The worst part was over, her break down was mostly over as well. Dull blue eyes stared at the dark liquid that sat in her tea cup. Her mother had calmed her, pulling her to her her and just held her, whispering comforting words into her hair as she cried.
It had all been building up, the pain of being ripped from her friends, her first love. Trying to fit into a world she no longer belonged...it all just came crashing down. There was so much left unsaid in the past and it would have to stay that way.
She had to focus on the here and now and what little of a future she had left.
"Kagome, we can make this work..." She glanced up at her mama and sighed, nodding her head. She was just so drained.
Her mother smiled, taking that as a sign to continue. "You've always wanted to go to America and now you can! To New York as well! I'm sure you'll be fine! I'll call the program director tomorrow and get more information. You've nothing to worry about dearheart."
She barely paid attention as her mom rattled off even more good things about this 'opportunity' trying to make the best of the situation. Once upon a time she would have done the same, but now?
"Mama, I'm tired I'm going to bed." She forced a smile and placed a kiss on her mother's cheek as she made her way to her room.
Maybe tomorrow would be better?
AN: I just keep falling into this darkness...
