beside her and hold her hands.
Finally I brought all my courage to ask her one thing that mattered.
"Let's go home." I said squeezing her hands gently.
"I can't."
"Mom,please for my sake."
"I can't honey. It's really unbearable to have him back in my life." she said nodding her head in distress.
"What about me then?" tears welled up in my eyes.
"I'm doing a favor to you both." she said.
"No, you are not." I shrieked this time.
I got up and started pacing around the beach ranting about how we miss her in our life. She listened quietly all the time. It seems like she made up her mind to break up.
"Fine,I'm not going to give up either. I'll come her every time. try and persuade you." I said.
She gave me a weak smile and handed me an envelope.
I tore it open. Inside it was a divorce paper. My nerves failed and I went on my knees in the sand. I cried out loud when Mom tried to console me. I jerked her away. If they don't want me then I don't want them too. There is none left for me in this world. Why should I even live? I ran into the deep blue waves not realizing what I'm even thinking to do.
I let the waves crush me. I could feel my nerves failing as I gulped the large amounts of water. I faintly heard cries of people. I thought of Mom and Dad, My pain increased as I let the waves hit one more time at full blast. Then I stace and my friends together in our backyard playing with Bibi. What will happen to them, after all they love me too? What about Ryan?Jules? Emma?Stace? Will they be able to cope up my loss? May be I should live for them, that was when I was completely submerged in water. I went blank.
I felt arms wrapping around me crying for help. I tried to focus on the voice.It's Ryan. he was crying loudly for help.
"It's all because of you, she is in this state now. you are going to lose your daughter because you can't accept something that has happened in the past. Now you don't touch her."
It's Ema crying out loud. I never heard Emma raise her voice against someone. They wrapped me up in something warm.
I felt that I was being carried away somewhere.
"I didn't even tell her it was me giving her notes and roses. Now, I can never tell her that." Ryan cried.
"Don't you give up. She is not going to leave us." Jules shrieked at him.
I felt someone rubbing my feet and hands. I tried to focus on the conversation going on but I was blocked out again.
I woke up my eyes, they hurt very much. Everything was white around me. May be I was in heaven. Then I saw tables and medicines. May be I wasn't dead. I tried to move my eyes in the opposite direction. Just that movement hurt me very much.
I saw from the corner of my eye. My friends with tear stained faces, Stace sleeping in the couch and Mom in Dad's arms crying.
"She is up." I heard Ryan shrieking with excitement.
Each face hovered around my bed.
"Thanks god." Emma and Jules shrieked with joy.
"Oh, baby!" Mom kissed me.
