Two weeks laterArriving at home, I see Rogue's car parked in the parking lot. I glance down at my wristwatch which reads 5:30 p.m. and I know he's already home maybe even earlier than he normally used to, but that is a good thing.Things have been very awkward between us and I believe I played an equal part in it.I did take Kemi's advise and be a lover and a wife and a fighter beside Rogue, but it been two weeks and I don't know how effective that has been.I make my way into the house which is awfully quiet and that is unusual because there is always something going on and I decided to ignore that and make my way upstairs. As I get up the stairs, I head straight for Rayge's room to check up on him, but when I get there, I don't find him in his cradle. I panic the first few seconds that pass then I come to the awareness that Rogue is home and probably with him and I waste no

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths."~Elisabeth Kübler-RossFlashbackThree months after meeting Lucas.The door opened and Lucas and I stepped into the hotel room, the trial just ended and I was found not guilty by the judge on the count of first-degree murder of my foster mother Audrey and after the verdict was made, Lucas offered to take me in as my guardian and when the court saw I didn't object they let me go with him.

I don't want to be here anymore!" I cried out as Lorenzo got up from beside my bed to put on his clothes. My whole body was dead from what he just did to me and I could barely even move it. I was numb and aching and I could only speak and that was what I did. Tears rolled down my face and go into my ears."I told you before, your mommy left you and she's not coming back because she doesn't want you, no one wants you. Are you happy hearing that?"
