As I get on the train to London I say a silent prayer and hope that God answers me. I hope I find dad then maybe our lives will change for the better. I sit alone thinking about how life would have been if mom was alive. I remember those days when life was smooth.
Aunt Jayne used to visit us together with uncle Simon. They used to bring gifts for me and Darian, they loved us a lot and I wonder where it all went wrong. After mom died uncle Simon turned abusive when I told aunt Jayne about uncle’s behavior she called me a liar, she said she didn’t want to hear a bad word against her husband.
So here I am, a 19-year-old girl on a train to London. “Cassandra Brown you are strong, you got this” I say these words to myself over and over again.
To distract myself from over thinking I decide to listen to music. Music has always been my get-away, it soothes me down so I play On the Road by Post Malone my favorite.
While my music is playing I receive a call am glad to see that it’s Darian. “is it true?” he asks immediately after I pick up.
“Where are you?” I ask him.
“Am in my room aunt Jayne is downstairs and she is going crazy, she is waiting for the police; Cassie please tell me you didn’t do it.” Darian’s voice breaks down when he says this
“I really did it." I say almost in a whisper but I know he heard me
“Why?” he asks the question a little too harshly
I hold back the tears in my eyes “He tried to rape me.” I mutter
Darian doesn’t answer and for a minute I think he doubts my story
“Damn that’s bad and I wasn’t there for you” the anger in his voice radiates “Where are you now?”
“Don’t hate me for my decision but am going to London to find dad, he is our only hope right now” my voice breaks down more that I intended it to. “I know they will be looking for me but am in disguise. Don’t worry about me D, I will be back with dad before you know it” I say with all the assurance I can muster
“I understand,” he says “please protect yourself I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
“Don’t call me again in the time being because I know they are going to interrogate you about my whereabouts,” I sadly say “am changing my number so I will call you some other time, if I text you delete our conversation immediately after” I finish
“I love you Cassie,” Darian says and it makes me feel better at the moment
“I love you more bro and I will be back soon, you should be hanging out at Luke’s for safety in the afternoon and maybe some sleepovers if possible and don’t tell anyone that you talked to me, erase all evidence of talking to me alright?”
“yes sis” he says with so much emotion then I cut the call
