Chapter 1.

6:00am

I woke up ,finally.I asked the nurse what happened and she said i had finally woken from a coma.I looked at my surroundings and indeed i was in a hospital,in a hospital bed with strange tube things attached to me."Honey, your ok!",i could recognize that voice anywhere. It was my mothers.I looked beside me and there she was.Still confused about what was going on I asked her how long i was asleep."4 months"she replied ,"You can home home tomorrow once the doctors and nurses are sure your stable, then ill tell you what happened".She smiled , she picked up my hand and made a strange face."what is it ?"i asked."nothing" and she put down my hand."Wheres dad?" I also asked."ill tell you that when you come home tomorrow to".

I got up to go to the washroom to splash my face with water.I looked at the mirror to find my long bleach blonde hair freakishly knotty.My blue eyes looked bare with no makeup on.I felt that i looked a bit older than 18 but noone else did,Which left me hanging.

The next day...

I was home ,finally home.

I stepped into the house and breathed in the wonderful smell of mums

home cooking.A smile came upon my face, I finally felt home, except for the one thing mom didnt tell me about yet...dad.Mum and me sat at the kitchen table and she handed me a cup of tetley green tea, my favourite."so" i said "what about dad?"..

The smile from her face suddenly disapeared.

"Well..he left us,Im really sorry andy but...."She teared up and ran to her room.I couldnt run after her,because I hate crying and i tend to tear up really easily so.."knock, knock, knock" i ran to answer it, I openned it to see..A letter lying on the welcome mat..It was labeled Madison &Andrea..I was guessing it was from dad but,it wasn't.I bent over and picked it up i teared the one side open.I pulled out the lined peice of paper..It wasn't even dad...Steves writing...i corrected myself.I walked inside while unfolding the small peice of paper.

I shut the door and started reading the letter.

It read-"My girls,You dont know me but i know you, you cant see me but i can see you.."Thats all i had to read before i locked the door and ripped the letter up.My mum walked in and asked " who was that?" ,finally not crying but with red eyes.."it was just the..the paper boy"...I normally dont lie but i couldnt make my mum feel worse after everything shes already gone through.I looked at the ground and sighed."nice cover" i thought to myself.

A couple hours later another letter came and this one was from the same person ,it read-"i saw you rip it up, dont think i can see you right now well your thinking wrong"after that there was a riddle-"This is the last letter i will send you,but not the last message.You may not know im around you but i will be...Suspection is a wise choice,but not a smart one.You will know when its me, you will not think so.."

At first i honestly thought it was a joke..then the phone rang not our cell phones but the home phone..A little shakey i picked up and said"hello" there was silence then some heavy breathing ,then they spoke "so, you got my letter, i saw that confused face and thought maybe i should clear everything out for you,or not.I'll have some fun then ill give you a clue"...i started to tear up and said "Who are you and what do you want from me?".."oh its not JUST you" he said" that im pretty sure you understand now,I see you right now and to make it clear im not there but i see you"..Thats when it hit me..CAMERAS.

I spinned around three

times analyzing the kitchen..not seeing any thing suspicious...and thats when i caught on..I hung up the phone and started to think....Suspicion is a wise choice but not a smart one..i automatically thought that ment that suspecting a "suspicious" looking camera was not a smart choice

"Andy im going out shopping,would you like to tag a long.."no im ok, thanks for asking though" i replied ..My mum left and locked the door behind her, normally when my mum went shopping she would be gone for atleast 4 hours since she goes to toronto..Shes more of a big brand name person to.

I sat on the counter top and grabbed some ritz cheese crackers to snack on before I pressed redial on the phone ,i was only calling back to tell him i was catching on ,unless he can read minds to.I put the crackers aside and picked up the phone.Not even a full ring until he picked up "enjoying your snack ?"he asked "of coarse" i replied ,i wasnt gonna be mean i'll pull an innocent nice one and go along with what he wants ."Well" he said, "why are you calling me?"."Right" i replied "ive solved a part of the riddle, now dont i deserve a clue for the next part?".."of coarse."..he paused "there!".

Suddenly i got a text, and he hung up.I put the phone aside and grabbed my blackberry out of my jean pocket.It read-"I dont think you deserve a clue, because you hung up on me the first time i called".I pressed reply and said-"well, i guess thats fair, but i think i deserve to know how you have my phone number AND my cell number?".I only waited like 30 seconds for a reply that read-"Andy,Andy,Andy! i thought you were smarter then that, have you not heard of a phone book?".That made me feel kind of stupid but then i realized ,They dont put cell numbers in the phone book. So I replied"they dont put cell numbers in the phone book and how on earth do you know our first names if they only put the ennitials in the phonebook?".After i sent that there was no reply so I started to wonder,Was this all really a joke?. No,it couldnt be.

The phone rang again ,this time it was my mum, she said she met a guy at the mall and he's taking her out to dinner.I should be mad or frusterated or sad or shocked or something but, its the happiest ive ever heard her other then the time she knew i was going to be fine, "by the way mum how did i end up in a coma anyways?"."I'll tell you when i get home, kay i have to go now, bye hunn." "bye" i said then hung up.

It seemed like she kept delaying ,telling me the reason how i got into a coma,I coudnt think of any reason so i would just wait no matter how long it took.Mum didnt get home until 7:30 and she came with Jack ( her new boyfreind).Mum went to the kitchen to grab all three of us a drink and that left us alone in the living room to get to know eachother better.

He actually seemed like a pretty nice guy, he had no kids, no criminal records, and a puppy named taco.He said he owned his own buisness so i guess he was a money maker which made it a whole lot better.He also said he lived in Bowmanville and owned one of the biggest houses there .Mum walked back in with our drinks "thanks" me and Jack replied at the same time."So", i said breaking the silence"When are you guys going on a second date?"."tomorrow" they both also replied at the same time.

They gave eachother a look then both grinned.Seeing my mum happy always put a smile on my face,i think this is the happiest shes ever been with a guy,i mean with dad she wasn't always smiling and with jack i could hear her humming in the kitchen .That never happened with dad.
