Core of My Heart [UNDER EDITING]

Walls

Ciara's P.O.V.

                       My back hit the wall of the hospital's bathroom as I slid down it. I had exused myself from Charlize's room and came in here as quickly as possible, to collect my thoughts. How could she not remember me? Ever since I've "adopted" her, she always spent time with me. We would always talk about ourselves, but I would never talk about when I had kids. A.K.A., them. Occasionally she would ask, and I always change the topic of discussion.

I know this sounds selfish, but Char just really messed up my plan of telling them they were my children. Yes, I'm grateful that she has waken up, but I'm also experiencing lots of different emotions at the same time. Sadness. Confusion. Rage. I was pretty sad that she doesn't remember me; confused as to why and how she doesn't remember me; and filled with rage. Not at Char. At whoever caused all of this. They caused my whole relationship with Char to fall apart. She doesn't remember a thing about me, and it's breaking me.

Now, I can't tell them that I'm their mom. Because, this will only confuse Char, and infuriate Kaelynn. Kaelynn. My only hope to restore Charlize's memory is through Kaelynn. I know their relationship is stronger than concrete, and I know that Char will believe her sister more than anybody. But, does Kaelynn want her to remember me?

I wiped my tears on a paper towel (which kind've hurt), then looked at myself in the mirror. My make-up was completely gone, my face and eyes were red, and my hair was messy from running my hands through it. I reapplied my make-up, and just put my hair into a ponytail. I had a slight headache, so I took a pain pill that was in my pocket, and cupped my hands with water to wash it down.

I really need to go home. Gosh, I was so tired from seeing the same nurses and the same bathroom and just the same everything. But, I still had to stay here. I was still the girls' legal guardian. And I still had a job to do. Not just my actual career. My job as a mother.

I left the bathroom, and proceeded in going to Char's room, making sure I kept my head low, so nobody would recognize me.

"YOU KIDNAPPER!" I heard Charlize scream when I closed the door. I spun around to see Kaelynn holding her sister back, who was reaching out as if she was trying to hit and punch me. My face fell at the sight. Maybe she didn't come for me after all.

"No, Char! She's good, I promise!"

Or, maybe that last statement was wrong.

Tamara sat the young girl back into the bed, and coaxed her to calm down. Kaelynn gave me an apologetic look, and I smiled at her. This one, for once, wasn't fake. I was glad that she stood up for me, and hasn't given me a look of disgust or anything. These past few months have  had an impact on her life. Maybe she actually cares for me finally?

"Sorry, Ciara," Kaelynn apologized, taking a few steps towards me. "I guess I didn't explain you too well to Char. I'm not good at explaining things."

I chuckled lightly. "It's alright--"

"No, it's not! This isn't right! Char was supposed to be alright, and just like when she fell into the coma! She was supposed to remember everybody! Now, she only remembers me and..."

By then, Kaelynn had broke down into tears, and I instinctively pulled her into my arms. She hugged me back, and cried into my chest. I may not know much about her, but I do know that she's a tough girl with her walls built high. And that she hates breaking down in front of people, especially if they don't know her. But, I know her. Not well, but good enough. Yet, I'm disappointed in myself. I have to know her better. I need to, I just need to!

"Atleast she remembers you," I murmured against her head. "You're important to her, so that's all that matters."

Her head re-emerged from my chest. "B-b-but after all that time...you took t-to get close to her..." she whispered.

"Shhhhhhhh..." I pressed her back into me. And we stayed that way for a while.
