I Came Back For You

Chapter Twenty

Mum Pov

Sam had asked that we leave everything for him to take care of. After breaking the "news" to Alice that she wasn't going to have her party, he went to talk to her and somehow he managed to convince her and suprisingly Ally was okay with it, although I know she was hurt, she tried her best not to show it.

Sam asked for his father's credit card on Wednesday so that he could organise for the party. Things got a little bit out of hands since school was interfering with his plans therefore he called his uncle to come over and lend him a hand.

Brian had gotten close to the kids over the two years and he loved them so much and so did they. He seemed to have a soft spot for Ally since she was the only girl in the house therefore most of his attention was directed to her.

My relationship with him was good and since that day when he came back, he never tried to do anything that would break us. He always tried his best to be the loving and caring brother. I was actually happy that I had a brother like him even though we were never related by blood.

He came here today in the morning and started organising everything for Ally's party. By the  time Ally was coming home everything was ready except for the lights and music but right now everything is good.

"Hey Eva. I've missed you so much. How have you been" I turned around to see Brian walking in the kitchen looking all exhausted.

"I've been good" I say as I hand him a cup of coffee and some cookies. I know how much he loves my coffee and cookies therefore everytime he's around, I always make sure I have them ready. " How's the business and everything"

"It's doing much better now from the last time you came home." He takes a sip of his coffee and then he looks at me with a serious face.
"What is it" I ask him

"It's Jeff. He's back again and he's been asking me about you. This time he seems more determined to find you"

"He already did. I met him at the stores some few weeks ago me" I go on and tell him all that happened.

"Now that he knows where you live, am sure he will be staying for long." My phone rings from an unknown number and I ignore it.
It rings for the second and third time but my brother insists that I pick it up.

I walk outside and take the call. My body freezes at hearing his voice again.
After talking for about 5 minutes, I head back to the kitchen where my brother is still eating his cookies.

"He's here" I whisper more to myself but loud enough for him to here

"Who is here" he gives me a confused look then "what? But how?"

"I don't know. He said he wants to speak to me. Watch Kei for me please"

"You're going to meet him?"

"Yeah, it's not like I have an option"

"Okay. I'll stay with him"

I walk out of the house and make my way to the garden but before I get there someone pulls me from behind and now he's standing in front of me while my back is against the wall. It's a bit dark outside for me to see him clearly but am sure that it's him.

"What is wrong with you Jeff"
I am more annoyed to myself that him when I ask him that.

"Nothing is wrong with me. Actually I should be the one to ask that"

"What do you mean?" I look at him confused.

"This is not the right place for us to talk. Let's go somewhere, my car is parked at the side of the road so..."

"Are you asking me to leave with you? Jeff you are crazy. Am not going anywhere. I can't leave my daughter's party and run off with a man to god knows where" He gives me a mocking smile and I swear my blood boils with anger when I realize what he's thinking. This is the part of him that I always tried hard not to bring out. How could I forget that.

"Am not asking you to go with me. I am telling you, commanding you to be specific. Now let's walk to the car" I know better than to argue with him so I just follow him to his car.

I should have known this day would come. But how can you be prepared to face your troubles.
