I sat in my room, going through my old pictures.
I came across a picture of my dad holding me at the beach.
We looked so happy, everything seemed so right and so peaceful.
I never knew why he did what he did to me.
I never understood why it happened.
It was such a good life back then.

I looked on the back of the picture and on the back was a phone number.
And a small sentence.

"Stay away from the bad tides"
425-626-8186

I looked at the number and it had a name at the bottom corner.
The name "Silvia Moretz" Was printed at the bottom.

My mom, my moms name is Silvia.
My stomach sank as I picked up my phone.

I dialed the number slowly.

I pressed the phone symbol as it started to call the number.

"Hello?" familiar voice said.
I stayed quiet in awe.
"Hello?" she said again but louder but the sound was louder. It sounded like it was coming from in the house.

I got up and walked downstairs.
When I got to the bottom I seen Miranda on the phone.

"Hello?" I said into the phone watching Miranda.

"Yes?" she said as I dropped my phone.
The sound of my phone falling scared her, she turned around and saw me right there.

My eyes watered and my stomach felt empty.
"You're my mom?" I said in a whisper.

"This whole time Miranda you were my mom" I said as she walked towards me.
"Chloe'"
"No" I interrupted her.

"I don't want to talk to you Miranda, or should I call you Silvia?" I said.
"I'm leaving"

I picked up my purse, turning towards the door and walking out.
I began to cry.
My whole life has been a lie, my mom spent the most time away from me in my presence all along.
So close but so far away.

I knew where to go.

"Hey Sam its me, um can I ask you something?" I asked him over the phone.

"Anything"

"Can I live with you?"
