     ⚜  Familiar guy.

     He removed his hood and to my surprise, he looked like the gringo but with a different hair and skin complexion. I thought the meds must have been affecting my vision. Maybe it was just a familiar face or I was hallucinating.

He took steps standing so close to where the bed was.

  "Y.. o.u?"

He spoke in a deep but yet sexy voice. "It seems I  startled you? Or safe to say, I make you speechless?"

There was something about his voice that made me feel calm even though I felt scared.

"Yes, I know,"

He arched his brow and grinned revealing his perfectly arranged set of white teeth.

He was fine!

    ⚜ Safe and sound. ⚜ Hi, it's Ally. Please, leave a message at the end of the tone." "Shit! Where are you when I need you?!" I chided over the phone. I huffed as I tried to reach Almira once again but it went straight to voicemail. Unfortunately, that was the only number I knew off head. It was a matter of time before Derek noticed his phone was missing. I tried one last time and all I got was the same thing. I decided to leave a message."Ally? It's... me, Chloe. I need..." Derek shouted even before I completed my sentence. "What the hell are you doing?!" He scoffed while I stood there like a cat got my tongue. Derek swiftly grabbed the phone from my hand then switched it off. He banged his fist on the wall. "I. I was just-"

    It wasn't long until Cata arrived to chat like we did every other night, and I lied that I wasn't feeling well. "Sorry, sweety. You rest and will chat when you wake up." "Okay." Charity and Max noticed I was gloomy and occasionally tried to cheer me up only to get the same response. "Guys, I don't feel well," Max didn't buy it so he insisted that I tell him what was wrong but I closed my eyes and pretended to be sleeping. The following morning, Derek had not turned up and I knew if he doesn't show up, we will have to move to the safe house. What if he arrives when we are already at the safe house? He knows the safe house but what if he's too weak to go there? Who will help him? I had random questions left unanswered. I know sometimes I said I hated him but deep down, I didn't. I was guilty.

    ⚜ This little feeling. ⚜ I must have slept throughout the journey since Charytin woke me up. "What time is it?" I asked and after checking her wristwatch she replied, "2:00 pm," As soon as I alighted the van, I stretched myself then looked at the surroundings. The place was okay and it looked deserted to me. Tall trees surrounded the house, which looked old. Max approached. "Ladies, feel free to go in. The boys and I will help get some stuff in the house." He turned to me, "You good?" I nodded before he walked away. One of the girls, Paula complained. "This house looks freakish old. Are you sure no wild animals are living inside?"

And I can't believe I just blushed.

"Well get ready to have the taste of your life because cooking is my speciality" Paula bragged. I rolled my eyes as I turned to leave when Charytin pat my shoulder. "You good?"

    I did not attend breakfast the next morning nor go for lunch either. My eyes were swollen from crying the previous night and my hair looked like a birds nest. We all depended on Charytin's hair products but since we were many females it wasn't enough. I dragged my lazy self to the washroom and after doing my business went back to bed. My hair was still wet if it were not for the towel on my head, the whole bed will be soaked wet. The house was quieter than usual and I wondered what everyone was doing.In the evening my grumbling stomach betrayed me and I sashayed to find food.
