“Can you believe that Mike slapped Alyssa yesterday, you know sometime I wonder what is always on the mind of some men when they slap women, I mean women are the most vulnerable human beings that should be respected ad not beaten up, and an the same time I am wondering why she was so defensive about him when I tried to say that she should report him, she got so mad at me and I had to withdraw my statement and it got me thinking, what is it that really happens behind these closed doors? Must be a lot that people are trying to hide just so they can escape the reality, it is a sad reality that we live in” Dylan said to his aunt the following day as he helped her arrange the living room, they were holding the party in the backyard of their house and a lot of people had already arrived and the kids were playing outside, Melissa had invited some of her friends from school and it was a surprise that she had made quite a lot of friend within the

CHAPTER THIRTY “So what do you think about my little sister?” Dylan asked Maeve as they were seated on the swings just outside where the party was going on, they had just cut the cake and the children were swimming while the others were just playing around, Aunty Sue was busy with her old friends in the living room and the two were seated on the swings outside enjoying the afternoon breeze, to Maeve it was the best moment of her life, she liked Dylan the moment she set her eyes on him and the more they spent more time together, the more she liked him and no doubt she was falling for him“What? Melissa or Alicia?” she asked oblivious“Alicia of course, she doesn’t even know what happened to mom, I don’t know how she will react when she finally has to get used to the fact that she will longer be part of our lives, she is way too young to understand anything and the fact that the man she lived to know as her dad is not her

CHAPTER THIRTY TWOThis looks all calm and amazing and not to mention, very beautiful, just like you” Dylan said immediately the two stepped out of the car, and Maeve smiled, she had driven him to her favorite place, the place she always came to when she felt low and needed to calm down or clear up her mind“Yeah, I know although you are the first person I have brought here” she said and Dylan felt special, he knew Maeve liked him and he felt the same about her but the manner in which she was handling him was a clear indication that whatever both felt for each other was strong and to Dylan, he always felt loved and cared for when she was around, she took him to her favorite place, a place she had taken no one else before and that to him only meant that he was special to her“Oh really and how did you find this place, it look calm and very beautiful I mean it is just so amazing” he said as he walked towards the stream &nb

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE“Hey dad, what’s up?” she said on the phone, she was not expecting him to call because he said he was going to come the following week and usually he would call when he was at the airport“Hey sweetheart, I am at home and you are nowhere to be seen, I thought I’d find you here but you are not so where are you?” he asked and Maeve could not believe her eyes, she was excited and surprised at the same time because she was not expecting her father to come home so soon “You what? dad? Tell me you are joking dad, that cannot be true are you for real?” she asked excited and her dad laughed on the other end“Yes of course, I am at the house right now, so where are you?” he asked“I am with Dylan, at my favorite place, you remember the place mom used to take me while she was still alive” she asked“Of course I do remember

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR“What do you think your dad will say about me, you know I have really never gotten the chance to meet a girl’s parents and not just any girl but the girl I actually like” Dylan said as they drove along the busy road towards Maeve’s place“And what does that supposed to mean? Does it mean that you like me or is what I am hearing wrong?” she asked and Dylan could not help but smile, her sense of humor was always on another level, she would always find a joke in whatever he said“Really of all I have said the only thing you heard is about me liking you? You can’t be serious right now” he said and she chuckled“Of course I am, you have never really told me that you know and every time dad asks me if we are a thing I would always say no and say we are trying to take things slow and you and I both know that there is n taking things slow when you are around, I like you and God I

CHAPTER THIRTY SIXDylan’s dad left him his own diary, it was wrapped up like a gift and it was still sealed which only meant that it was never opened, it was just as his father left it to him, the moment Dylan was given the wrapped up gift from his father, he heart was beating furiously against his chest, he was anxious to know what really happened and wanted to know what was inside the wrapped up gift so immediately h went to bed, it was the first thing he did, he started opening it up and then there was a knock on the door and Maeve walked in with a smile on her face“Sorry I interrupted but I just wanted to check on you and see if you are okay, you look torpid today what is wrong, and wait what is that?” she asked immediately she saw the half unwrapped gift that was lying on the bed“It is nothing, I just wanted to check what is in, your father gave it to me, he said that my dad left it to him a week before he disappeared and th

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN“So basically your dad left this for you? Like he left his dairy behind, you know in as much as I want not to believe or trust my instincts but I think that maybe he faked his own death and he is just maybe waiting for the right time to come out of is hiding or something I don’t know but the way things are turning, I don’t know what is going on but everything seems pretty messed up a little bit and you can know what is right and what is not, basically things are changing and we don’t know if it is true or not but we just sit, watch and make conclusions, and by the way what do you think, you have been quiet the whole day since you came back from Maeve’s place or you got into loggerhead with her? Or maybe you are just anxious about the exams, it is going to be fine, you are a bright student that I believe in, nothing is going to stop you from getting what you want, you will pass, just stop hurling up yourself in that couch

I did not know that she was there at his place and worst thing is that Dylan called her babe in front of him?” Alyssa complained to Caitlyn who was busy munching on her apple“I don’t understand why you keep complaining about what Maeve is doing, she is happy with him and you should be happy with Mike, don’t know why you jealous all of a sudden, you remember the you also shouted at him and made him look like a fool, he then met Maeve who was not shouting at him and the two are actually compatible, I can see how they look at each other, you know what friend?
