Alex“You can walk?” Father asked. I could see the surprise in his eyes as he spoke; he had not expected it, I made sure not a single track was left. I had him exactly where I wanted. I nodded slowly. “Yes, as a matter of fact, I've been able to walk for a while now. I Had the doctor kept it discreet, he would of course have told you about my progress if you'd asked, but I guess you were too busy with other things to worry about your crippled son.” I explained sure enough that the words were shot towards him like daggers.He seemed ashamed after hearing my words; he averted his gaze from me, but I didn't flinch by a bit; I wasn't worried about what his outcome might be. So long as I had all that I wanted, and things were fine so far. “Goodness, this is coming as a surprise to me, Alex , and I've been really busy. I expected him to reach out to me if anything came up. I have failed in that aspect, but tell me, why put yourself through the stress of Wheeling back and forth when you

Giovanni.A loud squeal of laughter eased through my lips on hearing her words. I rested into a chair before kicking up my feet, laughing hard at whatever joke she seemed to be trying so hard to make.“Common now, Hayle , be for real, why are you here?” I asked again. After taking a long amount of time to laugh in her face, she held a right and diem trip to the hem of her dress before swallowing hard.“I don't get it; what exactly do you think I'm here for? Jokes?” Ahr asked, getting quite uneasy, and just then did I realize she seemed to be serious about whatever silky requests it was that she intended to make.“Oh, this isn't a joke? Are you serious? I'm expected to throw twenty-five thousand us down the decking drain for your mom? What makes you think I'll do such a stupid thing?” I asked, but she said nothing. Maybe she had a lot on her mind at the moment; it was just being curious in her speech. I wasn't entirely sure what the problem was about, but to see how she was bradley thi

HAYLE S POV I laid on my side. My eyes wide opened in the complete darkness; it wasn't like I had many options to it; as a matter of fact, I was just as helpless; my sanity was teetering on the edge, and my hope and thoughts on how to save my mother kept dwindling. There was nothing that could be done; I was weak and hopeless, but most of all, seeing how things had begun unfolding these past few days really did bother me. Was I entirely sure I wanted a child born into situations like this? Where I couldn't even afford to get his drugs, of course I wasn't lazy; I would work several jobs, odd or part-time if I couldn't find office work, but then what were the long term plans on how to afford the bills and get myself together, sending a child to school?Besides, would it ever be safe in a country where the maniac Giovanni stayed?I couldn't risk the odds, that as much as I hoped Giovanni would some day wake up and grow bored of me or have no interest, none of it was happening, and a

ALEX's POV.“What happened next?” I asked, my phone glued to my ears while I pranced back and forth down the halls. I swallowed hard, reeling in every thought of how the entire scenario could have played out.“Mr Alex ?” She called out my name. I could imagine her seated against her balcony, the laptop on her table, her feet crossed while she leaned into the armchair, her phone strapped to her ears."Yes, Hayle, you did a good job, and I'll be sure to commend you for it. I'm happy about the progress. I knew you were the perfect one for the job. Imagine if I never had you in charge of what would have happened.” I asked meekly, a faint smile on my face, before I punched myself on the couch.“Nothing else? That's all?” She asked out of sheer curiosity. I missed her. With each word she said, I pictured it in my head. My eyes were pressed firm, and her soothing voice rang like music to my ears. “What else is it that I should know about? Any other problems!?” I asked him, half-mindedly, on

HAYLE'S POV.“Did I by chance do something wrong? Off the radar, perhaps? Piss you off by coming here.” Alex asked all at once.I tilted my head sideways before passing him a warm smile. I knew he was curious, and he seemed to have been bothered judging by how Dustin had acted.“No, nothing; that's your fault. We are good to go. Pardon my friend for acting in such a manner; I should be the one asking for your forgiveness. You didn't offend me in any way; it's just that there had been a couple of rough patches and this... I wouldn't want to bother you, but know it's not your fault; he acts like that every once in a while, and I'll sort it out.” I responded to Alex 's questions.Of course I had a whole lot cooped into my head at the moment; I wasn't certain of which I was meant to fathom; it gave me the irks a little and made me sick, thinking of how Dustin had acted out.I had been so startled and confused at the same time that some random stranger would have thought more had probably
