{ Mac Allister}The tension in the room escalated as my mother and I engaged in a heated exchange. Every word spoken carried the weight of our conflicting desires and the inherent danger that surrounded us.

{Abebi}I continued my journey, my steps growing weary with each passing kilometre, a voice suddenly called out to me from a nearby car. I glanced in the direction of the voice and saw a man with striking green eyes and a bony jaw gesturing for me to approach. Uncertain of his intentions, I initially ignored the call, my guard still up from my recent experiences.Undeterred, the man drove his car closer to me, persistent in his attempt to get my attention.

{Abebi}The room was shrouded in darkness, save for the dim moonlight streaming through the curtains. The heated exchange between Tony and me broke the silence of the late hour. Emotions ran high as we confronted the wounds of our past, our voices echoing in the night's stillness."How could you say such things?" I yelled, my voice filled with a mix of anger and hurt.."You left me," Tony replied, his words laced with bitterness.

{Abebi}I rummaged through my bag, panic rose within me. I realized I didn't have enough money to take a taxi home. With a heavy sigh, I resigned myself to the fact that I would have to trek my way back. The thought of the long journey ahead weighed on my tired shoulders.As I walked, the realization slowly dawned on me I was the last person to leave the company. The deserted streets amplified the sense of solitude, and the sight of Felix's car still parked in the lot caught my attention. A fleeting thought crossed my mind, suggesting that I wait by his car in the hope that he might notice me and offer me a ride. However, I quickly dismissed the idea, reminding myself that I didn't want to inconvenience him.With determination, I continued my trek through the darkness. The night enveloped me, and the streetlights provided the only source of illumination.

{Abebi}Alone in the cold street, I continued walking. Only being passed through occasionally by the trailer in the high."Hey you, head to where? " A female voice calls out from one of the trailers. "Felixco bar," I replied with a dim voice that barely came out of my throat because of the cold I was exposed to.I quickly lend my hand to her as he drags me up on board."I am Jane". She took her hand out, and I slid mine in." I am Abebi. "I gazed out of the window, the passing streetlights casting fleeting glimpses of the world beyond. The road stretched out ahead, seemingly endless, disappearing into the distance like an uncertain path in the night. My mind drifted, torn between revealing my true purpose and maintaining the facade I had crafted."No, he didn't dump me on the highway," I replied, my voice tinged with a hint of sadness. I chose my words carefully, careful not to reveal too much of my vulnerability. "I just need to get to' Felixco bar. There's something important I n

But my solitude was short-lived as my mother, Madame Beatrice, stormed into the room, her frustration evident in her demeanour."She told me everything," she declared, her voice tinged with disappointment and disapproval.

Her question hit me like a wave, demanding an answer I wasn't ready to give.I sighed, feeling the weight of her disappointment pressing down on me.
