CHAPTER 17MIRIAM'S POVThe early hours of the morning feels so cold as wind blows through my hair making sound through my ears, the stars in the sky are all gone as it seems it's about to rains, I walked holding a torch in my hands searching for Jasmine, I couldn't imagine her been gone without telling either I or Cindy her best friend when she left. I walked towards the gate, I felt so scared, as the time from my wristwatch beep 2:00am, I shiver as I felt cold feet, my face flush with fear as I turn on both sides observation the environment.Although I now live here alone, but I wouldn't stop been security conscious about my new surroundings, other homes seems so quiet as the occupants seems fast asleep, I fold my arms as my armless shirt made me feel so cold, I walked back as she wasn't closed to the gate, I turn back toward the mansion, I'll just have to inform the others about Jasmine disappearance."Miriam" I heard her voice, she called out to me I turned seeing her looking con
CHAPTER 21Miriam's PovThe outcry seems so loud, this time we run towards the sound, there it was I couldn't image I'll did run because of a Kittycat, it stare directly into my eyes as I stare at it, the pure white cat seems so adorable and I guess it needs help as it appears so cold in the night. Jasmine and Steph walked out on me seeing how I carried it on my arms, I know it'll be unfair leaving it out there in the cold, I walked towards the backyard placing the cat in a box, tomorrow I'll have to give it back to Mrs Winston as it'll be ours she has a lot of cat in her cottage."Miriam, I'm sure you wouldn't want us get pissed off, come get in the car" Steph called out to meI could hear her scream my name, I don't even know why she hate cat I muttered, I hurried back and a shiny navy blue car graced my sight I guess I'm the last to know this as others didn't look surprise at it."Who owns this new baby?" I asked no one in particular"Guess who?" Steph retorted"I guess it's you"
CHAPTER 19Miriam's PovThe drive to Mercury Hospital was so rough as Josh drive as fast as he could, my heart pound in my chest, I never for once did thought I'll be summoned to come check on someone in the hospital, I felt cold feet as Josh stared at me to stay calm, we stayed silence without a word to each other as all I could think of was pray the worst thing wouldn't happen, if my contact was quickly noted in that person's phone then it must be someone dear to me. I couldn't stop thinking it through as I was restless through out the drive to the hospital, Josh parked in the parking lot in the hospital I alight as I couldn't wait for him opening the car door for me this time as I took to my heels running as fast as I could, I walked towards the receptionist, she give me a smile as I wasn't in the mood for such"Hi Nurse, I'm here to see Doctor Philip Thomas" I told her"Madam, do you have an appointment with him and as you well know it's past appointment and visitation hours" Nur
CHAPTER 20Miriam's Pov The image in front of me seems as though she has seen a wild beast, my jaw dropped opened, staring at people wasn't my kind of thing, I just did stare at her anyways, how can she look exactly just like her, If I didn't really know who I came to see then they'll be mistake in identity, she keep staring at me or probably she saw a ghost in the fark i couldn't see, I wondered as I stare behind right me hoping I wasn't followed. I decide to break the silence as she wasn't making an attempt to move her lips."Do I know you?" I asked the stranger "No, I don't think I know you either?" She replied me.She glance up and down at me like she felt a bad feeling about me, perhaps the way I dressed doesn't seems to fit her kind of person, that's a lot going through her mind, am I in a wrong house, have they moved without me been told, or have I lost my way, as it been long I last visited, I thought "And you are?" She querried me"Miriam Jones, and I live here" I told her

I queried himHe might haven't heard me the first time maybe, I closed my eyes waiting to hear him replying to me"I called to say Hi" Tristan replied with a timid voice" Perhaps you came home to take all mum works for and go back to the hell you are with no trace of your stupid self" I screamed as I replied back to him"Is that what she told you about me?"
