Finding Home
"I
have seen so many loving faces
They turn back and leave with looks
of regret"
I stumbled along the sidewalk of the quiet suburban neighborhood. Slowly replaying the images in my head that made me wince.
"It's your entire fault he left!! Why was I burdened with this unholy thing?!"
My mother's words still stung my ears as she took her anger and frustration out on me. I couldn't blame her though. It was my fault my father left. That I had told them of the images in my head, Images of things to come. I made her go crazy and for that I suffered the consequences.
I kept walking until the strength in my legs were at their breaking point. I collapsed in front of a light blue house with a thud. I was thankful for the darkness that was slowly taking over me and bringing me to the place where I was free from the unbearable mental and physical pain. I was suddenly jerked out of my comatose like state by a warm embrace. I looked up to see a woman in her mid 30's holding my battered body. Her motherly comfort and kindness made me burst into noisy sobs.
"Shh. It's okay dear. Everything will be okay." She said while rocking me back and forth. "My name is Jean."
"M-my name is J-Jessica." I stuttered through the last of my sobs.
"Well Jessica, I think we should get you inside and clean you up! Then I will get some food in you and we can talk about whatever it is that happened to you…if you are ready to tell me of course." I just simply nodded as she led me into the warm house that was just radiating with love and comfort. That was the day I met the woman who showed me the affection of a mother for the first time in a long time. That was the day I became part of the Kriticos family.
