Cialara's POV

It's not what you think Mom, I said and quickly regretted saying that.

I should have started with a smooth move.
One that would at least give me a pass till morning, but unfortunately I had to sit this through.

Mom gestured for us to sit down , just outside. I slowly took a seat beside her , and we sat in silence for about 5 minutes.

I noticed she was way more uneasy than I am.

" Cia , you know you have been blacking out?
She questioned and I just nodded

" words baby girl, words."
She says  and I immediately clear my throat saying

"yes mom"

"good girl" she replied.

"Well I've been contemplating for some years now when to tell you this..-"

she paused,
..and the reason why your dad has never been a topic, she added.

My head jerked up at the mention of my dad, cause to be sincere I have no idea who he was or is.
My memory only dated up to my 14th birthday, the rest of it , was all blurry and stuff.
It was mom who tried to fill in , with her own versions of how I spent my childhood.

"Well, I'm pretty sure the reasons for your black outs are due to the incidents that happened that day, I mean the doctors said it that day but it never happened until recently ."

She breathed in as if gathering courage for the worst news I would ever hear.

".. you know, I told you about the accident.
Well it was partially an accident or simply put, an accident was an understatement, you were nearly snatched from me baby girl, "

And this time she wasn't able to hold in the sobs, she broke down .
I thought she couldn't finish it today but hell was I wrong , she had made up her mind to divulge everything or at least a quarter of it sighs.

"Cia , you were shot "

she said with a plain straight face.

I saw her lips moving up and down to form words, but I was too shocked to hear her, it was all dead silence and just my thoughts roaming in earshot.

Gathering my thoughts , I braced myself to listen to everything.

"5 years ago, we were caught up in the middle of a shoot out between some mafioso's .
I'm not going into details about that for now, or at least I hope.
And as I was escaping with you , you were hit just close to your heart , you know how crucial that is?
that caused damage but that's not all the reason for your black outs and temporary- not so -temporary amnesia .
When you got hit by the bullet, you staggered and fell down bumping your head into a stone carving .
It was that fall that had an impact on your brain , causing serious damage at that time "
She finished.

I was lost at words, I wanted to scream out loads of stuff but no words came out.
I felt my cheeks wet and that's when I realized  I had  been crying.

There was  so much to ask but there was so little words to communicate on my side.
After some minutes which felt like eternity, I cleared my throat and fixed myself.

" so mom , why now?
I asked with my voice all cracked up , I felt empty.
" I didn't want you to go through this, I felt that there would be no need to reveal .

Sweetheart, They're on our heels , they're back in our lives, I don't know how he found us out , I mean we flew thousands of miles..- "
I cut in saying , Wow, wow Mom , I remember asking you whether we had ever been on a plane but you denied, I said but anyways, I think my past or to be precise there's more to the shoot out and us. 

That day might hold the answers to all I've been seeing in my dreams, during my black outs.

Sighs.
