The car then rushed out, leaving me behind. As the car moved, I was shocked. So shocked I stood silent. Only until My Aunt's car left, I realize I was abandoned. My Life crashed. I fell from my Wheelchair and on my knees. I then started crying, and started crawling forward. I was in denial. How could my Aunt do this? Didn't she love me? What's going on? I crawled and crawled as the car went away to the shadow of night.
What's gotten into my Aunt? She meant the world to me, and thought I also meant the world for her, Yet now, I've been left behind. I should've asked what was going on at the Steakhouse.
Now what? What's going to happen to me? Am I going to die here? Alone? In the cold night of nowhere. I looked to my left and right. It was a small neighborhood. I decided to crawl to the house I was left in front of. Aunt's "Friend's" house. Then halfway crawling to the house a familiar figure came out.
"Rhoa! Why are you here?!" That Figure said.
She then came closer and picked me up. It was Victoria's Mother. Mrs. Victor.
"What happened dear?" She asked while holding me in her arms.
At that instance it reminded me of the times where my Aunt would carry me around when we were in a hurry. It reminded me of happy memories. It reminded me of the good old days in Heuston. Before Mr. Ji-Oh came to our life, and ruined it. I started crying. Was all that an act? An act to secure my Parents' Wealth? Was it just because she pitied me and when she found someone better to love, she leaves me? Was I only a step in for someone to love?
How do I say goodbye, to someone who's been with me for all my life. When I couldn't, you always saw the best in me. Right or wrong, you were always on my side. But I'm scared of what life without you's like. I see your face when I look at mine. So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever and now you're in the stars and six-feet never felt so far. Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers. It hurts so hard for a million different reasons. You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces. You were an angel in the shape of my mum. When I fell down, you'd be there holding me up, Spread your wings as you go and now you left me here.
"Rhoa it's alright. I'm here for you" Mrs. Victor said.
Suddenly Victoria ran out.
"Mom. What happened to Rhoa?! What's wrong?! Why is she here?!" Victoria said screaming, worried while running to us.
"Rhoa's gonna stay a few days, love. Something big happened," Mrs. Victor said.
"What happened!?" Victoria asked worried.
"I'm sure Rhoa will tell us when she's ready," Mrs. Victor said. "Victoria love. Help me bring Rhoa's things inside. Rhoa's not really doing well," Mrs. Victor asked Victoria.
Mrs. Victor headed inside with me crying in her arms, while Victoria pulled my luggage. I was still shocked. My feet are aching. We head inside. Inside I was placed on a sofa. My Luggage placed next to my Sofa.
Mrs. Victor sat down next to me.
"Are you ready to share what happened dear?" Mrs. Victor said.
I shake my head. I didn't want to tell yet. I was still too sad.
Victoria then suddenly came after putting my luggage.
"Mommy what's going on with Rhoa?" Victoria asked.
"She doesn't want to talk about it yet. Honey please go to sleep first." Mrs. Victor said.
"Alright Mommy. Will you give me a goodnight kiss?" Victoria asked.
"I will. Go to your room first. Mommy needs to talk to Rhoa," Mrs. Victor said.
Victoria then looked at me, smiled and left.
"Rhoa, Goodnight. I'm sure your Aunt will be back for you. Just wait here until she comes back!" Mrs. Victor said, Looking on the bright side.
"Alright Mrs. Victor. Night night," I said. Still processing what's happening.
"Goodnight!" Mrs. Victor said.
I then laid down on the sofa, closing my eyes.
I couldn't sleep. It was somewhere new and unknown. I was rushed here. I got left behind. I felt abandoned. I'm still clouding my mind with made-up reasons that my Aunt left me. Maybe she is going to pick me up again. But why did she leave me here without saying anything? Maybe she was just tired, so tired that she forgot about me here. But she looked fresh and couldn't possibly fall asleep like that.
Mrs. Victor suddenly came back down while I pretended to sleep on the sofa. She was on a call with someone.
"What the hell were you thinking leaving Rhoa here?" Mrs. Victor said to someone on the phone. Leaving me? This has to be my Aunt. I now can finally know why she left me!
"What?! You're leaving to move to South Korea?!" Mrs. Victor said. "Why the bloody hell, did you not tell Rhoa about this?!" Mrs. Victor asked.
She. Left. Me. I was right. There was no good reason she left me here. Maybe she got sick of me. She got sick of her useless st*pid good for nothing, disabled Niece who she took care of from when I was a baby.
"I see. Well good luck then. I hope you're able to get rid of him," Mrs. Victor said.
Him? Mr. Ji-Oh maybe.
"I'll take care of Rhoa. Don't you worry. I'll help my old pal out. Poor Rhoa though." Mrs. Victor said.
"Got it. I won't tell her. Alright. Will I be hearing from you again?" Mrs. Victor asked.
"I can't?! So you're leaving me on my own?" Mrs. Victor asked.
"Oooo alright, Thanks. I'll take good care of Rhoa. Don't you worry." Mrs. Victor assured.
"Alright. Yeah. Bye," Mrs. Victor said.
She then hung up and went upstairs. I was in rage. How could my aunt do this? Auntie, why'd you go away? I'm still your girl. Holding on too tight, Head up in the clouds. Heaven only knows where you are now. How do I love, how do I love again? How do I trust, how do I trust again?
I stayed up all night. Without knowing my future. What was really going to happen to me?
