Familiar Strangers
Chapter 27
As I was seated in the living room, Shyla walked up to me " hey Ari" she sat next to me, " how are you feeling today?" She asked " I'm much better Shyla" you people are treating me like a pregnant woman" I said frustratedly. Shyla laughed so hard..... I was saying my mind and there she was laughing I threw a pillow at her. " it's not funny" I said.
She stopped laughing and became serious, " but what really happened Ari?" She asked as she moved closer to me. I exhaled "I don't know" I replied sincerely she held my hands and asked " does your mom know about the past incident?" I shook my head " I don't know either"." Ari" look at " are you really sure you want to remember?" She asked. I closed my eyes
" No I don't want to, it's so painful" I said as I tried to control tears from falling from my eyes.
I don't think I can handle it. Whatever happened should stay in the past. I opened my eyes to see my mom standing by the corner, apparently she had been listening to our conversation....she was battling with the tears threatening to fall from her eyes. Now I'm sure my mom is aware of what happened, but I'm scared to ask her, I don't think I'm ready to know. whatever happened affected me greatly that's all I know.
Finally my holiday came to an end, first thing on Monday morning a vehicle came to pick from Shyla's place to Drey's mansion... I waved at my mom and Shyla as I got into the car.
