Broken Mirrors (Katy Perry Fanfiction) #Wattys2015

Chapter 2 (Love)

(8th March, 2012)

'Hey babes? Are you ready? Come on! We have a plane to catch!' Katy shouted in her cute voice, trying to get her now three year old daughter out of the washroom. No answer... 'Hey babes? Jessie? Hey are you in there?' Katy turned around, approaching Jessie's pink fantasy room, hoping that she is inside. Having a mansion for two to live in is hard work...

'Mommy I'm here! Mommy I'm here!' Katy turned around in relieve as she saw her petite little girl running towards her in a cute sky blue dress. She opened her arms to welcome her baby, lifting her up and kissed her.

'Hey babes, you are soy qwet and I lave you so much!' Katy said in her baby voice as she rubbed her nose against Jessie's. Jessica let out a cute little shriek and smiled back at her mother. ' Thank you mommy... I love you too!' The two hugged again and finally, Katy put her baby daughter down. 'Go and clean your teeth okay? Mommy's taking you out to Starbucks for breakfast and then we have a plane to catch!'

'YAY!' Jessica screamed before planting a kiss on her mommy's face before running into the washroom, jumping on her stool and got the tap running. Katy smiled and watched her daughter, the amazing gift from Dylan... Katy's desperate to find a man for Jessica and herself, she was tired of having to be strong all the time, although Jessie is such a blessing, Katy felt that it would be good if there is someone for her to rely on, to take care of her and Jessica. She kept on watching Jessica sing Firework while brushing her teeth, thinking about the times when she was so down and tired, trying to stay strong...

(Flashback...)

Katy shut the door behind herself, taking a deep breath and counted to ten. She knew that nothing could be done to save her marriage, no matter how hard that she tried. Her heart shattered into a thousand pieces again... she blamed him for her pain... why did he have to be so cruel to her? Where did she go wrong that she had to be punished this way? Katy wiped away all her tears with her sleeve and called out for Jessica.

'Hey babes! Hey mommy's back home!' Katy tried to keep her voice straight, but of course, it quivered more than anything in the world.

Katy fought back tears as hard as she could as she watched her three year old daughter run towards her with a barbie doll in her arm. 'Mommy! Mommy! Look what Auntie Angie gave me! Mommy! Mommy look!' Jessica was so happy about her new doll, screaming and jumping up and down as she dived into her hero's arms.

'Mommy what's wrong? Why are you sad?'

'No babes... I'm fine, it's nothing, it is just something stupid... I am okay...'

'No mommy, mommy you are not fine... mommy please tell me... mommy I love you... mommy please... I don't want you to be unhappy...'

'Babes... Mommy's fine... it's just... a little too much to take in for the moment...'

'Mommy are you angry at me? Mommy please don't be sad... I'll be good... mommy I promise... I will be good...' Jessie whispered with tears in her eyes.

'Hey... babes no... don't blame yourself... this has nothing to do with you Jessie... babes I am fine... it's alright... I am fine...'

'No mommy it's not fine! Mommy you are not fine! Mommy please tell me...'

Jessica leaned in and wrapped her small arms around Katy, she put her head on her mother's shoulder. 'Mommy it's going to be okay... I love you Mommy... I love you...' Katy kissed Jessica on her forehead and burst into tears, letting all her emotions out. Jessie was scared, why was her mommy crying like this? 'Mommy what's wrong?'

'It's nothing babes... mommy is just tired... thank you babes, you have made my day again... thank you so much, I love you...'

'Mommy please don't be sad anymore... I love you mommy...'

'I love you too kiddo... now go and play with your beautiful barbies! Mommy needs to discuss some big people things with Auntie Angie alright? Now go.'

'I love you...'

Katy watched her little girl run to the room next door asking for Angela. Katy was sitting on the ground and sobbing as she chewed on her fingernails. 'Oh my god Katy what happened? Hey are you okay?' Angela said in her motherly warm voice as she took Katy in and held her tight. 'No... Angie I am not okay... I screwed it up... he's gone... he is divorcing me... Angie what have I done? I have scared him away...'

'Hey no... you have not scared him away.... you are not scary Katy... it is going to turn out okay... I promise...'

'It does not feel like it though... I love him... I need him... I need a man... and Jess needs a father...'

'I am so sorry Katy...' Angela whispered as Katy leaned in for another embrace from her guardian angel.

(End of Flashback)

Katy got her mind straight before she strolled too deep down the memory lane. Jessie at this point came running to her mother, 'Mommy I'm ready! Mommy can we go?'

'Yes of course!'

Jessie paused, and tilted her head as she watched her mommy... she knew that there was something weird going on... 'Mommy are you okay?' Katy stared right through Jessica until her babes came to her side and tapped her on her shoulder. 'Mommy are you okay?'

'Yeah... baby do you know how much I love you?'

'Yes mommy... I love you too...'

'I love you so much babes... come on... let's go...'
