Dorlin

I wrote a note for my Mom as I was about to leave Dorlin. I have to do this for myself and for the sake of my family's reputation.

Here's what I wrote.

Dear Mom,

It may be hard for both of us but I guess I have no other choice aside from leaving this place, after all I don't exist in Dad's world.
Please don't come looking for me, I ask you this Mom as a gift.

I love you Mom. And please let Dad know that I'm leaving and that he doesn't have to worry.

With love,
Kim Ralph

I can feel a liquid form trying to escape from my eyes. I wiped them before they could escape.

"Bro? Why are you still up? Hey! Are you crying?" Shaun asks while he rubs his eyes. The light must have woke him up. He hates to sleep when the lights are on. Tho he's already sleeping, he can feel the lights are on. Must be his reflex to the lights haha

"No bro. Go back to sleep now. I'm about to turn it off so don't worry... Besides this will be the last time." I said then I flashed a smile, a fake one. I hope he didn't notice it.

"O-okay" he said as he started to cuddle his pillows and back to sleep. We two shares the same room since we two are twins and we really get along with each other that's why Mom decided just to have one room for us. Oh by the way, he's Shaun Riley, my twin brother and Mom says he's 1 minute and 37 seconds older than me. And I'm Kim Ralph, tho I won't be using that name anymore, I'm gonna use the identity of my own butler, Nathaniel Grey Beckham. Sorry Nate.

I slowly took my bag which is already full of my things before I could get out of the room. I took a glance on my brother who's now sleeping peacefully.

"Goodbye bro" I said and by the time I turned again, I saw Nate standing in front of me.

"Hey Nate, can you give this to Mom? As planned" I handed him the note

"Are you really sure about this You--?"

Before he could finish, I stopped him.

"Drop the formalities, Nate. No need for that anymore. And I can't turn back now, I have to do this, Nate. Besides I already have prepared all the stuffs when I get there, it's such a waste if I have to cancel it all." I said as I pat his shoulders. He's my personal butler, but I saw him as a friend. A true one, that is. "Just hand it to Mom first thing in the morning, okay?" I added.

"Okay, Kim. As planned, I will give it to your Mom before breakfast as if I just saw it at my desk." He says.
"Okay. But how about Shaun? What should I tell him? I'm sure he'll never stop asking me." Nate asks and he kinda nervous. Well I can't blame him, after all Shaun is so persistent.

"Just tell him you know nothing"

"As if that will convince him. Ha-ha" He laughs as if he's not sure whether to laugh or not.

"Don't worry, I left a note for him too, just in case." I lied just to calm down Nathan.

"Are you sure you'll be okay on your own? I can come with you, my Mom and Dad won't bother anyway." He said with sadness in his voice. I haven't said this before but Nate, Shaun and I grew up together and we are the best of best friends.

"You're being like Shaun, so persistent. Haha! Well, you don't have to Nate. More like you can't go with me. You know, Sheila will hunt you down if you ever leave her. Haha" I laughed as I saw his expression.

Nathan just pouts. Which I find childish for the likes of him.

"Whatever man. Shouldn't you have to go now?" He asked while he points at the door.

"You know, you seem to like the idea of me leaving the house." Of course I was just kidding. I know how Nate really feels.

"Yeah! Yeah! Whatever Kim

You really should leave now. You see, the maids will be up sooner." He said as he help me carry my things.

When we are at the outside already, I saw a car waiting for me. Old man Tucker is there, he will drop me to the airport. Before I enter the car, I look at the house and I inhale deeply and let go of it and said

"Goodbye."
