Pierce Your Heart (Jealousy book 3)

Chapter 31: Lost ones

DESTINY

I feel like a newborn and I am nothing short of confused.Its been a whole two days since I've been awake.

Nothing makes sense.
The year I'm in is impossible.
The things they're telling me is out of this world.

The only thing that makes sense right now is mother.I remember only her face of all the faces I've seen since waking up.

Mama has been in my room since this morning on the bed beside me. Fast asleep beside me on the bed.She looks much older than the last time I remember her. She has grey hair around her hairline and a few more lines and right now, a broken leg and bruises just like me.

I am told we were kidnapped and abused.
I am also told I had breast cancer, hence the scar under my breast.
I am told a lot of things these past two days.

I am told by Mama Nyjah is dead.Has been for years.
She says he shot me while I was pregnant with my first child, one of three that I birthed and one I adopted when I met....

Brandon?

The man that knelt by my bed and begged for my memory of him. I still cant remember him.

I cant even believe I have kids!

I cannot stop crying! Even if I get a break my eyes just well up the more I think about things I cannot recall.

All I remember is Adonyjah. How much I love my husband, and the fact that we just got married, in my mind. ....a few months ago.
I'm at the height of modeling and pageants career, then all of a sudden, my husband's dead, I remarried, i have kids!

This is a hard pill to swallow.
The hardest.

But I sorta feel bad the way I had them take him from my room.
How he screamed my name, kicked and cried to stay with me.

But I didnt know who he was, I was confused.
I still am.

"Mamita."I hear.

Looking beside me I see my mother looking up at me in my bed.
She's awake.

"Mama?"

She looked nervous.

"Brandon has asked me to ask you if he could talk to you later today?"She says

And the soft, sullen, hopeful look in her eyes got me to nodding, although I wanted nothing more than to shake my head til it fell off.

She smiles and goes back to lying down.

I sigh heavily.

What do I say?
What does he want to say?

What will we talk about?

So many questions!

I try to hold back the tears as I think about all the thoughts I've lost.

I wonder if he's going to want to 'try' to start where we left off.Before my accident. ...or rather, attempted murder.

My chest caves in.

Great.

A husband I know nothing about, and I are going to have our first date today.

And I'm still over here tryna grasp everything. ...unsuccessfully. I hold on the only thing I know, beside me in bed right now and just cry.

She holds on to me at tight as she possibly can and repeatedly kiss the side of my face.

I don't think this is a great idea.

I shake my head ,crying so hard.

Im 18 years behind in memory.
Eighteen years!
