SECRETS “Has she left?” I asked my one of the men walking for me who for some reason avoids meeting my eyes, though I don't mind. I love when people show fear. “Y.. yes sir. The plan took off some hours ago” he informed me. “And why exactly am I just finding that out? Alright, you can leave” I said waving him off with a flick of my wrist. I look out the large window with my hang tucked deep inside my pockets, staring at nothing in particular. My mind was occupied with the thought of Rose. Trying her number for days and not getting her was really maddening. It wasn't a common thing for me, everybody I call pick at first ring but not her which is really attracting, well,minus the fact that she was my mate. She has gotten what she wanted, being away from me, from her real family, but not for long, she would soon run back when she sees that she can not handle it on her own. I decided going back to work but I still could not concentrate, thoughts of her continuously lingered in my h
HOMECOMING. The plane landed safely at the San Francisco airport, thankfully I wasn't jet lagged and I didn't get sick during the flight. The thought of having to put my head down a public toilet to vomit was more repulsive than the actual vomit to me. I watched all the passengers unbuckle their seat belts and began picking some of their things as they walked out. I wanted to go after they had left because I didn't want to get too close to any of them. Right now, I get easily put off by any smell, so walking and rubbing bodies with strangers who have different perfumes on wasn't going to be a good idea. That would be, different scents and probably even odor coming right at her. So she sat in her seat to avoid that. After the majority of the passengers had left she unbuckled her seat belt and began moving outside, after she had gotten her thing she headed for the main door of the airport. She saw different people, husbands, wives, Children, they were all waiting for their respec
BACK IN SAN FRANCISCO. The car pulled up at the front of the house, my home. I was so happy, I never knew I would feel this way by just looking at this house. I got out of the car carefully and the driver helped me get my things from the boot and carried them for me to the front of the house. I was really surprised to see that the gate was locked. Why would mom and dad lock the gate? They went out when they knew I was coming? Well, then again they probably went to the supermarket to get a few things. And they probably would not have expected us to have gotten here so fast. The road was really free, it wasn't as clustered as it usually used to be, thankfully. Well, lucky enough for me I remembered where they usually kept the spare key in this kind of situation. I bent down and stretched my hand through the gate and put my hand inside the giant ceramic pot. Lo and behold, I remembered right, the key was still kept there. I quickly pulled it out and began unlocking the door. I got
DOUBTING THOMAS. The next morning mom and dad went back to their usual routine and mom was still acting like she hadn't seen me in years pecking, kissing and hugging me at random times and moments. It wasn't like I was always here with them in this house. I guess it was just the thought of knowing that I wasn't actually her child. There are still questions that I would definitely need more specific and clear answers to. Like how exactly was I switched? If they knew who my real parents actually were and who I actually am. If they actually queried the hospital or was the switch intentional? Why would they even agree to willingly let go of their official right as my parents? Well, I'm an adult so I guess it's all left for me Why they haven't intended to bring Scarlett here with them. Or maybe they did try and she refused, I would not be surprised if that were to be the case. They were a lot of thoughts running through my mind but for now I was home, that was what really mattered
STORY TIME. “You are pregnant?” I heard Jane ask for the umpteenth time. “Yes I am” I answered, really frustrated. Why was she making me say it over and over again. I heard my phone vibrate so I went to it and picked it up. It was Roman. Don't people know when to give up? Those he thinks that because he sent me a limo at the airport that my heart would flutter or something. People just be cray cray. I tossed my phone on the bed and sighed. “Who was that?” Jane asked me. I noticed she was still standing on the same spot that she was when I came out of the bathroom. “Get seated would you?” I asked her. She remained standing there with her arms crossed over her chest. “It's the father of my child” I told her. Why was she asking me when none of my answers would be sensible to her. The truth was the truth and honestly I can't blame her for not believing. It's my life and yet even I am still in doubt. All these was just so unreal. But that doesn't mean I am fine with her making
INCIDENT.About two months had passed since I came back to San Francisco. I left mom and dad's house two weeks after I came back because I was not yet ready to tell them about anything.The whole drama I had to undergo just for Jane to think I wasn't going crazy was crazy. Even up till now she still looks at me in a particular way. But you know, what the heck? Being in San Francisco never gets olds, the past month has been a struggle. I've also been going to the hospital for frequent check ups.My stomach had begun protruding, the baby bump was a bit visible.Currently I was on my way to school, I didn't take a cab or the bus or the subway, because I didn't want to be too close to anybody and I really needed the exercise.Not that being around those kids wasn't enough exercise both physically and mentally. I walked on the pedestrian's side of the road, looking at the sights around me. I was quite early so I was sure that I was definitely not going to go late.I felt my phone vibrate i
AT THE HOSPITALMy cloth had been changed I wondered how. It had been about at least thirty minutes since I regained consciousness but nobody had come around.I thought nurses were supposed to have round, well don't know how that works.I kept laying there listening to the footsteps of people that passed by, for some reason the sound was very soothing and calming.How long have I been here? I wondered.I wondered if I should maybe call out, say something so that they could know I was awake.I just remained still on the bed my eyes not leaving the ceiling above me. I prayed earnestly that my child was safe.I had been so carefully with everything. What I ate, what I drank, where I went, what I did, the way I slept even what I said.So why? Why in the world was this happening? Where the hell were this doctors? I had had enough. I decided to go to them if they would not come to me. I felt a bit of pain when I moved but after a while the pain settled.I looked at the needle rooted deeply
HEARING THE NEWS.“Good morning, sir” I heard one of my men say. He was one of the few I had set aside to keep a keen watch on Rose.I came down from the stairs slowly and majestically, like a leader and king that I am. He was here so early, we had no business other than matters concerning Rose, what could have happened that he needed to tell me? San Francisco was about three hours ahead of us, so she should be in school now.I was a bit bothered that I couldn't show though as the head of the lycans I needed to show my people strength and courage notwithstanding. He bowed when I had finally gotten down from the stairs.“What is it?” I asked him, motioning him to raise his head and speak as I waited impatiently for his answer.He raised his head but still kept his eyes to the ground.“It's about your mate sir, she was rushed to the hospital.” I heard him say.I winced at his words, narrowing my eyes, surely I must have heard wrong. From the last report I had heard of her, and all the
