Through Amy. | SEULRENE

CHAPTER XIX

A year later... (hehe)

Irene's POV

"Mom! Wake up!" not gonna lie, I got startled with that. Amethyst jump on me, and started shaking me.

"I'm awake, love." I slowly opened my eyes. There I get to see a smiling Amethyst. "Your smile is creepy." I pushed her aside and covered myself with the whole sheet. Amy just started shaking me again.

"You became lazy since mommy left." now that really wake me up. I uncovered myself and look at her.

"My smile may be creepy but your look now is scary, mom." Amy said as gets off my bed.

It's been a year already and I haven't heard from her since that night. It gives so much effect on me, to be honest. She just disappeared all of a sudden and what's weird is that Amethyst doesn't seem affected by it. I know she knows something, I did tried asking her but she told me nothing.

"Love what would you feel if I tell you I'm upset with you, because of something, ever since a year ago?" I told her as I went out of bed and fix it up.

"I--" I look at her.

"I know you know something. I also know that you heard me crying all those nights." I give her a smile, as she's giving me an apologetic look. "It's fine, love." I left her there in my room. I still need to make breakfast. "Come on down, already." I said.

As I'm going down I heard shuffling from the kitchen. I just left Amy... Who?

"Mom!" I heard Amy's footsteps are on a fast pace, following me.

"Amethyst." I called out before facing her. "There's a person... you knew." Here I thought someone broke into the house.

"Mom..." With just that, I run downstairs and I arrived to the kitchen.

"This can't be." I whispered to myself. Fuck! I know that back. I felt my eyes getting teary. I just watch her.

"Mom?" I turn to face my daughter. "Mom, I'm sorry for not telling you a thing."

"Hyun." Fuck! I miss that voice. I'm just making eye contact with Amy, she signaling me to look back, but I just can't seem to move. I felt her arms encircling around my waist, she's back hugging me. I can't help but gasp. "God! I missed you." She whispered in my ear as she put her chin on my shoulder.

I don't know what to feel now. I've got so many questions. Why is she acting like she was just away for days? As if she didn't just left us for months.

I remove her hold on me. Without turning to her I ran back to my room. I do miss her, a lot actually. Seeing her there, I want to just run to her and give her the tightest hug. I wanted to do that but my emotions just bottled up.

Here I am crying again in my room, again. She's there already, why am I still crying? I heard my door creaked open, I didn't bother to look. I'm a mess. I then felt a hand on my shoulder.

"No love. You can't make me face her." I said to Amy.

"But mom, I know you're longing for her. Why--"

"Why did she left?"

"I don't know either, mom. If you will not talk to her, you won't get an answer for that." I felt Amy hands squeeze mine. I look at her.

"What would I say to her, Amethyst?" I sighed.

"Just ask her what you've asked me mom." she laugh a little while asking that. "You're nervous..." what?

"I know you're not angry, not even upset with mommy. I'm actually jealous of that, since you've just told me you were upset with me." She's actually right, I'm not. "You're just nervous seeing her again after those months." Am I?
