I was so tired and dreained out I just sighed and smiled mumbling my "okay"

End of Flashback

Mark has been trying to show me that he meantb what he was saying ,he has been coming twice or three times a week

Keera and Mike have left last week but they still call everyday to check up on me and Kyle has come almost everyday to checkup on me , he has been living at his parents house just a few blocks away because his house is being renovated and his parents have left for New Zealand with hailey. We have not spoken about the whole situation at work he only asked if im not going back to work and I told him no so he just left it like that. He has been cold towards me but has been pretending to act nice towards mark and we can all se that

"im hungry"I said as we laid a towelon the floor and setting the picnic basket and on then towel, Mark placed a plate full of sliced fruits another plate with sandwiches and another with meat,I was literally drooling as he set the plate infront of me

" This looks yummy, you prepared all this" I asked as I took a bit on each fruit , he just smiled and gave me a small peck on the lips, yet we are already kissing,I mean I need to have a little romance in my life , we sat there for hours talking about random things until the sun began to set

" I think we should started packing our stuff before it gets cold" He said standing up and helping me up, it was the rainy season and only today the weather was perfect but as the sun was setting the weather became chilling , he placed his jacket on my shoulder, packed everything and led me to his care, I decided that I might sleep over at his place today because the house was awefully quiet and I felt alone we drove to his house and made some fire while I sat there with my polar flees blacket and a mug of hot chocolate in my hand, he turned on some country music softly and set behind me wrapping his arms Around me

"You will tall me when you want to sleep right" He whispered softly on my ear and I just smiled , we looked directly on the fire ,looking straight at the fire and enjoying the fire until he spoke up

" I never thought id be here " he said, more to himself than me, I looked at him confused and turned back to the fire waiting for him to continue

"remember I told you I was away for a while"he asked and I nodded pulling him closer to show him that he can open up to me and I wont judge

" I was in prison " he said , my muscles tensed but relaxed seconds later then he began talking again

"I was 22 years when I got in prison" He said looking straight at the fire

"What did you do" I asked out of consciousness , I nearly closed my mouth but he took a deep breath before talking again

" I was just out of juvy and it was hard out there, I was looking for greener pastures , looking for a job but no one would take me , I needed money plus I was hanging with the wrong gang , slowely we began waiting for people at the corner and grabbing their bags or purses, but that was no enough so we began breaking into people's house when no one was inside, it was all well it was easy actually until oneday" He said as he went quiet , I urged him to continue and he just kissed my cheeks

"Oneday me and two of the guys began plotting a plan to our next targe, the plan was well thought off we were going to get this guy who was a delivery guy and just rob his truck with all the posseesions in his truck, we followed him until he got inside his house, when we got there we found his truck empty I guess he has delivered the good and that made the guys really pissed, Kevin one of the guys was so pissed that he went straight inside his house , we tried stopping himbut he was already in the house , there was a lady presuming was his wife in the kitchen washing the dishes, when she saw us she just dropped the glass in her hand and hurried to the telephone , I tried pulling her away but I was late, Kevin has already pulled the trigger and she laid there, bullet in her head and a pool of blood forming around her, I looked on my left and found the guy with his hands in his mouth,tears running down his face , I walked closer to him and I saw him signaling something to someone in the other room, I got so scared man that I just pulled the trigger, he looked at me with tears in his eyes before he fell and his blood surrounded him Then three days later I read that the guy had two daughters and- "

I froze and became pale, I could hear anything futher he said I felt like I was suffocating like he just stopped my heart , my vision becoming blurry and I lost my voice, I couldnt breathe, I couldn't get up , my whole body became numb I felt paralyse, he looked concerned and beagn touching my shoulder asking if I was alright and all I could whisper was "you"

"baby are you alright"he said coming closer trying to touch me

"YOU!!!" I said pushing him away with tears streaming down my face , he looked at me dumfounded and confused

"YOU,Y-You the one who deprived m-me o-f.m-my .m-mm-mom and d-d-dad" I said stumbling on my word ,hes the one who was responsible for most of my misfortunes , he is the reason I don't have a mother and a father right now, he is the reason Keera did not enjoy her childhood, I slowely moved back hitting the walls behind me and balancing on them for balance, he looked confused until realization dawned on him and he slowely moved closer to me, I moved back taking deep breaths , I felt like the walls were closing up on me and I was gasping for air , I touched the doorknob and opened it instantly and got out, I ran out quickly ignoring the pouring rain , I just needed to get away from here quickly, I ran faster and faster feeling him getting nearer me until I saw two bright lights inches away from me , I stood there shocked and numb that the driver came closer to me and led me inside his yellow cab. I looked straight at the window without uttering a word while the car went past mark and straight

"Where are you going young lady" that question withdraw me away from my trance state and I mumbled my direction , Tears began dwelling up again in my eyes and running down my cheek mixed with my soaking wet hair

"Mark" was all I could whisper to myself, I couldn't believe the event that just happened , Mark was the guy who killed my parents, he was the one that made Keera a parent before her age, The one who made me and Keera go through all the hardship together with nmother or father to guide us at all, the reason my child won't see and spend time with her grandparents , at the thought of that I instantly touch my belly and felt a slight cramp on my abdomen and the car went to halt

I looked up to find we have arrived at my house, I just smiled slightly at the driver and got out the car, as is I was about to turn back and tell him to wait for his money he was already gone. I took slow steps to the house, rain pouring heavily on me as I fumbled for the key under our hiding spot , I opened the door and the scene just replayed again, like I was reliving the day again, my dads eyes and his last facial expression, the loud bang and the sobbing that was coming from Keera's mouth and lastly the poolof blood that was engraved in my head with my dad lying in it, my breath stopped , my legs just locked and I couldn't walk in, instantly shut the door and ran , I ran like was being chased by an axe murderer and my breath hitching up, until I got to the portch of a familiar house, I banged the door three times and when the door opened , dark spots began appearing on my vision , I heard my heart beat slowly decreasing and my body collided with the floor and the last word resonating in my ears being "Jay"

"Jay"
