" My family and I are all grateful that you came, we are thank you for standing together with us during this hard time that caught us off guard mentally and emotionally, for showing up in large numbers despite the pandemic, you have all touched me corazon." Everyone was gathered outside beneath the street lights, as he spoke.  Two police men standing beside him.This home was now marked a scene of crime as if someone had pushed him." Due to the string of unfortunate events, we can't continue and the police want everyone to go home, so they can begin their investigations, thus area is now labeled a crime scene, the few individuals who would like to record their statements can stay back for a few minutes, but that will be all,once again, I'm forever grateful for you all standing by my kids and family and holding our hands during this period of grief, goodnight and thank you all."I scoffed inwardly at the perfect

" Ma'am, calm down please," the brave detective who looked scared was now pleading. I got up from my seat and rushed to the door to catch sight of the drama. Such high level and dramatic woman were the type you met once and I wouldn't let that opportunity slide. As soon as my eyes caught sight of her I gasped. She was wearing high end heel, lips soaked with red lipstick and a woolen coat I had spotted Jason Derulo wearing. She passed the door was standing at with speed and elegance leaving behind a trail of perfume and bumping into the detective rudely, an act that I highly applauded her  for, she could have my favorite hoodie for that if she wanted. She pushed open a door and someone made a move to stop her before she flung a string if abuses and curses to stop them. " He is here voluntarily, we are not arresting him," a voice greeted her warmly. " Well, he is

" Collateral damage!" I screamed. Out of the whole world, only four people knew what was going on and one of them was six feet underground. Whoever stole the diary, probably him my father to say, my biological father and I. He looked at me surprised. At this point I wasn't sure if it was staged or genuine. " Yeah, collateral damage, a lot of it," he replied. I felt the weird feeling come back and I was about to start shaking and breathing fast again. At this point it was right to question my sanity, was my sanity okay? The few people in my life who I now held onto like a life raft were not so steady anymore. " My wife going insane, my divorce, yeah my divorce, I act unaffected but deep down it's affecting me. And many more," he smiled. " Your aching dying love for me just died when you realized I'm flawed from head to toe?" I asked

" Come on Luke, you can't do this to a girl who barely eats," I whispered in his ear and he replied by snoring loudly.   " Wait hear, I'll get someone to carry you," I said.   " Twaine," he grunted slowly, refusing to let go of my hand.   "Teddy bear, just relax I'm coming back right now, nothing is going to eat you up," I whispered again ruffling his hair.   " Before you go," he interrupted.   " Let's just walk as you tell me, please," I tried to plead.   " No, I'm sleeping," he groaned.   He was a kid and probably wanted someone to baby him around. I couldn't blame him, he just lost his mama at such a young age, and with everything going on he needed a support system or someone to make him feel loved.   " Can I ask you something, but please don't be mad?"    " Okay , Luke ask me," I replied

I stood still waiting for his hand to hit home. It seemed like my body was the home of blows and I couldn't deny that.A person can get used to anything when given enough time. Right now I was used to all of it.His fist hit the wall behind me loudly as he cursed under his breath furiously.I didn't move or tremble, I was used to it all and if he had hit me I wouldn't have been scared.Nick came and held him back as he spoke fast in words I couldn't grasp." Just go upstairs to bed," he urged, " it's been a long day for everyone and clearly he is not taking it well, he needs time to grieve and many more," he then kissed my forehead as he urged me to go upstairs to bed.I nodded with teary eyes, trying to stay strong." Everyone get out of my house, all the illegal people out," he screamed.I looked back and Nick nodded telling me to go and
