Harry's POV

"When?"

Selena looked down. I can tell there is some problems with her and her parents. I'm curious. Why would she want me, to meet her parents? I know we did have a thing going on, but that was fake. Right? I mean, none of that was real. She even admitted it to me. She looked up at me. Her face was oddly pale. She looked as if she hadn't eaten in days. Like she hasn't slept in months. She gave me a small smile.

"Tomorrow evening."

She sat on the couch. Her head looked as if it hurts like shit. She began to rub her eyes. She got up and ran to the kitchen. She stormed through the cabinets. When she found what she needed, aspirin, she took one pill out and dashed to get a cup of water. She placed the pill on her tongue and drunk the water down. She came back and sat next to me. I looked at her. What can be going on in her head?

"Harry?" She turned to me.

"Yes, Selena." I mimicked her.

She opened her mouth, but soon closed it. I saw her eyes begin to twitch a bit. I saw her arms filled with goosebumps. I grabbed her hand, it was cold.

"What's wrong?" She put her head on my shoulder.

"I have to tell you something," She paused for a moment.

I looked at her hand. She had a strange tattoo on it. I examined the odd ink on her skin. How it was dark and bold in one part, and light and feathery on the other. She took a breathe, and continued on with her sentence.

"I'm sorry."

I turned my head to look at her one last time. There was a tear that almost fell from her face, at the bottom of her chin. She looked at me. It was real. She was really sorry.

"Why?"

She turned away. We heard the doorbell ring. I got up to answer it. I walked to the door, as I felt the cold tiles beneath my feet. As I touched the wretched doorknob, I opened it.

"Hello." A woman said.

"Hi." We stood there in awkward movement.

"I-I was w-wondering, if S-Selena was here." She stuttered horribly.

I took a minute to study the woman. She had on scrubs. She had bags under her eyes. Her skin was like Selena's. Vet pale. Unpleasant. Yet, subtle. I looked to see Selena, standing behind me.

"I got it from here Harry."

She walked in front of me and I re-entered the living room. Why was that woman here? Who was she? Selena and the woman came back. Selena motioned me to stand up. I followed.

"This is Haricella. My biological mother."

"Oh, pleasure to meet you." I held my hand out to shake hers.

"Pleasure is all mine." I felt her petite hand touch mine.

"Harry." I looked at her.

"Yes?" She swallowed a breathe.

"S-She's not only my mother." I scrunched my eyebrows.

"Who else?"

Selena sat down with Haricella. Haricella held Selena's hand. She began to sooth her. I looked at Selena. She was worried as hell. Haricella opened her mouth.

"I'm also Ariana's."
