CHAPTER ONEDYLANIt was yet another Monday morning, Monday mornings were the worst ever to me , well to any other person it was normal to hate Mondays, because it comes with hangovers and every other sort of lazinessI dragged myself out of my bed and headed for the shower. I had a few minutes before going to the shop.I used to work as a waiter in a certain coffee shop just a few kilometers from my house.I lazily got to the shower and proceeded with my morning routine A few minutes later I was on my way to the shop.I need bothered to take breakfast because they usually offered us free breakfast at the shop.I had my classes fixed so I only had afternoon classes and would go to the shop in the morning hours.At school I didn't get a chance to make friends considering the fact that I was from a very humble background, most of the guys in my School were from a rich background so they usually walked in pairs.

CHAPTER TWOI rushed in my house to pick some clothes before I went to see my mom at the hospital. I was already at the hospital in two hours time; it was on Thursday so I didn't mind missing the Friday class. I walked into the hospital and was directed to my mom's ward.My mom was a diabetic patient, with high blood pressure and had a brain cancer undergoing chemo therapies but she had stopped some few weeks earlierMy sisters never knew about my mom's condition only mom and I. About my dad's whereabouts no one never knew, even my mom too. I only remember the few times my dad spent with us; it was something I never thought would come to end. Before he left, he was very abusive, he used to beat up my Mom like every time he would come home late at night reeking of alcohol, at one time he never came home and that was the last never heard from him or about his presence, my two younger sisters kept asking about him but seems they got tired asking about

CHAPTER THREEMy mom's death was not only a big blow to me but my sisters too, they cried all the way back home, we didn't have a choice left with us. I had to act strong for both Melissa and Alicia they weren't supposed to see me crying it would have broken them.As we went home there was only one thing ringing in my head, the letter my mom told me about, I was wondering what was in the letter and at the same time my head was pounding, what was I going to do with both Melissa and Alicia, they were supposed to go to school, food clothing, basic needs and my school fees too. I was in my fourth year and I only had one semester before I was done with my degree, I was taking literature, my passion for books was just something else, I hoped I found someone to take care of my kid sisters so I would just finish my exams and come to stay with them at home that was my prayer before we arrived at home.It was almost in the night when we got home, I prepare something for u

CHAPTER FOURI rummaged through my mom's room and found the key to her safe, I slowly opened it and I car face to face with a dark brown envelope, I presumed it was the one containing the letter my mom told me about.It was sealed so I took a pair of scissors from her night stand and cut the top part of it.There was a letter nicely folded into another envelope. My hands were already shaking and I was super tensed, I mean, I was not sure what was in the letter and I was only hoping it wasn't something bad.As I opened the letter, my hands were literally shaking and sweating, it was a long well written letter from my mom.I chose to sit on the couch where I'd comfortably read it from, I made sure the door was locked from the inside.DEAR SON,Hello my dear son? I know by the time you'll be reading this will be long gone, long gone to the land of the dead, but before anything else I want to you know that I love you from the bottom of my heart, you

CHAPTER FIVE“Man, that is fucked up, I mean all this while I have known your dad as your dad but seems like he was only staying with you guys because of your mom, no wonder he left, I am so sorry man” Dan said as we sat in the living room, my aunt had not arrived yet and we were sort of still waiting for her to com so we would know the way forward, I dint have any cash with me, not any sort of money that could help me with my mom’s burial, so we sort of had to wait for her, it was a few minutes past ten and I was sure she was going to arrive sooner“I know man, I just don’t know to do with my two little sisters, they are the only family left and I am not old enough to take good care of them, I mean I don’t have a stable to provide for them, they are way too younger, I just don’t know and now the only job that I had, that stupid boss just fired me and it is not like it was my fault, I just missed going to job today and he fucki

CHAPTER SIX“Look Dylan! Aunty Sue is here, she brought us cakes and chocolates! Melissa shouted from the doorway with a bag full of chocolates, I stood up from the couch and walked to the door, true to her words, aunty Sue was in her car, she was still inside so I walked past Melissa all the way to the drive way Aunty, you came? I said as I walked to her car and she smiled Yes of course Dylan, dont be stupid, here come help me carry this she said and I walked to where she was, when I saw her, my mind traveled towards my late mom, Aunty Sue was a replica of my mom, everything in her reminded me of my mom and I found myself hugging her Oh my God Dylan, I am so sorry for your loss, Kayla was my elder sister and I loved her so much, I was saddened by the news and honestly speaking I dont know why she would stop going for chemo therapies, I was always ready to help her but she was stone she wouldnt listen to me and now she is gone, too early for yo

CHAPTER SEVEN“Hello girls? So I was thinking about something good actually it is something great I know you will like it” I said to my two sisters who were now seated in their respective beds, it was just a few hours after mom’s burial, aunty had left immediately to go book our flights to England, I didn’t know what to tell my sisters at the moment but there I was gathering enough courage to break the news to them, I did not want to tell them about the letter until the time was right, I just wanted to help them pack a few of their belongings because we were to leave early the following day, Dan had just left for his house and had promised to come back and spent the night with us“Hello Dylan? You look distracted, is something wrong? And where is Aunty Sue?” Melissa asked and I inhaled sharply, you know Melissa was a thirteen year old girl but she was very mature, she could sense when something was wrong and she would tell me bluntly,

CHAPTER EIGHT“Are you guys ready for the long flight?” Aunty Sue asked that night as we were seated in the living room, we were just chilling in the house, Alicia was playing with Gwynn, Dan’s kid sister on the couch with their toys, and I was on my phone lost in my own world “Yes Aunty and by the way are there kids of my age at your place, you know I am going to leave Gwynn here or can I travel with her now that she is the only friend I have here?” Alicia asked and I smiled, Aunty Sue’s mouth curved into a smile, Alicia was always social, she would fit anywhere, she was not a choosy kid and that is what I always loved about her, always social and welcoming “Not really sweetheart, Gwynn will have to remain here so you will always be coming to visit her here when schools break” Aunty said with a smile plastered on her face and Alicia just looked at her “But I w

CHAPTER NINE“Where have you been all these years? Are you not even ashamed of yourself why are you now showing p here now after mom’s death, you didn’t even show up in her burial, what makes you think that we are happy to see you huh?” I asked him and he just looked at me like I was some statue “Oh my God look at how you have grown into such a fine boy, you can even stand up for yourself, and the guts just like your mom’s the only difference is that she was a coward and didn’t know how to take care of herself and even her kids, she was a bitch who deserved to rot in hell I am glad she died by the way and I am not even remorseful for what I did, I am in fact glad I did, you remind me of her promiscuity, she lied to me all those dam years and I am not just going to stand here and watch you disrespect me” he said and I just chuckled, I might have been afraid of him when I was young but at that moment, I was re

CHAPTER TEN“Aunty you want to mean that mean that dad doesn’t own that house? I mean I thought he owned it’ I asked immediately the car drove off from the compound, on last look at our used to be old house and I wiped the lone tear that was threatening to fall from my eyes, I knew I was going to miss that place to doubt, I had grown to love that place and got used to Chicago as my birth place and my home, all my friends, the college friends and all my childhood friends that I was going to leave behind, I didn’t know if I would come back to check on them, or maybe say hi to them, especially Dan and by the way I wasn’t surprised when Ivanna didn’t show up in mom’s burial, I knew she was just pretending to care when deep down she was just trying to laugh at me, I don’t even know why I was falling for her, such a wicked soul, my mom was right about her, she was just someone to pretend she likes you or cares about you until she gets
