Chapter 20
Aviana’s POV850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC47Y3CMipN
Previously:
Star sat up next to me and asked about my friends. I told her all about what I knew and then she told me what she knew about them. It sounded like we were talking about the same people.
Now we just had to find them, but that would have to wait. If I’m getting out of here tomorrow, I have to find somewhere to live.
Now:
A few hours after talking to Star Julia came to pick her up and I had the task of asking Mariah if I could stay with her. The hard part would be contacting her. If I wasn’t in the hospital I could go to her store, assuming she still worked there but I was still here and had no way to get a hold of her. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnU7roZlT3
I had asked the nurses to help me get her phone number, they haven’t been back in my room since then. I would try to find her myself but I had no idea how to find any information that could help me find her or her number, at least. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSFtoshrhf
Even though I was in the middle of trying to find a place to live, I couldn’t keep my mind off of my friends. The more I tried to concentrate on finding Mariah the more I thought about the others. If they were real, if they even knew who I was, if we were actually friends. For all I know it could have all been in my head. Although I didn’t believe that for one minute. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1izezgsGF
Finally, after what felt like hours a nurse walked in with a phone in her hand. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsnMhBGNQw
“I have someone on the phone for you.” She said kindly, walking towards me with the phone stretched out towards me. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfFz71Z1Pi
I grabbed the phone and covered the bottom to keep the person on the other end from hearing what I was about to say. “Who is it? It’s not my parents is it?”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVEeicOjfK
She shook her head no, smiled, and made a ‘go on’ motion with her hands.850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PlTvlNKPq
Slowly I removed my hand and put the phone up to my ear. “Hello?”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ930fFPpbC7
“Aviana?” I heard a voice hesitantly ask. The voice sounded vaguely familiar but I couldn’t place it. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ByhrREkfn
“Yes? Who is this? Mariah?”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOYOVBvM68
“Yeah...Aviana I really missed you. I tried to visit but your parents made it impossible for me to even know what was going on with you.” I sighed in relief. They had found her. She still cares for me. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM4yrLqm0u
“I missed you too! I don’t understand why they did that. It’s not like they ever cared. You’re the closest I have ever had to a real parent.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlph2beJoes
“Oh, Honey. I’m sure you’re parents care for you deep down.” I paused before answering. Why would she say that if she knows they kicked me out?850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAWy65K5yX
“You didn’t tell her?” I asked the nurse. Shaking her head no she left the room mumbling something about privacy.850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLEpFTnWnE
“Who didn’t tell who what?” Mariah asked me.850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPnSfQEWeC
“The nurse didn’t tell you why I needed to talk to you.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGPQxTnEtr
“Uh-huh. Why did you need to talk to me then? Not that I mind, you know I care deeply for you and would help you anyway I can.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbmUpvStA7
“The parents you say care for me deep down kicked me out, knowing that I have Star to take care of.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOoxZIP0PK
“You are staying with me. End of story. No other options.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawuMoaVebE
“Thank you so much! I knew you would help me!”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1wr9dyf95
“Your welcome, Darling. When do you need to be picked up? I will be there.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq9kqeLb8L
“I’m getting released sometime tomorrow morning. I have to get all my stuff from parents house first though.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ikdFwCtYp
“Okie Dokie Smokie. I will be there at 10 tomorrow morning and then we’ll go get everything from your parents and then get you all settled in a room at my place. Is that good for you?”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuyx5KDmUv
“Yes.”I replied. I was so grateful to have someone like Mariah in my life. Someone that actually likes taking care of me. Someone who did it by choice. She didn’t have to help me in the slightest way, but here she is taking me into her home when my own parents disowned me. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3dyZUclwf
“Now tell me about this Star. Is that what you named the baby?”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYF5sZmaRK
“That is the baby’s name but I didn’t name it.” 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQReXWo4aBs
“Why didn't you name your own baby….” She trailed off waiting for me to say if it was a boy or girl.850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDvQrrifXg
“Girl.” I said smiling. I was happy to have Star. I could finally have a family that loves me with her unlike my parents. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhdrx2YEnc
“Awwwwe! Thats adorable!”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yrMJCBIkw
“Yeah, I didn’t name her because I was in a coma when she was born. One of the nurses named her Star because she was a star for being born into this life.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv4zby3c19
“Wait. Stop right there. A coma?!?”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNTBQB79zD
“Yeah….When I passed out at the hospital after hearing that my baby was okay I didn’t wake up until yesterday.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIbQcOmBOn
“Thats two years!”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLAu18gLUo
“Yeah. Can we not talk about this now, please? I promise I’ll tell you everything some other time but honestly all this coma talk is getting on my nerves. And there’s some other things I need to tell you about the coma but it can all wait. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwoc4BdXot
“Oh, Yes of course we can. I don’t want you to be stressed or anything. How old is Star? When is her Birthday? What happened to her after she was born. Oh wait answer that one!” She sounded like Kenza talking. Kenza….I had almost forgotten about my friends. I really need to find out about them.850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg88XUAHeE
“This girl Julia took her in knowing the situation and that if/when I woke up and I wanted Star I would get her back.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU4qSiWoOK
“Honey, i’m so sorry. If I would have known I would have taken her in.” The thought hadn’t even crossed my mind that she could have raised her. “Your parents wouldn’t do it?”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox8Nb7hVm9
“Ha, thats funny.” I said sarcastically. “They didn’t want to ruin their ‘picture perfect family’ by raising their teenage daughters baby. The exact same reason they disowned me and kicked me out.” 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RjeNmqcVW
“That’s seriously bad parenting. I’m so sorry you have to go through all that shit, Aviana.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a204UAEOT
“Thanks, Mariah.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOhCnXFvTY
“Yep!” I could hear the smile in her voice now. “Now, how old is Star and when is her birthday?”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifNIvTxMfC
“She is 17 months old and her birthday is November 26th 2013. She can walk and talk, babyish but she can still have a conversation with you. She’s amazing.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyprMZc7Z0y
“From the way you’re talking about her I’m assuming you’ve seen her since you woke up?”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkIC7Jhqoz
“Yes! Julia brought her to see me today. They’ll be back tomorrow with all of Star’s things so I can have her back!”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4PAFEbQEV
“Thats great! I can’t wait to meet your lovely daughter!”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPoUV3Gia0
“I can’t wait to see her again or for you to meet her either!”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGpklZMyPL
“So what does this wonderful child look like?” She asked me after a small silence between us.850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT2IlThFGF
“She has my exact grey eyes and has bright blonde hair.” I said proudly, remembering my beautiful daughter. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5u5CqCcuv
“She sounds like a mini you.” She said with a laugh. I joined in her laugh. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4UkEdQdZX
We continued talking for a while longer. It was nice to catch up with her. She also told me about her life. She now has a boyfriend and they live together. They have a 3 room house so I could choose if Star was going to be in my room or if she would get her own room. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4aeFwveVj
Mariah had also told me I could stay as long as I wanted to. That she would always have a room open for me, wherever she is living. I was so happy to have someone like her in my life. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgSejSLJaf
Throughout our whole phone call my mind kept going back to my friends but I didn’t want to bring it up yet. It would wait till I was at her house and we could talk face to face so I could tell her everything. I could always talk to her. 850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC7FPzYwwV
After we had hung up I had fallen asleep before I could call the nurse back into my room to giver her the phone the back.
