Scars from the Impossible

- Chapter 52 -

I looked over to Harmony, "You'll never guess what happened."

"What?" she replied.

"Jerry's mom and dad are now, well my mom and dad. I got adopted yesterday!"

"Liam! I'm so happy for you. It's cool we both got adopted in the same year."

"Yeah," I laughed.

She grinned.

I looked at the ground then took a step closer to Harmony. Okay, here goes nothing... "So Harmony, you know how you asked how you could ever thank me for saving your life?"

"Yes," she smiled. 

"Well here's one way," I said, "What do you say about going to the movies tonight?"

"Would that be a date?"

"If you want it to be," I winked.

Harmony smiled, "Of course."

I couldn't stop smiling.

Another month had passed since Jerry's death and Harmony's adoption. And, of course, me being stabbed. I proudly touched my stomach where the scar remained.

It seems the strongest people have a scar. I had many scars inside, but this was the first physical one.

Harmony, on the other hand, had scars both inside and out.

And, I had never been happier in my entire life.

Of course, until last month, I had never truly experienced happiness. There was Jerry, but the fact that he didn't know much about my life made things a lot more complicated.

I didn't know it was possible for me to have a happy life.

But of course, I said so many things were impossible.

When I was younger, I thought losing my mother was impossible. I lost my mother.

I thought losing Jerry was also impossible. I lost Jerry.

I thought losing my father was impossible. I lost him first to alcohol abuse, then to prison.

But there was also the good side of things.

I thought having good parents was impossible. Now I have good parents- and basically Jerry and I would have been brothers now.

I thought forgiving Harmony was impossible. Now, she's made me the happiest guy on the planet.

I thought it was impossible for a broken person like me to ever find happiness in life. I couldn't possibly be more happy right now.

How the tables have turned.

Actually, many things are impossible. But many more things are things we say are not possible but are actually very possible.
