Diane!

My Family

Next day at around 11 Jean and Craig came back with the release papers. I was released shortly after that. I rushed home , it wasnt like how I had left it. It had been searched. I ignored all the mess and ran up to my room. I took a quick shower, dressed up nicely and left the house. I knew where I needed to go . I headed straight there. 

Her grave looked beautiful. All  decorated with bright flowers and garlands. I sat beside it. The epitaph read "In memory of our daughter Avril Stepens "

I dont know why, but tears ran down my cheeks. I was soon sobbing uncontrollably. In my determination for revenge, I had killed a poor innocent soul who only thought of the well being of her family. Not once did she give up on them. She sacrificed her life for them. The guilt was terrible. It was eating me up alive.  Soon the media was there. They were taking all sorts of pictures of me, asking me all sorts of questions.. I tried to escape but the camera flashes blinded me. They left no way to escape. They engulfed me with their questions. 

I fell to the ground feeling faint and lifeless. After such a long time, so much excitement was hard for me to bear. I just wished it would all go away!

Before I knew it someone grabbed my hand and I was being lead towards a black car. I was soon told to get inside. I dont know why but I obeyed. I had no clue who this person was. She was wearing a black dress with black stilettos and she had her face covered. Her voice was really gentle and so I thought it was alright to obey what the voice said. She soon got in beside me and we drove off. Away from the flashes. She soon uncovered her face.

Stacy! i gasped. What are you doing here? Did you just rescue me? How did you know where I was?

She laughed at my sudden outbursts of questions. 

"Yes Dr. I did just rescue you, and I got a call from Craig saying that they had released you. So I went to your house and found it empty. My gut told me you would be here. So I drove here and found you! "

You- you saved me! you came back for me! I whispered, chocked with tears

"Well course i saved you. After all you did for me and the kids? How couldnt I? I never gave up on you. Not for one moment"

But- you never visited? 

"They never let me. I tried to come meet you tons of times but they didnt allow me inside"

I was crying real hard now. Thats all I ever did these days.  Stacy gave me a big hug and assured me that everything would be fine. 

Just drop me off home Stacy, I'm not in the mood for lunch. 

"About that Dr. you aint going home. I and my husband have decided that you're gonna be staying with us. Since your not going to be going to work now, so we dont want you to stay home alone!"

It was true. I was not allowed to go back to work. My licence was banned. But surprisingly, I found I didnt deny Stacy .I agreed to go back home with her. 

The children were absolutely delighted to see me. As for me? I had found a Family. Everything came back to normal. There was going to be a happy ever after, after all. I knew it. I could feel it.

That night I slept peacefully without the help of any sleeping pills and when I woke up next morning , I woke up to a new morning! 

My life changed. And as for Avril , She lived. In my heart....

 I was just seeking revenge... I found revenge, pain ,hatred, imprisonment but in the end , a family!  

And as for the name Diane., that's my name...Dr.Isabel Diane Sequera!
