It's hard, one word, could tear you apart. Goodbyes are tough very tough. And for Destiny it's the hardest thing to do.

"You have got to be kidding me", I said rolling my eyes
"You're being dramatic", he said
"Yeah, it's my thing didn't...
The thing about the lives we live is that at a certain point in time, we all get tired. Some end it, some don't but still the agony is buried somewhere in that person. People always assume that life is easy, but it's far from that. I like to think, I'm who I choose to be, but it's not entirely true. What mom said, struck a chord, not everybody's happy with me being around which means she's not happy too. But, the thing is, I'm so sick of trying to be the perfect daughter. I'm going to show them and I'm going to do it my way. Starting with the land mom wants so desperately...

"Miss Winslow, I can't do that. Your mother wants and needs it," Mrs Janeway said
"I'm not begging to buy it, I want you to consider it. I'd understand whatever your decision is but I really hope you think about it, because what comes out of it will be beneficial to the society," I said
"Of course then, I'll consider it," she said
"Thanks a lot and thank you for the tea too," I said and stood up dusting the invisible dust off. "I'll be looking forward to your call," and I walked out
What am I doing? It's simple, I'm showing my mom that I don't care. Why bother with the feelings? She's always going to loathe me, so I might as well give her a good reason to. And I'm starting with the Janeway land. My mom as wanted it for as long as I can remember, she used to talk about it when we were still staying at Florida. I've made it clear to Diana Janeway, that if I get that land, I'll be using it for a foundation which will be useful to all. Not for my mom's use. It hurts, okay? I don't want her hating me but I know there's more to it. Maybe you need to know exactly what happened.
“Fawn had just called, telling me to meet with her at the library by the elementary school playground close to her house and I agreed wanting to get our work done. How my parents were home, I didn't know but I informed them and just as I was leaving the house, my mom said to be careful...
I got there, and considering the fact that it was a really quiet and shady place, I didn't want to wait too long. It was a safe place, I knew that or I thought I knew. Turns out I was very wrong. I had waited for twenty minutes in my car and decided I would just wait inside and as I got out, the last thing I remembered was that I wasn't with my phone...
I don't know how long I was out for, let's face it, nobody ever knows how long they're out for, it's cliche, but back to my traumatic experience. Waking up in a fancy room was not what I expected, but I had a feeling my parents had made one too many enemies.
I met Tom and then his accomplices, who I can't remember. I'm yet to find out why he kept on hitting me, but the thing is I know this whole thing is connected to Addie and her real family and somehow I got caught in the middle of the storm. The point is, I will find out every little detail about what happened last year even if it's the last thing I do. That's a promise and I'm not breaking it.

"I'm not exactly surprised," I said
"Amy, listen to me please," Noah begged
"I was going to do it but the point is you hastened it. Turns out your heart isn't for me to break, it belongs to another. I'm happy for you, Terence," I put on a smile
And it hurts badly. You don't know the value of what you have until you lose it but in my case, I never had you.

"Hello, Amberly Winslow on the line," I answered the call
"Hi, dear. It's Diana," the person on the other line introduced
"Oh, Mrs Janeway! Nice hearing from you," I greeted cheerfully even though I was feeling anything but that
"I decided, why not help you? What you want to do will have a great impact on the society. So, I decided the land will go to you," Diana said
"That means so much. I didn't think you'd be calling me today. Thank you so much," I acknowledged
"It's nothing at all, sweetheart. Why don't we meet tomorrow to finalise things?," She asked
"Of course that would be lovely. I'll call you then, thanks again. Goodnight," I said
"Goodnight, Amberly," she replied. "Take good care of yourself, you never know what's lurking in the dark."
Did I imagine that?
