THIS MIGHT BE A MILDLY EMOTIONAL CHAPTER.

Its hard to find love,
In a world that offers so little,
But one that freely comes,
Is that in which a true mother gives to you.

"Mother" I yelled as i ran down the corridor before the guards gripped my wrinkled clothes.
There was crack in my voice as i succumbed to the tears that proceeded to fall down my cheeks.
"Mama" I struggled so weakly to withdraw before i fell to the ground. "She's gone-" I whispered.
"She's gone" Gloria added as she broke into tears.
But that isn't where we'll start off-
It was one hell of a crazy day.

Wu called with doubt, rubbing her hands on the table nervously as she eyed me.

JACQUELINE"What are you doing here?" Wu asked as she stood."You and I both know if you didn't want to see me, you wouldn't have come out" I said, walking over to the table she sat across.My eyes trailed the ticking clock, hoping i had time before the visiting hours are over."I want you to meet someone" I said before Mason walked in from the corridor, his hands in his back pocket as he stopped at our table."This is Mason Sullivan, Ruby's father" I introduced before she let out a shrill laugh that just burst out.But looking back to my straight expression, she raised her palms to her lips, a soft gasp escaping it."That means Albert-" She paused to assessed Mason as he sat, his expression nothing but calm."Did she know about this?" Wu asked as i shrugged my shoulders in reply, loosening my jac

I placed my hand across her lower back before walking towards the table."Maria" Marc's eyes gleamed in surprise as i sat across."Marc" I called and a smirk formed on his lips."Your boys, i think they're going to be fine.

WUTHE NIGHT OF THE MURDERLike every bad decision i ever made, it all started in a bar-The colors of street lights smeared from behind the blurring glass by the sides of the less eccentric bar closer to my house.I turned around, stealing glances each time i heard the ding sound of the opening door-It was as if i was reliving that night all over again, but this time, clearer.Soon, after looking at the fast paced clock and then at the text that displayed on my phoneWu: Can we talk? At the bar down the block--i decided to leave, finally letting it sink that all of this was a not a good idea.But then, she walked in with her hands in her black leather jacket and her eyes behind a darker shade of her usual glasses,-probably because she

Jacqueline had her legs up in the air as Harry squeezed her palms tightly. She couldn't believe she was here, doing this again."Push" The nurse yelled into her ears as she felt hands running down her thighs. "You're contracting, baby's coming out soon" You could hear the sound of her hands against the gloves.Jacqueline's head was tilted and her eyes faced the ceiling, refusing to look at Harry who was barely holding himself together in his blue scrubs and the napkin he had against her sweaty forehead.She was weak, feeble as if it were her first time. She couldn't believe she'd have another this soon, and all she could hear was the sound of their voices the night they talked about it.NINE MONTHS AGOThere was still a box lying on the kitchen counter. Jacqueline was in Harry's hands as they watched the tom and jerry movie. It was whilst giggling tha

You could hear his brief chuckles and my loud giggles as i almost tripped.He halted to catch me in his hands. His arms wrapped around me as the winds breezed into my face, swaying my hair to the sides. I wore a smile on my face as it all moved slowly——i was here, not mentally but in this exact moment. Physically, in a short white dress and a veil that had fallen along the aisle. And i wanted to stay here. I wanted to always be here.He gripped me a little hard that it began to tickle and i pushed him away to the ground before making a run for it. I ran towards where the sun was setting and where i could still see Maria and the other people and the wedding canopy that we had set.Just a few of us, family. That had always been here for the big and small moment

WUI had always wanted to bring her flowers, but not like this, not at her grave. It was shimmering with snow that dropped to the ground.And my boots were buried in it whilst i stared at the red flower i had dropped it. I looked to the chair that was beside, snow on the seats before i sat in. My gloved hands wrapped my elbows as i moved my head warmer. Each breath i took gave accompanied with a chill. It was freezing out here.But i didn’t care. I just wanted to see her.“Anyways Fox is going to spend time. Life probably, i just don’t want to know or get myself involved in anything like that” I said, as if we had been talking for a long time. Silence dawned as i looked to the gatekeeper. He was already used to me coming here since the past few months and talking to a corpse. I wasn’t crazy, he knew it.He would often say how i wasn’t the only person that came here to do it. The truth is,

JACQUELINETWO MONTHS LATER"The loss of a someone close to us is perhaps one of the deepest and most sensitive we will ever come to experience. It can be difficult to process these emotions and work through the stages of grief" I had started out, calm as if i’d gotten my emotions in check. You could hardly believe that i was the same one that broke out in tears a while ago.I cleared my throat, staring Wu in the eyes, who had nodded to give me a sort of encouragement. I then breathed heavily before i carried on."To say Aaliyah was selfless would be an understatement— She was more and to a lot of us, even more. She tried her best to brighten our lives even when she was living in the dark" I paused.I had read all the articles to prevent me from crying when i passed the eulogy. I had read about remembering to breathe, eating befo

WUEverywhere was silent, the door had finally stopped swinging as the nurse went back out. The same nurse that had wheeled me in. I sat in my chair in front of the bed in which she was laid open.The nurse had raised the sheets over her head but i was sure that she was listening. I had hoped that she was listening.Jade.Tears overwhelmed my eyes before they fell down my cheeks. The tears that were more than enough to ache the throat and make the voice disappear. I searched for the words to say as i finally saw her unconscious body, laying across the bed. I didn’t know it was going to be this hard to do this.“J—” I couldn’t get passed the first letter of her name as my voice quivered. I was shaking, as i buried my face into the tissue in my hands. I snorted in it before heaving in a deep breath.“Hey Jade” I broke into uncontrollabl

I could hear my slow groans as i was intubated.But alas, my eyes were open and i could see Leila walking slowly towards me with Wu beside her and the only question asides who wouldn't have thought——Was the inevitable one of whether or not i was willing to let go. But the choice was not up to me.If not, maybe i would have chosen to stay and then my eyes fell her. With whom i shared so much of a striking resemblance with. Who would've thought?My own sister, Ayeesha.-There was a light that flashed behind my eyes. The light, before my eyes shut wide open. Dele was beside me and Diane, and Wu.“I’m so glad you’re awake” Dele said, clenching my p

JACQUELINEAaliyah walked towards the door, twisting the knob to slide the lock out of place. I could see her shadows from beneath her door. It had approached after knowing merely twice. And then the door swung open to reveal her in an apron——and a half wide smile. “Jacqueline, now what are you doing here?” She asked, sticking the tips of her fingers into her mouth. “I just came to see you” I replied as i walked in, closing the door behind me.NOWI walked in, brushing shoulders with the sheriff that was just about to take his leave from Wu’s room. I trailed him with the corner of my eyes as the door closed behind him. They were scattered around the halls i had noticed. And Wu was seated up, against her pillow which was against the wall.She looked better.She was better. She had a bandage wrapped around her left wrist and one around
