Tatum's POV:

"Tatum,wake up honey, wake up.We still have to go see the land that you want." I hear my mom's voice echo as I awaken from my truncated slumber.

"No, let me sleep." I groan and pull the covers over my head.

"Come on, it's not even that early it's 12 am, you've slept late enough. "she continues nagging.

Feeling frustrated I lift up the covers abruptly and sit up to look at her.

"Mom I barely even slept, I fell asleep at sunrise, now please I need some rest." I say struggling to keep my eyes open.

"Why didn't you get any sleep last night?" She asks.

"I couldn't sleep last night.I had a terrible nightmare." I say and feel a shiver through my body as I remember that horrific experience.

"About what?"She asks.

"About the night of the accident" I sigh heavily and mom pulls me into a hug.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it must've been terrible."She says in sympathy then pulls away to look at me.

"It was and also recurring so can I please get some sleep now?"I say and lay back on my bed again, bringing the covers over my head.

"But what about the site."

"It can wait for another day.I'm really not up for it right now, I don't have the strength at all.Can you tell dad to reschedule please?"

"Sure honey." She says and walks out of my room.

As soon as she left I decide to roll myself up under my covers and I immediately fall asleep.

Malcolm's POV:

"She's not coming" I hear Alina say.

"What...why not, she was so excited" I ask and am confused that Tatum doesn't want to go.

"She said that she didn't get any sleep last night, because she had nightmares of the accident.You should see her, she doesn't have any energy.She could barely even stay awake long enough to tell me this." She says. My poor daughter, now she's suffering because of the memories. I wish that she just never remembered the accident. I wish that it never happened.

"Okay then, let's give her some time to rest, we can reschedule for another day."I say.

I text Jonathan that we won't be coming today.

"So what do we do now?"Alina asks.I walk towards her and put my arm around her waist.

"Why don't I take you out for the day."I suggest.She deserves it, she's been trying to support Tatum at least.

"That sounds pretty good to me." She says and smiles.

"Hey dad I'm gonna go meet up with Lola, so I won't be home until late."Toby says and leaves.

"Well, I guess we should get going as well"I say and grab the car keys then Alina and I head out.

Samuel's POV:

We're going to the Old Slave Mart Museum later on,but first we went to The griffon for breakfast and now we're just walking around for a bit visiting parks nearby and just talking. Sabrina hasn't questioned me again ever since she gave me that book,but she's been really quiet lately.I still wonder though, why she questioned me so much. I didn't ask either and I won't ever because I don't want us to land in another argument.

"So I've been thinking about something."I start and sit on one of waterfront park's benches and Sabrina does the same.

"Yeah, what about?"She asks.I nod.

"Well I've been thinking that when spring break is over and we go back to Miami, you should move in with me"I say. I've been thinking about it for a while actually.

"Really?" Her face lights up making me smile.

"Yeah,I think that it's about time you know." I reply and she smiles and nods in agreement.

"Of course I will, I'd love to." She says gladly and jumps into my arms.I hug her back and she pulls away then I kiss her.

"It'll make me so happy, it'll make us happy." I say and take her hands into mine.

"I want you to be with me.I see a future with you Sabrina I love you so much."

"I love you too." She says and kisses me again.

Tatum's POV:

I wake up feeling that I can't stand this heat anymore. I throw my covers off of my body,feeling frustrated that I can't sleep anymore,but I don't feel tired either.

I look at my wall clock and it's pass 5 right now. Wow I really slept long. Well I needed it though since I couldn't sleep the whole night through.

I get up from bed and turn up the air conditioning. I then head downstairs.Why is this house so quiet?I see and hear nobody downstairs.

"Hello, is anybody home?" My voice echo's around the house. Nobody answers so I go to the kitchen and see a note on the refrigerator door.

We'll be out...
-Mom

So I'm home alone. What to do? I head back upstairs and into my bathroom I go.I decide to take a long cold relaxing bath.

30 minutes go past as I just lay relaxing myself in the bath and then to my luck. The door bell rings. Jesus can't I get some peace. Who the hell could it be? Maybe if I keep really quiet, the person would go away. A few minutes go by and the door bell sounds again and again and again and again. God dammit.

"Okay I'm coming."I shout frustratedly, but I don't think the person heard since the ringing continued.

I get up and try to dry myself a little and I quickly put my white robe on and slip on my furry slippers.

As I walk out of the bathroom I try to dry my hair as well. I throw the towel on the bed and head downstairs.

"I'm coming." I shout. I opened the door and...Brandon. I completely forgot that I asked him to come over. Oh my God.

"Hey, come in."I say and stand to the side to let him in.I close the door behind him and turn around to face him.

"Hey." He says awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.

"I'm sorry for shouting it's just that I was having this relaxing bath and then you kept on ringing the bell and it annoyed me, sorry." I apologize for my impoliteness.

"It's okay." He shrugs it off.

"Let's go up to my room."I say and start walking towards the stairs.

"And what will we do when we get there?" He asks with a smirk on his face. I roll my eyes and head upstairs while Brandon follows behind.

I sit on the chair opposite my bed where Brandon is now sitting watching me intently.

"What's wrong?" I ask feeling his eyes roaming over me from head to toe. God I forgot I had this damn robe on.

"Nothing's wrong everything's just right." He says lowly and bites his lips as he continues to stare at me.

I shake my head and get up to go to my closet so that I can change,but just before I open my closet door Brandon says something.

"Tell me, are you wearing anything underneath this?" He comes closer and loosens the belt of my robe.

"Why don't you find out for yourself." I hint and walk away from him. I sit on the same chair and sit with my one leg crossed over the other causing the robe to flow to the side.Just to tease him.

"Damn, you killing me." He says.

I walk up to him and move closer whispering into his ear:
"Brandon, we aren't little kids anymore, so you can explore as much as you want to when you want to."

I'm about to walk away again but he grabs me by my waist and crashes his lips onto mine. Just as it's getting heated and I'm about to remove the robe I hear my mother's voice.

"Honey we're home"

Dammit couldn't they stay out for a little while longer. Great timing.

"Dammit." I say and pull my robe back up and over my shoulders.

"Damn."Brandon says in disappointment.

"Hey, the fun's not over yet, let's go to your place."I say and he smirks.

"Now I like the sound of that." He says and I can't help but laugh because of his choice of word.

I quickly put on underwear,my Jean shorts and a black shirt that doesn't sit too tight.

I head downstairs and Brandon and I greet my parents.

"Mom, we're going to Brandon's place and I'll probably sleep over so..." I say quickly and grab Brandon's hand then flee out the front door.

We got into his car then drove off to his place.When we got there. We were practically naked and couldn't keep our hands to ourselves.We made love for the rest of the day. I have no idea what has gotten into us. We were on fire.First when we got to his place, we did it in his living room on his couch,then after a while I got hungry and we went to the kitchen to grab something to eat, but we ended up grabbing each other.Then I felt exhausted then we took a shower together and yes you guessed right again. We made love. We went to sleep, because the both of us were really exhausted.Then Brandon decided he wasn't tired anymore and I suddenly wasn't either and yes we made long passionate love,but this time, we forgot to use a condom,but I reassured Brandon that it was okay and that I didn't want the condom anyway. So we used the pulling out method.

The next day we went out for a bit. We went to arcades, we went Bowling and parks and just talked. I told him about the nightmare. Since he saw last night that I had trouble sleeping,but I asked him for a sleeping pill and it helped me get some rest at least.

A week went by and Brandon and I have been making love continuously. We can't keep our hands to ourselves,but anyways spring break is over and I'll be starting with my personal tutor today. How exciting. Everybody else I know will be working including Brandon and I'll be here studying with my tutor. How fun. I also asked my parents to take a hold on the land that I want because I'm having second thoughts about it.

The doorbell rings. I open the front door.

"Hi, you must be James, nice to meet you come on in."I welcome my tutor inside. He has glasses on, dark black hair, not really anything done with it, and his attire is as plain as can be. He looks around 27,but he is cute.

I lead him to the living.

"Take a seat."I say and he sits opposite me.

"Well shall we get started?" He asks.

"Yes, but can I offer you something to drink first, what would you like?"I ask politely.

"Just water please."He replies.

I go into the kitchen and get cold water for the both of us. I head back and hand him his the glass.

"So what will we be starting with?"

"Business and then Economics."he says. I nod and give him a fake smile. They expect me to learn 3 years work in a few months. What am I?A machine?

Samuel's POV:

We got back from Charleston yesterday and Sabrina slept over. My family went back to California. So it's just me and Sabrina in the house and tomorrow we'll start moving her stuff in.

She's been so excited about it.She couldn't stop talking about how lucky she is to have me and that she'll never do anything to lose me.

She also wants me to meet her parents and grandmother soon.

I really think that this is actually going to work out.

Malcolm's POV:

Alina and I have found our bond again. She's starting to be lighter with Tatum, but she still refuses to tell Tatum the Truth,but what can I do? I don't think it's a good idea as well. She needs to find out on her own and like she said, she thinks that she got all her memories back and since she mentioned nothing about Samuel. I know that she doesn't remember him and if he was important or something worth keeping in her life she would have remembered him. So I guess that everything just happened for the best. Everything just happened for a Reason.
