2006.

Tamela sat in her room next to the window for her morning prayer, she knelt down and she said her prayer.

Feeling that she was content, Tamela ended her prayer and wrote on her diary as she drank her tea. It was her usual routine, every morning for the last 3 years she would do this and it helped her clear her head.

After finishing, she went to her bed and she went to sleep.

She woke up at 4 pm, wiping the sleep off of her and she went to the bathroom to refresh a little, then made her way to the next bedroom in her apartment .

Walking in Tamela switched the light on and she took her bucket and put some warm water in it and walked over to Karen and she took off her clothes and started washing her.

It's been 3 and a half years now since she was taking care of her, a doctor she had to pay a lot of money to taught her how to change her tubes and feed her and take care of her and it took a while to get used to but she finally got the hang of it.

She knew it was risky keeping her there especially since when she would go to work she would leave her all alone, but this to her was better than her family switching off her life supply.

They started calling her crazy for not wanting to pull off the machines and her obsession with Karen caused her her family. It was like she couldn't get away from her... Karen pulled her in like a magnet and she didn't understand why, why she risked her entire life for a woman she didn't know.

Tamela put the needed fluids in her body and when she was done cleaning her up she sat down next to her like she always would and she started reading to her.

She would sometimes look at her and wonder if she was doing the right thing, wondered if her dreams or feelings were failing her and she should actually let Karen go but she just wouldn't allow herself to. She had too much hope for that.

Flashback:

Tamela got to her house , she caught a cab from the airport to surprise her husband who has been begging her to come back home for weeks now.

She was stuck in Detroit because she used to visit Karen everyday, to see if she was making any changes and her husband was getting tired of it. The past 5 months Tamela has been in and out of the house and David and the children would often be mad at her absence.

It was in the middle of the day, she figured that her children wouldn't be home and that would give her enough time with her husband a bit and so even though she missed them, it was perfect for them.

Tamela got to her house and she went to her bedroom, to her surprise her surprise turned for the worst when she found her husband on top of another woman in their own bedroom.

"David!" Tamela yelled as he was so caught up in the pleasure that they couldn't even hear anyone entering the house.

"Tam... Dear!" David exclaimed getting off of the woman. Tamela couldn't believe her eyes.

After she was done spending time and reading to Karen, Tamela made her way out Karen's room to start getting ready herself, she had to get to work for her shift .

Tamela worked 10 hours in a bar nearby, it was all she could get after she escaped with Karen and she had to keep a low profile but still able to maintain being able to help Karen and the things she needed.
