" I wish so much that you wouldn't leave."Andra said. I was ready to leave. I could not respond because there was a knock on the door. She got the door immediately, Damien and Liam had come to say their goodbyes.
"Hey guys!"Andra shreikec as they walked in. She looked more excited than sad that I wondered if she really was going to miss us. Or maybe, she's just too happy to show her real feelings
"You've come to say your goodbyes huh?"I said
"If that's what you've come over here to say then you should leave right away!"Andra said. Everyone was awed. She noticed the tensed atmosphere and continued. "Sorry, I just don't wanna be pitied, okay?
"Well, we're not saying any goodbyes."Liam said, winked at Damien and I
"Whatever. Awwwwnn...I'll miss you guys."She hugged me Damien first
"Thank you. You do not know what you did to my dreams Damien."She whispered in his ears. Damien hugged her back. Then, she hugged Liam. It was a sweet sight. I guess

Anabelle!That name...It'd be a disaster if it's my mum's name.This letter says so.I've seen that name appear once in one of my dad's chatrooms. I didn't have so much time to read through the chat but I knew the Annabelle in question was causing some trouble. Could it be?I shook the thought out of my head. Mum's dead. Period.A phone's beep got me out of my trance. Then I saw a smartphone on my bed. At first I was shocked, I've never had one. Then I guessed it had dropped from my luggage. I held it in my shaky hands. So strange. It had my picture on it. A WeChat message from Damien. What?!I could not breathe. He bought me a phone? Trouble! What if?!"Hey Paige. "He had sent.I didn't know what to think. Why did he get a phone?!On the other hand, my little subconscious blushed hard. He got it right. The pouch had a plain color, my new favorite color, purple. I remember I told him once that I loved

"Hey."Damien said as he joined my taboe at the cafeteria. From what I heard, our team had the highest score. I wasn't there. I was late to school. I had argument with Jude that morning and that was a huge turn off for me. I just wanted to be alone, throughout the day."Hey."I adjusted my glasses an fixed my gaze back on the good I wasn't eating."We made it. Why were you so late today? You should have been there.""Hm. Something came up."I tried not to sound as cold as I felt."Okay."He began to eat and I could not help but watch him. There's this hope I get when I look at his face, his words rings in my head, tels me I'm not worthless, that I am enough. I just could not take my face off him, like he was my source of life."Paige? Are you okay?""Of course I am.""You don't look like you are. You've been cold all morning, even now."I winced. "Shouldn't you be at the class teacher's office, collating results?""I've done

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." ✝ Psalms 23:4I wouldn't think of anything else. "The shadow of death." Was Anabelle in the shadow of death too or is she really dead. I was home alone again and I have a lot to clarify. First, I needed to get to my dad's chatroom again. I had seen it by chance the other day and I knew surely that Jude's laptops would be locked with a code. I was desperate. Who wouldn't be? I thought of asking my robot, I knew he'd report to Jude when he comes back, he's been programmed to be a parrot.I knew it was going to be very difficult because I haven't hacked before. Then I remembered I had a smartphone, thanks to Damien. I hurriedly retrieved it from the drawer I had hidden it. It had dozens of messages from Damien. Poor guy, he really cares and it's overwhelming. I still ask myself, even till now if I deserved it. I se

I had my journal in my hand, somehow I felt a new need to hold on to it everywhere I went. I was with Damien, though I was bruised all over, it was easy to hide the pain. Besides, I was used to being flogged.We were talking about something that made me laugh so hard. It was actually a comedy skit we watched. I almost lost balance, my journal scattered on the ground. I was embarrassed, more embarrassed because the name "Annabelle Steele" was written boldly on its front page."Thank you."I said to Damien, who gentlemanly helped me pack it up. I didn't have to bend, I wasn't in popsocks and I was pretty self popsicks. I can't explain why."Annabelle Steele?"He questioned.I was actually surprised, then I remembered who my mum was."I thought I was the only old school guy."He gushed. "Oh my God, you like her too. I have a book! I love her work."My mum has a book?! Wow!"Old school? It's not old school at all.""It is. In someway. She probably wrote that book when I was a toddler, or yet

My life was normal after that day. I just lived with the fact that my mum was still alive and safe. She might not be well, but I believed we were going to meet someday. I can't find her now, I don't have to try because I'll only get hurt if I do.Studying with Damien was everything I had imagined and more. I wouldn't say I grabbed all that he taught me, but he was the best teacher anyone could have. We were always together and I did my best to hide the dark part of me from him. I study the bible once in a while. He reminds me to do that every day. That helped me a lot. I found a God, a bigger God, and I was ready to stick to him till the end, if not for anything but the fact that Damien cherishes him just as much. My dad's molestations were already a part of my life, so it didn't bother me too much. I wrote more songs with Damien. We made few records. Three days before our final exams, school closed very early and we were asked to vacate the school. Neither my dad nor his driver was a

I wasn't only flogged, I'd say tortured. He also checked if I'd been touched by another man except him. That horrid act, the root cause of all my bleedings. He also restricted my movement for a week, so I didn't have to go to school. I was locked up in my room. I had time to read my mum's book. She really was original. I couldn't help but compare myself with her. She acknowledged her toddler in the acknowledgement session, it was me. I have no memory left of it. The book only gave me a sense of her. I wasn't bothered about myself. I just feared for Damien. Andra asked me to protect him. I failed. My dad now knows about him and who knows? He'll be watching Damien's every move by now.I had the phone with me but I could not reply to Damien's messages, for some reason I just wanted to forget about him. Or I wanted him to forget about me. I avoided my window too, because I knew he'd be there. Damien didn't stop there, he visited my house again. Unfortunately, Jude's security men didn't l

" You really are a good actor Paige."I could not believe my ears and eyes. Damien took out his phone and played the videos of his assault to me. I could not help but scream. He held me and dragged me to one of the rooms in the sick bay. He locked the door so no one would interrupt us and even shut the windows. I was in tears as I watched him. "I'm sorry Paige," he said. "I know everything now. I know how much you'd like to hide this. How much you've lied to me? I know." I tried to speak. "Damien. How did you get that?" "Does that matter now? Huh?" He joined me on the couch and wiped my teara with his palm. I covered my face in shame of him. "You weren't going to tell anyone, were you? Yet you were dying inside. That monster!..." "Damien!"I shrieked. "Please... The walls have ears. I'd die." He swallowed. He was pained, that feeling of responsibility. "Fine!"He gasped. " How long has this been going on?" "Ten years. Precisely, since I was six." "What?!" he exclaimed. I cried an

"I'm traveling to Africa today. I'll spend three days there. I'm going with my driver. You can locate the house now , can't you?" Jude Kam announced that morning when he dropped me at school."You know you don't have to worry about exams. I'll clear that off. So you can stay home tomorrow, till I'm back."I was quiet."You also have the chance to go out with your boyfriend. But trust me, I won't get your whore ass out of any trouble.""He's not my boyfriend!"I slammed the door of his car and walked into the school.I was desperately searching for Damien in the crowd of students in the exam hall. I found him in his usual position and sighed. The exam that day wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Though I'd studied them with Damien before, I just could not concentrate on it. I literally submitted a blank paper. I wasn't bothered though. I had a lot on my mind and all I did was watch him scribble away on his paper. I could not wait for the end of exams that day.*"How was the exam?" D
