Like mother like daughter | Paul McCartney (COMPLETE)

Part 14 - Heart to heart

*Story time!!
*Also Cecilia is too good for this world and we don't deserve her I know!!😭😭😭*

~~~~~

Cecilia's POV:-

God, I felt terrible.

I couldn't believe I actually thought that mom would do something like this on purpose.
Of course she didn't mean to hurt me.
Of course she didn't mean to do any of this.

How could I not see it?
How could I not see the intentions of my own mother?

And the things I called her!

Fuck!

I felt terrible. Absolutely terrible.

If there was anyway I could take back those words, I would... I definitely would.

Now I didn't even know how I was going to face her after all of this.

I didn't even let her explain to me, though there really wasn't much to explain.

But I still had so many questions in my mind.

If she loved Paul then why did she get married to dad in the first place?
Also, why didn't she ever try to divorce dad if she really were that unhappy with him?

My stomach felt in knots as I tried to replay all those things Paul told me, trying to correlate it with the things, I have been seeing as well as ignoring ever since I was a child.

I wanted to know the answer to those questions, but could I?

Katniss' POV:-

I spent the rest of the day, thinking and worrying about Cecilia.

Of course, she must have gone to Paul who in return must have told her everything.

Oh my god, what have I done?

How could I be so blinded with my own selfishness and desires that I completely undermined my own child?

She must be hating me now.
Just how she should be.

I felt terrible but at the same time, I felt nervous thinking about what if she goes on to do something dreadful to herself?

No, no no!

She cannot do that.
She wouldn't do that.

I mean-

"Mom?"

I turn around and see Cecilia, shrugging by the door.

I didn't even realize she had come back home.

"Mom I-"

However, I cut her off.

I walk over to her and take her cold, clammy hands in mine.

"I am sorry Cecilia... I am so sorry... i-.. I know I shouldn't have hidden anything from you..  I mean, I should have told you everything about me and Paul the day you brought him to our house. I mean.. that way none of this would have happened in the first place! And God, I feel extremely awful.... extremely awful..."

I break down crying when I feel Cecilia's fingers grazing over my cheekbone.

"No mom. I am sorry. I didn't even try listening to you and went on cursing you and calling you all terrible names.. I am the one who should be sorry mom. I didn't even know that you and Paul- *sudden break* I was the one who came between you two... you never came in between us... there wasn't even an 'us'... for him, there was only you..."
