I'm sorry

DAWN'S POV

'I still can't believe it all!!,

After all these years, 12 years!!, my mother is here, and alive.'

...Flashback 12 years ago

"Dawn!, try to understand your mum, she loves you and wants the best for you" My aunt Laura said, running after me.

   I was supposed to meet that boy today, but now I can't because mum says we're travelling, or should I use relocating instead, to another country. And just because the family cannot accept someone without a father 'me' to be the next head

I stopped and looked at aunt Laura, obviously confused, "I thought mum had all the authority, why do we have to give in to all those old wagons, when she could just shut them up with money...o-or anything?"

Aunt Laura patted my hair lovingly, before holding my hand, "would you like to take a walk with me?"

I sighed, "we're already taking a walk, aunt Laura "

She smiled, " I know, I just wanted an almost longer one"

We held hands, and walked truly, without saying anything. It was refreshing to feel the evening breeze, and it reminded me of the new 'friend' I made last evening

"Dawn", my aunt called, bringing me out of my thoughts. We were walking back home already

"Yes?", I answered, without looking at her

"You know", she started, "there are many ways to stop or prevent a feud, without the use of force or money, and that's what your mum wants to do. See, the rest of the family, well except your uncle and I, of course, wants the position of the family head by any means, not minding who's going to be in danger. And what use is wealth or power, if she loses you?", she stopped, and looked at me

"Dawn, you are the next head of the White family, there's nothing anybody can do about it, but that's if you continue to be safe at all times.", she finished and gave my hand, a little squeeze

She smiled at me, looking behind me, at our family house, "look who is looking for you".

I looked back and saw my mum looking at us, expression of relief was obvious on her face. She was about to run towards us, when....

....the house exploded

Shock and pain were not enough to explain how I was feeling at the moment

''MUM!!!", I shouted. I ran towards her, but aunt Laura dragged me back when the house exploded again

....right in my face

....The whole family,

....uncle Theo

....Peter

....Mum

....Everyone's gone...

The explosion subsided, but the house was still in flames, aunt Laura and I ran to my mum.

Blood was dripping from her head. She was not in the building, so she wasn't burnt. But she hit her head against a rock, and she's not breathing

Aunt Laura ran to the building, and fell to her knees, crying uncle Theo's name, as if he's gonna come out.

I held my mum in my arms, and looked around when I heard sirens blaring through the air. The other families must have called for firefighters and ambulances

I cried as a man wanted to take my mum away from me, "leave her alone, you can't take her away from me. I'm not gonna allow you to."

Aunt Laura came to hug me, even if she was still crying herself, "Dawn, let them take care of her",

I shook my head instead, "No!, they can't take her. W-what if...what if-?", I couldn't finish the sentence

"She will come back, she's strong. But if you do not let them take care of her, she-she might not, she's losing too much blood already" she said, and that was what made my senses return

....End of flashback, back to reality

I looked at my mum again and honestly I still can't believe she's here.

I looked up, and saw Chris standing. And I immediately felt really bad for ignoring him. I looked at him wanting to express my feelings, but he seemed to have understood me, so he smiled instead.

I held my mum's hand, "mum, I'd like you to meet someone ", I said, making her look up at Chris

"Mum, this is Chris....", I said, standing up to pull him closer to the bed.

She looked at me to continue. I nodded, "he's my boyfriend"

Chris looked shocked when I introduced him as my boyfriend

'Wait!, did he think I was going to introduce him as my assistant, or what?'

Mum widened her eyes like she wasn't expecting it

Uh oh!
