Amelia’s POV

Waking up to the smell of pancakes in the morning at home seemed alright but this wasn’t my home and the Cawthorns weren’t the type to love pancakes.

I stood up from the bed, taking the drapes to a side, searching for Julian, my eyes couldn’t catch sight of him.

“Where’d he go so early?” I muttered, looking at the wall clock.

“Class doesn’t start till 10am, it’s only 6:00” I added, slipping my hands into my pajamas pockets. I walked to the door, still wondering where he could be, suddenly locking eyes with Festus who stood at the hallway.

“Good morning” I said to him still peeking from the door.

“Uh..morning” he answered casually, his eyes as though averting my gaze.

“So..uh..what are you looking for?” He asked, his hands in his pockets as he walked closer to the door.

    As I found myself seated at the passenger seat of the cab, I stared at my phone, it was 7:30 already, I folded my arms, looking out the window.‘Why am I getting so fussy about this matter?’ I thought to myself, not watching the driver who sat in silence driving calmly.I could feel the summer breeze on my skin from the window, I let my worries go as I peered to see the driver taking a turn, a turn I didn’t understand.“Uhmm.. mister, this isn’t the road to Kilam hospital” I said, putting my hand on the seat, indicating I wasn’t buying the idea of following an unknown route.“Ma’am, this is a shortcut to the hospital” he said, his voice, low and firm, the type who you wouldn’t suspect, I knew never to trust such a voice.“I want to stop” I said firmly, my palms getting sweaty.“It’s a shortcut ma’am” he protested, his hands steady on the wheel.“Pull over.. now!” I screamed, my voice getting louder‘Maybe I should’ve left Julian drive me’ I thought to myself as my fear began to rise,
