Your Fire (Catradora Modern AU) (COMPLETE!)

Chapter 8 : Ash

Adoras POV:

When i told them i heard a voice in the rubble, i was not lying but what i kept to myself was that i could have sworn it was the voice of my Mother, a voice i barely remember yet in that moment i knew it instantly. While I now blame the stress of the last few weeks and a night spent digging out People for that little slip in Mental capacity, i am worried it might be a symptom of a bigger issue. I told my Doc tall of this and she scheduled me for an MRI just to be on the safe side

As soon as Visitors were allowed the next Day, Glimmer stopped by, causing my current situation of sitting here in perfect, uncomfortable silence. To think that this was the way she would find out really did not sit well with me but no use crying over spilled Milk

"So...you know now..." i start but soon drift off not sure how to begin this "...im sorry" i say, at least knowing that i fucked up by not telling her myself

"I don't get why you would keep this secret....i was so desperate to find any information on my Family but got absolutely nowhere and you were so close this whole time and knew...why?"

"Because..." i sigh and explain to her how my Childhood looked like, the Fire or what little i remembered from it, how i met Catra and how my life was in the Orphanage "...and i didn't want to...disappoint you"

Glimmer looked at me in shock and Tears in her Eyes "so..they are dead just like they always told me"

"Who told you?"

"Everyone? My Caseworker, my Foster Parents, my Friends...well the few i told about being adopted, they all told me i shouldn't hold hope to find anyone of my Family"

"How...are they? Your Foster Parents i mean" i ask in hopes to change the subject. I still don't like talking about my past very much

She smiles and takes her Phone out "Great actually, they told me everything when i was old enough and never once treated me like i was not their Child" she says and shows me a Picture on her Phone

"That's aweso....Angella?" i say, clearly recognizing the middle aged Woman that served us just a few Days ago

"You know my mom?"

"I mean...not really but Catra, Finn and i were Eating at the Diner and they were friends of her Aunt or something"

"Ha...small World" After a few more seconds in which we both have no idea what to say, Glimmer starts to lose her battle with her own curiosity apparently "So...is Catra your Girlfriend?"

"umm yes, no ...kind of? I kind of hope that gets cleared up today" i say, failing to hide my Smile at the end when i remember how she left yesterday "...but i would really like her to be"

"Hmm i get that...when Bow asked me out he was a mess"

"Hehe i can kind of see that"

Finally after we started talking about other people, the conversation was flowing a lot smoother. She told me how they met, got together, that she was currently studying Veterinary medicine and even considered moving in together when he suddenly became a lot more distant without explaining why. With her Hands above her her now red Face she lets out a loud "Urghhh...i can't believe i was thinking he was cheating on me with you"

"With me? Pfff Hahaha hell no, you won't have to worry there" i say, laughing to the point my shoulder hurts "Don't get me wrong, Bow is great but..."

"Male?"

"....i was going to say chatty af but that works too, yeah" i say laughing when a knock on the Door makes me check the time and i see it's already 10:00 o'clock "Yes?"
