Chapter 2

I just wanted to apologize

The next day I stayed in bed and thought about everything that just had happened.

My mum who turned out to not be my birthmother had deceived me my whole life. I was mad at her for keeping it a secret and pretending to be my mum with fake pictures of her pregnancy.

I could understand her at some point but I was beyond forgiving her so soon.

After I decided to get up and to get some cereals I thought about leaving or at least staying at Aimees' for a couple of days.

Meredith really tried to be nice this morning and even offered to talk about this but I couldn't stand it so I took off to my best friends house before she went to the hospital for work.

Aimee opened with big eyes. "Hey Marla, everything's alright?"

"Not really", I said and told her the story as we went to her room. Aimee knew about my abillity to see the past and I knew about her secret: She was a witch.

The crazy thing is that once I told her about me, she had spend days and nights to understand why I had this specialpower. She said that it was impossible for a human to do those things. At first she thought I was a witch, too, but it turned out to be false.

Till now we didn't knew the reason why but after three years I just gave up to find an answer. All I knew was that I could only travel back to the time where I lived.

And if I wanted to see what happened in a special place I had to be there present.

"So you're really adopted?"

"Apparently. She didn't deny it."

"That would change everything, you know?"

"I know. Hey, do you mind if I stay here for a few days until I'm ready to face her?"

"Sure. You're welcomed as always", she told me with a big smile on her face. "Thank you!" I hugged her tightly and returned home to pick up my stuff before Meredith was coming back from work.

It was a week ago since I found out that I was adopted. I stayed at Aimees' the whole week. I called Meredith every day to tell her that I was fine so that she wouldn't have to worry. But as soon as she tried to talk about it, I wished her a beautiful day and hung up. I wasn't ready. I knew that I was overreacting but I couldn't help myself.

"Do you still have that black necklace you bought a few months ago?", Aimee asked. "Yeah sure, why?"

"I'd like to wear it today. Tyler and I are together for a year now. I'm pretty sure that this necklace will fit perfectly with my dress I'll be wearing.", she said excited.

"Well I can get it, it's at my house."

"You'd do that?", she asked surprised.

"Yeah, why not? It's your day today. And I think that Meredith would like to see me again. I was thinking about apologizing to her for taking off so that'll be no problem."

And with that I drove to my house. When I was in my street I noticed amounts of police cars and fire engines and an ambulance. I pulled to the edge and got out. I had a sick feeling in my stomach. Suddenly it hit me violently.

The cars were standing in front of my house or what was left of it. There must have been a fire inside of it.

I ran towards my house until a police man stopped me.

"What's happening here? Why is everyone here?", I cried.

"Please calm doen, Miss", the police man said in a calm voice.

"Where's my mum? Did something happen to her?"

Another man approached and looked at me with sad eyes. "I'm sorry, but you're mother is gone."

My breath stucked in my throat and tears were spilling out of my eyes.

"No!", I screamed and shook my head. "You're lying! She can't be dead! I was talking to her a few hours ago! She just can't pass away!", I cried harder as shock hit me and I turned to stone.

Suddenly everything seemed to be far away, the voices and the steps and even the words of the policemen were slurred and I couldn't hear a thing. I was numb, my hands turned to ice and my vision turned blur.

I just wanted to apologize. I was ready to listen to her and to try to understand her motives and now everything was gone. She died in believing that her daughter never forgave her.

They said it was an gas explosion in the kitchen. I didn't exactly listen to the men talking to me. I just nodded and went away, didn't matter what they said to me. A breeze threw my hair forward and a picture flew ahead of me and fell to the ground. I picked it up and it showed her with me and my father who had died six years ago on cancer.

I took that picture and walked to Aimees house. I ignored my phone ringing and sat down on her porch as soon as I reached it.

I sat there staring numbly at the picture and realized that I was alone. I had no one left to take care of me anymore. No mother, no father and no aunt. I never got to know my grandparents because they didn't want anything to do with my mum so why would they want to see me? I was lost in thoughts about my loneliness.

And that was the moment when I realised that I needed to find my birth mother. I needed to find Coraline Forbes.

Is it good? Or are things illogical? Just let me know ;)
