Alice's hands shook as she tried to unlock the door to her apartment, millions of thoughts kept running in and out of her mind as she tried to accept the fact that her brother will be living with her.
"What's the hold-up, Alice?" Andrew asked, drawing closer to her "need help?" he asked in what was meant to be a seductive voice, but only ended up disgusting Alice.
"I got this," she said in an audible whisper and pulled the door open, he smiled and spanked her butt as he walked in. Alice glared at his back when he walked in before she took a deep breath and walked in after him, closing the door behind her.
Andrew's eyes roamed around the room, and the look of disgust was clear on his face, "Is this where you live?" He asked in a condescending tone, and Alice fisted her hands in anger.
"This is what I could afford with the money you gave me" she managed to say in the calmest voice she could muster.
He looked around the room again and sighed, before p

Amanda stretched out her hands on the bed with a lazy smile on her face, hoping to touch Alan but instead, all she could feel was the coldness of the bed. She ran her hands on the bed again to be sure, and when all she could feel was the coldness of the bed, she snapped her eyes open and sat up on the bed. She looked around the room for any trace of him, but the room just stared back blankly at her, "was last night a dream?" She mumbled to herself, rubbing away the sleepiness from her eyes. "Could it be he's downstairs?" She asked as the morning of the day he brought them back ran through her mind, sighing, she decided to go check for herself and stepped out of the bed. Halfway down the stairs, she began hearing murmurings and clashing of utensils and a smile graced her face, she increased her pace and took the stairs two at a time. "Good morning!" She yelled loudly with a smile etched on her face as she entered the kitchen, a fully dressed Jonathan a

Amanda sat on the floor shaking slightly and breathing heavily, it's been over 30 minutes since Andrew left her office but she still hasn't gotten over the fact that he was here, right before her. The memories she buried all came back alive in her head and were tormenting her mentally.She leaned her head against the door frame and took two deep breaths, trying to keep the tears that welled up in her eyes again from falling and to calm her shaky body, she was still in that position with her eyes closed, when her phone began ringing, it made her jolt up from that position in shock.Heaving a sigh of relief when she realized it was just her phone, she opened her bag and brought it out, she tried to smile when she saw the caller but her face felt too stiff to move. She sighed once again, and cleared her throat to reduce the hoarseness and crack from crying, "Hello" she said as she picked up the call"Hey princess! What are you up to?" Alan's voice asked cheerfully

She asked hurriedly, tears streaming down her face.A while ago after they got the news from her brother, they were in a state of confusion and hurt as they didn't know which hospital they were admitted into. They spent over an hour driving around the hospitals in the city till the paparazzi got the news and shared the hospital, and they immediately drove over there."Ma'am please hold on" the receptionist replied calmly to Amanda. She started going through the computer before she turned to Amanda and shook her head. "Sorry ma'am, but their names aren't here" she muttered, feeling bad for her.Amanda looked at her alarmed and shook her head rapidly, "check again, please. Alan Weasley and Jonathan West, a man in his middle twenties and a child of 7! Please check again" She pleaded, looking from the woman to the computer with her eyes wide open.

Amanda slid down the wall with her head cradled to her hand until she felt the coldness of the floor against her butt. She stayed like that for a while before she started chuckling, everyone in the hospital room turned to her in surprise.Another chuckle escaped her lips then another before it slowly turned into a sob. Malia immediately rushed to her and hugged her, but that did nothing to comfort her. She felt her world crashing down before her as cried on Malia's shoulders "why? Why?! Just why!?" She yelled amidst her sobs, and Malia just tightened her grip on her.Alan stared at her with pity in his eyes, he just couldn't seem to recall anything about her. His mind felt oddly blank when it comes to her, the nurse looked at the scenario and mouthed "I'll go get the doctor" to Alan before she quietly excused herself from the room.Malia and Amanda still sat on the floor in each other's arms when Amanda suddenly broke out of Malia's arms and rushed to Alan's bed

Andrew stood beside Amanda, and they both stared wordlessly at the park that was filled with mostly children and their parents. They both have been standing there for over 5 minutes now, and Andrew's patience was growing thin "I do not have the time, nor patience to just stand here with you and look at annoying children all day. So tell me why you called me here or I'll be on my way" Andrew said, turning his gaze to Amanda."Do you remember the one time we went to an amusement park, back home in Nigeria?" She asked after a brief moment of silence passed, without removing her gaze from the children, and Andrew just raised an eyebrow in surprise at her question.He was expecting anything but that kind of question "I didn't know you brought me here to reminisce on our childhood" he said in a bored tone, his gaze fixed on her"Do you or do you not remember?" Amanda asked sharply, turning to him for a brief second with a brazen look in her eyes before turning away.

Amanda pushed her door open and exhaled loudly at the bone-chilling silence, she looked around the room with sadness as she remembered what it felt like to have Jonathan around. He would probably be playing games now or watching his favorite anime till she drags him up to bed. A little laugh escaped her lips when she remembered the one time she dragged him up to the bed, only to find him downstairs a few minutes later; watching SpongeBob. A loud sigh left her lips at the memories and she shook her head sadly and walked upstairs. She planned on heading straight to her room and packing all that she needs but instead, she found herself in Jonathan's room. "Why are you acting like he is dead? He is alive and he will soon come home, snap out of it!" She scolded herself and immediately dashed out of his room, and walked over to her's. Without wasting much time, she packed up a few clothes and her laptop for work, before she quietly left her room. She looked at the house on

Alan was chatting and laughing happily with the squad; Adilah, Malia, and Mark, when the door crept open to reveal Amanda, who suddenly felt awkward when all eyes turned to her. She smiled awkwardly at them before moving further into the room, "Hi guys, just got off work and decided to come visit him" she explained in a calm voice and everyone including Alan, smiled at her. "You know you don't have to explain yourself, right? You can come visit him anytime you want" Adilah said as she stood up from the chair. "Hi" Alan greeted her in a calm voice and she turned to him in surprise. He laid in the bed with a warm smile on his face as he looked at her. She returned the smile and mouthed "Hi" back to him before she walked over to him and sat down on the chair Adilah stood up from "How are you doing?" "I feel better, thank you" Alan replied and started staring at her intensely, his brow furrowed and his face scrunched up as he stared at her. Amanda

"Do you remember how the accident happened?" Amanda asked and Alan's eyes widened. He immediately let go of her hand in his and stared blankly at her, but Amanda could see the wheels turning in his head, "I.. I.. "he stuttered out before he swallowed nervously "it hurts" he suddenly blurted out after a few moments of silence passed, making Amanda sit up in worry. "What's wrong?" She clasped her hands in his as she asked worriedly. "My head, it hurts" he repeated and she could see the tears welling up in his eyes "I.." he started but she immediately shushed him "Shh... it's okay" she said and pulled him into her arms "I'm sorry for asking that. It's okay, you don't have to force yourself to Remember it" she mumbled into his ears, softly patting his back.
