The Beginning of The End

Chapter Fourteen

Cordelia Pov: 

"Well, are you going to go after her?" Wilhemina said sniffling. 

'Now that's surprising.' She thought. The Ms. Venable she knew was possessive and selfish. The woman she knew never would have suggested that she should go comfort y/n. 

She'd admit that she had never expected the relationship between y/n and Ms. Venable to be so serious. Normally she gave people the benefit of the doubt but even she once thought Ms. Venable was incapable of such emotion. Now she wasn't so sure. She noticed that Ms. Venable energy was much lighter the minute she arrived. Plus, the displays of emotion shocked her. The woman she knew was prideful and guarded... that woman would've never shed a tear in her presence. But here she was sobbing and asking if she would go comfort y/n because she herself couldn't. That was a selfless action. 'Maybe she has changed?' She thought but was still skeptical. 

She nodded before leaving the kitchen to go after her baby girl. As she approached the door she could here sniffling from the other side. It broke her heart that you were going through all of this. The real reason it'd taken her so long to come to you was because she wondered if the action would be selfish. She saw your life with Ms. Venable, you looked happy. And for a while she wondered if maybe you'd be better off never remembering. She never wanted you to experience the pain and confusion you were now. But she also didn't think what you had with Ms. Venable was as serious as she now saw it was. She assumed the woman was using you for her gain as she had everyone else and when she got wind of the circumstance in which you came to be with Ms. Venable she decided that that theory was fact. But still she waited because she convinced herself that it was her own selfish desire to have you back after all of these years that clouded her judgement. In the end she settled on the fact that it wasn't her choice to make. You need to remember and after that whatever decision you made, she'd respect. Of course, she expected you to come running back into her arms but now seeing the relationship you had with Ms. Venable up close she was questioning that belief. But either way it'd be your decision. She could never take that from you. 

"Honey can I come in?" She asked knocking lightly on your door. 

She heard you move around a bit and for a moment her heart dropped thinking you'd reject her before she heard the softest little "Y-yes." 

As she pushed the door open she saw her baby sitting up in bed, eyes red and puffy. You still looked at her as if she were a ghost, but she couldn't fault you. She scolded herself for not thinking that your memories would start coming back on their own. They weren't supposed to and she had no clue how or why they did. Not knowing just wasn't something she was comfortable or furmilar with. 

Her baby was stressed and questioning her sanity while she lollygagged around. She should've come sooner. She knew that. She didn't want you to suffer so she waited but turns out you were suffering anyway. And she could've prevented it. 

"Hi baby." She whispers coming over to take a seat on your bed. 

Y/N Pov: 

She was here, in front of you, she was real. You kept repeating it over and over in your mind. 

"H-hi" You stuttered. You knew this woman sort of from your dreams coming back... no memories, your memories coming back. But still a lot was missing and if you were being real, she was virtually a stranger. The feelings were conflicting because on one hand you felt immensely comfortable and safe with her but in the back of your mind you still wondered if you really should trust her at all. 

As she sat down next to you all you felt was relief. It was like her mere presence was enough to sooth all of your thoughts. You studied her still in awe hat she was here with you after only being a figment in your mind. At some point she had pulled her honey-colored hair up into a bun. Probably around the point that you were screaming at Mina. You were shocked that Cordelia had somewhat tried to cover for Mina by not outright say 'oh ya hey by the way your lover her brutally murdered you'. Delia actually seemed kind of sad when you had blown up at Mina.
