I did as expected , i informed Logan about this and he wasn't really of some help infact, he was also getting to my nerves now he told me that this is the right way to end things straight , Trust me , he isn't the right one for you and etc. The pressure  game was on , my temperature rose and that night itself i had high fever , probably due to stress and because i strained myself as i didn't sleep at all.

  DAY 1 to DAY 5 of WEEK 1/ 2 weeks 

 The usual mood-less feeling , and Christian kept trying to figure out what exactly happened that made me so off and so out of reach. He even tried to inquire about this from my close friends , not Logan but they all didn't know trust me , i didn't have the energy to ask for advice from anyone else . 

Christian felt that i was ignoring him and he didn't like it . For revenge , he flirted with Jasmine in the group chats we had together even after knowing that Jasmine didn't really like the idea that me and Christian are united after so long .How could he? I thought to myself. Im here straining myself asking for help from my experienced cousin that i mentioned earlier and he is out there flirting with another girl who actually has issues with me now .

  "Jazz.. remember the times in preschool when we did a couple dance , that was the best feeling ever , wasn't it?" he texted early in the afternoon in the group chat  ... Oh , and yes , he called her Jazz for some purpose that i have no idea about maybe it was like a revenge plot also? Because i used to have nicknames for Logan as well.Jasmine shamelessly flirted back after knowing that he was taken .I tried calling Christian but his line was always busy , my assumption that he was on the phone with "Jazz" was right , he had the guts to tell me this on my face.Look , im not the type of girl who gets jealous and insecured for no reason . I basically really dont care even if they were calling till midnight or chatting till dawn but flirting with each other after knowing that he has me , this was beyond the limits that i could endure . Logan is very much aware of this fact about me , he knew that im the most chilled out person ever so if something like this is actually bothering me that means , there is something wrong isnt it?

  Later that evening , i felt saturated. First of all , my temperature was high , my dad has given me the biggest pressure of my life and the love of my life is out there flirting with another girl . No exam pressure can compare to this i guess. But this wasnt Victoria , this wasnt me. I wanted to be okay , so i thought of clearing things outwith Christian and explain him about my dad‟s word nicely so that he would help me instead of hurting me even more . But, i was wrong i couldnt talk to him that night because he was too busy with Jasmine , it seems. Only Logan knew about my condition like literally only he could somehow understand. 

  "What are you gonna do Vic , you barely have a week left" said Logan.

  I wanted to get help from his cousin , the one i went for a double date with but could barely help me . And i think if he explained Christian instead of me , it would make the situation even more complicated as i couldn't really tell him about myself , i barely knew him. 

  "I've no idea , Christian isn't cooperating at all and im just..." i replied 

 "insecure ? hopeless? Is that what you are made of Vic?" he asked 

 "No , but Christian just needs his time to cooperate and things would be okay than i guess " i continued

  "Time for what? To stop flirting with the girl who is against your relationship? This is not the Victoria i know , this isn't my best friend talking to me right now. Whats gotten into you? He defines the word bad ,why are you doing this to yourself?" 

  I really couldn't reply , all i could say was"Logan , he has always been my crush since ages you wouldn't understand " 

"You probably dont understand your own situation , if you did you would pick up the damn phone and scream at him for hurting you like this" he said.

 I couldn't really do much , i refused to reply anymore . I felt drained and i turned off my phone even though i barely slept the entire night long.Days were limited , time was ticking especially when you have your personal alarm clock like Logan who kept counting the days before my time to get rid of Christian comes to an end.Me and my family were invited to anocassion and most of us were also invited .I asked Christian if he was going and he said yes . Jasmine was also going , thats what i was told but Logan wasnt so i didnt have the mood to go. Looking at Christian and Jasmine together , i didnt want to take the chance.

 Logan told me that i had to go and show that i dont really care , dress up as nicely as i can and win Christian back this was my plan . Little did i know , it was the beggining of our end . I got dressed as usual Logan picked my outfit and he chose a royal pink long dress with diamond looking earings to complete the look. My mom did my hair , and she braided it like the princess type , i wore black wedges cause im never capable of wearing stick like high heels . I left for the venue with full confidence , ready to conquer whoever was there and i had hopes that the first person i would meet after reaching would be Christian because chances of meeting him in a fully packed location were very less . Even if i did see him , there would be no chance of actually talking to him. He wasn't there in the entrance , i had something inside me that told me things arent gonna be good in the occasion. I told my mom that i wanted to cling to her as i was afraid of being lonely over there since Logan wasn't there . I walked hand in hand with my mom and i saw Jasmine in a royal slit long gown that she has never worn before . As for me ? This was my second time wearing this outfit as i wasn't very fond of shopping i consider it as a money sucking mechanism. I passed by her and somehow grinned and she just gave me a fake smile that was pretty obvious there was this other girl who i hardly speak to.

  I looked for Christian all around the place  and couldn't find him . Kelly called me to join her and Jasmine so we could take an adventure trip around the occasion .Reluctantly , i had to agree while remembering Logan‟s words that I should show my least bothered behavior . Shaina was also there and i asked for her to help me escape from this two people. Finally , i broke the ice when i was with them and asked for Christian , Jasmine quickly replied the moment she heard Christian‟s name even before i could complete my question and she was like "oh he told me he wants to stay home with his parents instead" . Deep inside , i knew he probably no longer cared for me because if he did he would inform me instead , i mean informing Jasmine isn't wrong but who has more rights here? I wanted to escape from these two people even more because staying there unable to reply any questions about Christian and just listening to Jasmine giving straight answers as if it was a rapid fire round made me feel terrible . So , i told them i needed to go look for my mom and Shaina and left immediately trying not to cry . I texted Logan but he was out of reach that night so i had to manage by myself and Christian was still behaving very awkwardly with me and all , i managed the night all by myself with all ways to cheer myself up , even icecream couldnt help me. 

  The next day , I called Christian‟s cousin the one i went on a double date with and he told me to change myself for Christian and all that but i just couldnt accept that for one night , for one girl who looked better then me for one night and he fell for it . That means i was never anything to him? But i didnt want to demotivate myself as this was just my assumption .Later that evening , Christian called me and i immediately apologized before he said anything and he said something unclear because i kept cutting him whenever he tried to speak

  "Christian , look im so sorry but i really have no idea why are you behaving as if we are strangers"

"Vic" he said

 "U dont know how much it affected me when u were gone , i felt all alone and .." I interrupted 

"Victoria " he continued 

"Only Logan was there to give me advice about how to win you back and the occasion it was all like so unreal and not nice i thought u were gone , but you called im so..." i exclaimed 

"Victoria , i am gone. I mean , lets just go our separate ways and you can broadcast to ur whole contact list that im over you oh and dont forget to specially call Ur so called best friend "Logan" to inform him ,im sure he would be delighted" Christian continued .

  And he immediately ended the call, i wasn't sure as to how to react whether to tell Logan or not because if i did it would just mean that i am following Christian‟s sarcasm . Initially i weeped and texted Christian every five minutes to give me another chance but his phone was out of reach so the message was not getting delivered . I couldn't control myself , i didn't know what was happening to me i felt like i was going crazy i had to call Logan , who else knew me better to comfort me? I called Logan around 5 times until he finally picked up 

  "Vic .. what happened" he asked the moment he picked up the call 

"CHRISTIAN IS GONE , HE IS GONE!" i replied

 "what? But didn't you have a few more days to leave him according to your father‟s words?" he asked  

  I immediately broke down and explained him everything , he didn't react as i expected him to 

"Its better this way isn't it , he left you before you did so its never gonna be your fault when the question comes up in the future" he explained

 "I dont care about the future or anyone .Logan fix this please , i really need you now you have always helped me help me one last time please" i continued 

"Victoria , if i can i would and even you know this"he replied.

 I ended the call and switched off my phone , locked myself in the room and spent most of my time alone until my family members referred to me as a"loner" . I expected Christian to message me after a day or two especially when i   was always looked for whenever my phone is off. 

Days , weeks and three months have passed , not a single text from Christian .Logan told me that its high time for me to move on , life doesn't stop here and all that usual Logan‟s philosophical advises. It took me a lot of time to finally be open to Jasmine and be normal friends . I reached a point that i didn't want to have any grudges with anyone . Logan was still in a relationship with Mia so , i used to try and socialize with Mia to distract myself even though she wasn't very pleasant , this was Logan‟s instructions. 

My days were usual , it has been six months since Christian left me and everyday i still wait for a text from him .Logan has been telling me to move on every single day and his behavior towards me was also changing , well obviously because he has someone now . I could no longer count on him and this added to my misery.

  I felt like i was loosing Logan along with Christian but he wasn't entirely gone. We had our graduation coming up and on the day itself i called Logan and we spoke for three hours straight i told him that i was still not over Christian even though it has been six months and he probably has moved on as there was this one time he replied to my message and he was really ignorant . He purposely asked me how life was for me and i replied „what do you think ?" and he was like "oh well , life is fantastic for me" and i decided not to reply him as it would do nothing but harm for me.One fine day , when i was lazing around at home going through all my old chats with Christian i realized something ive never did before . I texted Logan and told him that i should have prioritized Christian when i had the chance to. I realized this only after realizing that Logan isn't like how he used to be , i was his priority and now it is Mia . I guess this is how its supposed to be? 

  Mia tried to somehow cause misunderstandings between me and Logan and it somehow worked i guess because he started shouting at me continuously despite the fact that i always used to try and mend his relationship problems .Mia told him that i was spreading false rumors about him and that i was into him . Logan finally questioned me , he said"it was difficult enough to choose between you and Mia to be the right one for me so please dont make it tougher for me Victoria , im begging you". At this point ,when i needed Logan the most he wasn't there for me and ive no idea why , things were pretty fine between both of us before Mia came into the picture.

  Mia‟s birthday was coming up and Logan invited me to come , Jasmine was invited too . I got treated like dirt over there , Mia greeted everyone except me and when i fed her the cake , she was like "i need to puke now". 

  I cried out to my mom when i reached home and she was really angry at Mia and Logan but mostly Christian because she didnt know what happened until i told her, eventhough i was given time to leave him but he shouldnt have done it in that way.My grades , my reaction towards people ,my "social skills" and my life was going down until my mom had to actually remind me about myself . Victoria Savannah isn't a type of girl who would cry over a guy or over anything , she would cry for not getting ice cream or not getting enough food.

  I slept right after that and later at night i received an apology text from Logan for his behavior as well as Mia‟s . It was like Logan was still with me but he was slowly fading away for who? A stranger that he met in my birthday surprise party . 

  I said nothing about Mia even though he told me that he doesn't think she‟s the right one for him a few days later after realizing her behavior . I didn't want to comment about anything but i could feel him getting closer to me , like before. I revived and told him to talk things outwith Mia and to give their relationship another chance .I've always had good intentions towards Mia no matter what , i considered her to be my elder sibling. So it really wasn't my fault that he felt this way about Mia now , Mia herself felt that im responsible for this even though the truth of the content is only what me and Logan know .

  Logan is back to the actual Logan. The Logan i love as my best friend...  

  Me and Logan along with our other friends , Jasmine didn't come along though, we went for dinner in a fancy restaurant.I sat beside Logan but he was always busy socializing and i was too busy eating.Suddenly , the door to our private dinner room made an "opening door" sound effect and we were really confused as to who could it be as everyone invited was already present . When the guy figure came in , i gulped while drinking and Logan sat sternly beside me. It was Christian . He didn't look at me at all , he greeted all our other friends and said that he was dining with his family in the same restaurant . Logan asked him to join us .I've no idea why but these two were okay with each other i mean , it has been more than six months since he left me and these two used to meet often in the same gym and all that. This fact , i never knew until Logan told me that night after the dinner itself. 

  Christian looked really different , he looks so much more matured even though it has only been a span of more or less seven months . He wore a black shirt , brown vest and specs. He asked Logan to pass him the black pepper chicken and i quietly stared at the entire scene hoping that Christian would notice me . All my semi-lost feelings came back that instant.

  When Christian left the room , everyone asked me if things were okay between us  and i couldn't reply as i was perplexed myself. That night i decided that it wasn't wrong if we could be friends even though our history couldn't support our chance. I didn't tell Logan about this as i wanted it to be based on purely my decision.Three days after the dinner thing , i messaged Christian with the intention to just have a casual conversation . He replied me without his ignorant behavior this time and it seemed like he was also interested to talk. We spoke about all kinds of things in the beginning except our past. He had a problem with someone ,and he wanted to tell me about it so he initiated for a phone call. And this was our first phone call after seven months of secretly blaming each other about what happened between us.This phone call changed everything , he finally opened up about what happened in the past and apologized too. He claimed to be under the influence of Jasmine who provoked him to leave me. 

The entire scene was like a dramatic film for a girl like me who understood nothing about how to maintain a democratic behavior to go on with life.I gathered the guts to tell Logan about this and he was pissed by the fact that i didn't inquire before taking action like how i used to do. But things were still okay somehow. 

One fine day, Logan asked me if i knew about a rumor that had spread and i knew about it but i wasn't responsible for it. He told me that Mia has evidence that i was responsible for spreading this "rumor"  and once again , it was nothing but distance between me and Logan all thanks to a false rumor i was just getting sick of it , but i never expected Logan to actually leave me even if others did. Never even in my wildest dreams.He ignored me for days with the excuse that this is going to be the "new" him , he was getting closer to]a new girl in class but Christian was getting closer to me until he finally confessed and we were like attached to each other and Logan was just leaving me hanging.  

  Logan finally broke his silence and blurted out whatever he felt about me . He has been acting weird since few days after he questioned me about the rumor and there was nothing to be said after this.Initially , it was just "ignoring" that was still okay although this was very unusual for Logan to do yet ,he did so.  

  This was our first awkward text "conversation" initially 

 Vic : Hi

 Logan : yes hi 

Vic : Hi

 Logan : bye 

Vic : rude

 Logan : byee 

Vic : whatsup with u man seriously? 

Logan : need to skype with my friends

 Vic : oh have fun bye than  

  Conversation number two 

Vic : hey u never came back after saying byee , seems like someone has forgotten his bestfriend now 

Logan : dont make fun of me

 Vic : HAHA what? Is someone taking my place in your life now hmm?

 Logan : No , im good. Its like if i wanted someone to take over your place i definitely can . U know for example , if i have a video game , i‟ll only trade it for a new one if the new one is better but this wont happen if im just in love with the old one ,no matter what.

 Vic : ah , but some people do replace others without realizing . Ever heard of that?

 Logan: I control my actions , always in conscious.

 Vic : wow someone‟s getting emotional  

  Logan : seems like you and Christian are back together?

 Vic : no comments to that as for now ,hahaha but u know i‟ll ask you before doing anything right

 Logan : after all , im your adviser .

  This was already starting to get intense ,even though i wasn't aware of it at that time. The next thing that happened was ...

 Vic : buzz buzz LOGAAAAAN buzzzz

Logan: yes victoria 

Vic : what? Did you just call me Victoria? Ewww dont

Logan : okay vic 

Vic : sooooo whatsupp friendd? 

Logan : is there something important ? 

Vic : nope , but i am. 

Logan : I‟ll talk to you later , bye.

 And once again he never came back. Finally , this was what happened.....

Logan : Vic you busy? I need to talk 

Vic : nopeee tell me why you didnt text mee , im still mad at you!

Logan : lets be serious shall we?

 Vic : yes sirr! I mean okay Logan.. 

Logan : Look , Mia has already shown me what you have done so there is no point of hiding it anymore . You told everyone that i held hands with a stranger and i did inappropriate stuff with her . Why would Mia lie? Initially i refused to believe her but she showed me her text message with a friend and her friend clearly mentioned your name. 

Vic : why on earth would i do that Logan?

 Logan : is this some kind of revenge? 

Vic : what? You know very well i would never harm you . Whats gotten into you man seriously? 

Logan : You are always jealous of other girls im close to , you always feel like ur place is being taken . Cant i have friends?

 Vic : Ive never felt that way except for onetime and that was not jealousy that was insecurity , and you forced me to tell you about it eventho i didnt want to ,  i thought we were best friends , i would  obviously tell you about my insecurity.And , you never had a problem with it .So? 

Logan : I want you to be happy , i"ll just stay away from you , being relatives with Mia you hate her because of me 

Vic : LOGAN she is manipulating YOU ,if i hate her why would i help you with your relationship problems before?

 Logan: People change , im leaving you .Sorry 

Vic : Are you trying to tell me that three years of friendship with you was pointless and you were only faking it the whole time?

 Logan : yes . Goodnight 

  I had no idea about what just happened .Just three days later ... Christian seeked permission from my parents without me knowing and after proving to them that he has changed , he is no longer the rough person he used to be. He finally gathered courage to propose me in the coolest way possible , i was blindfolded , given extra attention and brought to a beautiful seaside location . It was pretty dark , well obviously because i was blindfolded .Suddenly , he was on his knees with a bouquet of flowers . 

  "Yes or no?" asked Christian

  Yes or no Victoria? i asked myself . Where is Logan? I needed him . He needs to decide. All of this was playing on my mind like an unusual melody until i finally decided to say yes. I didnt make the wrong decision. He treated me fairly , but he can be rough at times. 

  Loosing people who are still alive hurts even more than loosing the dead. We grieve over someone who we can meet daily , who are the most familiar strangers .From talking to each other nonstop for three years and it kills us now to say hi.Ego as a matter of fact , is the murderer of our chance of being friends again. 

  As a matter of fact . For me , loosing a best friend hurts even more than loosing your crush. He knew everything about me, i knew everything about him . The cold war we have during class , hurts me to every bit. Christian ,  consoled me and helped me pass this misery even though he gets ignited if i cry over Logan . After all , he is my legal boyfriend now , which guy would like to see his girl crying for another guy? But no-one understood the pins and needles feeling i get every second when Logan sits somewhere near me in class without speaking a word.  

  He laughs like as if its his last day , it feels like what he told me , he meant it. He is happier than before , im nothing but a hurdle that he got rid of. Rest in peace Victoria and Logan , Rest in peace to all the memories we made together , to the late night chats , phone calls and excitement . All that gone , within a single conversation and thanks to an intruder to our friendship. 

Months have passed by trying to ease the pain every day is now on my daily to do list. Christian makes me happy somehow. After three months of being with Christian , Christian reported that Logan have started trash talking me . Telling people that i cant get over him , that i am a nuisance who would try to gain his attention . Some of our mutual friends even told me that he has a new target now. A new one to conquer , to treat like a princess and all that.

  Christian , who was well aware about all this tried to distract me and he took me for a candle light dinner , well somehow candle light . We had a fun night together ,laughing at each other and abusing each other in a friendly manner.  

  The next morning , i left early. I remember it was only drizzling when i first left . I needed to go and borrow a theory textbook all of a sudden , i completely forgot i had a scheduled exam coming up in two days . Did i mention? After our graduation , we had a month of holiday and we had to go back to school to continue our 12th grade . I misplaced my book just at this correct time. Logan wasnt with me anymore to remind me , he is usually my personal informer just like how an alarm clock rings to awaken you , he was my life clock to alert me for any upcoming events, exams and everything else. My personal warning sign like the ones that warn you to stay away from the slippery ground , he warned me to stay away from backstabbers and manipulaters . The reason why i stopped writing on my personal diary because ranting through text message was always possible , the one that made me overcome the word "fear and anxiety" . Ive heard that we should live our life as if our days are limited and think of ways to increase our day span but do we ever stop to think that we should be adding more LIFE to our days? He was the one who made my days livelier .  

 I lost my personal stylist , my food buddy ,my adventure guide . I was prioritized and now its just like im suddenly disowned ,unwanted . Its safe to say that im happy ,im getting the correct kind of love that i deserve but i‟ll never forget that one friend who gave me his all. I dont mean to sound poetic its probably the weather that made me feel as if i was shooting for a melancholy movie scene. I decided to search for this textbook in our local library that was located nearby Katty's house so i had two options to borrow from just incase. The main street that led to the library was pretty dark not to forget the awful flickering street lamps that were scarcely seen. It was not drizzling anymore as i continued to walk but it was really breezy indeed  . The wind lifted my oversized sweater that i was wearing so i had to pull it down continuously . And while struggling with this , i walked right into a small plunge pool and i was dripping wet upto my thighs. It was pretty dark by then and all of a sudden the rain poured down showing no mercy and leaving me completely drenched all alone , so i had to run until i reached the library. I could hardly reply Christian as it was hard enough to walk but i did hear my phone vibrate a couple of times. When i reached the library , i sighed "thank god" and leaned on the wooden pillar. I checked my phone and received five missed calls from my dad , even though he hardly used to call me unless he actually had important business with me. Mom didnt leave any message nor any calls strangely.

  I called my dad and i could only hear him scream something unclear on the phone,his voice was breaking and i was loosing signal . I had to roam all around the place in search for good signal so i had to go out of the library lane again drenched . I reached the other side of the street and i called him up again. My dad was only screaming "COME HOME NOW!" 

 My heart was pounding , i couldn't hear what he said after that . I quickly rushed home and when i opened my gate , my house was full of people and police officers. Everyone patted me on my shoulders as i tried to make way past them.I finally reached my living room and saw my dad with blood-red eyes crying bitterly.I asked him , "what happened dad?" and he actually took me by my hand and let me into his room where i saw my mom asleep.

  "LOOK AT THIS " he said. 

"Look at what?" i replied

 "Your mother.. she..." he spoke , trying to catch his breath

 "is asleep?" i replied in a confused state   

  He lifted my mom from her sleeping position , to the position where she sat down. She looked lifeless and her eyes  were still closed and she fell back to her original sleeping position. 

  I stared at my dad and started shaking my mom. There was no response . The police  officers took her away from us and wrapped her in white cloth . My mother .She‟s gone. Her dreams were covered by the cloth that wrapped her body and so were mine. I never mentioned earlier about the bond i shared with my mother because the main focus was always my life along with Logan and Christian.

  Remember the time i locked myself in the room? Refused to talk to anyone? My mom helped me out of it. When i sobbed over the loss of Logan , my mom came to my room frequently to give me the affection i craved at that time. Remember the time i was in the hospital , the times when i had to be given anti depression pills. My mom helped me face all of that ,with a smile. 

 Whenever the doctors and nurses used to remove the needle cap from the injections just as i looked lifeless while staring at it .It was my mother who closed my eyes ,and held me tight as the needle pierced through my body. I might not be a good daughter , but when i say i love my family i genuinely mean it.

  My mother is the woman our society is afraid of. She works for a living and she is proud of it. When i was born and everyone was stopping my parents from rejoicing as i was a female and not a male ,she stood right infront of everyone and protested for the sake of gender equality ,a woman who could leave all her stresses behind and who just knows it when her daughter is in pain. Once , when i was sleeping in my parents room after loosing Logan , i re read through all my chats with Logan as i was unable to sleep and Christian was already asleep. I cried and i had to place my hand over my mouth to prevent me from making any sound that  might wake my parents up . My mom lifted the blanket i was hiding under and saw me in that state. Took me out of the room , and made hot chocolate for the both of us. These are the little things in life that makes me happy . You never truly understand the worth of someone until they are gone.

  What is the cause of her death? Im unaware. Was it a result of someone‟s deeds? I've no idea. We needed to accept the fact that she is gone and being the daughter of my family i had to stand for my dad and for the family. My aunts , my cousins . i needed to stand for them.  

 My dad refused to work after this incident, so i had to take an off from my school to help in his business somehow. I managed his files at home while he was in his room.I promise that one day , i would fulfill my mother‟s uncompleted dream of becoming a doctor and a person who would end gender discrimination . She always wanted to do this. 

  I might not be able to express my feelings in detail over here as i lost someone who was a reflection of myself. Everyone said ,i was lucky i looked like her as she was like the flower of our neighborhood. Her pictures , her memories ripped my heart and often killed me from inside . But most importantly , it gave me strength. 

 I became antisocial and lost interest in replying anyone including Christian , i now lived for myself and for my father. One afternoon , my dad came out of his room sobbing and.....

  "Victoria .. i need to have a word with you" he said

 "Dad , you dont need to worry about our business , ive been managing your files you can take rest " i said with a smile trying to lighten his mood.

  "No , its about your life " he said 

"what about it dad?" i asked , my heart started pounding. 

"I want you to move in with your aunt Jane and her husband , only for a few months until im capable of looking after you" he said 

"NO WAY! Those evil people " i continued 

"They have changed Victoria , please respect my decision. Dont make this tough for me when it already is , They promised to take care of you like their own especially uncle Tom (aunt Jane's husband)" he said.

 I looked at him in the eye , gave him a death stare and ran up to my terrace . I needed some time alone all i wanted to do was help and stand for the family. But , on  the other side my dad wanted me to leave ,who would bring food to his room then?Who would manage the files and the phone-calls? Who would manage the house? All of these questions were unanswered by my dad . He told me that if i had faith in him , everything would be back to normal in a few months and i can come back.

  I sat in the living room most of the time from the next morning onwards and spotted my dad coming out of my room . I asked him if he needed anything and he told me that all my necessary things have been packed and i would be leaving by the next morning. I asked him to let me stay with him for a few days , but he denied.He brought me to his room and took out a golden necklace , with like a locket in it.There he placed a small picture of me ,him and my mom . He told me to use it ,its a memory from my mother she wanted to get all of us matching necklaces but her wish could never be completed on time. My dad spent the entire day with me , he even told me to sleep in his room for that day.

  The next morning , well not morning it was already afternoon by the time we woke up since we slept late because of telling each other stories about my mom ,her funny habbits and how she helped everyone by going out of her way. So , it was afternoon by the time we woke up and we heard our doorbell ring . I wrapped my hair into a bun , washed my face , brushed my teeth and saw aunt Jane and uncle Tom standing infront . I let them in , i disliked them , both of them. Im not as patient as my parents who would forgive them easily , i was stone-hearted when it comes to them. My dad spoke to them in private and i couldn't make out what they were talking about even after attempting to listen to their conversation secretly 

 Uncle Tom took my suitcase and kept it in his vehicle and before you know it , it was already evening and i had to leave my house. Aunt Jane wrapped her arms around me and even tried to hug me but I wouldn't let her , only infront of my dad as he requested me to be nice to them.

  Uncle Tom drove for an hour or so until we finally reached the small house they have rented by that time. Their new house was small but it was isolated , so it was like in the middle of nowhere and after walking for a long distance only then we would be able to see their neighbor's house. It was pretty dark , as there were a lot of trees but the interior was clean. 

 Jordan wasn't staying with them most of the time , he preferred staying in his relatives' house so he could hangout with most of his friends who lived in that area. Shaina stayed with them , thank God i had company.

  They told me to sleep in Shaina's room and it was about dinner time by then so we all had dinner together . They asked me questions about my school and friends and so on but i chose not to reply. 

"Thank god you got rid of that Christian"said uncle Tom 

Little did he know we were back together .
