Chapter 6

"Yes dear! I have heard from sources that your father has

settled down in Canada and he is a very calm guy now. Its time we

reunite!" she exclaimed. She leaned in to hug me but I avoided

her.

"Mom! Bob told me everything! Don't you dare try to make what

you did seem the right thing to do!" I was practically yelling at her

as if she were the child. I still loved her but she wasn't just going to enter my life this easily.

She started to panic and she looked as if she was in staggering

pain. Then I began to panic.

"Mom! What's wrong? Eli, call 911!"

Eli arrived at my house, saw how panicked I was and called 911. The paramedics approached shortly and she was on her way to the hospital. I couldn't stop crying. Eli was being the best brother a person could have. He held me close the whole time.

"Its ok Cait! She will be fine! Nothing is going to happen! You

don't need to cry so hard." he comforted me. We were in his hearse

following the paramedics because they only allowed one other

person to drive with them and Eli insisted on tagging along and I

didn't want to leave him.

"I'm not crying so hard because she is going to the hospital! I'm

crying because she is hurt by what I said. I told her what she

did was wrong and I was ready to say more horrible things!" I

explained.

Eli just pat my shoulder and assured me that everything would be fine in the end. He did make me feel much better though. We were at the hospital in no time. I love you Eileen Morty, you are my mom! You may have left me, but you left me with a wonderful

man...who I haven't seen all day. I wonder where he is. I tried calling his cell but no answer.

I was still in Eli's arms when the doctor came up to us and said

we could see her. It was about time, it felt like days. We walked in to see her laying down singing "You are not alone" by Michael Jackson.

"Hi lovely daughter!"

"Mom! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean anything I promise-"

she interrupted saying

"Oh please! Everything you said was true. I left you Caitlin! I left and went straight to therapy for three months. I missed you so much. I couldn't go back though. Oh! I'm sorry I don't know your name..."

"Uhh I'm Eli Goldswo-"

"Eli Goldsworthy Junior?" she asked.

"Yeah..."

Eileen burst into tears. So did I because I knew why she was crying and I felt her pain.

"Mom I love you! What happened to you?" I asked still sniffing

from three hours ago.

"I'm dying love. I can't live here anymore. Plus my heart and body have already given up on me. Why even try? I might die today."

"Mom, please don't say that! We just met, I want to get to know

you! Please, live for me!" I pleaded.

Eli sat down in deep thought. Maybe he would finally put the

pieces together.

"I'm afraid its not my choice anymore. Eli come here please."

he stood up and grabbed my mothers hand in his.

"Yes, Mrs. Morty?" he asked quietly. They looked each other in

the eyes for a while, I was beginning to get a little uncomfortable.

"You remind me of your father so much. When you see him, tell

him I'm dead. I really miss him, but I moved on. Did you guys ever

notice your resemblance? Same emerald green eyes that are just so

perfect." she lost her train of thought.

"Mrs. Morty, did you kill my mother Helen Goldsworthy?" he asked with tears in his eyes. I had never seen him like this. I was going to cry again.

"Eli! How dare you ask her that!" I screamed. That was like, it

was like... I don't know but I would be insulted if I was ever

asked a question like that.

"Relax Caitlin. No, Eli I didn't. Although you have every reason

to believe I did, I didn't. Listen, your mother committed suicide

just to ruin my life. She framed me so I could go to jail. She really hated me, and I cry everyday for not pleading guilty in the trial back then. I deserved to go to jail for the rest of my life for what I did to her. Helen died for no reason because of me. So you could say I did, but not physically."

"But, why did she hate you? Why would she do something that...horrible just to get back at you?" he asked.

"Ask your father, I don't think its my place to say."

Eli stood up, smoothed his clothes, and wiped all his tears away.

I felt bad for him. He just found out that his mother committed

suicide for no reason. He left the room. It was just me and her

alone. I grabbed her hand.

"Bob told you everything? I'm sorry. I haven't seen him in years, I miss him." she stopped talking, closed her eyes and let go of

my hand. I became worried so I pressed a button to alert a nurse.

Eileen moved her hand to her side to assure me she was fine.

The nurse arrived and checked on her. Soon after she left the

room, Eli entered.

"I called my dad to tell him I was fine. He expected me home hours ago. He knows I'm at the hospital, when he heard your name, Eileen, he said he was on his way. If you don't mind Mrs. Morty."

She stayed silent. Eli didn't repeat himself he just stood by me and grabbed my hand. He squeezed it and I looked at him.

"I guess we do look a lot like our father. Green eyes, long cheeks. Everything. I put the pieces together while talking to my father. I think I will enjoy having a younger sister." he smirked.

Then he kissed my forehead hugged me and joined me in watching my mother lay on the bed. She opened her eyes and looked directly at Eli.

"I'm really glad you know that you're brother and sister. Promise me that you will always be there for each other. Soon you guys will be all you have left. Live life and have a good one." she said with a hoarse voice. It seemed as if she was going to die tonight.

"We promise." Eli and I said in unison.

Oh mom! The tears were slowly coming back. Eli wiped them away and held me tighter. It felt really nice to have someone there for me.

Suddenly, someone was at the door.

"Eileen! Oh my god!" my real dad who doesn't know who I am ran to Eileen's side.

"Does your dad know about me?" I whispered to Eli. He shook his

head and said

"No, our dad doesn't know yet. He will though. Either he finds out now or when we get back to my house. We will tell him though. together." he smirked at the last part which made me feel much more secure.

Eileen and my dad we talking quietly to each other. He stood up

and said

"So that's her?" as he pointed my way. He turned around and walked toward me. Emerald green eyes just like mine.

"Hi. I guess I should say sorry for not being in your life, but just know that I will be." his voice was similar to Eli's but much more mature.

Of course I did sound a little weird to them considering I'm from New Jersey. They had Canadian accents and people from New Jersey talk really fast. I didn't really listen to what he said I just hugged him. He didn't even know I was alive so it wasn't really his fault. We hugged tightly for a long time while Eli just stood there watching with a huge smile on his face.

I pushed away and said

"Dad, my mother isn't crazy now. Haha just kidding she wants to die! Convince her not to, please for me." I had the puppy dog look on my face and tears on my eyes. He thought about it for a minute and asked for Eli and I to leave the room. We did...for an hour.

"Man! What are they doing in there? We have been waiting forever!" I complained.

"I just still cant believe he cheated on my mother, with someone he didn't even love." he replied.

I felt so guilty when he said that and it was very obvious from

the look on my face.

"But, one thing came out good through all of his wrongs. You,

Caitlin are one of a kind, and do not forget that. You made my life worth it. You're the best sister a person could have! It is so weird how close we became in just a few days. I love you little sis!"

When he said that I felt refreshed and joyous! I finally felt like someone really loved me and like he would never betray me or leave my side and always protect me. I liked that feeling. Eli saw how happy I was and hugged me again.

A new chapter will be up soon and hint: more tragedy to come : )
