I tried to call Claude again but only the answering machine answered, maybe his phone is off. I tried calling the house but there's no one answering it's really weird, there should ba one person left at home. What's the problem Claude? My mind started to whirl, sudenly I forgot the situation at hand with Geoff. I didn't realize that he stopped crying and he is already shaking me intensely. 

"Jo, Jo, are you with me?" This is crazy, Geoff's fine now, but I'm not. Maybe his bad vibes transferred to me. Ican't answer him. I don't know why. Actually I do but its getting dizzy. I have this assumption, this weird feeling that something is not right, I left home very wel, nothing bad happened, all is well. But? why do I have this bad feeling. Why now? Stupid. It has to be now. But why? Redundant. Then the next thing I know that I'm back to the hotel with Rebecca. 

She touched my head. "What happened to you?"

"I do not know. Why am I here, I'm supposed to be with Geoff because he's crying and all, the car is back at the tower and I didn't even know if it's fixed."

"Jo, calm down. You fainted and Richard was shocked because you werre doing fine back there." 

"How'd you know Richard?"

"He came here with your bestfriend Geoff. I know, don't looke at me like that." I'm frowning.

"This shouldn't have happened. I should be the one to introduce you with my bestfriend and his dad." There's a knock on the door. I stood up and ran towards the door it's papito.

"How are you, Jo?" papito said.

"I'm fine. What happened back home? I called Claude yesterday and I heard something wrong in his voice."

"What are you saying Jo? Everything's fine back home." I doubted his words event hough his my grandfather. I felt something warm on my shoulder. It was my ruffles.

"Dear, calm down. everything's fine don't worry. Look, your papito is just worried about your health and what happened to you, you should be happy they are with us."

By her reassuring words I I have calmed down ang hugged my papito and said sorry to him because of my reaction. He forgave me that moment and went back to his room with mamita.

We had breakfast. While eating I remembered about Darren.

"Hey ruffles, where's Darren?"

"He already left he went back home to mom."

"So..."

"So?" She looked at me with questioning eyes.

"You already know about Andrea?"

"Yes but of course I'm here, I need to look for lolo first. I already called a while ago and dad said she was doing fine." She gave me a faint smile.

"I'm sorry about your mom."

"It's okay, Jo, all we could do now is to pray and have faith with God."

"Yes, yes." My phone rang, my ringtone was Sugar We're Going Down by FOB. Suddenly I felt ashamed because it's not the kind of music the Rebecca knows that I like. She started to laugh.

"It's okay. It's one of my favorites. Get that now."

I saw that it was Geoff was the caller, I signalled Rebecca that it was something important and I should go outside the verandah. 

"Yellow."

"How are you doing, Jo? Are you alright?" Is hould be asking him that question not him.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You?"

"Great." A lie.

"You're lying dude. How's the car?"
