But grace what about your aunty hope she doesn't treat you bad because if she does you know me now I will just visit you and wait for her to come back and give her the warning of her life and maybe even beat her as a warning. Peace the trouble maker you and fight if I wanted to lie to you then I will support this your statement but no my aunt is nothing like that she is like a blessing she provides for me and make sure i am even comfortable I really appreciate all she does seriously no one have ever been that kind to me if I was to pay her back with my life then it worth it. Wow grace indeed she is treating you nicely if it was some aunties there will beat up their niece and even chase them out of the house and also treat them like house help in the house.

Grace did you heard what happen to Mary mum I pity for the little girl anytime I remember that I fell like crying because the girl was so innocent to get such treatment. Peace what happen now I remember I stopped seeing her in school after our jss one second term. Grace you won't believe this Mary was raped by her step dad and during the process where she was struggling her self out of the step dad arms she fainted and the step dad run away and her mum took her to the hospital she has been in between life and death since then she died last week and the step dad wasn't found the police are even tired of the search. How can the police be tired of the search you see my problem with this country peace someone was murdered and rape and all there could do was double the case like it wasn't important I really pity for Mary may her soul rest in peace. Grace you could have studied law see the way you wanted to slap me like I was the police.
What if my mum has gotten married somewhere else and started a new life just like Mary's mum did? Grace your imaginations are becoming more funny than your jokes what kind of taught is that please stop it is not like your aunty treats you bad here just be patient you mum will definitely come back maybe she is not yet stable and believe you are safe. OK peace i trust your words but seriously Mary justice need to be given to her, because her killer is out there hiding and leaving the life he scratch from her. Grace grace justice for Mary, justice for Mary, justice for Mary. I keep asking my self how we became friend you are never serious just look at what you are doing. Less i forget what about the mother what is she saying about her daughter killer. Grace I think I should take to the Mary's house so the mother can give u answers to what you are asking because I don't know what the mother should be doing apart from crying. Peace can we go to Mary's house before going to yours? OK no problem let go and you know we need to hurry up this one everywhere is getting dark maybe it rain or night is on it was so let hurry.
