Adopted novel Chapter 43

On getting home, I went straight to my bedroom to lay on my bed my heart was way heavy and my grief knew no bound. I cuddled into myself making myself look like a touched millipede, the tears kept flowing non-stop while the migraine keeps hitting hard at this point I don't really know what my tears are for is it for the migraine? or for my loss? Even when we were miles away from one another I knew I still had her but now she was no more and I don't think I could live with that. I felt my bed dip and a hand untangling me from my cocoon and pulls me into a chest, the fullness of the chest and scent makes me know it was Mom that held me, I could feel her sobbing and she keeps placing kisses on my hair while she whispers how sorry she was.

Having someone to comfort me makes me even cry harder, I wanted mom to know I was in pain but I found it difficult to make words I felt as if my brain was not functioning with my mouth I kept opening and closing my mouth which made me cry even more. As if she understood me, mom pulled me closer rocking me back and forth with her lips not leaving my hair while she hums a lullaby to me. I found my eyes closing out of stress and my tears reduced to heavy hiccups but mom never left me alone she was still holding me and her rocking never stops with the hums, she

noticed my closed eyes and stops rocking. I pass out to exhaustion not before hearing her say "a mother heart breaks when she sees her child in pain baby" she whispered.

It's been two weeks since Ocean death and to say am doing better than the first week will be an understatement, I stay in my room with Mom and Dad taking turns to put me to sleep after every nightmares. The past two weeks hasn't been so good because the nightmares returned, sometimes it comes along with full panic attack heaving me trashing and screaming in my bed and my parents sleepless. Am stepping out today because I have an event to attend, I was told some Diamond fan organized a charity event for the needy around the world and their target is 1 billion dollars. I got the invite as a guest of honor and a mail asking me to please invite more wealthy people that could help their cause.

For the past two weeks, Lorenzo and the rest has been visiting daily with my homework which Justin does for me or just to hang out which am grateful for. Most times Lorenzo and Justin holds me while the others pack themselves on my bed uncomfortably but I knew what their silent message was, they will make themselves uncomfortable just to be with me even when they keep talking, arguing or laughing and all I do is look at them without altering a word they were cool with that. I ended up asking them if they were interested in attending the event with me and they gladly accepted my invite which made me happy because, I knew with the boys in the event the 1 billion goals are close to being fulfilled.

We both paired it up with blue Louboutin six-inch heels, set of Tiffany jewelry set and blue Jimmy Chou clutch. Looking at our reflexion in the vanity mirror I see mom smiling back at me looking like my twin giving her a smile back we walked out of my room to meet my dad waiting for us, after taking lots of family photos we entered the Limo to the venue.

Getting to the venue, I peek through the tinted windup window to see paparazzi taking pictures with lots of flashes coming from different angles, "Princess we are here with you" Dad squeeze my hand in assurance making me smile at him. We stepped out of the opened Limo walked towards the door with flashes going around and name calling. "Marshalls over here" "Looking beautiful as always Olivia" "Diamond who are you wearing?" The calling didn't stop but we did to have our photos taken on the red carpet making me wonder who this fan was that the paparazzi got to be this much, after lots of photos and answering of few questions like who we were wearing? Whose idea it was to twin with Mom? We walked into the reception.
