Purgatory Heaven or Hell: A New Start

Acceptance..? (Yua)

    I sigh as I wait for (Maia) to get back home. It was nerve wracking, trying to decide on how to tell her about being..Aro, is the word?
    Yeah, basically, I can't feel romantic love. It's not like I can't feel love at all, I still love my friends and family, just not romantic love. And, the thought of being broken scares me. My moms been through hell and back to keep me safe, only to find out that I'm broken..? I'm scared of hurting her, or disappointing her. And, if worse comes to worse, I don't have somewhere I can go either..
    My thoughts are interrupted as I hear my bedroom door open. (Maia) was here. "Hey hon. You said you needed to talk to me about something?" I nod in response, a wave of nausea hitting me. I felt so scared, it felt like I couldn't breathe. Before I can say anything, (Maia) grabs a hold of my shoulders. "Baby, breath. It's okay, I'm not going to be mad at you. Just please tell me what's going on." I think some more, before saying, "Mom, I'm Aromantic." She looks confused for a moment. "What does that mean?"
I shake in fear. "It means I'm broken. I can't fall in love, like you and Mom did. It's not like I can't feel love, just not romantic love..I'm sorry.." (Maia) gives me a gentle smile, before hugging me. "Baby girl, it's okay, I understand. Everyone has different feelings towards romance, and yours isn't bad or worse than mine, or anyone else's. You're my little angel, Aro or not, Genderfluid or not, I'll love you no matter what."
She moves my bangs out of my eyes. "How about we do savory crepes for dinner? The ones with the steak that you like?"
"That would be awesome.. Thanks Mom.." She leans her forehead on mine. "No problem. Just please remember, I will always love you, no matter what. Like I said, you're my baby girl. I will never be angry at you, not over something like this, or otherwise."
