Chapter 22

Chapter 22

                We came back home early.

                Matthew and Caleb were already at the airport.

                They meted us and Caleb said “Sorry we ruined your vacation.”

                I smiled at Caleb and said “Thank you for taking care of our house.”

                “No problem.” He said

                “How’s Parker?” I asked him.

                “His very well.” He answered.

                “Matthew would you like to meet my best friend Jamie?” I asked him.

                “Would be delighted too.” He said.

                Then we went to his car and started to drive home.

                Matthew, pulled over and stopped at Raleigh’s house. I wanted to go to my house.

                “Raleigh can I check my house now?” I asked him.

                He looked at Matthew and Caleb.

                “Lia, everything will be changed now. You can’t be alone for a while until we sort things out.” Raleigh said.

                “Oh okay, sorry.” I said and looked at them.

                “Come on, let’s check it.” He said.

                We went inside my house and nothing’s changed and I saw the letter that says

                                ‘Nearly 21 and I’m coming to claim you as you owe my your life’

                I went to my bedroom and check for everything and Raleigh was following me.

                “Lia, you have to stay at my house. You can’t be alone for a while.” He told me.

                I just nodded. I don’t want to start arguing I neither don’t want to see Dylan’s face again.

Morning came and I woke up looking at Raleigh’s face. I kissed his forehead and whispered “Good morning handsome.”

                I went down and shot myself insulin. And start preparing to work. I prepared breakfast and heard Raleigh coming down.

                He came to me and said “Good morning” and kissed me.

                “What time’s your work?” he asked me.

                “Starts at 9” I answered him.

                “Okay, I’ll drop you by. I think I’ll start working at Johnson’s too.” Then he smiled at me.

                We ate together and he said “Lia, what do you want for your birthday?”

                I asked him “What do you mean?”

                “A party? Or what?” he asked.
