I woke up in the morning feeling positive . I couldnt wait for mom to leave the hospital again so we could do the things I planned for.
I headed to the hospital and left Sandy talking on the phone with her mom . She was quite angry . I wondered what was going on between them .
I walked into moms room with flowers . "My favorite" she said . I giggled "Thats what you always say" I whispered to myself.
I lay down next to her. " Jane do you have a daughter?" I asked her though I already knew , but I wanted to see her reaction. "I don't know , do I?" she asked .
I stayed silent for a while wondering what she would do if I told her the truth . Would she scream , shout ? Maybe send me away? Get scared or maybe even not understand.
"Yes, I am your daughter" I whispered, knowing what I was doing could be wrong . I wanted her to know . Part of me said that I didn't want to lie anymore and the other said I did it for myself .
she was quiet for a while. "I know ..you" she said with a smile . "Really? Who am I?" I asked . "y-you are my friend Bella" she smiled happily . Her eyes were shining as if she recalled all the times we'd had together .
I was suprised she remembered . It gave me hope for her to get better.
I giggled tears in my eyes , I kissed her forehead and then she slept .
I wanted to clear my mind and just recall all the times I was with her , so I went to the sea infront of the hospital . I sat there and watched the waves .
My phone rang and I picked it up . "Bella " I heard dad. "hi dad" I said calmly which isn't me , I'm usually loud . "Did i wake you up?" he asked . "No . I'm...I'm eating with Sandy " I lied . I just didn't want to talk. Not to him at least.
"Really?" his voice asked ,but it wasn't coming from the phone . I turned and he was standing only 3 meters away . I stood up quickly . "Dad?" .
When did he arrive ? How did he know im here ? And why did he come? I panicked .
"What are you doing Bella?" he asked ,disapproval in his eyes . "Watching the sea?" I said but it turned more like a questions . " I thought you were better than this" his voice raised a bit. "I needed to know " I replied.
He was clearly annoyed . "Now I had to know that my daughter was meeting her mother behind my back from an employee in my company. " he said ashamed .
"Who?" I was confused . Who would know ? "Sandys mother"he said calmly. How did she know ? Sandy knew it was a secret . Why did she do that . It wasnt her business . "Why didnt you ask me ? " he asked .
"Because I knew you would say no" I answered angrily . "Then why did you do it ?" he aslo raised his voice . "I needed a mom !" I shouted . I was angry . I wanted him to understand but he is so insensitive.
"You call this woman a mother ?" he asked . I wanted to cry "She is not just any woman" I told him . He sighed and looked around the empty beach . "I wanted love dad . I wanted some one who would listen to me . I wanted someone who smiled when they saw me and loved me" I said crying . " you didnt love her dad! you gave away your wife ! Your daughters mother just to save your self and your company . You didnt want the world to talk about you being with a sick women " .
"Stop Bella" he said ashamed of him self.
" What if I get ill , would you throw me away just like her?" I asked looking deeply into his eyes. They held sowrrow and shame . "Bella" he hurried to me and hugged me tight.
"I loved your mother . She was everything to me , she was better than this stupid company I had . The way she smiled , she danced . She was a joyful person " he said . "Then why did you leave her?" I asked . "Bella she couldn't stay . I tried, but you where still a baby and she was hard to take care of . She had mood swings a lot and sometimes she became aggresive. When one day you got hurt , I realized how dangerous she was. I didnt want you to get hurt again . The reason I didn't tell you years later was because you were still too young to understand. I was a grown up man and it hurt . How would you handle it when you were just a kid? ...
I wanted you to be happy " he admitted.
"You knew , I had to know someday" I hugged him back . "I'm sorry" he kissed my forehead . "I'm sorry".
