The loud ring of my alarm snaps my eyes open to see that it is six a.m. already and lazily reaching over to the alarm. Ten more minutes, I tell myself before covering my head with the pillow.A loud bang comes to my door and I immediately open up my eyes."Alex, are you sleeping?""I'm up!" I announce sharply before pulling myself to sit down and I'll be lying if I said it was so easy. "What do you want?" I ask. "Havana said she is yet to see you." He answers and I turn to the alarm clock on the lampstand and I see its thirty minutes past seven.Shit! I'm too late!What was I thinking?! Trying to get an extra ten minutes of sleep has never gone down well for anyone!"Tell her I'll be right there," I say, dragging my slightly heavy self up from the bed."Alright." Comes his sceptic reply after a moment of silence.I strip mysel

"I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday."~Nicholas SparkI see Bola standing outside his ward but his eyes intensely fixed on the inside of his ward."Hello," I speak up once I get to him, causing him to get distracted and turn to me.He smiles and hugs me warmly, "Alex, hey," he says before pulling away, "you weren't at home were you?"I shake my head, "Today is Zander's wedding." "Oh, I'm sorry for pulling you out."I shake my head, dismissing his apology, "Don't be." I look into the ward that seems to be a little occupied with doctors. "What's happening in there," I ask curiously."The doctors came in a few minutes ago and they are running a few physical tests on him, my father is with them a

"It is not "forgive and forget" as if nothing wrong had ever happened, but "forgive and go forward," building on the mistakes of the past and the energy generated by reconciliation to create a new future."~Alan PatonTwo weeks later.Today is the last day of trial and I am present, sitting directly behind Maggie's seat watching her deliver her closing argument.Lare called me while I was about to enter the court in the morning and informed me that Rogue was getting discharged later today, after two weeks of being at the hospital and I told him I had a trial to complete and assured him I'll come to see Rogue at home as soon as we were done.I try to keep my focus on Maggie and put every other thing happen around me aside in the meantime. Alvin's lawyer had made an argument earlier citing how life imprisonment was unfair considering Alvin h

PLEASE NOTE: Although they are not in 2009, Rogue will keep referring to the things that happened that year as if they happened last week because of his memory loss. I don't want anyone getting confused."Never think that what you have to offer is insignificant. There will always be someone out there who needs what you have to give."~UnknownMy eyes are still close when and I notice someone towering in front of me, my eyes open immediately and I see Rogue wide awake on his wheelchair in front of me. I begin to pull myself up, wondering how long I've been asleep and how long he's been looking at me like that.Rogue on the other hand is in brand new clothes, a white polo and black shorts he has a black flip flop on his feet resting on the foothold of the wheelchair. His hair is having

"I wanted, desperately, not to disappoint her."~Vanessa DiffenbaughI turn to see Rogue enjoying his small meal with delight and I walk back to him, "We need to go home now, it's almost time for your meds and Lare's will be on my ass if I don't return you."He chuckles lightly, "Lare is a pain on everyone ass, but he's a great friend," he admits himself leaving me surprised that he would."Yes, he is," I walk towards his wheelchair and behind to roll it out. "He just being a good friend though."He nods, "Wait, I've got it," he exclaims, wanting to control the wheelchair all by himself."Not today, captain, not today."Just like I'd hoped, there is little to no traffic on the road and we make our way back to the house."Move in with me, Alex," Rogue speaks up as he drags himself into his wheelchair from the car."I don't believe that's what you want," I point out to him
