Back at Mrs Stevens house
Mrs Stevens: " Honey I'm so sorry this happened to you. I think you should have some rest now" she said with tears in her eyes
Me: but I wanna see Mum, they took her away and wouldn't let me follow them, I was hoping you could take me there, please" I begged with tears running down my face
Mrs Stevens: "Darrien you know you can't, there's actually a reason why they wouldn't let you go there, plus Daniel's there right now and he wouldn't leave her side, okay just have some rest, please" she said cupping my cheeks " please?" She asked again
And I nodded Following her to the room set led me to.In the morning I woke up and Carrel was staring at me
Carrel: I know you are sad about your mummy but stop crying
Me: crying and I touched my face there were tears on it and I cleaned it
Carrel: do you know you were talking in your sleep
Me: you're lying I never talk in my sleep
Carrel: but I heard you, you said
( She is your wife and you are meant to take care of her and not hurt her)
I know your daddy hurt your mummy I saw him through the window, he hit her
Me: Carrel have you told anyone
Carrel: no I was waiting for you to wake up so that I could tell you and we would go tell the police
Darrien: ok Carrel you can't tell anyone
Carrel: uhh but why, he did a bad thing
Me: I don't know why but I promised my mum that I wouldn't tell anyone so you can't
Carrel: but if we don't, the bad man would get away
Me: I know but we can't, you have to promise me you won't tell anyone
Carrel: fine I won't
Me: promise
Carrel: promise uhh . Now can we go have breakfast and she pulled me out of the bed and down to the tableMrs Stevens: morning Darrien how was your night
Me: morning it was nice, thanks can I go brush my teeth
Carrel: no have breakfast first so that people won't smell what you had for breakfast
Me: okAnd Mrs Stevens gave me a plate of toast and orange juice after breakfast, Mr Stevens told mrs Stevens to get us ready for school and we did and she took us to school
In school I kept on thinking about my mum and after school, I was on the play ground and Carrel and her friend Thandi came and sat beside me and Thomas came along and was hitting Carrel and saying she is in love with her best friend and he pushed Carrel off the swing she was on and I stood up and punched Thomas in the face and I was taken to the principal office and Mrs Stevens came and got us. She explained everything to the principal and I was asked to go home. At home I didn't wait, I ran to Mr Stevens and asked him about my mum but he didn't answer and I went back to my house cause I wanted to change my clothes and Ashley came
Me: Ashley, boy am I happy to see you, so where is she
Ashley: Darrien I am sorry to tell you she is
Me: where is she
Ashley: she went up there, God saw her as a beautiful flower and took her
Me: up stairs, ok I will go get her.
And she grabbed my hand no Darrien she is no more
Me: you promised to bring her with you the next time you were coming. A promise is not suppossed to be broken.I hate you!
I ran to my room and locked the door behind me and started crying and Carrel walked in through the window
Carrel: Darrien you have to stop crying. I know you are sad because your mummy left you
Me: go away, I want to be left alone. You know, you are lucky, cause your mummy is still with you.
Carrel: you don't have to worry, you can share my mummy. She is enough for two of us.
Me: That's not possible everyone gets one Mum and only one Mum
Carrel: who told you that, Thandi got two Mummys and they are both still alive, just that one is with his Mum and the other is not, so you can have two Mummys and I want you have have mine,okay?
I nodded and she hugged me,
Carrel: So now can you have something to eat
I nodded and she went out and brought back some cookies and milk
We both had it and fell asleep at the foot of my room door,************************************
