When life turns to be unfair

C h a p t e r 45: Remember.

Whoever you are, I hate you. Valencia thought as Thomas was telling her about what happened to Drake and the awful thing he received.

"I'm sure it was his finger. It was the one pinkie they used to use as their 'I already miss you' whenever they're going in different ways, he had a scar in it. They were such a cheesy couple." Thomas smiled sadly, but as for her, her face stayed stoned. "I wonder how the person knew about that to begin with."

"Thomas, the first day I was taken to this prison, a girl told me something odd. Now it makes sense, but it's bad news."
She told him the whole story, even the one related to Dylan.

Tears were close to fall down her cheeks but she wiped them off before they get too far.

"I believe he's still alive. Drake isn't a weak person."

Thomas' voice echoed through the empty room, swimming around looking for ears who completely believe in what he said.

Valencia's mind was a hurricane. Her son, her brother and her friend are in danger and she can do nothing about it.

She let out a frustrated groan as she stood up violently.
"Our only thread is Dylan now. You need to track him down. Find a way to talk to him, but remember that there may be someone watching anywhere. Don't go near Declan though, I have a bad feeling."

Thomas seemed to be thinking for a while. He had an idea, but he didn't want it to be his last choice.

"I'll tell you if I was to do anything new, I may have an idea but if I'll go for it I need to delay your court day for a week even though you need to go out as soon as possible."

Valencia had a ghost smile on her face. "I am used to being caged like an animal. The only way I can get out of here legally is that you solve all of this, which may take a while."

Thomas watched her silently, hesitating. "Valencia, I think there's something we need to talk about, something you need to remember."

She looked at him confused.

"It's something you decided to block out of your memory after giving birth, the father."

She didn't move an inch. "I don't know the father."

"Are you sure? I only started hearing that after Raymond existed."

Ethan woke up in the middle of the night for a cup of water. He passed next to Zack's room to find it empty. He went to Valencia's room and knocked the door, but he heard no sound. He opened it slowly and looked around using his phone's flashlight.

Ethan glanced at his friend as he was laying his head on the bed where the baby was sleeping.

"Zack..." he moved him a bit until Zack opened his eyes yawning. "You should go sleep in your bed or you'll wake up with back pain."

Zack closed his eyes and muttered in a sleepy tone. "I can't let him alone and I'd crush him if I sleep next to him. He's in danger."

Ethan sighed and patted Zack on his back. "Get your ass up and go sleep in your own bed. I'll watch over him."
