He knew that life would never be the same again. Never ever again.

He slapped himself across the face. " You've done it again! You've done it again David Storm! You've made yourself a loner! You had everything! You had everything! A loving husband! His family... His mom, his cousin and a friend! And now you have nothing. Why do you have to be so stupid? Huh?" With these questions he fell on the couch again. His thoughts going to dark thoughts in his mind. " But would I have had the chance to get a husband? If she was still here? Maybe destiny did it. " He chuckled a little feeling crazy because he had lost everything in this very moment.

In fact it was all quite jaw shattering to all."God heavens what have I done to deserve you as a son?! What is all this?!" These were the wails of Xolo's mother as she herded him along the path. Everyone who was either close to them or was just curiously watching them. Everyone knew whose house they were headed to just by the direction they headed to. They were going to the priest's house.All the gossiping parties of the village were already on toe with them ready to know what drama it was this early morning.MamXala held her son by his ear as she dragged him along.

Even at school he wouldn't be surprised if he came all the time late there. It was his long time habit. Even as a baby he came out two weeks late so it was normal for them to start eating dinner without him but it was a cause for worry if they actually finished eating without Xolo already munching his mouth full of food.Zwelinye looked at his wife who was looking down at her plate that strangely she hadn't touched. "Uphi uXolo?" He asked again this time having effect. MamXala braved up her face. "He will be no longer living with us. Xolo is no longer part of us""What nonsense are you talking about? Did you and your son have a fight again?"MamXala stood up. She started taking the plates. "Xolo is at the pastor's house. If you want to know about why I threw him out you'll have to ask him. He'll have to answer you himself. I won't. "Zwelinye watched Mam

Xolo always saw Lindani as this very calm and collected person at all situations. It was surprising and mostly shocking to see him like that. He was both angry and possessive. Of who? Me? But how?Things were so complicated. They all threatened to throw Xolo to the highest point of stress. He scratched at his chin. A habit he had taken from his father. He only did it when he was either nervous or thinking. And right now he was doing both those things."Mr Jacobs don't you need to leave class now?" Mr Williams chested. It was normal for Xolo not to even attend the first period. He was always going to Lindani's. At first it drove the teachers crazy. But then they started to accept the reality of it. There was no changing Xolo. No amount of shouting or punishments from his teachers or his parents

When he disappeared to the other side of the room. She started to give a threatening stare to her husband. "Tata why do I feel like you are not listening to me in this house? Why do you find it hard to fight for your wife? I just told you about that crazy woman called MamXala harassing me in the church that you claim to be ours. She does not respect me. Akandiboni in fact! You need to teach her a lesson. Start by throwing out that bastard son of hers!"Maseko placed down his spoon. "I lost my appetite." He got up from his place at the table. He gave his wife a dirty stare of his own. "You know you should be ashamed of yourself. You call yourself a woman who prays to God. Then I believe you should be very kind towards others. Not causing fights wherever you go."He left the room leaving Mamfundisi speechless. The minu

His vision immediately assaulted by the brightness of a light bulb right on top of his head. He closed his eyes again covering them with his arm. Just from that he knew this wasn't his room.So where was he? He turned to his side on the bed too soft to be his own bed. He opened his eyes again. Only to see someone's back.He blinked trying to figure out what he was doing in a room that wasn't his with a naked girl beside him. His memory led him to the kiss he and Xolo had witnessed last night. And then to the fight he had with Xolo.He remembered not being able to do anything but hit his head on the back of the house. "Stupid! Stupid!" He yelled at himself. Why did he do that? Why did he disagree with Xolo?He felt like going to find Xolo wherever he was. Just apologize to him. So that everything could go back to normal.But that was just the thing. There was no normal.

His eyes looked at Clive. His face had a smile on it. He ran to where Clive was standing. He hugged Clive. " I missed you!" He kissed Clive's chin since he missed Clive's lips. Because Clive had moved them from David's reach. David still had a big smile on his face. Seemingly didn't notice that Clive was not interested in anything at the moment. " You just left.
