CHAPTER 1
WHERE IT ALL BEGINS.
I know I know this looks like one of the most boring stories you have seen and maybe it will be, but you will never know until you read it.
Charity P.O.V
I wake up to the sound of the kettle blowing. Ahh… do I really have to get up….it holidays for heaven’s sake. Mom probably wants me up early to do the dishes before she leaves for work. I waited patiently until my mom walked through the door, but I wasn’t expecting her to turn around and say: “Charity gets up you need to pack your bags you are going to your aunts. You are staying with her for the holidays, I have important work to attend to.” She says in an exhausted state. It's not an unusual thing for her to say, it's just I was hoping she would have time to spend with me this holiday.
I've packed my stuff and made my room tidy. I’m greeted by my mom’s colleague waiting for my mom to take her to work. As my mom is always in a rush, she’s in and out of the kitchen. “Charity luv I’ve made you breakfast, your aunt sent you a bus fare so that you don’t have to walk all that way again.” She said, thank you mom, are you going to be away for long or…… I’m cut off by my mom kissing my forehead and running out the door. I guess that’s a yes.
Once I had eaten the meal that my mom had left and headed to the bus stop. I pull out my journal and start writing down my emotions once more. When I was young, I was bullied leading me to be very depressed now especially because I didn't want to be friends with the weird kid. So, my mom thought it would be wise if I went to therapy, not like that helped much at all. All she does is tell me to write down my emotions so I feel like I'm talking to someone constantly and so I do so.
The bus arrives and to my surprise it's Benji. He has been my bus driver all my life. He takes me to the Arconia where my aunt stays.” Good morning, Charity, I see your mom has business again”, He says in his joyful state. Good morning Benji it seems so, yet I love Arconia so there is no real problem with it. My aunt really did have it good in life, she is one of the most famous directors in all the US and I do say I love how she does her work. She is a real big help when it comes to me and my mom, ever since dad left of course. I didn’t really know him well because I was young when it happened, and mom never really wanted to talk about him. But what I do know is that he is the reason my grandparents hate my mom and why we aren't doing well for a rich family. Yet again my aunt has always been there for my mom and won’t leave her side. She is like a second mother to me.
I gaze out the window as we drive down the busy streets of New York. I start to drift off to sleep whilst I listen to my music. Soon to be in dreamland…. I'm faced with the door of my aunt's house. Confused at first, I opened the door. Seeing a silhouette of someone. “Charity” they say in a very seductive voice. I start to walk over but just before I'm able to reach them I'm woken by Benji. “Charity luvs wake up your aunts waiting for you.” He speaks. Thank you Benji I say. Not really looking at him. I climbed off the bus and ran into my aunt's arms.” Oh, how I've missed you my dear Charity.” She says embracing me in her hug before she takes my bag.
“Do I have a surprise for you?” she says. We walk to the apartment and set my stuff down before we start to catch up.” So, I have made the biggest investment of my life. I managed to get Luna Romes to act in my new play, with one condition because he is living in South Africa now, he will need a place to stay. So, I offered him a place here. I have so many empty rooms now it just made sense” she explains. Oh, my goodness, Mr Rome's wow ok now I’m freaking out. He is like my all-time favourite actor. “But wait no one really knows him right he hides everything from the public eye. This will be a chance to get to know him better and no one else will.” she shouts. We both start jumping up and down holding each other’s hands. “One more thing, he requested that I have two rooms open so he must bring someone with him, as far as I know his manager doesn't travel with him at all.” she says. I look at her with a curious look. Do you have any clue on who it might be and how they may be important to him? “Not at all luvs but we will have to find out because he is arriving tomorrow morning” she exclaims.
Although I'm excited about what's happening and how things are now, I'm still shaken by the dream I had on the bus. I started unpacking my bags in my room, unable to shake the filling of that dream. I'm called down for dinner and to my surprise my aunt was cooking. She never cooks, she always gets taken out. I walk up to the table and look at what she made. Fried rice with shredded chicken. I look at her, she looks very stressed and worried. Aunt Jess, what's wrong. “Oh nothing, I was just wondering what you might think about my cooking. I thought that maybe it would make you feel more like home.” she says. I sit down and pick up my fork. Taking a bit of the hot dish, so does my aunt. We both sit and stare at each other. Not saying a word, we both burst out in laughter. “You want sushi or pizza” she replies. I stop in hesitation, and she dials a number. “Sushi it is,” she says. I look at her with my gaze when I can't say anything. ''Don't worry luv I agree with you it's terrible.’ she muttered.
CHAPTER 2
THE MAN IN BLACK
Charity P.O.V
After dinner my aunt has work to attend to. Lucky for me she works from home so I could wander around the house and the building all I want. This place was the only place that I could really get away from the real world. It's like another world. I head up the stairs and finish unpacking my stuff.
I climb in the shower still thinking about my dream, I don't know why it is still fazing me it was just so weird and so sudden. Could it be someone I’ve met or still going to have to meet. The hot water drips down my body. I feel so safe and at home that I don't even realize how much time I've been in the shower. “Charity love, are you okay, you have been up here for a long time now.” My aunt shouts. YES, I shout back. I finally get out of the shower and wrap a towel around my body. I look in the mirror although it all steamed up, I still see my outline. Ever since I was little, I’ve been insured with my body. So many people tell me to think about it and how I should be proud of it, well that’s not the case. I get changed into something oversized like usual and head down to say good night to my aunt who is sitting reading a document behind her desk.
She looks at me and said “listen luv I know your excited to be here and most of the time you’re in the house, but do you mind going to do outside tomorrow just until 12 so I can make it tidier in here” I respond with a simple nod and hug her good night and head back to my room.
It takes me a while to get off to sleep but once I did, I was out like a light. Suddenly I woke up to the sound of a crash from my aunt’s room. I rushed over to see her by the window. Auntie wha- “shhhh, look down there do you see him. “She whispers. I look over the edge and see a man staring at us in a black hoodie. Who is that to reply to? “I have no idea he has visited my window every night for the last two weeks.” She whispers back. We both look back and he's gone once again. Not thinking much about it we both climb into her bed and fall asleep again.
I hear my alarm go off. The light shining through the window. Slowly getting up I walk over to the kitchen and see my aunt making coffee. “Mnnnn my favourite you want some” she says. My voice still cracked, and my emotions still turned off, I nod. I head up the stairs to get ready for the day ahead. I put on a pair of black jeans and a white button up shirt.
I sit down next to my aunt as we eat our breakfast and drink our coffees. How long do you think I have to be out? “Not long just until lunch by then they should have settled in.” she says while taking a sip of her coffee. Ok then I will head back at 12 I say “Do you have any plans for today while I set up for our guests” my aunt responds. I looked at her and gave her a look. “Ahhh, I see I can't wait to see what art you come up with this time” she whispers.
After we had breakfast, I immediately grabbed my bag and headed to the roof. I passed by a familiar face on the way up. It was my aunt's neighbour Jackie. She doesn't say much but she can make some really good cookies. I walk past her and greet her with a smile. Nonetheless, I received one back.
I sit down next to the edge of the building admiring the view when and drawing away not taking any note of the time at all. I suddenly hear the back door open. I look behind me and see the man from last night staring right at me. I react fast as I get up to confront him. But he doesn't even move at all. I asked him what he wanted from my aunt. But his response is shocking.
“I'm not looking for your aunt, I'm looking for your charity.” He muttered. As surprised as I am I respond to him by asking why. “Your mother won't talk to me, she despises me and yet I didn’t even know that you were her daughter,” he says. I look at him with a confused expression.” I know that this doesn’t make sense but just let me explain, I'm your uncle on your dad's side. I know that you know nothing about our family, but I need your help please.” She says while taking a step forward.
I…i…don’t know I don’t know what my dad was like but yet all I have heard is bad, so I don’t want anything to do with him. “Please I really do need your help, although I’m his brother I hate him for what he did to your family and your mom please I beg of '' he says while getting closer and louder. STOP! I shout. I'll think about it, just give me time and space. “Fine, I'll give you time to think about it. I'll meet you up here next Thursday. How does that sound?” He states. On one condition you leave us alone and stop coming to my aunt's window at night, I reply quickly. “Deal” he says while walking away.
It takes me a hot second to process what has just happened, but I sit right back down and start drawing again, getting lost in my music. Time flew so fast. I look down at the time and realize that it was almost 12. Although I want to meet Mr Romes, I really don't want to leave it just so peaceful and special up here. Even after my little encounter.
CHAPTER 3
THE REALIZATION.
I start to head down for lunch and to meet our guests. I walked past Jackie’s apartment and noticed that she was packing boxes. I go and knock on the door and ask her what she was packing for. “Oh, nothing my dear it's just a little spring cleaning.” I need to do this some time or another. I can't just keep all this stuff up here and do nothing with it” she says. I proceed to ask if she needs help, but Jackie isn't really one to have people help her. “No need my dear but thank you for the offer.” she says. If you say so, but if you do you know I’m here, “Thank you my dear I’ll keep that in mind” she states.
I'm face to face with my aunt's door thinking about my dream. It's not like it will happen but that feeling that I can't shake. I open the door to chattering. “CHARITY LUV WE ARE IN HERE” my aunt shouts from the other room. “Mr Rome's this is Charity, my niece she is staying with me and helping me for the next month and a half.” she says to Mr Romes. It's so nice to meet you sir, I really do admire all the things that you have done in the social world. I say trying not to completely fan girl out. “It's a pleasure to meet you, your aunt was just telling me about you and how your art inspires her work.” He said in his deep voice.
Just as I was about to ask a question to my aunt, I felt another presence enter the room ever so slightly. I saw a girl. “Aaa. Keirana, this is Miss Jess’s niece Charity. Charity, this is my daughter Keirana.” he says. I look at her, she is wearing a suit with a black silk shirt and hook earrings, her suit fits her so well you can see all the features on her body making her look very masculine. "Nice to meet you Charity, she says while unbuttoning her blazer. I can't help but stare." Charity Charity are you OK" my aunt shouts.
Yes, yes, I'm fine I just had a moment, I really need to talk with you about something. I say in a confident tone while I look at my aunt.
We walked into the other room and before I could say anything she stopped me with a question. “You didn't just have a moment did you.” She whispers. I ignore the question completely and proceed to tell her what happened with my uncle, so if he is really my uncle.
“Oh, my goddess that weird your dad never had a brother, he is an only child.” She speaks. Well then, it's a good thing that I didn't say yes straight away. “Yes yes, it is, tell you what I will do a little more investigating for you and then you can decide if you want to try and help him or not. “She says while scratching her head vigorously. “I guess there is nothing more than I can do to respond with. Well then that's settled let's get back to our guests.” She speaks.
“Well Mr Romes I have your two rooms set up I hope you are okay with the arrangement of your rooms.” She says while walking into the room. “Yes of course I have one question. Why does my daughter have a room upstairs and not me.” he asks? “Well, I doubt that your daughter will want to come along with us when she can stay here. We are getting up pretty early and I don't want to disturb her.” she replies.
“I see well then that's fine by me, I’m guessing Charity is also up there.” he says. “Well, her room has always been up there.” she says while letting out a little chuckle. I look at Keirana And she is looking at me. “Well, are you going to show me to my room, or do I have to guess where it is?” she said sarcastically.
I gave her a little chuckle and proceeded to show her where the rooms are. Heading up the stairs she then said, “So what can we do for fun here considering that I won't necessarily be with my father the whole time.” well it depends on what you want to do or in this case what you have in mind, I reply opening the door to her room. Well, I would love to see all the things that you do, considering I can't go out much. well, I’ll have to see, I say without making eye contact.
“Hey, I don’t know if I intimidate you or something, but I really just want to be friends.” She speaks. Well then that makes the both of us say while looking up at her. As I look into her brown golden eyes. She gives me the most wonderful smile with the cutest wink ever. Well then, my rooms right next to yours if you need anything at all. Well then, I’ll try to need something then. She says while letting out a chuckle. I let out a yawn and said please don't. We both bid out good night and head to bed.
Keirana P.O.V
I climb off the plane ready to have people swarming at us but surprisingly no one came. You see how if we don't make a big deal of coming or doing anything people don't even acknowledge we are here, he says. He knows that I was anxious and ready to fight just like I have done in the past for him. Ever since my dad was attacked by that guy 2 years ago, I decided that I would stay by his side. So, I trained and worked hard so I could defend him.
The city was so beautiful I can't help but admire it. We reached the complex and it was amazing. We headed to the apartment and started setting in. When I heard Miss Jess screaming a girl's name. I make my way to the room they were in, and I see her. Although she wasn't necessarily dressed to impress, she still is so pretty.
I try to make an impression. Nice to meet you Charity I say. She didn't break contact until Miss Jess said something. She then takes Miss Jess into the other room. My dad then turns to me. “I see you are taking a liking to her, '' he said. My dad winked at me. I smile ever so slightly when they walk back in and tell us where our rooms are. We walk up to our rooms, and I mess around for a bit.
After fooling around we headed to bed, it was a long day. I get myself ready for bed but before I do I see through the window that Charity is standing on the balcony, and I go to join her. Hey, are you okay? I asked her. She looks at me and nods. we don't say much to each other, we both just end up going to bed.
Charity P.O.V
It doesn't take me long to fall asleep considering that all I do is sleep these days. Once I was in La La land, I had the same dream but this time I recognized the voice it was her, Keirana. She was talking to me, but why? Beep, Beep, Beep- admit that alarm is going to be the end of me. I thought I turned you off. But when I reached over to turn it off it wasn't even my alarm, it was Keirana. I look out the window to see Keirana moving around. shoot, she's getting dressed. I screech. She looks my way.
I hope she didn't see me. I feel my face go blood red. “Hey Charity, care to join me for a workout.” she says through the window. Uhm no thanks it is not really something I do, thanks for the offer though. I say running to the bathroom.
Stupid stupid stupid, why do you have to embarrassed yourself like that. Ahhhh. I turn on the water and just stand under it, you can't think like that Charity she is so out of your league, she probably won't even like me I'm just a nobody.
There's a knock at the door. I don't even take a moment to think that it's anyone but my aunt and walk out with a towel only. I open the door to see Keirana, oh I’m sorry I wasn't expecting you; I say to her holding my towel up. She just stands there and stares at me with a smirk. Keirana, I say with a sharp tone. “Uhm sorry I just came to see if you were okay. “You ran off so fast.” she said without taking her eyes off me. Aaaaah yes, I was just cold and wanted to get into a warm shower. I say hiding behind the door.
Keirana P.O.V
I wasn't really able to concentrate after Charity saw me, I wondered what she was thinking. Maybe I should go and check up on her. She did try to fall over when she ran off.
I walked over to her room after I showered to get the smell of sweat. I knock on the door. Coming I hear from the inside. It doesn't take long for her to answer her door. But when she does, I am faced with an unexpected surprise. “Oh, I’m sorry I wasn't expecting you,” she says. I scan her body, form all of the curves and the freshwater dripping down her. Wow, I think”. “Keirana” she shouts. Uhm sorry I just came to see if you were okay. You ran off so fast.” I speak. “Aaaaah yes I was just cold and wanted to get into a warm shower.” she responds. Uhm, I see, sorry I’ll let you get dressed. I say while trying not to blush.
Charity P.O.V
She walked away; she was thinking for a long time. I wonder what she was thinking. I mean it was quite a surprise that I showed up like that. But if she really found a fancy to me, she wouldn't have started like that. Maybe I should ask if she likes girls or not, like I was trying to get to know her. Then I can plan around it. Yaa that’s what I’m going to do.
I walk down to see Keirana eating cereal. “I hope you don't mind but I was hungry. I saw you had some weatpicks, so I helped myself.” She says while mixing in her cereal. No, not at all I responded. I decided to go straight into it. Slow and steady at least. Hey, listen I know that I’ve been a bit jumpy and not talking much so I was wondering if you would like to start afresh and get to know each other a bit better. “I mean I was hoping too” she says while letting out another one of her classical chuckles. I give her a little smile.
“So, what are we doing today?” she says. Well, I was thinking of taking you to see the city because I overheard you saying that it was amazing. She looks at me with a surprised look. "Wait, are you joking?" she says while getting out of her seat. Well then let's not waste time I say while grabbing my coat and getting my phone.
We headed downstairs and ran into Jackie who seemed to be struggling with lifting a box. Hey Jackie, I say in my usual tone. Oh, hello Charity, oh dear I know I said I wouldn't need help, but these old legs of mine are giving out. Do you…. But before she could finish Keirana had already grabbed the box and headed her way down. She gave me a glance and wiggled her eyebrows at me. I can't help but let out a laugh.
So, Jackie did you find anything that you forgot you had I say trying to make convernversation. “Not yet but maybe I will” she responds back. We met Keirana at the bottom and of course she had a sarcastic comment to make. “If there was a fire in the building, would you have taken this long”.
CHAPTER 4
The twist
Charity P.O.V
The last few days I showed Keirana around town and took her to all the nice cafes and shops. We have been getting to know each other very well, in fact it's weird how well we connected so fast. Maybe it's time I asked or is it too soon, maybe I should wait ahhhhhhh.
The phone rang and it was my aunt, “Charity luv its Auntie, I wanted to make sure that you two are okie home alone.”
Ok wait, ya I’ve fast forward through it all so let's take it back to two nights ago.
So, let's get this straight. You never knew your mom and I never knew my dad, wow. “Yaa well life is hard, and we got to push through it. And to be honest, getting to know you and connecting with you makes me want to help you so much, so I’ll stay by your side. Only if you're fine with it.” she says. I blush this time not hiding it. She was about to say something when her dad knocked at the door. “Keirana, Charity we have to talk to you about something.
So, me and Jess are going out for the weekend to film down by the coast. You guys are gonna stay here. We leave on Thursday." He says while sitting next to Keirana."" So, you guys must remember that it's gonna get very cold while you are here, and they are predicting a big storm too. So please stay in the house where it is warm. 'aunt Jess says. Thursday! I say while grabbing my aunt's arm. Yes, so whatever happens stay in the house. “Charity, please come with me. I need to talk to you” she says while she pulls my arm.
Aunt Jess P.O.V
We walk into the other room, and she looks at me very seriously. Listen to me, the man that you were talking to be your dad's uncle, he is your dad. I spoke to your mom, and she says I need to talk to you about this now. Your dad wasn't the best person. In school he would always get into trouble. That's how he met your mom.
She was going through a little bad boy faze. When they decided to move in together your grandparents paid for a lot of things. Little did she know he was stealing their money and using it for bad things. When they found out and tried to make her leave him, she wouldn't believe them. Causing the family to fight. Then she got pregnant with you. She felt the need to stay with him for your sake. But he wasn't so pleased that she was keeping you, so he tried to get rid of you both. This is when the police were called by the neighbour, and he was exposed for killing several women and his own family.
She hated herself for staying around him, even though she apologized, and your grandparents forgave her she wouldn't accept anything from them. That's why you are living the way you are. Your grandparents really want to meet you, but she won't let you near them because they will spend money on you.
That's the story of your dad. I believe that he is trying to finish the job he couldn't 18 years ago. To get rid of you and your mother. She's safe, don't worry but now it's my job to make sure you're safe. So please whatever you do don’t open that door.
Charity P.O.V
The blood drains from my body. So, the man that I was talking to is not only my dad, but he wants me dead. My aunt hugs me to make sure I'm okay. I promise you that I will stay safe. You must go do your job; you can't afford to lose this opportunity. I say while hugging her. She pulls me back and says, “I have told Mr Romes about what happened and he says that Keirana will look after you” but before I could say anything she says” I know she will do everything in her power to keep you safe, I have seen the way she makes sure you don't get hurt and I have seen the way that she looks at you. Not to mention the ways you look at her.” I stop in my tracks. Is she trying to say that Keirana likes me or is this one of those strong bonds that a friend has?
My aunt walks out the room and I'm left standing and thinking about what she has said to me. How she makes sure I don't get hurt, like when I couldn't pick up that box, she made sure I wouldn't have to, or when I was washing the knives and they fell. She made sure that I wasn't hurt. How didn't I see this, she really cares for me even though I'm nobody.
Keirana P.O.V
After Charity and Miss Jess left the room, my dad had something important to tell me. Not thinking it was going to be so important to me.
Mr Rome's P.O.V
I need you to listen carefully to me. I know that you want to protect me, and I know that you don't like the idea of staying here, but you need to understand that Charity is in grave danger. I don't know what she has told you, but I can't tell her story. So here is the short summary. She has never met her dad and he is a very bad person so much that he wants her mom and her dead. So, I need you here to look after her. Do you understand me?
Keirana P.O.V
My head is rushing. Someone wants a person so wonderful and sweet to die. What kind of person would want that not to mention the person that made her? Yes dad of course. I'll keep her safe. Charity walks back in just as my dad left to go pack his stuff. I look up from my phone and she looks like she's gonna cry. Oh my gosh, what happened, are you ok? “No no, not at all.” She says while sitting down. She then proceeds to tell me the whole thing. Wow, that just sad man like who would want to hurt you. She looks at me with a blank stare but blushing at the same time, her eyes still filled with water. I don't know how to feel about this.
Charity P.O.V
I have no words. She really thinks that I'm special. Wow. ummm well it's getting late we should head to bed so we can be up when they leave. I say while wiping a tear from my cheek. I guess you're right, she says while getting up to leave my room. GOODNIGHT, I shout while she walks out the door. “GOODNIGHT '' she shouts back.
The next morning, I got up and headed downstairs to see everyone up. Ummm what's going on. I say while looking at Keirana. “Oh, nothing we are just about to leave”, Mr Romes and Aunt Jess say. “Keirana was just helping us finish packing, '' auntie says. Well then, I got up just in time to say goodbye. I say while giving her a hug and helping them out the door. Remember what I said about the house and stuff.
After they had left, I headed to the shower. I love the shower as you can tell. Anyways Keirana finishes the dishes from last night. After we finished our own things, we managed to meet up in the TV area. SOOO, what are we watching huh? I say sitting down next to her. I don't know what you want to watch. Well, this new movie came out called Halloween killers. “Well then we watch it” she says while looking for it in the library.
We are halfway through the movie and the biggest jump scare of my life happens. OMG! I shout while jumping. Keirana grabs me to reassure me. “Damn that was a good one” she says while letting out a little chuckle. My head buried in her arms, I look up and let out a laugh.
Just as I look back at the screen everything goes black. What happened was that the power. I look out the window and it is raining really bad. The biggest thunderstorm is going on. Keirana walks into the room and hands me a piece of paper. What is this I say? She looks at me and shrubs her shoulders. “I found it by the door” she says and throws herself at the couch. I opened the paper for it to say. “We had a promise Charity, now u betta watch yourself because I hate it when people don't listen to me.”
I look at Keirana in shock. What happens now when I have no power and the house is going to get cold very fast now. I say while panicking. “Hey hey hey I won't let anything happen to you I promise.” she says while getting closer to me. With our hesitation I immediately grab her and hug her. “I promise you!” We sit in each other's company still embracing one another. Maybe we should head to my room where all my blankets are. She simply nods her head while releasing me from her arms.
Keirana P.O.V
When head upstairs to her room and sits down on her bed with a bunch of blankets. Maybe this is the perfect time to ask her. I mean we did share a pretty good hug. Ummm so I don't know if this is a good time to ask about you, but I was wondering if you had a type. She gave me a black stare and yet again started blushing. I’m sorry that was a dumb thing to ask you don’t have to answer that.
Just as she was about to say something there was a loud crash like a window was broken then a man's voice. “Charity, I know you're here. I just want to talk, I'm sure your aunt has told you about me. I'm very sorry.” the panic starts to settle in. Shhhhh. I drag her to my room where I pull out my gun. I tell her to hide. I head downstairs and look for the intruder. “Charity dearest please I just want to talk to you “
I spot him and prepare myself to shoot when all of the sudden I hear her scream. I leave my position and run up the stairs to find a woman holding her. This was no woman, it was Jackie, the friendly neighbour. “One step closer and I'll shoot.” Fine, I say taking a step back. Turns out that she was spying on Charity for a long time. To gather info on here for when her dad got out of prison.
Charity P.O.V
Please, Keirana! I speak. But before she could do anything she was attacked from behind. Without any hesitation I get free from her grasp and grab her gun, shooting her in the stomach. My dad had run downstairs. I head for Keirana. “Omg you’re bleeding she looks at me in absolute shock. “You just saved yourself and didn't realize it”, she says. I respond with a simple guess. Where did he go? she says while wheezing. I Don't know what to say while getting up to look for him. But then I had a feeling. He's right here isn't he. Just ask me to take a step out and he shoots again. Hitting the gun out of his hand, I pinned him. “You think it's that easy chaity, I will win” he says while lunging forward into me.
But before he stepped back, there was a bang. He hits the floor and I look up to see Keirana holding a gun. She falls to her knees and starts crawling to me from the other end of the hall. I look down to see a knife in my side. I sit there crying.

Doctors start to run in, they try to calm me down, but I know for a fact that they are lying, and she is not fine. Just as I'm about to break free my father walks in and grabs me by the shoulders. “Keirana, calm down she is fine. You were in surgery. She is in the other room.” he says My heart only then starts to settle; he would never lie.
How long have I been out for? “I ask. “3 days” he responds. Damn! The main doctor walks in and looks at me. “Well then you have really made a breakthrough your body has healed really fast, so the two girls are free to go home, just please take it easy.”
