SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 19

CHAPTER 19

I wake up to the sound of voices in my room. The first thing that comes to my mind is the state I went to bed in but I quickly realize the blanket is completely covering my body. I stay quite keeping my eyes closed, trying to figure out who is in my room without letting them know I know they are in here. As the two people continue their conversation in whispered voices I soon find out whom they both are. Actually I knew who they were after the first sentence I heard spoken. But I lay still listening to their conversation praying they don’t realize I’m awake. My biological mom is telling my birth father how beautiful she thinks I am. While my birth father tells her I look like her so I have no other choice but to be beautiful. “Yeah, that makes me want to puke too”

“Harris, she hates us like I told you she would. She will never look at either of us as her parents. She didn’t even want to see us tonight.” My birth mother is crying. My birth farther is trying to console her by telling her she has to give me time. That I have only been here for a week and I’d been unconscious from the poison from the Drag until yesterday. It must be after midnight if he is saying I woke up yesterday. Hmm…guess I have been asleep for a few hours.

“Harris I want to hug her. Hold her in my arms and never let go of her again. I want to tell her how much I love her. We were deprived of having her, her whole life. Now she's here, and I think it’s harder having her here knowing she hates us more than it was when she knew nothing about us. At least before she knew who we were she didn't hate us, we never should have brought her back. We should have left her with the Parkers.”

“Summer you know that wasn’t possible. Rain’s powers come to her besides this is her home. She is the Princess of the Keeper World one day she will become Queen. She will get married, her and her husband will rule.”

“Harris I don't even want to talk with you about that. You know what my feelings are about what you have done, the only reason I haven't put a complete stop to it is because I know it won't work unless it's meant to be.”

“Summer I am only thinking about the best thing for our daughter.”

“Harris I will not discuss this subject with you anymore. All I want now is to try to have some type of relationship with our daughter. I had to give her up eighteen years ago I will never give her up again. I don't care if it takes the rest of my life. She will know I have loved her since before she was born.”

“I know that is what you want honey, give her time. Rain will come to see that you love her. But I don't want to see you hurt if she can never return the same kind of love to you that you have for her. Now come on lets go to bed she's not going anywhere, she’ll be here when we wake up in the morning. Besides we don't want her to wake up and find us in here.”

I keep my eyes closed waiting to hear the door open and close. But it never happens. I no longer hear them talking so after a few minutes I squint my eyes hoping they won’t be able to see me if they are still in the room. Looking around I can’t see them anywhere. They are gone so I open my eyes all the way up while sitting up in my bed. I contemplate on what all I heard them speaking about along with everything Case told me, as I’m deliberating everything I must admit it is getting harder and harder to stay angry with them the more I hear about everything.

 I can’t help but ponder about what my birth father could have done that my birth mother refused to discuss with him. Whatever they had been talking about she had told him the only reason she hadn’t stopped him was due to the fact she knew it wouldn’t work unless it was meant to. I’m not sure if they were talking about something I should be worried about or not. I mean let’s face it seems as if I have entered a world where anything is possibly. At this point I say the hell with it. I am going to start dealing with everything as it happens from now on. One thing is for sure whatever they were talking about had to do with me. I thought about Harris saying I was the princess, and one day would be Queen and rule the Keeper’s World. Well…that part sounds pretty fucking awesome, but I hate it for them if they think I'm ever getting married.
