"Speak." I tell him once the engine comes to life."My mom has been having these episodes, one minute she is okay, the next when she sees any woman or girl she turns into something else like she has seen a monster." Andre replies."Oh," Is all i can say as I finally understand why she was hostile towards me. I am glad there's no bad blood between us, and pray for her recovery."The doctor said she will be okay."

I say."I'm sorry about that."The rest of the journey we talk and I don't tell him about my abduction or the fact that Quinn knows. Men are so oblivious, he doesn't even notice the bruises the make up failed to hide.We find a crowd at the school's parking lot. As we drive by I notice Quinn's Lamborghini. It is in a bad shape, on the ground there are broken glasses and other parts of the car. Andre finds an empty spot where he parks. Students

It is tough as most require experience which I lack. Also I desperately need an income to find my own apartment. Nimo, Oliver's girlfriend will return tomorrow and I don't need to be a third wheel in their apartment. And all of this is Quinn's fault that I'm homeless.Oliver's steps are silent I don't realize he has walked until I spot his shadow in front of me with a suit case and box. I recognize them. They are mine.He hangs his bag and his keys. He's always been more organized than me. There's nothing out of place or clothes lying around."How is the job search?" He asks."Frustrating. With the experience and age limit they put, it is like one should have started working in their mothers' womb." I breath."I'm sure you will find something.""Where did you get my stuff from?" I ask standing up.He wipes his face, "The

I turn to find my sister, Meg together with my cousin, Leo. I groan. Ryan had convinced me that i wouldn't run into someone i know at this club."I had to find out from the papers that my brother was back. Where have you been hiding for those months?"
