chapter 12

Life is just killing me slowly and painfully.

Mom came home an hour earlier, smiling from ear to ear, she hugged Sam before walking in to the kitchen. She was wearing a blue skirt showing off her tall legs and high heels matching her black handbag. She was beyond gorgeous, one point for her not having own children. Dad told me that it was the shock of her life, the day getting confirmed from the doctors, that she's sterile.

After the elimination of her dream to have own children, she fell into deep depressions, wild parties, drugs and also spending the time left crying. Until dad literary dragged her to the orphanage, to adopt a homeless child, she hated the idea first but like my dad always says, "when we entered the orphanage, one little girl directly came to us holding a Jasmine (it's a flower) your eyes have always been unique , a bright green but sometimes they are brown , it broke our hearts that you've lost your parents already in such a young Age.

we wanted to take you to us immediatly, your mom was dead set against it that you will not spend another night in this miserable place , in spite of the youth office in her neck and many sets, they managed to get you out in such a short time. the only words that you could say were 'I vuv you'. I thought I die by your cuteness."

Yeah, that was me, But let me finish his speech.

"This child looked so vulnerable, that your mother started crying, it was love at first sight, your name was Reese but we changed it into Jasmine, we just did it because you were holding one. You know your mother she changed.. you changed her"

8 years later, they adopted Ben. he doesn't know yet that he is adopted, that is also a reason why we moved. I'm glad they brought him, I love him and I could kill for his safety.

Mom was in such a good mood , she even hummed loudly . The next thing I noticed was that I was in her arms. "You don't know who invited us to dinner"

Weird, all this happiness coming from an Invitation, from a simple dinner to be exact.

"What in the whole word is as exciting as eating dinner?" I pushed her a little away from me to look into her smiling face, "Honey, it's not just a simple dinner at some stink normal family. we are invited by the Mayor and his wife, to come visit them in their big mansion because we are new here and because your Little brother Ben's friend is their son."

My clever little brother always in touch with important people ,"So let me guess" I scrunched my eyebrows to act as if I was thinking. "You are expecting me to go all spruce up". After all, she is still my mom and I can't get really mad at her for expecting me to brighten myself up. Get a new dress was certainly on my to do list. "Your are so beautiful sweety"

"Mom, not the nickname thing again", her face lit up. " I would never Change the nickname, your gonna stay forever my little sweety" I groaned and stared at tmy feets, who suddenly became really interesting and I added on my to do list to make my nails.

"What I was about to say is that your a natural Beauty, it's like your not human. at your age I was covered in pimples, in your case it never even showed up" I moved a bit, so the sun was shining and reflecting in my eyes.

""My God, Jasmine." My mom shrieked. " Your eyes. How have I never noticed them?"

That uncomfortable feeling was spreading over me again. "What about them?"

"The color," She breathed. "When you stand in the light. They're amazing... like molten gold. I could paint those..."She reached toward me but then pulled back. "They're beautiful. You're beautiful."

"I'm not beautiful"

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.And your one of them" a ear fell down from her left eye.

"You lost your parents at the Age of a few days, look how amazinng you are today, I'm sure they would be proud of you, I love you" She hugged me once again and quiet tears escaped our eyes. "I love you too" I whispered back.

Peace ✌
