CHAPTER 27: The Aftershocks

KATE’s P.O.V.

A day passed. We are still at the hospital, Mom regaining her strength after being diagnosed of having a mental breakdown. She looks fine, but I bet she felt really bad and sorry for me.

“Here, Mom. Eat this one,” I stated, giving her another slice of apples while Dad is taking a sleep in the couch.

I stiffened as Mom reached for my hand, looking at me with a worried expression plastered upon her face.

“Are you alright, Kate?” she asked.

“Yes, Mom. And I’m one hundred percent sure about that. Here you go. Eat this one to regain your energy.”

“But... I though you like that guy?” she asked curiously.

“Yep... Maybe. But I already love someone. And what I mean by that, I already found someone that could accept me for the real me...”

She smiled, looking relieved after hearing my words. She then took a bite on the slice of food I prepared for her.
