June Apricot
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
"She's my mother" I forced out and closed my eyes as tears threatened to spill out as I saw this woman and all the harsh memories came rushing.

"Bloody hell, that's your mother!, the...the vicious woman who.....God, what a waste of good looks" She said and I almost chuckled if my blood had not frozen as our eyes made contact.

She had a smirk on her face, I knew she came here for me...or at least she knew she would see me.

I died with every step she took towards me, something in my head said to run but I sat there. I would not run anymore, I spent almost six years running from her. Why would I run again?. I'm a twenty six year old woman.. No way on earth I'm running.

"June" she said immediately she stopped in front of me and I swallowed all my fears. I had none but one feeling for this woman. And it was raw hatred.

"Maya" I called her by her name and her eyes widened. What the heck was she expecting, mum?, mummy?, mama?, mother?...Woman please.

"I see we're on first name basis now. How great is that. So I hear Rosie stepped up your game. Last I heard you were battling real hard with poverty" she said and I looked to Kate's face to see her pale with shock. I know the feeling Kate.

"You've been keeping tabs on me?, why?" I asked feeling insulted.

"Probably to know if you have finally chased your dreams of being a first class whore" Ivor said and Kate stood up and slapped him real hard it drew some attention.

"Don't think you're special or shit, I wish I could hit you to coma right now, but I have what you really lack.. Dignity" she said to Maya and my heart swelled.

"And I see you've finally woven the princess round your pretty fingers. How sad, if only people would see you for the slut you really are" Maya said and I swallowed.

"What else do you want from me, you've taken everything.. And the only reason I'm not pressing charges is because I've decided to start my life over...but now, I'm rethinking, I really use power and influences surrounding me...anything to see you thrown out on the street" I said and she laughed like I was being funny.

"I'm sure you wouldn't laugh the day that happens... Or will you?" Kate said and Maya rolled her eyes.

"What power do you think you have?, what?, have you being sleeping with some top notch guys here?, destroying yourself?, I'm so ashamed to be your mother" she said and I shook my head.

"You're not my mother...you're just a passage I passed through while coming to this world. Some unfortunate incidences are totally unavoidable.. And you're one of them. Meeting this bastard is one too" I said looking right at Ivor.

"Don't you dare say that to me!" She growled and it was my turn to laugh.

"What?, you're getting all touchy feely now?" I asked and before she could reply, Rosie arrive, along side her new mother in law.. The Queen.

"Hel....Mrs Apricot?" She said, eyes filling with rage as she sighted Maya. I was expecting Maya to reply but instead she was staring at the Queen, turning white as sheet.

"You...you're the Queen?" She asked out of breath...I turned to the Queen and she had a shocked look on her face.

"You're... You're alive, oh my God" she said and grabbed a chair.

"Mum, mum are you okay?" Kate said rushing to the Queen's side.. I did too..

"Are you feeling alright ma'am?" I asked together with Rosie and she nodded.

"Do you know her?" I asked and before she could reply, Royalty ran to us, followed by Charlie...

"Mummy, mummy you look pale, is mummy gonna be okay, what's wrong with her?" Royalty asked with tears already clouding her eyes....

I hugged her and kissed her forehead, she hugged me back.

"She's fine..just a little surprised" I said and she entered into the Queen's open arms. Oh what love.

"What's going on here?" I heard Cameron's voice and I looked up to see him walking alongside Sharpay. I quickly looked away and focused on the Queen ignoring the ache I was starting to feel around my chest region.

"Mum, are you okay?" He asked and crouched beside her looking into her eyes, the Queen smiled sadly.

"I'm fine" she said and looked to Royalty, she pulled her into a warm hug and stared at the white Maya.

"Royalty.... This is your real mother." She said and a heavy silence descended upon our little group.. Only the music beat the few guests left were dancing to could be heard.

"What?" I asked, I felt the urge to laugh.. Maya's Royalty's mother...how does that even make any sense.

"Six years ago, during one of my surfs in the town, with no one knowing I'm a Queen, I met her with a baby.. And she told me she had cancer and she was going to die.. So she wanted someone to look after her baby. She looked so poor and weak, so I decided to adopt the baby" she narrated and I could feel myself going numb

"That can't be...that's a lie, its not possible" I said shaking my head. It can never be.. Never!, else I would bury this woman alive.

"June, please...." Maya started and I shook my head.

"Please...please tell me its not what I'm thinking.. Please tell me everything is a misunderstanding. You were not pregnant six years ago" I said laughing..

"Ma'am, are you sure its her?" I asked the Queen and she nodded.

"How come I never found out you were the Queen, shit I should have figured.. But I was just not into the news" Maya said and she confirmed my doubts.

"June, are you okay.. You are so pale" the Queen said and I shook my head.

"She's... She's my mother.. And she doesn't have cancer... Nor a baby, so what is all this?" I asked still refusing to believe what my head is telling me.

"Your mother?, my God" the Queen gasped.

"Say something!" I barked at Maya and she flinched.

"I...I had to pretend, if I didn't pretend to be sick or dying, no one would take pity on the child. I deliberately stalked you, I know you pass that particular route every time of the month... So I waited there since word had it that you're very rich and compassionate" Maya said and everyone gasped.

"So you were not sick...then why did you abandon your baby...even if you didn't have money" the Queen said.

"It wasn't for money... The baby had to be disposed, and I wanted her in a rich family. I was being kind" she said and my throat tightened.

"Christ.. Why would a mother want to dispose her child!" Charlie said shocked.

"Was I that bad and unwanted?" Royalty asked with tears running down her eyes....I bit my lips so hard I bled. God please don't let it cause I'm scared I'd commit murder, please don't let....

"She's not my daughter" she said and a sob escaped me. God, no..no no no, please please please don't let it be.

"Whose daughter is she?" I heard Cameron speak up for the first time, he sounded angry and scared

"I was only trying to be a good mother, I only wanted to teach my daughter a lesson... I wanted her to know cheating was bad so ......so I lied her child died. I stole a dead baby and.....and I gave it to her. June, your baby wasn't the dead one" She said and I sank to the floor.

Before anyone could say anything, Maya was slapped.. Real hard.

"How could you!" Rosie's mum said appearing out of no where. I didn't even know she was here...then again, what do I know....all my life I've being spending time with my daughter yet mourning her in my heart...and I never knew.

"Wait I'm getting all confused here... Royalty's June's daughter?" The Queen asked and Maya nodded. Gasps went round.

I looked at Royalty who was looking so lost, tears rushed out of my eyes as I thought about how I was deprived of her childhood... I never got to call her the name I gave to her, I never got to hear her first words.. Or watch her take her first steps.... I had almost died while lowering another person's child to the ground thinking she was mine.

"Wait, doesn't that make her...oh my God, she's my grand daughter" the Queen said and only Charlie, Kate and Rosie could understand.

"Royalty's mine" Cameron said and everyone gasped again.... Royalty was looking at me intently and the fact that she harboured some kind of hate towards her real parents tore my heart apart. She would never accept me, the knowledge hurt more than being hit by a car. I couldn't help my tears, I cried so hard and buried my face in my hands.

Crying for the years I've missed, crying for the day I lost everything, crying for the rejection to come.

"Please don't cry......Mummy" I heard Royalty say and I raised my head to see her staring at me with tears on her face.

"What... What did you just call me?" I asked with wide eyes.

"Mummy" she said and I pulled her into a bone crushing hug.

"Oh my God, my baby" I said crying all of my heart out till I felt myself go blank.

"Mummy!" Was the last thing I heard.
