While Bella was going to find Pete she got a little worried because the way he sounded earlier made her worry. She was wondering if there's something going on that they are not telling her about. She hurried to the school as her mind became unsettled.

“Why did I have to meet her?” Bella asked herself and after a long walk she finally arrived at the school. She looked around and realized he was not outside. “Why is he not waiting here? Did he go inside?” Bella asked herself and looked around again before she finally decided to go inside the school and check if Pete decided to go to class.

“Good day sir.” Bella greeted a teacher she sighted in the hallway.

“Good day ma'am.” He greeted me with a smile on his face. “How can I help you?” He asked almost immediately. Bella brushed her hair behind her ear nervously.

    Isabella pov I felt very guilty for everything that has been happening to the kids because all the while I was thinking they were understanding they were also going through the worst phase of their lives and they couldn't tell me because they didn't want to add to my troubles. “They should have told me.” I muttered to myself. “What would you have done?” The question hit me more than I imagined, I didn't know what to reply to him when I heard what he said. “Hey, look at me, these bullies could only do that because they didn't see anyone around the kids, no amount of words would make them stop, only action would stop them from bullying the kids.” I was confused as to what kind of action was Tristan talking about. “Action?” I asked again trying to confirm if I heard correctly. “Yes.” “Mom, he's up already.” Patience came to tell me, I was about to ask Tristan more questions but I had to go see my son. He looked really pale. “Why didn't you tell me about the bullies?” “

    Isabella's povI collected the picture frame from them the moment I saw them holding it.“That's the man I saw at the hospital a few days ago.” Patience said the moment I collected the picture frame from her, I didn't know what to tell them so I had to think very fast.“You must be mistaking Patience, this is the picture of an old friend that helped me a lot back in school.” I lied. Pete seemed a little too Interested in knowing who the person was and it was really disturbing to me that he was too inquisitive about the person in the picture frame.“Mom, I saw his face clearly, Pete looks so much like him you would think he's our dad.” I opened my eyes wider than normal as both of them were laughing cracking a joke that was true. It was so comfortable for me knowing that they were telling the truth through a joke.“Stop talking nonsense and return to your room.” I said to them and dropped the frame back in the wardrobe.“Why hasn't he visited since? I saw him at the hospital but he did

I mean what happened to him? Has he always been like this?” I asked curiously because I was still trying to recover from the shock I experienced in the room a few minutes ago.“It's a long story, please I would love you to watch over him for me, his medication is almost finished and I would have to get a refill.I nodded my head when I heard what she said as I was trying to swallow everything she had just told me.The maid headed out of the house and I headed upstairs.First of all, I went straight into my room so that I could breathe well then accept what I had just seen.I covered my mouth with my ha
