But from the way that the doctor had spoken to me — something just wasn’t right.
A few days later, while James was still in the coma — I filed for divorce, unable to bear the thought of facing him.
I just can’t do it,” I said to James’ mother when I told her everything. “I can’t sit here and wait for him to be okay, and know that the moment he opens his eyes, my entire world will change.
I’d rather make the change now.” Two weeks later, James woke up to his mother sitting by his bedside, telling him about our divorce. I moved James’ things out of our house and into his mother’s place.
And I decided that instead of being a wife — I could be a good big sister.
Amelia and I reconciled, and I became a part of May’s life.
At the end of the day, she was just an innocent little girl tangled into the mess of humans.
Humans were supposed to protect and cherish her. Despite the betrayal, my heart couldn’t turn away from her.
