Chapter 2 Getting Over It

Weeks passed and I and my mother decided to leave the town where my father was attacked,

We are now currently staying at Rillax subdivision - far from where we lived at before

And up until now, we are still recovering from the trauma we experienced that night and the loss of dad's life. My mom is especially affected, she's won't eat unless I begged her to do so and will always stay in her room crying all day and night.

But this noon was really bad, I saw her trying to drink expired drugs to cut her own life

"Mom! W-what is this? Are y-you trying to c-commit a suicide?" I break into tears, as soon as I realized what she is trying to do

I felt so bad that I can't do anything to make her lively and happy but I wanted her to feel that I'm still here.

Her daughter is still here waiting for her to fully accept the situation we're in.

"Mom, we are both suffering! We both lost our love ones! So why?!! Why aren't you trying to get over it?" I am still crying, trembling and shaking her shoulder, I feel like I was betrayed.

Feeling mad and sad by what she did, I left her room and went to a nearby park to clear my mind

Gladly, no one is here so I can cool my mind without a problem

I sat at the swing and think about what happened a while ago at my mom's room

I know I was partly at fault of what happened. I didn't pay a close attention to her. Cause if I did, that must've never happened.

And I understand how my mom felt cause they've been together for almost 29 years and he is my mother's first love, first boyfriend and husband. But...

Her life must go on and I am trying my best to lighten her as much as possible

But I ruined it! Instead of me helping her, I ended up screaming infront of her because of frustration.

In every bad times of my life, my parents are always there for me to cheer me up but what did I do in exchange of that? I blamed her for not being able to accept that dad is already dead and won't be back anymore.

I looked at the orange sky above and realized that it was almost evening so I hurriedly went back to our house to prepare dinner and I also don't wanna stay outside at night. It'll be bad if I encounter a vampire while staying out

Speaking of vampires,

they are recognized by the government as a citizen and are known by everyone so having an encounter with them in the middle of the day or night is common.

We are also aware how powerful they are, they have an exceptional abilities like speed and many more of course.

I actually viewed them as amazing creatures but after what happened to dad, I realized how monterous they are.

I reached the gate of our house and a warm arms welcomed me, it was mom. She's crying and continiously apologizing at me so I couldn't help but hug her back

"Mom, I'm sorry for shouting at you"

She just hugged me again and reassured me that she'll try to get over dad' death from now on.

So I happily nodded at her and went with her inside the house

"I cooked a dinner for you, Celina" Instead of going to my room to bath, I went to kitchen to eat what my mother had prepared

There, I saw our favourite fried chicken along with other foods.

again, I smiled at her and asked her to dine with me

"From now on, we will have a happy life just like what your father said before dying" Seeing how my mother is acting, I couldn't help but cry. She's so kind and loving

I'm so lucky she became my mother

"Why a-are you crying?"

"I'm just happy that you became my mother"
