Adopted novel Chapter 42

Right now am numb to all pains, I find it difficult to cry because am having terrible migraine but the ache isn't as strong as the pain am feeling within my heart so I kept the tears flowing even through the migraine , am looking at my best friend on her death bed and all I can think about is how peaceful and serene she looks I wonder if she feels any pain because she doesn't look like someone who is in pain, the door opened and the gasp I heard pulled me out of my thought kneeling in front of me was my parents and behind them was Lorenzo and the girls while Theo sits beside Justin.

"We wanted to tell you baby but you were too happy and I wanted to keep the smile on your face, I know it's not a good reason but we are very sorry darling" Mom held unto my hand I kept my eyes back on Emma with tears flowing down my cheeks, "Your eyes are all puffy and red you will get yourself sick princess" Dad explained cleaning my eyes with a napkin. "Say something Diamond, you are scaring us" Ava said but they all didn't know what I was going through, the person I knew as my pillar was leaving me in this cruel world and she wasn't coming back.

"It's almost time Aurora, Cole" Emma's mom told us, she is a strong woman after adopting her for just 3 months and now she's dead her husband is holding her but you can see how broken she is, I stood up from my seat to sit on the bed beside her while Cole takes the other side.

When there is nothing to cheer about When you feel so lost in the crowd When you cry your heart in your life When you want to get out of the strive There is sadness deep down in your role It stops you to reach your goal Cure that sadness and see the world There is light left in life You know how will you feel When you do not feel all bright Sadness has captured your mind It's not letting you be so kindI

"I remember the first day we started talking, you stopped Green and his friends from beating me not minding if you were going to be beaten instead and ever since then we've been together, you became my mom when I needed the love only a mother could provide, you became my sister when I needed someone to be my blood, you became my friend when I needed a shoulder to lean on always pushing me to look beyond my sexuality but now you are gone and I don't think I can ever repay all your deeds but am going to keep my promises to you Oceania" Cole said calmly with tears pouring out of his eyes holding her hand in his, he looked at me with a sad smile on his lips.

After Ocean was been buried, I and Cole sat in front of her grave both looking at the words engraved on it "Do you think she will be happy now?" I whispered to Cole who replied with a nod and pulls me into his body "And she will want us to be happy also" he said placing a kiss on my hair, "Don't go cutting yourself Ro" he continued with a knowing look on his face. "Will you follow me back to New York?" I hope he would say yes because he was the only one I could count on presently, "Wish I could but exams are starting in two weeks and I have a lot of catching up to do" he told me " Same here but after exams you will come right?" I said to him "I will come after exams babe" He assures me.

After the goodbyes, I followed my parents and friends to the airport boarding the private jet, I took my seat but kept my sunglasses on using my seat belt I closed my eyes in hope of numbing all the pains am feeling but nothing seems to be working, "Baby, do you need anything?" Mom whispers to me I responded with only a shake of my head. She couldn't get me what I needed no one could, I want Ocean but she isn't coming back and I find it difficult to believe that she left me already. "She needs to rest honey, let her be for now," Dad mumbled to mom kissing her forehead and mine while he sits behind us.
