"I hope we did the right thing? I miss her so much, suddenly It feels like we betrayed her.Eric I just hope we did the right thing"
mom shouted at dad while using her right hand to pull her right ear.
"Woman I Miss her too, what we did was for the best, we both agreed to it,in the first place so why all this doubt now? "Dad responded, while sitting on the sofa.
Mum pants around the living room like one who just lost a million naira, then she threw herself on the sofa and began to murmur in regret.
"Kate"a voice called out, I quickly threw my glance towards the entrance of the kitchen and spotted the owner of the voice starring at me
"You called me?"I said.he nodded.
"How do we communicate with Rach, I miss her too"Andrew questioned.
"Were not, were never going to communicate with her untill she's back."Andrew gave me an unbelievable look and walked out of me.
For crying out loud people it's just been two weeks, If anything,Rach is fine, infact she's better. Don't get me wrong, I know she's my little sister and all but am pretty sure she's gradrually resurrecting from her grave of failure.am pretty much sure mum's all worked up because that skinny black dummy friend of Rach reported Rach's disappearance to the pastor and virtually the pastor visted us yesterday.
He ranted about praying first, he said mum and dad's decisions were to drastic for a girl, and bla bla bla.who cares, the decision had been made and the act had been carried out.
"I want to see my daughter, I think I've made a terrible mistake but how? Eric how do I communicate with her?"mum screamed out to dad.
"Put yourself together, were only two weeks away from seeing her,I know how you feel, it's quite mutual, so please calm down" dad pleaded as he stood up to sit beside mum on the sofa.
Really?like seriously? My parents are kidding me right now, they sounded like they used her for rituals or something.oh please I need a nap like right now.

A part of me felt weak, a part of me felt strong.If mr and mrs Jimmy Jack felt like they were doing the best for their daughter by taking her to the school of ressurection then who am I to question them.I only hope and pray that Rach isn't going through hell.althoug we all want the best for her,may our best not become her worst nightmare.
I heard a knock on the door then,I stood up from the sofa and moved towards the door and opened it.it was Jake, kate's fiance "come in"I said. He walked right in to the house and sat on the sofa.I shut the door and joined him on the sofa.
"Hello Andrew"Jake asked as he brought his hands out for a shake, I shooked him and said"hi Jake"he broke out of the shake first and smiled at me.
"So how is mum and dad?"Jake asked casually, "their great"I responded.
"Is Kate home?" He questioned,now he had hit the nail on the head." Yes, Kate is home, she's at the back yard I guess"he smiled shipishly and nodded his head bath and forth.
"Yeah Uhmm what about Rachel is she back from rehab I miss seeing her cute babish face"I threw a nasty glance at Jake ,that fixed a puzzle on his face then he said "what's wrong in asking after Rachel?"
"You said rehab, she is not at Rehab she's at a school, please correct your self. "
jake formed his lip to an O shape and said"am sorry I didn't know she was at a school, kate told me" interrupted by kate's voice that surprisingly asked
" kate told you what jake?
I and jake turned around to see kate standing behind us,she made her way into the living room and threw herself into the sofa.
"Hello Kate I was about coming to get you from the backyard".jake lied.
"But you didn't ..seems like Andrew was keeping you company by chitchatting with you.
Jake disagreed to what kate said and handed a blue bag to her and told her to guess what was in it,apparently the bag contained their wedding cards, kate was getting married.After Kate realized what she was holding in her hands.she screamed for joy and fell into the arms of her fiancee who had stood up with expectations of the moment for an embrace.
Kate breaks out of the embrace first and throws a glance at me
"Andrew am getting married on june 10th and 11th,"Kate screamed as she pulled me in for a hug."congrats kate"I responded as I broke out of the hug.I exited the living room for them to put their heads together as a couple and begin to plan towards their big day.

Mum and dad still couldn't recover from the fact that I was getting married,the preparations began Immediately, I got my gown,we sent out the cards , we picked a reception venue,we employed a wedding planner.although the traditional was on the 10th, the white wedding was on the 11th mum and dad took care of the traditional while I and the Nelson's took care of the white wedding.
Too bad Rachel wasn't around to join in the marriage groove and preparation which was the talk of the family .atleast mum and dad were free from thinking of their daughter who was at Rehab"hahahaha".
I just pray she makes it out of there alive so she can fit into her chief bride's maid gown before the wedding, in other for neccesary adjustments to be made but in the mean time using vikky's measurement wouldn't be a bad Idea after all they were almost the same height, they had almost the same waist line, hips burst, hands, shoulders, butt.
Apparently they had similar features .Rach will definately give me a high five for it.
"I just can't wait to be mrs Nelson"
