The visions became flashes, I could see bits and pieces of my parents life after that. I saw my old home where I grew up with my Mom and Dad before he left. I saw the fights I never knew they had; Mom was always nagging about money and Dad was struggling to get us by.
But his family was so rich, didn't he have friends who would get him a job? It was as if his past life didn't exist and he didn't care. He was always kind to Mom and me, he tried as much as he could to get me nice things too.
He secretly met his sister but he didn't accept any help from her or even complain about how hard it was on him. I saw how he invited Uncle Mark and his family and how much it meant to Uncle Mark to finally see Mom again.
Mom on her part was so cranky, nothing Dad did for her was ever enough. Whenever I was around them, she would put on a fa
"It's fine. I'm here, I want the baby." Mom and I were shocked."Really? You're not mad?""No. As long as we'll be together, I'm happy." Dad said, smiling genuinely. "Wanna break the news to Claire? She'll be so excited.""Yes." Mom smiled back, wiping her tears.The flashes began again, skipping time. I didn't focus on the images, I could very well remember all that happened after they told me about the pregnancy.I just couldn't accept the fact that they both hid the truth from me? Did it matter? Very much! Would I calmly understand the situation? Heck no! Yet! After Mom married Frank, she should have told me he was James' biological father. And Dad hid it so well, even Mom was nicer.
Once again, the images flashed before my eyes, stopping at the very last day I could remember. The day I planned to run away with James!Frank was out picking James up from school and I was at home alone with Mom when she suddenly decided to go on her rare trips to the grocery store. I could very well remember that she came back with nothing. She grabbed her purse and left. She only told me where she was going so I'd tell Frank when he got home.I was pulled along with her to the grocery store and watched her as she shopped for the necessary stuff. I watched as she went from aisle to aisle until she paid for them and headed out.It was just a normal scenario as she waited for a cab, but then a familiar voice had me turning to the left. It was Abigail! She was on the phone, dressed in sweatpants and a hoodie with cheap jogging
ClaireI remembered how James and I went to Uncle Mark's old house and the words he said about Frank murdering Mom. I remembered how bad I felt about losing Mom, how supportive Uncle Mark's family was; even how I met Dad again and we came over to his house. How I met Abigail for the first... Abigail! She was the one wearing those same shoes the murderer wore and their body size is almost identical.I looked away from Antonio, not surprised that everyone else was in the room with us. There was only one person I was interested in... Abigail.I locked eyes with her, her eyes were watery. What was she crying for? Those tears were definitely fake, she was the one who killed my mother. She robbed James and I of our mother just so she could seduce my Dad and keep him all to herself. It's definitely her; she was the la
I woke up to muffled sounds coming from right inside the room with me. When I opened my eyes, expecting to see someone next to me, there was no one there, I was alone as before. I was about to feel bad and start regretting my actions again when the voice got louder and the person came into sight. Jason!He was on the phone and he had no idea I was up yet. Oh, how happy I was to see him again. I could remember hearing his voice while I was still in coma. Does that mean he was
What happened to Aunt Lucy’s ex-husband? Afterall, it was really his fault I got into a coma. If he didn’t try to hurt my family, I wouldn’t have gotten in the way and ended up bashing my head in the fountain. If anything, he didn’t deserve to be around anyone until he learns to control his anger issues.“What are you thinking about?”“My Aunt’s ex-husband. I was wondering what happened to him.”“Oh! He’s rich so he only got about three months in jail. Plus, your Aunt had to plead for his sake. He may have been a bad Dad, but your cousins couldn’t bear to see him in jail.” I nodded silently. Of course, I could understand. Even as I know Frank was a bad Stepdad to me and an equally bad husband to my Mom, I wouldn’t want him to remain in jail after I just found out he’s James’ real Dad. Does he deserve it? Yeah! But he didn’t murder my mom and he was nice to James
He was sweating and wore running shoes and he just stood there observing Jason and I. I waved him over; half-expecting him to refuse and go into the house, but he came over. His mind too was blank, but I expected that because I know we can’t read each other’s mind because of our psychic abilities. Or at least I hoped that’s the case.“Why are you in a wheelchair? I told you to heal your legs.” I frowned. It’s not like he gave me a manual on psychic abilities.“I can’t. I tried to focus on my legs to know if…”“Just heal them and stop acting all pitiful.” What’s his problem?!“Take it easy on her, she…”“She can do it; she’s just being lazy and wants everything handed over to her.” Antonio said as he cut Jason off.“My bet is that you didn’t even bother to check up on Abigail and see how badly she’s hurt. You s
“Oh my God!” She said slowly as she put the little girl down. “Claire? You’re really awake?” She came over to me immediately, hugging me, looking at me; observing everything.“You’re awake and you’re up?” She turned to Reggie and back to me. “Shouldn’t you be in bed? Are you really okay?” I could very well tell she was surprised and excited and she just couldn’t get enough of me.“I’m okay, Emma. I’m so happy to see you.” She laughed amid tears, finally hugging me.“I’m more than happy to see your pretty eyes open again; and your smile.” We were just laughing and crying when suddenly Shelby shrieked.“Aww, shoot!” Emma exclaimed as she moved away from me to pick Shelby up and console her.“Why is she suddenly crying?” I asked.“Because her mama is crying.” Reggie replied before Emma could
Whoever was on the phone answered.“Matt…” Abigail said breathlessly with a huge smile. “You won’t believe it; I just saw Doris.” A pause. “Yes!” She said with her smile getting bigger. “Of course, she ran away from me, but if you could get Nick over here fast, he can find her before she packs up and go somewhere else.” Another pause. She hung up.“Finally.” She muttered under her breath as she dialed another number. “Beatriz, I’m heading over to the airport now.” A short pause. “No, leave them cancelled. I know I’m coming back early but I’m not coming back to work, something came up.” An even shorter pause. “Yeah. I’m letting you know so you’ll have a car waiting for me.” She hung up and flagged down a cab.The next thing I could see, she got to a hotel to change into a gown, befitting her status. Then she grabbed her suitca
