Chapter 6

Avery's P.O.V.

'So truth then it is.'He breathes heavily as I nod and get comfortable next to him.
'First of all I want you to remember hat what happened was all my fault and I swear to you this kills me everyday,just the thought of that I might have lost you makes me insane.'His words make my heart flutter in a way but then I remember he sill has something to tell me.
'So that day..we had an argument..'He breathes  heavily.
'About?'I ask him curiously.
'I met one of my old friends..Who appeared to be my drug dealer friend..If you don't remember and I know you may not I have to tell you that I had some serious drug addiction issues,but I swear I don't have anything at the moment and from that day on.'He continues.'So it appeared that you saw me with her and I was being an ass that day so I said some really terrible things to you and we broke up..then all I remember is me smashing vodka bottles and the last thing I remember is that a police officer knocked on the door..after that I had an agony..'
I start to shiver as I close my eyes and suddenly something in my head hits me hard.
'In brief the thing was that I technically lied to you but didn't meant to because if I told you I was still using them ..You would be mad at me and that's what exactly happened.I have no idea what was wrong with me that day,but there was something I was mad about I guess,so all the anger I had was thrown on you,I didn't really think what was I saying.'
I remain speechless.
'Ethan I need to..I think I have to get some fresh air..'I tell him,he gives me worried look.
'Yeah okay but can I come with you?Because last time..'
'Last time when I went out from that door I tried to commit a suicide?'I sarcastically ask,his face is pale cold.
'No I didn't mean that..'He mutters.
I shake my head and stand up,I am not mad,being mad is the last thing I am now,I guess I'm just confused?
Well maybe not all confused but I still need to get away and think a little bit for my own.
'I think I remember..'I mutter.
Ethan gives me a worried look as I get up and take my flannel and put it on,I walk out of my house and run,afraid that Ethan will go after me. I think I really need to be alone right now to think about everything.I go down a few streets and after a while wandering around I find myself in front of a huge metal gate which appears to be a cemetery gate.
I shiver because I appeared here unconsciously,I have no idea what I'm doing here.I open the gate door anyway which has a loud terrible crack noise,I go in and walk slowly.
This place is very grim and lonely but at the same time quite terrifying in a way.I want to think I'm all alone here but the dead people under this ground where I stand,don't let me think that.I look around but see nobody,I continue walking.
If I died today,would anyone be satisfied with the last conversation we had?Would my death change anyone's life?How did I end up here?
Suddenly I see a woman of a middle age,she has a white hair and is wearing black clothes.Her face looks young but has scars and her hair is most likely dyed,she is quite skinny and when she looks up at me and I freeze.
The likeness is obvious,she has almost the same face features that I have and our eye color is very similar.
She stands up from where she was sitting I see the grave stones,there's something curved on the stones,I narrow my eyes to see 'The Williams Family.' and my stomach drops,I had parents who died in an accident..I remember they left me and went somewhere..but how can I not remember the whole thing?
'Avery?'This unknown woman refers me,how does she know my name?
'Who are you?'I ask her.
'My lord is that really you?'She sadly smiles at me and comes closer but I take a step back.
'My dear baby.'Her words come out as a shock.
'Who are you?'My voice raises.
'Don't you remember me?Oh but you were so little..I thought I lost you forever..'She mutters something but I can't really hear it.
'No..I..I have an amnesia but I don't really think I knew you anyway.'I tell her.
'Amnesia?What happened to you?'She asks curiously.
'Nothing really,I wonder again who are you.'I say strictly.
'I'm your mother Avery.'
Your mother.
My mother?
No..no..My mother?!
I ironically laugh.
'No you must be mistaken.'I say even though I can see that we look alike a lot.
'My mother is laying down there.'
'No Avery,she wasn't your mother.'She shakes her head.
'Why would I trust you?'I ask her.
'But can't you see?'
'See what?'
'We look alike Avery.'
'Yeah you may be someone related to me but I can't believe how can you be my mother.'I snap.
'We can take dna test.'She happily offers.
'No no..Here I am in the middle of nowhere and a complete stranger woman appears and tells me she is my mother which is impossible to believe because I see my grave where my actual mother is buried and you tell me now that she wasn't my mother?What an actual fuck?!'I raise my voice.
'I'm sorry Avery..I really am,what's happening is all my fault,your mother to be was my sister.Let me explain it and if you don't believe me I offer you to take dna tests please.'She begs and somehow and accept her.
'Fine,tell me what you have to say.'
'How about we sit there?'She points on a stone chair.
'I will tell you everything you need to know and you decide to believe me or not.'She says.'When I was 16 years old I got pregnant from my high school boyfriend who was a jerk and left me..My parents would kill me if they knew I was pregnant and I had no choice but to leave,the only hope was my older sister..but she was a cruel girl and she always envied me,even though she had everything,a husband and life in general.I know I may look old but I'm 34 years old and my life made me look like this.
So I went to my sister and told her everything,she was very confused but she agreed my terms,in which I would give a birth to my baby and she would raise you as her baby because Gregor and her were trying for years but they couldn't have a baby..I stayed with her that nine months and after that I left you with her,I know this may make me a cruel woman but if I had you with me you wouldn't be alive today..'I almost laugh at her words.
'I was poor,my family wouldn't want me and my sister couldn't save me forever.I went away form home and started working on my own,I would stay where I worked because the owner of the café I worked was a kind woman.
When I finally managed to stand on my feet I decided to come back and take you with me but Gregor,your 'dad' didn't let me..'
'So it appears that I am your daughter in reality and they were not my real parents?'I say and suddenly my head pounds.Ouch.
'They must have been very cruel to you.'She says.
'Yeah..'I mutter.
'What happened to you?'I ask her.
'After a while I met a man and we married but he was cruel to me and he'd drink and beat me..Luckily I managed to leave him,police found him dead after a while..Now I work in a publishing and have my own little apartment..I heard about their death and sometimes I come here,even though my sister wasn't a perfect woman she was still my older sister.'
'Tell me about yourself dear.'She asks me.
'I..recently got out of hospital after I had an accident and I have amnesia right now,but I still can remember a few things day by day..I live in my own house and worked in a library but I don't know about now because I haven't been there for a while..I have a few friends who help me and..that's it I guess.'I murmur.
'I know I appeared in your life very suddenly and not in the best time ever but I hope I will have the chance to see you again and be the mother which I couldn't manage to be earlier.'She gives me a warm smile.
'I don't even know your name.'
'My name's Violet,Violet Henning.'
