Chapter 55: Family bond

I made it to the hospital where all of my family members are at. I could see their rooms, they do not realize that I am here yet. I want to surprise them with my return.

They deserve to be happy after all the mess that went down. None of them should have never experienced that in their lives. I do feel bad that most of them got hurt or felt sick. I pray that they recovered because I want them to be healthy and happy again. Evilness and wickedness will not prevail in our family. We are a strong family and nothing will tear us apart.

Opening the door, walking inside their room, they all started screaming and cheering with joy after seeing me. Their yells was so loud that even people outside of the door could hear them.

"tanki Masta fɔ blɛs wi wit wi gyal pikin! (Thank you Lord for blessing us with our daughter!)" My mother said, dancing and clapping like she is at church.

I go up to them and give everyone a hug. It feels so good to see them all again. I was afraid that one of them was going to die. Thank God that was not the case.

"It feels so good to see you all again!" I tell them, I was holding back tears of joy.

"We are happy to see you too." My father said, which made me happy.

"Honestly, we were worried that you were going to get killed by Graves and Jackie." Yamba said.

I do not blame them for feeling that way. Graves and Jackie were both hard to deal with and it looked like they were going to destroy us all.

"You all had every right to be worried because I thought we were done for. They were both equally dangerous and unpredictable. But by the grace of God, they were defeated." I reassured them that everything went well.

"What happened to them? Where is that little boy?" Amie asks.

"Graves got shot and killed by Agent Snipe. Jackie got tranquilized and is behind bars right now. Jacob is with the World of Agents. Agent Snipe and all the agents are taking care of him at the moment." I revealed to them.

"dɛn fit fɔ sɔfa di bad tin dɛn we go apin to dɛn. Dɛn bin mek dis famili fil bad bad wan na dɛn maynd ɛn bɔdi. Dɛn bin ivin pwɛl wi os. Usay wi go de naw? (They deserve to suffer the consequences. They caused so much mental and physical pain to this family. They even destroyed our home. Where are we going to live now?)" My mother vents out her frustration.

"You do not need to worry, Agent Snipe will fix and reinvent the entire house. We do not have to pay for anything. He will pay out of his own pockets and will let us live in a different home while the house is being worked on." I tell them. My mother is relieved after hearing that.

"God bless that man so much!" My father said.

I noticed that Kadie has not said anything. She is looking down and feels sad judging by her face and body language. I need to know what is going on with her.

"Is everything alright, Kadie?" I ask her. She looks at me surprised that I asked that.

"Yeah, I am alright. Why did you ask?" She questions. I can tell that she is hiding the truth from us.

"You have not said one word when I returned. You had your head down and you looked like something was troubling you." I tell her.

"Do not be afraid to tell us, we are family and we should be having discussions." Yamba added. Kadie sighed.

"Alright, I will let you all know how I truly feel." She said, which made me happy. "When Jackie shot me in my arm, I felt weak physically and emotionally. I was supposed to be the strong one in the family as I love wrestling. But I felt like a loser once I got shot. I even embarrassed Ms. Take, who I adored as a wrestler." Kadie reveals to us and it looked like she was going to break down in tears. We all comfort her with a warm hug.

"You are still strong. Do not let one incident determine your worth. Jackie tried to make you look weak, but in reality, she was the loser. Anyone who shoots a underage girl is not a respectable person." I tell her.

"As for Melanie, she did not feel embarrassed for you. She felt bad that you got shot and had to go to a hospital."

"Wow. I never knew that." Kadie said. She is legit surprised when I told her that.

"Another thing that Melanie told me is that once you fully recovered, the training session will resume. Once you turn eighteen, you will become a official VCW wrestler." I revealed to her. She gets up and becomes excited after hearing that.

"Are you serious? Did she actually say that? Please, do not lie to me." She questions if what I was saying is true.

"Yes, it is true. I have text messages from her that everything I was telling you is true." I showed everyone my phone and the text messages. Kadie shouts in excitement and started jumping a lot like a bunny.

"Thank you so much. You are the best!" She said.

"You are welcome. But do not thank me, thank Melanie for giving you this major opportunity." I said, chuckling.

"I am thanking you for protecting us and showing a lot of love for us. What you did was not easy, but you came out alive and those two are rotting for their actions." She elaborated.

"Despite everything that happened, we are still a strong family. Nothing or no one will tear us apart." I tell them.

"Amen" they all said in unison.

"Is anyone else hungry because I am starving right now?" Amie asks. We all started to laugh.

"a swɛ dis gyal lɛk fɔ it (I swear this girl loves to eat.)" My mother said.

"I can't help it. I am hungry and a girl needs to eat!" Amie said.

"Do not worry, I will order food for us all." I said.

"Yay, thank you. I love you so much!" She said, giving me a hug.

"You are welcome. I love you too and every single one of you all. You are the best family in the world." I tell them. I truly did mean that. Everyone in my family is the best. They all deserve to live successful and happy lives. I am glad they are not in danger or pain anymore. I will make sure that never happens again. If it does, they will have the same fate as Jackie and Graves.
