Chapter 27.
Vicky hasn't said much concerning the two of us, but she gives off hints of where she might be at, with me catching her glancing our way and giving off a smile, making me a bit at ease with she being happy for me.
The thing with knowing her so much, I've learnt to see beyond that smile of hers, that's why I didn't miss the concern in her eyes, the same concern that I sometimes have and not only about Connor but my mom.
The same mother who had visited me a few times but even then, I never told her about Connor, I don't know. For some reason I feel l

NOW YOU SEE ME. Chapter 28.
A good morning, that's what it should be and it is, with the sun getting its heat on so early in the morning and of course the fresh air from the window, except for me feeling regret about last night's argument.Gazing out the window and just getting lost in thought about nothing, a sigh escapes me at the realization that maybe I should just make the first move and go and apologize, because truthfully I miss him already.There's a knock on the door, surely interrupting my thoughts. " Come in." I say without looking behind me.Must be Vicky with my gummie bears or one of the guardians.Thoughts of who's here go out the window when I feel arms wrap around my waist slowly. My body tenses up for a moment, and that's when he almost moves back and lets go of me, but I pull his arms back around me and lean back against his chest."Baby girl I'm sorry." He says close to my ear, show
NOW YOU SEE ME. Chapter 29.
Rocking back and forth in the dark and trying to mental talk myself to calm down, seems to only make matters worse. Tears have already made themselves known, panic threatens to surface because of the memories that are flooding back and I can feel myself being drawn back to that dark time.Suddenly a knock sounds and I flinch a bit before taking a breath." Bailey, please open up."Oh Lord Connor....." Please go away." I whisper out, though I know he can't hear me, I say the words anyway." Baby girl I'm not leaving from here until I know you're okay!" He lightly demands and if I wasn't feeling this way, I would have laughed.I don't say anything." Bea, please - please let me in!" He says in defeat, causing my heart to beat twice as hard.Swallowing hard, I stand up and head over to the door.Opening it slowly, I ma

Like I've said before that moments come and moments go, moments that would have all been forgotten in the next couple of days or moments, one never dares to forget. Right now I'm in that place where all I can do is smile as my moments are feeling after, the night I let Connor in.Lighter, that's how I feel.A long way I have come and a long way I still have to go, but right now I'm still surviving, wait no, starting to live again.A couple of days have passed and now I'm into the new week, nothing has come forth about whether I'm leaving this place or not and now, I'm perfectly certain that I can't leave.I can't leave now when things seem to fall into place and I'm enjoying my time with Connor, even though we may be in here and it's not on the outside, at least I get to spend most of my everyday with him.Running through the halls, I rush over to Doctor Anthons office, hoping I don'

5 minutes, that's how long the silence has been for between us. Both Connor and I are seated on the floor in my room, with our backs leaned against the wall, both in thought of our current situation in which neither one of us knows how to approach." So...." I start to say." So....." Seems like he can't find the right words too."This it, then?" He looks at me in question." What?"Avoiding his eyes and staring ahead, I respond. " It's over..." I trail off.He shakes his head. " No it's not, I'm not leaving."" No you are. You will go out there and enjoy the rest of your Summer."" You can't tell me what to do, and besides, I've already made up my mind."" Well I can. As a person who cares about you, I have the right to kick you out of here and make sure that you don't ever come back here again, only for visits of course."He doesn't say anything and I crawl to kneel in front o
NOW YOU SEE ME. Chapter 32.
Today is the day, it's time to say goodbye.I don't think I can, but I know I'll have to. It's hard enough accepting that he's leaving, but to actually watch him do it, is another story. That's why we are both in my room, sitting cross legged and playing with each others hands." I think I'll buy myself a dictionary," he says." Thought dictionaries were too nerdy for you."" Well yeah but at least it'll remind me of you."" You make it sound like I'm already gone." I say.He chuckles. " Way to ruin the moment." He jokes and I offer a small smile with a shrug." You know this isn't goodbye right?" He mentions.I tilt my head to the side, avoiding his eyes. When I look at him again, I see a frown form on his forehead but before I can say anything, my eyes catch Vicky standing at the doorway.Our eyes connect and she n
NOW YOU SEE ME. Chapter 33.
It's almost been a week since his departure and I still miss him, but I'm not down or feeling disconnected with things, on the contrary, I'm much better. I'm actually smiling and talking more, evaluating myself and having a sense of positivity reign in me.To move on and keep this contentment in my life to continue, I know that I'll have to face other matters, which I might have avoided not so long ago, but now I won't, I have to let some things go.These are things from my past and the issues with my mom, and of course Luke, though they may have haunted me on some nights, it's important for me to not let them win." I thought you might run away from me again." Luke says." Maybe I should have."" Bailey - " I cut him off." But I won't. " I sit down and lean forward on the table." How are you ?"" I'll be fine and you?"

" You miss him, don't you?" Fiona asks , standing in front of me with Candy by her side.I don't say anything, but just look at them. They silently join me on the grass, where I've been sitting and quietly reading a book. The silence proves to be too much for Candy, I can already sense her about to speak, she talks, a lot. " We've been watching you and how - "" Now I feel stalked." I comment." No we don't mean it like that, just that - you smiled more when he was around." She trails off when I look at her.We remain in silence now, neither one of us having enough courage to say any more. Taking in a breath , I finally speak up. " Yes I do miss him and a part of me wishes he could have stayed."They both give me swooning , girly looks, making me feel weird now. " But I don't have no regrets about him being out of here, he'll get back to his life now."" And what about you?" Fiona asks." What about me?" I frow
NOW YOU SEE ME. Chapter 35.
Miami.Everything here is so big and alive.I can feel the fresh air for the first real time, both excitement and fear reigns in me of what to expect, I can only hope and accept whatever it is I receive, once I get there.The sight of the sea gives me a sense of adventure, a feel of freedom and just room for a long take of breath. The buildings, people and the beautiful moments that people share here. I just love how everyone might seem to be minding their own business yet the way they are doing it , shows how free and alive they are, that's what I want, to feel this sense of no care for the world but enjoy every moment like it's my last.It's so amazing how I've always wanted this, to travel and to have a sense of control over my life yet do something crazy at the same time. It's so surreal how a moment like this can be so precious yet so scary at the same time, truly nothing is impossible when you
