“What are you doing?” Anna asked Joshua, who was following her.“I just want to talk to you.”“I don’t want to talk to anyone. Especially not you.”“Why? Are you that angry?”“You’re making me crazy. I don’t want that.”“I just want to explain.”Anna stopped and faced him. Her face was turning red from anger.“Explain? After all, that’s happened? How dare you? Do you think your explanation would change what’s already happened? After how I’ve felt, do you think I would believe you?”“I just want you to know why I left.

He realized more people are willing to stay beside him, even in his darkest times. It’s a good thing he has Lance
December 2002.It is the time for presents - Christmas Eve. I am in Paris with family and friends. The kitchen’s buzzing with people, cooking. The family room is decorated with brightly colored lights. The gifts were over flowing under the lit Christmas tree. My favorite part of the house during Christmas time is the dining room where we sit down beside each other and enjoy the food with high spirits.
It is ten o’clock in the morning. Anna is just staring at her room’s white ceiling – thinking about many things, when her mobile phone rang. She did not feel like moving, but she has to take the call. She knows how it feels when someone does not answer the call."Who could this be?" She said under her breath."Badtrip!
