End Time Cores

C46, Graduation celebration (1)

Three days to Graduation.
[Later that night, In Aimy's room]

Aimy's POV

What was going on?
What was I doing?

All I knew was the fuel of rage boiling inside of me was gonna erupt a fire soon, even though I wasn't yet sure the news was true.
Perhaps it's cause I don't see a reason why Harry would make up something like that. I really needed to find a way to cool off so I could talk to mom properly.

The pressure from school was eating me up, now this.
How could I possibly be adopted and not know? I mean how could I know if I wasn't told?
Who are my real parents then if I was adopted? They alive or dead?

I had so many questions.
My life just took a turn from a horror genre to a mystery movie.

Maybe if I laid down for a bit everything would blow over...

Next morning

It's two days to graduation.
Hayley and some of the other girls from our school who are in our church group, said they'd be coming over for a girl's night.

I needed to inform her, and thus, fix whatever grudges was between us. Mostly from this side.

Once I got off the bed, I headed down to the kitchen, where I was sure I would find her, and I guessed correct.

She was under her apron, baking and cooking. Sweating profusely.

"Hey there honey, you're awake." She said once she spotted me.
"We can have morning devotions now- once I'm done setting the cookies into the oven." She added.

"Mom, we need to talk." I said soberly.

"what about dear?" She replied still busy setting cookies into the oven.

Okay, I'm just going to say it straight.

"How I'm adopted." I replied, and she dropped the last plate of cookie she was holding in shock.
That was all the clarity I needed.
Since my mom's this petrified, I guess I'm adopted after all.

Allison's POV

My worst fear just dropped like a joke in front of me.
She knows, that explains the sudden furosity.
I guess it was time I finally let go of this big burden. I should've once I gave my life to Christ, but I was just too scared and unsure it was a right move.

Once she said the word. My heart froze first in shock. Then I pulled myself together. After all I always knew this day would come, and I've been praying that when it did, God would soften her heart to forgive me.

I calmed myself down, accepting my fate that whatever happens henceforth will be the will of God.

I forced out a smile, then turned off the baker. I had no idea what would happen next, so I better be cautious, or I might burn down the house.

Then I took from the cookies I had taken out of the oven earlier, then placed it into a disposable plastic plate. I took out a small picnic basket, took some fruits, carried two carton of 45cl juices.
I had no idea what I was doing. I was excited that I'd finally be free from the burden of keeping this huge secret, but I was also afraid on her reaction, was she going to be mad or really mad, or furious?

I placed it all in the basket, then went out to meet her by the counter.

"Lets pray, then take a shower. How about we talk more about this on a picnic." I said trying my best to stay calm.

"O-k-a-y." She replied confusingly, going to the living room.

Well, until then, I'd pretend like everything is okay.

Outside,
At the park.

Aimy's POV

I couldn't really read through the lines my mom was drawing, but her behavior seems to pass the idea to me that there was some truth to Harry's words.
I'm guessing she's only bringing me here to explain why I myself didn't know of this factor or should I say, was kept in the dark about it.

After setting up everything, we both relaxed on our blanket we had spread for the picnic, then stayed mute for a while.

I couldn't help but think to the beginning of this session. How messed up everything was- the waking up to sweats from crazy nightmares- then there was Harry and the hole drama of me dating him- me becoming friends again with Victoria and me losing another friend that I discovered wasn't even a friend.
Did I mention the terrifying dreams of the end time.

Although I still have them at times, and since it's not happening anytime I know of, I wasn't freaked out by them anymore. Infact, I'm ready, not ready, but ready. I'd just live the best way I can, and keep trying to place God first, and with God and my new group of friends, it isn't that hard anymore to live up to.
Somehow It almost feels like everything happened yesterday.

Oh! did I forget to mention this new chapter- Me being adopted.

Mom was still mute and it was beginning to drive me crazy.

"So, Mrs parker!" I said trying to get her attention.
I soon regretted doing that, cause it almost felt like she became teary after that.
"Mom, are you alright? I was just kidding." I said trying to comfort her.
Even though she's the one supposed to be doing the apologizing here.

"Its okay. I deserve that." Mom finally said, making me feel even more guilty.

"I really didn't mean it." I added sadly.

"I didn't either." Mom added to my surprise.
This woman, been with her for all my life, and I still feel like she surprises me everytime.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." She added,
"I'm still wishing it wasn't so. Aimy the words to explain myself. It's all so much I..." she was still saying, but I cut her off.

"I don't want to hear it." I said intruding.
