Chapter 21: Her answerI woke up when I felt a faint tap on my shoulder.I opened my eyes and felt like I didn’t want to wake up. I’m still sleepy.“It’s six o’clock Mary we need to leave” Ashley said. I finally opened my eyes and realized that she was dressed while I was still messing up my hair.“All right I’ll just change my clothes” I said softly, I waited for her to leave before I stood up. My eyes were still wide open when I stood up.I handed my bag and went straight inside the comfort room. I just had a half bath cause I couldn’t handle the coldness of the water. I’m still cold.On the way down I caught up with Zyke and Philip who were already preparing food.“Let’s eat first” Zyke whispered.We ate together and I felt something was wrong. They are all quiet. Which I’m not used to.After this meal, I went to their school; Ph

Chapter 23: A day with him The next day I could barely speak when Kyle came to pick me up. Of course the Vescinzo saw him and asked him a questions. I somehow felt that they look like my family. We walked quietly down the road and the silence was deafening. It’s better to be talkative than to be quiet. I just asked him about Madelaine. Cause I can’t find the right words to say. “She’s okay, she’s talking to me and she won’t show up as Monica” He said almost laugh. I asked him how was Madelaine. “Do you ever think of surrendering her to the police?” He suddenly asked, he glanced at me. I have no intention of handing her over to the police because there’s a side of me that I want to take care of her. But it is not possible. The day will also come when the police will see her. “I don’t know …” I could only say. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her” He said and glance at me, We stare at each for a second then he smiled at me. I felt

Chapter 25: Case closed “We are serious Girl, you don’t have to suffer anymore. It’s proven that you are not an accomplice. ”I smiled at what Inspector Velasquez said.   Seriously, I didn’t expect this day to come. It seems like only recently. I was also excited to go back to Aunt Melody’s apartment.   I have no news about her either. “Thank you” I said as I looked at them. I’m still not confident knowing that I lied. Well at first I really had no intention of keeping Madelaine but I found something interesting in her life.There’s something about me that I want to help and take care of. I’m ashamed of Kyle too. It’s a good thing our conversation doesn’t become awkward because of his confession. Maybe I’ll start looking for a job too. I don’t want to spend Grandpa and Grandma’s money. I also don’t want to go back to our province, not now. My first real reason when I came here to the City

Chapter 27: Birthday Surprise A few days later …“My child!” I opened my eyes when I heard a loud shout. That’s from Madelaine’s room.I immediately ran and entered her room. I caught her catching her breath so I easily grab a glass of water.I asked the obvious question.“Are you all right?” I asked as I stood beside her. She is crying.She looked at me with her teary eyes.“My daughter — Madi …” I frowned at the new name she said.“Drink some water first” I said and so she did. I feel sorry for her. The hardship of not remembering and then you are dreaming it all.“Grayson” This behavior surprised me even more. Is it possible that her memory has returned?“Do you remember anything? Who are they?” I asked her slowly.It’s past 3 AM so I’m still very sleepy. But I’m still h

Chapter 29: Savior   A few days later I was just hanging out at home. But I started to find some apartment that I could rent. I’ll just use my Grandpa’s money for my college, and I’ll just pay it back whenever I have a part time job. Zyke, Wayne and Ashley are going here now with Kyle as well. He planned to visit Aleng Madelaine. It will also help her not to be afraid of the many people she will meet. I also cooked food even though they said they would bring. I started cleaning the house. Kyle isn’t here yet, he texted me that he’ll be late again. I also noticed that he’s always missing in action. Maybe he’s just really busy. Around 10 AM I heard the car engine so I thought to get out. I’m not mistaken in what I thought, they have already arrived. I waved at them while smiling. They were carrying baskets. They were just in the opposite parking lot, I crossed to help them carry the basket but I was in the middle of the road
