Chapter 1

Mitchell is a young adult who lives with her mother, grandmother, sister, and nephew. Mitchell and her sister, Rose works so hard to make sure the needs of the family are met since their father left them years ago when they were still very young.

Their mother has refused to tell them the reason why their father has left them, hence they took it upon themselves to Meet the needs of the family. The responsibility is shared between both girls, although Rose takes the greater part of the responsibility even though she has a son to cater for.

She works extra hours at the restaurant to make sure that she can send her son to school and also send her sister, Mitchell to college.

The bills of the family pile up and as a result they have to decide what they needed the money to do. The decision making begins when Dan returns from school and demands his school fees from his mother, Rose. He stumbles on them while they were trying to raise the money for the electrical bill.

" What do we do now Rose? Mitchell asked her sister who is already out of reality. She doesn't want her son to experience the kind of life she is living and as a result she feels bad whenever he demands something that was not in her power to do.

What do you think we should do? She asked in response.

Rose, I think we should pay Daniel's fee, that's what is important now. The electricity can go off for now. When we have a lot of money or when we have been able to settle some of our pressing needs, then we can go ahead and fix it again.

I don't think that is okay. Rose responded at once.

But why? What do you think we should do then?

Mitch, we need the electricity because of   mum's shop, our stuffs in the refrigerator and our clothing. How about Dan? How will he cope since he returns from school late? Let's sit down and plan towards it again.

Mitchell sat down as she watched her sister start the calculations again on another page of the book they have been using to calculate their expenses. After some minutes of silence in calculation, Mitchell decided to give her sister a suggestion.

Rose, I think I have an idea. She told her amid a yawn.

What's it?

The calculations you have been working on are enough, I don't think there's a way we can adjust the budget to our favor, the electricity should be cut off while we pay for Dan's school fees.

Then? She asked her immediately.

I think we should get a lamp, the lamp will be able to help him out at night with his assignments.

Rose became emotional again, she looked at her sister with a sad face, held her hands tightly "I'm sorry Mitch, I never wanted you to get into this situation we find ourselves. I had wanted to get enough for us since our father left us but time is my limit.

"It's nothing dear sister, you have been trying all you can to help us and I will also assist you to ensure that we can do all we can to help our mother and grandmother.

Thanks, Mitch, come here, Rose called her "I love hugging you whenever you show how intelligent you are in understanding the situation of our family.

Who among us will go to Dan's school tomorrow to pay up his fees? Mitchell asked her sister knowing  well that she will be the one to do it.

" I don't know why you will always want to ask me what you know you will do. Rose commented. Well Mitch, get ready because you'll be doing that tomorrow.

Yes, Ma. Mitchell responded with a salute. 

Mitchell watched her sister go to bed. She immediately went outside and sat on the wooden chair. Her mother usually tells her that, that was the chair her father usually seats when he was with them

" Funny me, Mitchell said with a smile. I never got to know him that much, but I'm always told I look like him and I always sit in his favorite chair. This blue seat of his.

"Father wherever you are, I wish you can hear the voice of your daughter, Mitchell, I never got to know you while I was growing up but I was told that you left us for reasons I can not tell because your wife, has refused to tell me.

I think Rose knows why you left but they're keeping it from me and your grandson, Dan. Come home soon, I'm not a stubborn girl and I promise you that I will take care of you no matter what happens when you return home to us.

And most importantly hug you in my arms like this all day long ( she hugged her mother so tight without knowing)

I can see how you long to see your father, Mrs. Williams told her daughter.

Mother! you? When did you arrive home, I didn't notice your presence. Where is your bag? Mitch asked her mother.

Rose had given her a warning not to do anything that will make her mother to  have the thought of her husband, their Father.

I have taken it inside the house already. She replied.

Then, you must go and rest now. Go inside mum, you need to rest.

She watched her Mother walk inside the house and then she continued talking to the stars.

She turned to see if her mother was behind her but she wasn't. She pointed her finger to the sky.

" I hope you tell Mr. Williams what I said. Good night, I'll see you tomorrow. She smiled while she placed her hands on her chest showing that she wished she was hugging something or someone.

It was already late, she got inside to join the others on the bed but discovered that her space has been occupied. She smiled and walked to the chair that was adjacent to the bed.

" I'm always comfortable, it doesn't matter where I lay my head to rest". She said as she tried to stretch the body on the chair.

As she walked down the street, she had a conversation with her." Telling Rose about this idea is a very difficult one for me, and we cannot continue exchanging our properties for the debt we owe, Mitch! You have to do something, open up, you cannot continue doing this all by yourself. If the payment of a day is doubled, then the debt will be easier to pay than when it is just you that's doing everything. Rose will buy the idea, come on, speak up!But how do you want me to start the conversation? It's so difficult to say, she complained. How can I tell Rose? I know she will understand but it's so difficult to say.You're not doing anything bad, are you selling your body? No!

That's our secret right? Mitchell asked her sister immediately to get a response from her.Yeah, but I'm still confused about how you did it and you're still strong and healthy like you never did anything?Rose, whenever I am done with it, the doctor usually gives me and the others that are also involved a kind of drug and enough milk.Hmmm, that's nice. I will be going with you tomorrow to start immediately.There's no problem sister, I will be glad to go with you. I won't be scared again whenever it is being done anymore.Most times, when I feel the syringe in me, I think I won't come out alive but I always do. Perhaps I have a guardian angel that doesn't want me dead. She voiced out amid laughter.I think so too. Nobody will believe that you're into it if you don't tell them about it. You look young as ever. Rose commented.It's because of the treatment we receive from the doctor regularly.I just hope we don't die in the process, Rose said as she folded her hands across her chest.

Mitchell prayed silently that it will not rain more than it was, the house is almost getting flooded. " Mitch, we have to take action before everything goes out of our control. What do you want us to do? Go get the roofing sheets, I have to fix it now, if not we will stay here in this flood until dawn. The water is much here. Yeah Rose, just hold on while I go get them. Mitchell rushed out to help Rose with the iron sheets so that she can mend the leaking roof. She hurriedly ran out before the rain will start pouring out more than the way it is now. "I need a ladder also, she told Mitchell. It's one at a time Rose, when I get this, I'll go get the others, she told her.

She stood aloneninbhe front of a bank as she watched customers troop in and out. She thought of going home but she discarded the thought, "that's not an option," she said aloud. "They're expecting my call of safe arrival, not to return". She bowed her head, trying to figure out a plan B without money. Mitchell noticed that the security in the bank had taken notice of her presence --- standing outside the bank doing nothing. She quickly turned not sure of what to do nextMitchell walked down the busy streets of the unfamiliar city, her steps faltering with each passing block.

Not until then did Mitchell know that she has gone to get some foodstuffs but couldn't get them home for reasons she doesn't know. The elderly lady had moved some of the wraps to the car before Mitchell stood up to help her. "You don't have to bother yourself about my dear child". She said. "It doesn't matter ma'am, I can't watch you carry these load and do nothing, I wasn't raised that way".

Maria bade her goodnight as she left Mitchell to rest for the night. As Mitchell settled into her room for the night, she thought about the Robert's family and the void left by the absence of their beloved wife and mother.

Few hours after noon, Mitchell decided to go for a walk round the compound when she heard the sound of the gate open. "Who could that be?" She thought as she rushed to the window to check who it was.

She knew that first impressions were important, especially when it came to building a strong bond with the children she was entrusted to care for.As she weighed her options, she walked to the living room, her gaze fixed on the front door, her heart filled with a mix of excitement and anticipation.
