ARIANA's P.O.V
I came into dad's house and I met him and Steph in a very comprising position. I hissed and walked past them headed for the stairs.
"Oh my God! Ariana. You're so big now" Lucille screamed as she hugged me. I pushed her off my body like the leech she was as I made my way upstairs.
I remembered how I and Stephanie used to be very close. She and Tiffany were besties until Tiffany discovered she was trying to seduce Mike. Stephanie was something anyone could tell she was.
A piercing in the ass
"You guys keep getting along. I'll be here watching soccer" Dad screamed from down stairs
Oh yeah, it's voodoo

"So you clean here up and make dinner just how your dad loves it" Stephanie rambled
I had stayed 10 days in this house but it seemed like 10 years.
"If you know you're this lazy and you love going out, why don't you employ a maid" I Grumbled
"Do you realize you're talking to you're mom..."
"Step-mom-to-be, read my lips, Step mom to be, but that's only if you guys are gonna get married" I said cutting her short.
"I'm your step mom and that is final" she said
"Tell me gold digger, tell me. How does your boyfriend look like. You don't want a maid because you're scared that she'll tell dad all your dirty secrets" I replied
I had always like Stephanie when we were little. Little did I know that she was Tiffany's bestie to become dad's girl..., I can't even say it. The thought of it sickens my belly.
LOVE
I'm at your house come outside.
√√
ME
Are you the one waving at me
√√
That was Caleb.
"I'll be back" I hissed as I pushed Lucille away and left.

"Heyyyyyy" I told Caleb as I gave him a bear hug.
"It's so good to see you. How are you and how is the break" he asked as he pinched my cheeks
"That hurts...but anyways, I've been coping. I decided to come see my dad for a while. How about you" I said
"That's good. I actually went to Rehab for this past week to help free me from my drinking habits. You know, when I lost my dad, my mom's coping mechanism was drinking" Caleb said
I stirred at him for a while trying to comprehend what he just said. It's so unbelievable to think that Caleb has lost his Dad before. I can't believe that he's orphaned of a parent.
"Your dad is dead" I asked
"Yes, my dad is dead. He died some years back in an accident. My elder brother was framed for rape and he ran away from this city to another City. My dad died in an accident, trying to look for him and ever since then, we've lost the joy of our family" Caleb said
"I can't believe this" I whispered
"I know right, me too. It sounds unbelievable but it's true. I lost Kira, Dad and my brother. I don't want to lose anyone else" He said as he started sobbing.
The truth was that I really felt what he was going through. He had no one around him yet he was still able to bottle up. If I went through half of what he's going through, I would look like a mess.
"Guess what, I challenged my mom days ago. Ever since that day, we haven't spoken but I feel bad. I want a happy family. I believe Michael Xavier is still out there somewhere but I don't know where" he said as I patted his shoulder
"Look for him. Keep looking for him. My heart tells me that he is closer. You will find him soon" I said
"Amen" he replied

CALEB'S POV
I entered the house for the first time in 2 weeks and everything had changed. The paintings, the pictures on the wall, the television. Everything looked homely and welcoming.
"Hey Caleb. Welcome home" Mom said as she hugged me.
"You changed the room setting?" I asked
"No, I didn't change only the room's setting but the house setting. Ever since we lost your father and brother, I refused to change the house setting and I left it the exact way your father left it. I love the new setting. It's a bit homely rather than the last colour—ash." Mom said
"That's nice. I'm glad you're moving on" I replied
"Yeah son. There are some bitter realities that life brings your way but you just have to accept it because no matter what, it's life and there are plot twists" Mom said
"But mom, do you really accept it that Mike is dead. Are you accepting this bitter reality" I asked
"There's no option. I have to accept it" Mom replied with a weak smile
"Mom give me one year, exactly one year and your son is coming back to you. And if after one year Mike doesn't come home, you lose hope. Deal" I asked
"Deal" she replied

ARIANA's POV
"Who was that guy. He's hot" Stephanie asked
"Do you have any iota of shame, any pinch of feelings, any feeling of guilt. Now to answer your question, He is my Boyfriend and I know that he's hot. That's one of the many reasons why I like him and if you would excuse me, I need to have my siesta" I replied
"So you're 16 and you have a boyfriend. Have you any shame at all" she asked
"So you're 19 and you're getting married. Have you any shame at all" I replied
"I hate you" she muttered
"The feeling is mutual" I yelled back.
