She cussed and swore at the day Ashley entered their lives, completely forgetting she had once ruined another's peace.

She was overjoyed when she heard about Ashley's sudden disappearance. Even DJ didn't know where she went, and she assumed they had broken up. She thought Ashley would not return. She thought that the problem was gone.

    “Are you sure about everything you just told me?” Helen asked Rachel for the umpteenth time. “Yes Aunt. She's one and the same person. She told me so herself. But no one is willing to believe me.” Rachel looked away. Sadness draped her expression. “She’s the reason my husband wants a divorce.” Rachel added in a small voice laden with hurtHelen paced the length of the room. Wanting privacy, they had moved upstairs to Rachel’s old room. Helen’s right pointy finger tapped pensively against the sharp edge of her jaw. She deeply considered all that Rachel had just told her.“How is this even possible?” Helen spewed her thoughts out loud.“I don’t know.” Rachel answered, thinking her Aunt had asked her a question.Helen heaved a deep tired sigh. She couldn’t believe her buried deeds of years ago had awoken to haunt her.“Aunt Helen, do you believe me?” Rachel asked with beseeching eyes. She had just opened up to someone she trusted.

    “Aunt Helen is here?” Rachel asked, too tired to show her excitement at seeing her Aunt.“Yes. She came in this morning. It was a pleasant surprise. She's been asking for you and I tried to call to let you know.” “Where is she?” Rachel asked, looking around the room in search of her Aunt.

Dried streaks of tears lined her face. In the past seventy-two hours, she had cried more than she had ever done in her life. The same Rachel who never cried but rather made others cry. The same Rachel who always had her shít put together. Situations never controlled her. She controlled things.She stood in front of her father’s house trying hard to compose herself. She hadn’t gone to her house. She couldn't be there. Everything there would remind her of the good times she and Bruce shared. That sweet life that was turning into a distant memory.
