Parents.

Chapter 8

"Hey sweet girl. How ya doing? I'm Selena, you can call me momma if you want"

Momma had glossy eyes, she had a soft voice. Her long hair was up in a pony tail.

"Are you my mom?"

Of course she was, I just wanted to hear her say it.

"I'm your mom."

Justin was outside speaking to Landon. Ouch.

We just sat there hugging for a while. She was so gentle and sweet. My mom came barging in the room.

"Get away from my daughter."

What happened?

"She is my daughter too."

You tell her momma.

"Please leave us alone!!"

Momma went outside with justin and my mother came in with an angry temper.

"Do you understand why I don't like these people? Gemma, you are not to make relationships with them. You have known them for so little and look where you are! The hospital!!"

She has got to be kidding me, she is so jealous.

"Mom!! They are my freaking biological parents!! It's my choice if I want to have a relationship with them. They love me. It was not their fault that I'm in the hospital."

My mom rolled her eyes, ugh.

"You are so clueless, Gemma. After you are done here, you will go back to your old life and move on."

"Stop. Just stop, get out mom."

"You are so worthless, GEMMA!"

Worthless? wow. That's shallow for a mom.

"are you serious?"

The doctor came in, asking if he could speak to me privately. I would be glad to. Mom stormed out, she was so rude.

" yes, doc?"

"Looked like it was a good time for me to interrupt things."

"Perfect timing " I gave him a smile, he seemed sweet.

"Well, you have a big choice here. It has to do with your parents."

Plural.

"You have to make a choice of who you want to stay with during your recovery."

Who do I want to stay with? My adoptive mom just called me worthless, and momma just cuddled with me. But Landon. I need him.

"Would I have to move here for the rest of my life?"

He knew what I was thinking, he looked outside where Landon was sitting.

"You will. Leaving your boyfriend will have to be part of the process, unless you work something out."

I can't. He us a piece of me. Having him half way across the country will be too hard.

"Can I let you know after I talk to him?"

"Of course, I'll get him."

A few minutes later Landon came in.

"Hey, you wanted to talk?"

I nodded and scooted over on my bed. He sat down.

"So, I have to pick a parent to stay with just for my recovery. I want to spend some time with my biological parents for a few months, just to get to know them. Yet, I want to be with you."

He sighed, he knew it was coming.

"Gemma, we can be long distance for a couple months. I can visit. "

"It's not that easy Landon."

He nodded.

"I'm gonna talk to my mom and your biological parents. I'm gonna see if I can stay here for atleast 2 months."

I screamed for joy!! He was truly the best. But would it work?
