CHAPTER 2

THE DISCOVERY
After three years Zoey and Amanda became best of friends and did not have to wait till Saturdays before they met.

Amanda and her mom relationship had improved Amanda's mom now told Amanda about her father but not in details just what he did before they met. School was still really bad because of the people who could not get pass their fear to really know her, but Amanda didn't let that stop her, she tried averagely well in most subjects and her favorite subject was in the art field; that is painting, drawing, creating and music which where her highest subjects and she often tops the class because unlike other subjects that already have their own formula art gave her the opportunity to express herself using colors that show her emotions during painting or beats to be precise during music.

It was Saturday again and Amanda had woken up late forgetting about her appointment with Zoe. They were to have a normal mourning stroll but the point of a mourning stroll was already defeated because the time was already 9.00am.

Amanda found the thought of walking around in the morning a pointless activity compared to the many times they have done extreme things such as skydiving, camping, crewing even hiking but they didn't go far up before realizing the dangers of climbing a mountain. They also visited aquariums, zoo, museums, gyms and other countries. This was mostly possible because Zoey parents where very rich and Zoey was the only child. But the point of all this was Zoey was planning one of the most boring activities ever. However Amanda will never tell her the activity is boring when all Zoey ever does when she's around is try to make her happy but what does she do when Amanda is not around has always been a mystery to her but every time she was given the opportunity she forgot and started talking about things in her life or about their last adventure.

"I'm late Zoe is going to kill me. She told me this was important" Amanda said immediately she saw the time.

Amanda jumped up from her bed and ran towards the bathroom and within 30minutes she was prepared to see her friend.

"Mom good morning" Amanda said as she ran past her mother in the kitchen.

"Good morning." Amanda mom replied in a sick voice that made Amanda to slow down.

"Mom, are you okay? You look like you didn't sleep at all last night" Amanda said as she reached for the bread.

"I'm all right, thanks for asking. I've just not been feeling myself for some days. That's all." Amanda's mom said rubbing her head. "I've been having some head ache and nightmares"

"Really, is it about those things you don't want me to know about or about those things I'm too young to know understand" Amanda said knowing the symptoms of most of her headaches and buttering the bread.

"Yes, it's one of those dreams" Amanda's mom said reaching out for a chair to straighten her posture.

"MOM, are you sure you're okay? You are slouching and looking very pale" Amanda said leaving her bread and rushing to where her mom was to assist her to a seat.

"I'm okay, just go for your Saturday fun time with Zoe and I will take care of myself but please be back today early, there is something I need to tell you." Amanda's mom said with a stronger and firmer voice than the ones previously used which showed a little urgency in her tone.

"okay I will come back today but please take care of yourself, go to the hospital it may be all you need" Amanda said as she grabbed her bag placed the bread, an apple and a drink to go she had already wasted more time in the kitchen. "Bye mom" Amanda said as she closed the door not given her mother enough time to reply.

"Ding dong" the house bell went as Amanda pressed into an annoying beat that will be hard to ignore. Immediately Zoe opened the door, Amanda rushed in and sat in the chair that seems most comfortable, and turned back to look at Zoe as she locked the doors.
