The Birthmark (#Wattys2016)

Death news

Sandra's POV.

"How can he do that to me?" I yelled as I slammed my steering wheel. I love Mike and surely he loves me more. But when it comes to fights, he doesn't gimme a single chance of saying anything. It seems as if I am not his love anymore.

"Ohhhhhh fuck." I scream as I saw a lady in front of my car. I tried to control the car as fuck, but to no avail and there you go! That lady got bashed by my car and went flying away.

For moments, I sat still. Did I just bashed a lady with my car? I saw outside. The lady was left on the road. Fortunately, the road was quite and almost deserted. Taking the opportunity, I killed the accelerator and ran away.

I killed someone. I killed a person. No, this can't be true. No..no...Noooooooooo."

"Noooooooooo."

It took me time to realize what happened just now. In just seconds after waking up from that horrible dream, tears welled up in my eyes again. Why does that fucking dream has to come in my mind again and again? First of all that adopted thing is troubling me, now this dream came back to haunt me.

Wiping the tear from my face, I look at the wall in front of me. That incident happened 2 years ago. I never meant to kill someone. Never!!

Just then my phone vibrates. I check on it to see Mike's message.

"Hey sugar plump. Wake up. Stop dreaming about me and our kids. XD.
Anyways, I am really sorry about that incident of yesterday. We will meet later in the day to discuss about that. Now if you want to go back to sleep, go. And yeah, if you are dreaming about our sex, then tell me later, how you felt when I entered you. Lol. Byeee mother of sweetness. Love you more than anything else in the world. ❤."

Now I couldn't help and a tear fell from my face. He loves me so much. I don't know, I really don't know what he will do, when he will come to know about the disastrous fact that it was me, who...who killed his sister. It was me who was driving the car.

Now, tears caught speed. Everything turned blurry in front of me. The thought of Mike leaving me, hurts as fuck even after 3 years.

I never meant of bashing her. I never meant to bash anyone. The fight with Mike had taken a troll on me. I was just thinking about that when Christina came in front. I had just a second to react. And I was late.

After escaping, guilt ran over my head. I parked the car far ahead from the accident. Then, I got out of the car, and started heading towards the spot where she was lying. I made sure everyone thought I was walking casually. Walking like a girl who is out of her house for a while.

This was my first accident. I had almost killed or maybe killed a person. If they catch me, I would be behind bars. I don't want that. So, I escaped.

In minutes, I reached to the place, where there was a huge crowd surrounding a spot. I knew, it was the lady lying over there. I walked to that place casually. But when I reached there, I got the biggest and mightiest shock of my life.

There was Christina lying lifeless on the road in front of me. I gasped in horror.

And from that moment, the fear of losing Mike has always increased. I never had the guts of telling him the fact. I don't want him to go away from me. I never want that!

"Sandra, get up baby, you are late for your college." My mom said loudly, her voice coming from downstairs. The train of my thoughts broke and I wiped the tears away. The nightmare will keep haunting me every now and then, until I disclose the truth to Mike, I guess. But I am never gonna do that.

"Sandra, honey, you alright?" My mom asked as she entered my room. "Yeah, I am." I said as I cleared my throat. Just then, I remembered that I have another problem to look at.

"Will you please listen to me?" She said looking straight into my eyes. I tried to scan her face, but eventually failed. After all, she isn't my mother.

Nodding, I gave her the permission. She got happy. I could see that. "Look, there is more to the explanation. You have to listen." I sighed. She continued,"Sandra, you needed to be mature to hear a news like that. We had decided to tell you that when you will turn into an adult. We.."

I got pissed off and cut her off,"So, I turned adult a long back ago. You think I am still a fucking child?" Again, a lump got produced in my throat. She said with a sigh,"Sandra, even though you were adopted, we never gave you an opportunity to get angry on us. We gave you everything. I promise, we loved you more than anything."

I wanted to say something, but couldn't. I hugged her. In no time, she hugged me back. Even though she wasn't my real mom, I couldn't stop loving her.

Minutes later, I pulled out of the hug and immediately asked,"Where are my real parents mum?" She got tensed up a bit which scared me. But in no time, she said,"They...they died in a car accident. That's why you are here. We adopted you after knowing that your parents died."

I was stunned. Why the hell am I getting the news of people dying today? Knowing that my real parents aren't there alive, fresh goosebumps were right there on my hand.

I concentrated on my breathing. I asked,"Do you have a pic of them?" She sighed and said,"As much as you want to see them, so is me. I never saw them. I want to see them, as to who the hell is capable of creating such a beautiful daughter." She smiled making me smile at the end of the sentence.

Hugging her back, I said,"I will never stop loving you and Mike. Pinky Promise." She chuckled.

"Now go, you are getting late." She said getting up.

Minutes later, I went in the washroom. Seeing at my reflection in the mirror, a guilt of killing someone rised up. I couldn't control this anymore. It was then, when I decided that :

"I am gonna tell Mike everything today about Christina."
