Hours has passed since I last saw Scar. When I mean hours I really mean 34 hours 17 minutes 32, now 33 seconds has passed. Her scowl, her tears, her eyes, her feautures, all of it stayed a permanent memory in my mind. Why couldn't I remember her. Why couldn't I remember what we shared. It was evident that we had a lot of history together, she even stated that James were hers. I mean that is only possible if she allowed a family member of some sort to give the sperm but still. James did have a slight resemblance to her. "Urgh!" I screamed in frustration. I don't know what to believe. I don't know what to think. How to react. How to breathe. I miss her face and we spent no sort of time together. But I miss her.

I rolled on my side the moment Kelly walked into the room and began speaking about her exonerating day at work. Her rambling continued and my mind drifted away. I stared out the window looking at the moonlight stars and the shimmers of dark blue which resonated within them. Her eyes, I thought, they shimmered like those stars. A starry night with mysteries between them, just like the dark-haired beauty.

"Are you even listening to me?" Kelly screamed which immediately took me out of my reverie.

"No actually. I wasn't!" I grimaced at my tone.

"What the hell Sydney? What's bothering you? For the past day or two you have been extremely distant." A simple touch on my shoulder was made and yet it annoyed me to world's end.

"I am okay Kelly. I just need alone time. I just came out of a coma for Christ sake." I shook my head and raised from the bed and proceeded to the door.

"look I'm sorry. Where are you going?" her voice sounded sincere but it wasn't -the voice-.

Ignoring her completely I walked to James' room where he was awake staring at the ceiling. "You okay buddy?" I immediately questioned.

"Yeah mama." He sighed. Now, for a 3-year-old he is extremely advanced and quite a brilliant child. I walked to the bed and sat at his side. "What's wrong?" I questioned once more. "That lady..... was she really...... my real momma." His eyes showed bewilderment and so did mines. "I am not quite sure baby. But I will find out because I want to know as well." I smiled.

"Do you want her to be your mama?" I asked. A smile stretched on his face and he shook his head signalling that he is not quite sure.

After a while of talking about the dark-haired beauty and how he should not mention anything to Kelly, we both decided that we should call it a night and go to bed. Snuggling up together we both fell asleep for another confusing day in the life of Sydney.

The sounds of arguing and a small familiar voice woke me up from that frustrating sleep. I looked to the side of me and realized that James was gone. Walking outside to investigate the arguing, I saw Kelly scolding my son.

"If I said not to do something, you don't. I am your mother and you will respect me."

"I'll respect you when you tell my real mummy the truth."

And with that he huffed and ran across to me hugging my leg with tears running down his face.

"what's going on here?"

"that child is disobedient and a pain just like..." her voice got hushed and her sentence was cut short.

"just like who Kelly?" An apprehensive look dominated my features.

"No one."

"No tell me because I will love to know."

"Oh, for Christ sake Sydney, let some things go. That's how you got shot in the first place." Kelly began pacing in the living room while I just stood there stunned.

"James get a bag with clothes and your toy and let's go." Immediately he ran in his room and I proceeded to mines. Grabbing my purse and my phone, I changed my clothes and took my son and leave. To be honest, I expected Kelly to run after us but she didn't, so I took that as a great opportunity to sniff out Scar. The question is, how?

So before y'all start the war of me not updating in 5 months. -_- my laptop crashed and I just saved enough to purchase a new one. So yes you can expect constant updates from now. I am so sorry to those that I kept on hold for so long. Sigh. Please forgive me.
