Weeks Later.
The door creaked open on Harmonica's entrance. She brought with her some goodies, packed in the nylon bag that had a supermarket tag on it.
The house looked dry, almost like no one even resided in it. Overall, it was still owned a neat environment. Barking sounds erupted from the depths of the house as Harmonica closed the door.
It was the stray dog she had encountered a week ago. She couldn't leave the stray dog behind and had to take him in as her own. Harmonica placed the bag of goodies on the counter in the kitchen.
Dressed in a blue skinny jeans coupled with a black jacket and a inner dark blue singlet. Her hair still remained blue as always. Obviously she wasn't coming back from work, she had just return from shopping.
She settled down in the living room with a loaf of bread and turned the TV on. The stray black dog ran to her with immense speed. Jumping on the couch, without wasting much time, it grabbed the loaf and ran of.
Harmonica chuckled and took out her phone and did the usual.
Later, she arrived in the kitchen and began staring up some food. It was getting darker by the day. Her ears blocked by the pulsing beats of the music that boomed through it.
The stray dog had laid near the kitchen counter, preparing to devour it night meal once Harmonica was done cooking.
Music in session: Lean On by Major Lazar and DJ Snake Ft MØ.
Harmonica served the dog it bowl of noodles laced with omelet. She had her own already on the table, awaiting her to come over and descend on it.
But, Harmonica took her time before she ate. She was busy going through her news feed on her phone. The food on the other hand would have gotten cold by the time she was ready to eat.
She walked around the house, still going through her news feed. Harmonica stood at the balcony, there the phantom wind of the darken night caressed her.
Harmonica heaved a sigh and placed her phone back in her pocket and headed back to the living room. Her face had no joy nor a glimpse of happiness.
What wrong with her?

HARMONICA'S POV
It been a week since I and Erica last spoke. She hadn't return my calls nor my messages.
She has bee ignoring me ever since we departed from the hospital that night. Sigh, I have approach her tons of her times and she keeps turning me down.
Perhaps, she's tired of me. Why am I surprised tho? i just never saw this coming and even if did what could be done.
Erica had always shown she had no time for me before now, but now; it something else. Jeffrey had manage to save her from getting arrested as her dad found out about what happened.
Erica's dad was hell bent on sending her to jail but I and Jeffrey didn't permit it. The commissioner himself of the police department didn't allow it, knowing too well about the cyber crime that was at hand.
Jerald had to stand down and give in to their words and took Erica back home with him.
Helene still hadn't be found, Jeffrey had to stare up a lie that she was out of town. Jerald foolishly believed but her mom Selene wasn't ready to believe until Jeffrey had to come up with a fake phone call to put her mind to rest.
Now... am still trying to wonder what wrong with Erica and why she's doing this to me. My heart is troubled and needs to be loved. Sigh, my love for women was a result of getting betrayed , deceived , lied to...
I just had to divert my sex drive, and focus on women. There I found Erica who had no interest in men either.
We felt shy to express our feelings but heaven knew we would end up doing it at some point.
Our first night after getting drunk at a party pulled the veil of our fear and brought us into the light.
I can still remember it like it was yesterday. It a memory to remember but now, here I am, at the point of getting heart broken.
I can't see any lady fit for me to share such feelings with. Erica is the only one or perhaps, was the only one.
I shook my head looking at the window, it was raining heavily outside, thunder roared in the sky while lightning crackled with fury across the darkened sky.
In front of me was the cold plate of noodles embroidered with my finely made omelet. Sigh, it was cold already and I already lost my appetite.
Before I went upstairs I poured the noodles inside brolly's bowl, the dog wriggled it tail on sighting me flourish it bowl with another round of noodles.
I returned the plate back to the kitchen and dived upstairs and prepared for a good night sleep.
My cloths were the first thing I took of, one by one I naked myself in front of the mirror and sort out my towel. I could feel m ɮʊttօċҡs aռɖ ʍʏ ɮʀɛast bounced up and down as I pace around the room.
I checked my Notification bar if there was anything new for me but no ...it was still the same. Nothing new, even my news feed had nothing interesting for me to douse myself in.
The bed grumbled as I collapsed on it in my blue night gown. And there followed the crackling sound of lightning and the deafening sound of thunder.
It kept raining for hours and hours... I couldn't sleep, my eyes were still fresh open and staring into the ceilings. The air conditioning vent poured it cold molecules all over the room.
I was too lazy to get up and turn it of, covered myself in blue blanket. Ignoring the cold forces that engulfed my room. Slowly slipping away into the darkness of the room where my fantasy ignites the flames of my past memories with Erica.
