Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Krystina's POV
"Krystina?" I look over at a guy who looks about my age; sadness is all I'm getting from him. He holds out his hand and smiles, "I'm Aiden." I smile and shake his hand; I feel my heart skip a beat. He looks at the ground after letting go of my hand; I feel a lump in my throat. Why did I feel so bad for him? I'm the one who doesn't remember people who obviously care about me enough to visit me every day. He wipes his face and looks back up at me, I smile at him and he smiles back. He seems content about something.

I look at the lady beside him, "I'm assuming you're the mom?" I say trying to sound nice. She laughs and holds out her hand.

"You can call me Nina." I smile and let go of her hand.

"Are you my mom?" The Aiden kid looks at her as well as the young girl and the significantly older looking guy. She clears her throat.

"Yeah." I smile but everyone else seems shocked. "Well, I will be in a way." Now I'm confused.

"Mom do you have something to tell us?" I hear Aiden say. I feel something that feels like guilt. I look over at the other guy in the room and point at him.

"Who are you?" He laughs.

"I'm Hayden."

"Why do you feel guilty?" It just rolled off my tongue, how did I know if he was feeling guilty? He looks at the ground and clears his throat, "That's the sign of a lie, don't lie Hayden." I'm taken back by the harshness of my tone. I cover my mouth instantly and sigh. "I'm sorry." He looks up at me.

"Sorry about what? You're right." He stood up and so did Nina. "I hate to bring this down on you Krystina but, your real parents never came to visit and they basically gave you away so they didn't have to deal with you. They were sure you weren't going to live so they didn't wanna deal with it. So basically when you get outta this hospital you'd be homeless." I'm about to say something but Nina speaks.

"A social worker came in while Hayden was here but I listened in-" she looked at him quickly; she's covering for him about something. What the hell am I saying?! "So I was given a card. I called and they said if you live I can fill out papers and you'll practically be my daughter. You're 21 so it's just so you have a house of your own. A place to sleep, food to eat." I nod and look at Aiden, anger.

"What are you angry about?" He looks at me and smiles.

"Nothing." His eye twitched, liar.

"Don't lie to me. Friends don't lie." Friends... That just.... Doesn't feel right. He sighs and stands up.

"Mom can I talk to you in the hall?" She sighs and nods. They walk outside and I look at Hayden and the other girl.

"I'm Aubrey." I smile at her.

"I really like that name for some reason." She smiles wide at me.

"Really?" I nod and she leans closer to me.

"How are you feeling?" I bite my lip, how am I feeling?

"Upset. You guys are apparently my friends but I can't remember any of you." Her face drops a bit. I look over at Hayden and back at Aubrey. "Are you guys together?" I cover my mouth again. Why the hell am I blurting these things out?! She laughs.
