Chapter 28: Just A Vacation.

"I understand that you're confused but I know you and Stephanie knows you too," She started.
"You'll eventually lock yourself up and bury yourself in so much work and tedious training which of isn't good for you, at all." I looked away from her staring at the ceiling.
She wasn't wrong.
"Look, I see you as a daughter, Stephanie sees you as a sister and everyone here sees you as the pillar that holds this family together. If you should break down it won't be looking good for any of us." Tina tried to convince me.
"Just a few weeks or maybe a month. You c

* I blinked my eyes open trying to adjust to the bright room, the first I saw being a large framed photo of my family from when I was younger. Last I remembered that picture was supposed to have burnt marks. I stood up from my bed, my head throbbing as I tried to figure out where I was. I stumbled out the door and lifted my eyes, for a moment I breath hitched, I looked around hesterically, this wasn't possible. I ran down the familiar hall receiving greetings as I passed, I ran towards the tower, the wooden tower I would never forget, the wooden tower where it all happened. I reach the last few steps breathing heavily, afraid of what I would face if I went up. I took a deep breath climbed the last step and there he was, in his usual position, support his tea and enjoying the view. I felt the tears fall down my cheek as I proce

* "Well, if that's the case then I'd like to buy this facility." I said dropping that bomb. "What??" Both Mandy and the said together. "I know that arrogance anywhere." Stacy said coming out. I was having way to much fun than I was supposed to, I mean, it's just a reunion. Right? "What?" The girl said again. "Stacy, what are you doing here, you shouldn't be moving especially now." Mandy said running towards the older woman. "Let me go child, if you still don't get it then you're worse than I am." Stacy said. I can't believe she recognised me with just my voice.

*I woke up the next morning refresh, ready for a day of relaxation. I got up around 6am, brushed my teeth, put on a sport bra, some leggings, my smart watch, and a phone holder, ready for a morning run.I left the hotel at about 6:30am and jogged around the block twice before extending my walk a bit. I ended up at a park close by where I rested a bit by doing some stretches to loosen some knots in my back.I looked at the time and it was already 8am on a Friday morning, a few people were already at the park. Most of them stretching like she was, some were walking dogs, some were practising yoga while a few were just sitting down randomly enjoying the view.I was about to leave when I saw an elderly lady pass by, I couldn't help but notice the guy in a black hoody shadowing her, I decided to stay a little and make sure the woman was safe. That was literally my job.

My plans today were simple, visit Stacy and Mandy and get the full story out of them.I have to take Stacy to the hospital and find out what's actually wrong with her, just freezing up one day out of the blues isn't normal at all. Something must have happened that even Mandy knew nothing about.I paid leaving something extra for the waiter, I really did enjoy the service here and I was able to keep Philip busy too, what more could I ask for.On getting back to my hotel room, I opened the door to what I suppose was the dumbest and most intense staring game ever."Eh...

Who the hell-" Mandy started but stopped on seeing me."Adira?" Mandy said in disbelief.The girl she was making out with stood up slowly trying to nurse her new found pain, as she turned around to notice me. It was Grace, the girl from last night."That's Adira?

* It had already been three hours since the surgery began, the doctor had earlier assigned a room to Mandy after she passed out so she could rest a while. So now, I was now the only one pacing to and fro in front of the operation theater with hopes that the doctor would come out soon with some good news. While waiting I slowly succumbed to the darkness that filled my eyes and I eventually fell asleep on the steel sits. A few more hours later I woke up, I checked my phone and saw that it was around 3am, the next morning, I cant believe the operation lasted this long.I noticed the blanket around me, it could probably have been a nurse or maybe Mandy, but that didn't matter now.
