You're My Dream

Chapter 26: What's Wrong Mom?

Katie's POV
11:30 a.m.
I was worried about my mom and what she had to tell me. That it was gonna make me mad? I haven't been mad at my mom ever since I was a little hormonal 13 year old. Her words ran across my mind. What would make me, Katie Anderson, mad at my mom? Enough overthinking. I had to get there and not waste any time.
--10 minutes later--
I turned the key on the truck. It was now silent. All you could hear was the sound of wind chimes and the field next door whooshing and looking like waves in the water. I hurried up to the porch and knocked. "It's just me!" I said. I've always used that phrase since I was little. "Come in!" I heard my mom call out.

"Hey sweetie!" She said holding out her arms. "How've you been?" "I've been doing good. Besides the text you sent me. I'm worried about that. What could possibly make me mad?" "Well..." She said, making rough drafts in her head as to what to say. "I've been wanting to tell you this for a month or two already." I was thinking and thinking. What could she be wanting to tell me?! I was getting anxious. "Yes?..." I said scared of what she was gonna say. Could she be sick? Was she hiding something from me my whole life? No. No. She's told me everything already. I think... "Well. It's been years and years since... You know..." "Yes mom. I know. No need to go on about it. I get it." It was my dad. He was a part of the past now. I knew what it was. It was something I hated bringing up. Or even thinking about. There was a silence in the room. Like it got quieter and closed in.

"It's just that I got tired of being here alone. I've wanted to love someone for forever. I know I have you Katie, but I wanted a SO. So here we are. Katie, I just wanted to tell you that I have been seeing someone for a little hole now. His name is Tom. He is very nice. He's been wanting to meet you. I just told him what had happened and he totally understood. "Mom... Wow. I uh, I don't know what to say. I'm speechless." "I know this is a big shocker to you. I'm sorry if this made you mad or sad in any way. I'm sorry." "No mom. No. I'm just very surprised. I wasn't expecting this. After you being single for so many years. I truly wasn't expecting this. But mom, you do what makes YOU happy. You don't worry about other people's opinions." She gave me a big hug and cried. She was crying tears of joy and sadness. So was I. I no longer had her to myself. But, she's happy now. And I love that she is. "So. Tell me more about this Tom." I said. I was honestly pretty curious about him. I know she would pick good. My mom has seen a lot and learned from it. And I'm thankful for that.
