An Awkward Party
(Carla's POV)
As we walked towards a fancy Italian-looking restaurant I couldn't shake the feeling of him holding my arm the disgust I felt was so unbearable, and that dream I had was so strange it was a terrible memory. I wish I could get rid of that terrible reminder but sadly I'd probably have to lobotomies myself to get rid of all those thoughts. I wish I could just wake up and be curled up at home maybe if this was a nightmare Madelyn would be able to cuddle me like a scared child again.Maybe.My thought was cut short when Maud came in front of me suddenly."I thought you were going to meet us after some time." I said confused as I stepped back winded at how she got here so fast."Well, I was but something came up."Maud said in response to my question holding up her phone for me to look at. What showed was long scattered messages from both Scarlett and Chotidla in what seemed in a panic as if I were on the verge of killing Sebastian."They were being overdramatic, also how did you get here so fast."I said defending the fact that I was just fine and nothing had happened, while still wondering how she got here."Alex called me panicked with a car waiting outside for me so yeah maybe you didn't know you were slowly going crazy."I gave Maud a slight glare as she finished speaking before looking at the glass and silver doors. Where Alex and Sebastian were giving them our information for our reservations he look towards me and Maud almost if questioning how she just appeared there as I just was. I couldn't help but glare at him feeling a burning sensation on my cheek almost as real as when the day it happened. Turning back to Maud I gave her a look almost asking if I had to walk any further from here but was given a look that could only be described as a look of understanding but I knew she wouldn't break. As if she were reminding me I was here for chotidla and it would be over soon like I was being put out of my misery.
As we finally got inside Chotidla tried to make conversation between me and Sebastian by giving a weird but obvious hint, "You know Carla aren't you interested in how mom's doing."She said it was as if she had dug into the deepest part of my mind to find the worst conversation starter ever. She didn't know that I barely knew our mom well it would be hard for anyone to guess that because of how many pictures I have with her and dad from when I was a baby to when I finally turn 5 and was dragged to that hell on earth with that thing. I can't even bring myself to call him human."I am quite curious as to how she's doing do tell me, Sebastian."I said with almost a teasing smirk on my face as if to egg him on to remember what I had tried to do all those years ago."She's doing better just before I left she wanted me to give you this it was in your room she found it soon after you left when she was released from the hospital."He said as he reached into his pocket before pulling out a beautiful golden locket before I could stop myself I snatched it from his hands to keep it safe and close to me."Where did she find this, I looked for this for weeks before leaving."I said almost as it was the only thing that came to mind as I held it close to my chest, I looked at it as if I was about to be in tears this was one of the only things I had of Madelyn before the ACCIDENT. As nosey as Chotidla was she just stared at me with shock but more than that curiosity like a child seeing people fight for the first time. She finally leaned closer for a better look with almost a smile but instead of going to grab the necklace she looked at me before asking."Can I hold it please?"Which I did lightly putting it in her hands she held it like is it was an injured bird in her hand, and looked back at me." can I open it."I just nodded as Scarlett, Alex, And maud got closer to see inside they went quiet inside the large gold locket was a picture of me looking embarrassed sitting on top of Mr.Larrsons shoulders with Madelyn holding mine and her daughter's hand, the picture was folded into a heart to fit in the locket nicely. They looked at me with surprise as I let the tears fall from my face memories of spending holidays, birthdays, New years all came back I cried for the first time in 15 years I cried.
(Sorry I've been gone I'll try to make time and if I go on a Hiatus again I'll give a heads up.)
