Three months has gone since the tragedy of Paul Miller's death. The day he shot himself in the head after murdering his entire family along with the three household staffs working there. Henry's intuition was right on that midday, and after the gunshot sound, he left his cab and rushed in to get me out of there. I couldn't be more grateful to him for what he did; without him, I think I would have still been frozen in that madhouse. He even called the police on my behalf and waited there with me until they arrived.
Remembering it all now, this last event changed everything in my life. Henry and I grew closer to the joy of my mom; we had now dear memories of fishing trips together. He even taught me how to drive and how to change the wheel of a car. Sometimes I wonder if he is an angel sent to mom and me after the sudden disappearance of dad. No matter what it is, he is like a father to me, and he isn't leaving us anytime soon.
I also found myself a new friend in A-Tra(i)n. Speaking of him, we just left the cinema, and he waved at me one last good-bye. Now, I will make a special announcement on my Wattpad account:
Today it has been one year day for day that I has been on Wattpad. My book has grown a lot, and so has my knowledge of writing.
"The Smile of My Mom" is finally done and fully edited. It has reached 20,000 views and 3,000 votes. I would never hope to achieve something like this. Actually, I never achieved anything in my whole life until today, and all I can wish for is my two best friends to celebrate it with me, but unfortunately they won't be there anymore on this platform and never anywhere else.
One of them was Paul Miller, aka Jane Toppan, and the other was Emilie Do, whom we all knew under M and from the overseas news on TV.
Paul was incredibly talented and well versed in the craft of writing; if only he could have shared his knowledge with others instead of being bitter that no one read his book. He became this awful character that hurt so many young writers.
Among them was Emilie; she helped and cheered everyone in her path, but in truth, no one knew how hard it was to live as Emilie in her real life.
I am here too to say good-bye to this platform; as of tomorrow, I'll leave for Grenoble, France to perfect my French and study literature.
Why France? Well, I grew up thinking that schools are expensive, especially good schools that will put my mom and I in debt, but the world is huge. One expensive thing doesn't mean that it's the same everywhere. Besides, I think it's about time I let my mom live her life, and maybe I'll meet someone there too.
