Chapter 13
10 months later…
I heard beeping sounds and people talking, I slowly opened my eyes and beside me was Charlotte who seemed to be very excited to see me opening my eyes, she rushed to the door.
“Nurse!” she yelled and yelled.
I tried getting up, my body was sour and I couldn’t lift myself up, the nurse got into the ward and made me settle on the bed.
“Relax” the nurse said to me.
I looked around and turns out that I was in the hospital and this one wasn’t a dream, it actually felt like I just woke up from one weird dream in the morning. I glanced at Charlotte. My body was so sour and I had a slight headache, the nurse gave a glass of water but noticing that I was struggling a little bit, she helped me to drink that water.
“How long have I been here?” I asked Charlotte.
“10 months, I’ve got great news for” Charlotte said.
The nurse fixed my pillow.

I Forgot Myself Chapter 14
The following morning…‘I survived the first gun shot and then these guys came out looking to finish up what they started and I miraculously escaped. I really have to be one lucky bustard’ I thought to myself.As I was in deep thought, there was a knock on the door.“Come in” I said.Christine walked into the room.“Hey, how you feeling?” she asked as she closed the door behind her.“I’m better” I said as I sat up on the bed.“Okay, I’ll be out for a few hours and uhm I will send my neighbor’s son to come check up on you” she said.The fact that she was living the house and they previous day we were dodging bullets didn’t sit well with me, I felt like she was putting life in danger since everybody who got involved with me had possibilities of catching a bullet or two and this time I had to be concerned.“Are you sure that you

1 month later…Christine treated me so good, mainly similar to how Charlotte treated me when she found me at her door step, Christine’s humanity was way out of this world. Johnny and Sophie kept me company all the time Christine left the house, we became close to the point where they were more than just friends to me but family. It felt like I ended up with Christine for a reason or a specific purpose. Since Johnny and Sophie couldn’t go to school because of the so-called tax, I decided to home school them. Johnny was more interested in computers so I borrowed Christine’s computer then downloaded coding tutorials and coding apps for him. Sophie was a different one, the different kind of a girl who loved competitive sport, I looked for a local football club online and applied for her.The application was successful but first Sophie had to undergo trials before she could officially be part of the team. So, the day came when we had to accompany he

The next morning…Still worried about what happened the previous night and what was it that the counselor held this neighborhood by, I woke up early in the morning fixing the broken window. Christine came looking for me.“Oh, I checked in your room and you weren’t there” she said.“How did you sleep?” I asked.“With one eye open” she sighed.I understood what she meant by that; I also didn’t sleep because of the counselor’s guys. I kept on feeling like they were going to come back again. Deep down I still felt that I needed to do something about this counselor and I had to come up with a solution that was going to make him back off.“Can I make you tea?” she asked.“please” I replied.She went back to the house as I followed her.“Hey so what are you doing today?” Christine asked.“I promised to assist Johnny wit

In the morning, I woke up to a knock on the door.“Come in” I said.Christine opened the door as she entered the room.“Morning” I greeted her.“Morning, uhm can you please take Sophie to her practice? I know I promised to take her but I’m not feeling well, take my car” she pleaded with me.I remembered that before I got shot, I was actually learning how to drive but I wasn’t sure if I was perfect yet. I thought to myself ‘why not try it?’“Yeah, I will take her there. What time?” I replied.“Around 10 AM” she said.“Okay cool” I said.“Thank you very much” she replied.“Anything for you” I replied.Christine left my room as I sat on the bed trying to figure out what to do with the email that I came across the previous night. I knew that taking the information to the police or any kind of

Christine and I were still sitting in the sitting room, with me waiting for her response. It was very much clear that whatever the counselor did to her had a severe impact on her. We never had a deep conversation about this counselor and what he actually did to her in the past and this time I had to ask. I gave Christine a concerned stare.“Look, I don’t want you to agree helping me out because I forced you” I cleared my throat “can you please decide? I will respect whatever decision you take” I said.“The truth is I hate that man and he had put my family through hell, since I was a kid, he has been terrorizing this community especially my family” a tear fell from one eye “this man killed my parents and nothing was done about it. So, if this is how justice is to come and if this is how I get to avenge my parents, then I’m in” Christine wiped her tears with the palm of her hand.I nodded “Okay then

“Do you understand me?” I asked Sarah.She nodded without saying a word back, I took out a burner phone and handed it to her.“This is a burner phone, immediately when you leave here you will go straight to the counselor’s office and you will give me a call. After planting everything I gave you in his office, you’re going to throw it away then that’s the end of me and you” I instructed her.“It that all?” Sarah asked.“Yeah, that’s all” I replied.Sarah got off the sofa and gave me a very cold stare as she silently walked away and slammed the door on her way out. I felt bad for what I was doing to her that moment but that was the only way I could access the counselor’s office so I had to make her agree. I sat down immediately Sarah left the room.“I didn’t know you could be such a bad ass sometimes” Christine said.“Only when I have t

The next morning…I woke up to Christine’s sounds in the kitchen and I decided to wake up and greet her. I walked out of my room, knowing that the awkwardness was not yet over I went all the way to the kitchen where she was preparing breakfast for Sophie so that she could eat before going to her soccer practice. I walked into the kitchen and Christine was right there waiting for the water to boil, she gave me a shy look.“Morning” I greeted her as I grabbed a cup.“Morning” she replied.“Can you please make me some?” I pleaded with her.“Okay” she replied as she took the cup from me.“Look…” I couldn’t finish the sentence as I was interrupted by the door.Sophie and Johnny who seemed to be in a very good mood walked into the house without knocking, seeing Sophie smiling and laughing, Christine and I glanced at each other wondering why she was this ex

“I’m here” the counselor said.“Okay in 15 minutes there will be a train coming that side, I want you to get on it and get off at the next station” I replied.“Okay” he replied.The counselor must’ve been very pissed by the fact that I was doing all these things to him and there was nothing he could do. I kind of enjoyed ordering him around and the power I had over him felt so good. I glanced at Christine who was quietly seating next to me, she seemed like she was in deep thought or maybe hoping that the counselor got what he deserved.“Okay, I’m here” the counselor said.“You should learn how to follow rules, next time if you come with these puppies of yours, I’m going to take all your dirty laundry and give it to the public” I said.“Look for him, he must be somewhere around here” he yelled at his bodyguards.It appeared that my instincts
