All My Secrets 16

     I kept my eyes locked on my beautiful baby girl. "Everyone out." I said. I saw Adele and Paige exchange a look over my head.
     "But, Char, we just got here." Danielle said, confused.
     "I'd like to be alone with my family. Sorry, guys. Come back later. It was really great to see you!"
     My friends exchanged glances and muttered as they headed toward the door. Shannon stayed seated, and Adele turned around. "How come she gets to stay?" Adele complained, gesturing towards Shannon.
     "I'm her best friend." Shannon said simply.
     "I'm her best friend." Adele corrected.
     "Really?" Shannon countered. "Because-"
     "It's not a big deal!" I interrupted. "Adele, Shannon has nowhere else to go. She flew here from Texas, remember?" I still hadn't looked away from Kara.
     "Sorry." Adele murmured. "Bye, Char. I'll be back later, k?" I nodded, and as soon as she left, I burst into tears. Mom, Dad, and Shannon immediately jumped up to comfort me.
     Above Kara's left eye was a nasty looking bruise, and a small row of stitches adorned her right leg. 3 Hello Kitty bandaids were lined up on her shoulder. Hiccuping, I held out my arms. Mom gently placed Kara down on the bed with me.
     She threw her arms around my neck, and I buried my face in her uninjured shoulder. "Oh, baby." I sobbed. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, Kara."
     She poked my back with her little finger. "Why you crying, Mommy?" She asked earnestly.
     I looked up, and met her eyes. "I just love you so much." I explained, gazing into her big, sky blue, eyes.
     A laugh burbled out of her mouth, revealing two small rows of pearly white teeth. "I love you too, Mommy!"
