CHAPTER FORTY ONE“I can’t believe that all this is happening to my little sister I mean she fall off from a tree and crasher her head, she almost died and now this, what is really going on?” Dylan asked no one in particular, he was so much stressed about his younger sister Alicia, he thought that he was getting everything in line now that both his sisters were already getting used to their news school and had already started making friends, while he on the other side, he was already starting to connect the dots about getting to know what really happened to their father and now the doctor announces to them about his little sister being sick and not just that but the fact that it was the reason she fall from the tree and hit her head so hard that she always died, tachycardia, and how the hell did his sister get the condition, he only wished that he was the one with the condition and not Alicia, she was way too young to handle all that was happening to her, he w
CHAPTER FORTY TWOTo Maeve, it came as a surprise, for the short time she had known Dylan, she had never heard him call her babe or any sweet name for that matter, the two were used to call each other their own names and as far as she could remember Dylan wanted them to take things slow and so did she, but that night when he called her babe in front of Alyssa was something that warmed her heart, she felt like she had just started to know him all over again, it was like she was getting to meet him for the very first time in her life and then she recalled the first day she saw him in class with Alyssa, the moment the two entered, all eyes were on them and not just because of Alyssa but because Dylan was every girls’ type of a guy, he worked out and all the results could be seen from the outside, since it was on summer , he was wearing a tight fitting T-Shirt and all his abs could be seen and the only thing Maeve wished was to just have a moment of her life with him an
CHAPTER FORTY THREE“Thank you for the reminder Maeve but I was only here to check on Alicia and not to get at logger heads with you, I know I could not have brought Mike to your house but he is my boyfriend, no one is going to make me leave him neither you nor my mom nor anyone else for that matter, he is the one I love, I am sorry for bringing him over to your house but I am not sorry for not leaving him, he is my boyfriend and by the way it is not like you have anyone that visits you so him coming over is not like a big deal, you are always lonely and maybe I should just leave you to be a lonely bitch like you have always been all along, you don’t need anyone to care for you because you care for no one but you” Alyssa and said and Dylan was just lost of words, he had a long day and since he did not know how long the two had been friends, he decided not to poke himself in their argument, he did not want to pick sides because he did not know what happened bet

My name is Baker and I am Maeve’s father about you, how are you feeling?” Mr. Baker asked Alicia who was smiling“I’m good Mr. Baker thank you for stopping by” she said and Baker smiled, everything about her reminded him of his old friend Peterson whom his private investigator thought to be alive, according to him, Peterson might have been alive or maybe he did not die in that plane crash and that is Baker wanted to talk to Dylan and his aunt about the issue , he figured out ha maybe it was time they brought their heads together and thought about the matter or the fact that their relatives might be alive somewhere and seeing Alicia that day reminded him of Maeve while she was still young and one day when they were having dinner, Dylan father was around that day and it was a family and friends dinner night that they always did at least twice every month, Pete
