Makye Bullard 

" My mom ? My mom is dead." I lowly mumbled out starting to slowly step away from her feeling a lump in my throat only meaning in any second I would bust out in tears. 

'" No no sweetie it's me...it's mommy ladybug." She sighed crying out and grabbed onto my hand tightly. Looking down at her hand , I seen the tattoo that she had on her finger. 

The same one she got when I was younger , it read " Makye " in cursive letters with an heart at the end. My heart dropped seeing that..

I had choked up at this point , she was just standing in front of me crying. I sighed as my breathing started to speed up before the tears start to fall from my eyes. 

" Mommy I thought you were dead..." I cried out  instantly , falling right into her arms. Feeling her wrap her arms around me , we just stood here hugging each other for a moment. 

It felt like everybody in the lobby's eyes were focused on us , starting to make me a little uncomfortable. Sniffling we began to pull back from the hug , I wiped my eyes. There were so many things I wanted to ask , but it felt like nothing would come out. 

" I know you got a lot of questions for me...Please just let me explain." She cried out ,still holding one of my hands in hers. 

So in shock I couldn't do anything but just nod in agreement. She sighed in relief and continued to rub my hands. 

"  Why did you leave me..? " I fumbled out finally getting the words out of my mouth starring her dead in my eyes. 

I don't know why but I had felt like my dad had EVERYTHING to do with this , ain't no way in hell she just did this and decided to pick up and leave me...

" Let's go somewhere private and talk." She spoke up taking me by my hand and we started to walk out of the entrance and find our way out of the hospital. 

The whole way out  I just looked at her , how much we looked alike...How much she had change over the past 14 years. It was all so overwhelming still having my mother in front of me. To think this whole time shes been dead but really living in a whole other world. 

Once we were out of the hospital , we headed over to this park area behind the hospital. I didn't say anything the entire way there and neither did she. 

Finding a bench she sat down on it and I sat down beside her crosing my legs over one another and pushed a piece of hair back behind my ear. 

" I just want to start by saying...I didn't forget about you. Not one bit...I think about you and that pretty smile everyday. And I always wanted to come back to you I just couldn't.." She cried out again , starting to make me wonder what happened ?
