You're In My Dreams

Time To Forgive, But Not To Forget

Mom I ask in disbelief, she gives an awkward smile. Surprise I hear Veronica say. More like kill me now I say inside my head. She walks over and hugs me. I awkwardly hug her back. I heard what happened, I'm so sorry she says to me. Since when
did she care about me. She pulls away and smiles. I give a fake smile and she seems to believe it. Why are you here I ask her. I told you I had a secret Veronica answers. That still doesn't explain I say annoyed. You don't seem happy Veronica says sounding upset. No, I'm uh, just shocked, I lie. Oh, ok she says awkwardly. So why are you here I ask my "mom" again. Because I care about you, and I wanna make sure you're ok she tells me. I don't believe her, why all of a sudden would she start caring about me. Maybe they are gonna give something to her because of what happened. This is about money or something isn't it I ask angrily. Chloe no, I care about you she says,I don't believe her. Since when did you ever care I yell and walk out of the room. I walk down the steps and out of the house. She doesn't care, she wants something is all I think in my head. Maybe I should just go back to Ryan now I think to myself. I hope my keys are at my apartment because that's where I'm headed. Its gonna take a while though. Veronica's house is really far from where I live. I slowly trudge down the road. I'll probably get there when its dark outside I thought to myself. 4 hours later 7:39 pm...... I've been walking for hours now, I'm almost at my house. I finally get to the complex and walk up the steps. I try to open my door but it's locked. I look in the mailbox and around the door. Well that's just great I mumble to myself. So I just laid on the floor, I'm so tired and dehydrated. I wind up passing out later to find myself in a hospital. My mom was in here with Veronica, ugh why does she keep appearing everywhere it think to myself. What happened I ask Veronica. Chloe, you shouldn't of walked that far without anything to drink she says worriedly. I had to I say quietly, she didn't hear me though. Chloe I'm so glad you're alright my mom then says. I ignore her and close my eyes hoping she would go away. Can we have a have a minute in private I heard her ask Veronica. God, now what does she want I ask myself. Chloe, I'm so sorry for everything I've ever done to you she starts. And I can't believe it took me this long to realize my mistakes. I should've never treated you like that. I was just so upset about your father, I didn't realize how much you were hurting to. And I hurt you worse, and now look what happened she says. She walks up to the bed, I can tell she was staring at me. Chloe please forgive, me I heard her say. It sounded like she was crying. I know its time to forgive her. We've all made mistakes in this world. Some are worse then others I say opening my eyes. I see she really was crying, maybe she really has changed. Oh Chloe, I never should of treated you like that. I'm the worst mother in the world. You were, but now, you seem a little better I say making her smile. She leans over and hugs me, I hug her back, I know it made her happy. So do you know where my house keys are I ask her.  She pulls away and goes into her purse. She hands them to me and I go to get up but she stopped me. She pointed to my arm and I look at it. Iv, I hate needles. She calls the doctor in, but they say I can't leave. So I stayed the night in the hospital. But the next morning I had to throw up. This is why I was trying to go home. I don't want anyone getting suspicious. I grab a small trash can and throw up. It wakes up my mom and she calls the doctor in. That's not good I hear them say. What's wrong with her my mom asks. Great they probably think I'm worse. There's no way I'm staying another night in here I think to myself. While they were distracted with my mom I quickly but carefully pull the iv out. I grab my keys and run right past them. I am barefoot and in a hospital gown but I don't care. I notice my keys are attached to my mom's car keys . I quickly look for her car. I can't find it in time so they catch me. Miss you shouldn't be like this when you're pregnant in hear them say. How did you know I asked as they dragged me back into the hospital. Does my mom know I ask as I was being dragged. Yeah was all they said, great I think to myself. Way to show I was good without her in my life. Now she probably thinks I'm some slutty 16 year old who got pregnant. They put me back in the hospital room and my mom came back in. Chloe!, what were you thinking she kind of yelled. I wanted to go home I yell back. Don't yell, you're causing yourself stress she said softer. How did they know I was pregnant I ask her. Veronica said you were mumbling in your sleep about it. So they checked and you were she told me. I just have one small question she told me. Sure what I ask slightly annoyed. Who is the baby's father she then asks me.
