Chapter 18 - Played by two

A whole week of disappointment gone,a week I wished I was dead,a week lots of things happened,lots of truth reveal and lots of secrets hidden. Each week seems to bring different drama that drags me into it. Each day that passes feels like hell. Sometimes I wonder what's the point of hiding secrets when it will one day be reveal and those affected are those who keep the secret.

Apart from having a disappointed week,I was trapped inside this house. The only place I was allowed to go to was the room they kept me. The rest of the rooms in this building seems to have secret password that only the mask man and his men knew of. This was an evidence that they were hiding something that they don't want me to know,I know they knew the problem and the solution to that problem but they were keeping it waiting for what? Till when it will destroy me? What ever they were hiding I'm sure it's the answer and solution to all my problems, its a secret that exposes why I was the target of all this and no one else.

Since my childhood ,I have lots of male friends than females that's while I was filled with male around me and it doesn't bother me at all. Whatever they were hiding they think is dangerous for me and they don't want me to find out. Pacing around my room is what I do always but I know there wasn't enough time to sit around , whatever is happening now is bigger than what happened years back.

 I was standing face to face with the mysterious painting on the wall that has I and drake face standing close to a train. That train that took away so many lives. Drake looked so young in the picture,I can imagine his beautiful smile as he held my hands. Those memories, I wished they weren't in the past. I remember when he told me about his feelings,how I ran out to the restroom to cry out my eyes and that's when I met that lady that I promised. I've always wished his life as a sicklar never exist but I can't blame his parents for their mistakes instead I thank them for bringing a good friend into this world.

 Sometimes I try to understand the difference between love and lust,I've always felt it was him,I feel happy and free when I was with Drake,I never noticed i was in love with him till he died.

There's an adage that says"you won't know how important someone is until they are gone". I just realized that when Drake was gone.

The mask man was right about Alison,I fell for looks not for character like Drake. One thing I'm certain about,I and drake pushed ourselves away from each other. He was afraid of loving me so he won't hurt me and I was afraid to love him to avoid getting hurt.

 I heard the front door of the house cracked open,it could only be the mask man and his men or otherwise because only them knows the password to everything.

Talking about the mask man,I don't know why he stays in that masks all day,if he wasn't someone I know of,he shouldn't be afraid to reveal him self to me. I don't know what's his afraid of. I could not hear any footsteps but when I turned back,I jumped afraid seeing the mask man standing in Front of me.

How did he get there so fast without me knowing?

I took a step back afraid of him bringing out a knife or gun.

"What the hell?

"I decided to surprise you "

"Surprise? I muttered. When does he plays this kind of game

"You should have just called me than to stand all this time and watch me. By the way where have you been, you kept me locked up in this house?

" So that you won't run away 

Is this guy for real or he's just trying to step on my toes this afternoon?

I followed him to the kitchen. He kept his gun on the table beside him and poured himself some orange juice.

"Sit Sarah we have some unfinished business

I sat down looking at him aweful. What Business do we have again after he said he doesn't want to tell me the rest of the truth?

"Sarah?........

I turned back to see who was calling and there stand a man on mask. I was so confused,the men wore the same mask,cloth everything. They both open the door with password but now the problem was one of this men is the mask man and the other is a villan which I can't identify now.
