Sometimes, there's really no one to blame. Sometimes things were good but mostly I was hurt. Hope, we had named him Hope, he was our hope,one that would bring hope, love and laughter in our little family but he was gone and my hope was gone. It had been the most difficult time of my life, I cried all day long but nothing help. My colleagues came to support me and my friend came all the time, watching their baby play while mine was dead hurt. This was a difficult puzzle to solve because I couldn't remember what really happened. Chris didn't hurt me, that I'm sure of, he'd never hurt me, if only I knew what happened then I would know who to blame and seek revenge.
"I swear whoever did this to me will suffer the pain I felt." Chris walked in, I told him that if he wanted me to bath I had already took a shower.
"Chloe,you have to stop this."
"What should I stop?Stop mourning for my baby?"
"No. I want you to get out of this bed, be active... let's work together to find the person who did this."
"I cannot remember anything! I told you already."
"Chloe think man! Somebody is out there living their best life and they killed our son, almost killed you. What do you remember?"
"Okay...I remember we had...we argued.You were angry that... I cheated then you left. That's it, that's all I remember... wait...did you tell Thandeka?"
"No, I went to a club."
"Okay, so it's not Thandeka... meaning it really was a break-in."
"Nothing was taken babe."
"How would you know that? This is a big house or maybe they panicked when they saw I was injured then ran."
"We'll find something."
"Something like what Chris? A big house with no working cameras... that's so stupid."
"I thought Thabo had that fixed. I asked him to do it."
"You never follow up, look now... there's nothing we can do. There's nothing the police can do."
"Don't worry babe...we still have much time together, we'll try again."
"I want my baby...I want Hope not another baby."
"We'll figure it out."
"Wait till I remember anything... I'm gonna kill somebody...I swear. Nxaaa!"
