By The Grace Of Katy I'm Still Breathing (Katy Perry Fanfiction)

Chapter 1 (Where Is It?)

(Catherina's POV)

I have been lying on the couch for two hours now, casually browsing the web and also watching my favourite show. It is nearly mid-October, the middle of fall, my favourite season.

I was watching an episode of Friends when my iPhone started ringing from the kitchen. I immediately bolted up and ran for the phone, wishing that it will not stop ringing before I get to answer it.

'Hello?'

'Hey! Sweetie! How's everything?'

'Hi mom! I'm fine, just relaxing and watching some TV. How was Tokyo?'

'It was great sweetie, Tokyo is a beautiful city. By the way, honey, will you please go to my room and find a brown paper bag with building designs? I have forgotten where I have put it, but I am sure that it will be in one of the drawers.'

'Can you get it when you come back? Your room is so far away...' I said, playing with my fingers.

'Please help me find it. I have a meeting in half an hour and I do not want to be late. I promise after my meeting we can sit together and watch a movie of your choice tonight.'

'Ok then, love you mom, see you soon.'

'Love you too darling, thank you and see you soon, bye."

I hung up and dragged my body up the stairs. Okay, drawers, a lot of drawers. I started with the first drawer, condoms.. moving on... passports, and nope. Next, hand-creams, and a brown paper bag. Just to make sure that I had the right bag, I opened it and looked.

The moment I read what was written on the sheets of paper in the brown paper bag, tears started to form in my eyes. It wasn't long before I started crying hysterically. I couldn't control myself. As I walked down the stairs, I thought to myself...

"GOD. Should I just pretend nothing has happened? Me knowing this will ruin the family, but I do really want to know who is my mother and why she gave me up. I guess it is not fair on my parents, they have raised me even thought they did not have to. They have spent so much money, time and effort on me. Telling them this will kill them. Mom's heart will be broken. Although if I do not bring this up, I will never know why I was ditched or why I was unwanted. GREAT. Inner Struggle. Just when I wanted to put what had just happened away and hide it for a few days to think thoroughly about what to do. Just when I wanted to wipe away my tears, the front door opened.

'I'm home baby! Oh my gosh baby why are you crying?' Mom asked as she rushed to my side.

'I....I....' Gosh, there is no way I can hide now...
