Before going to bed, I took my diary and wrote down a quote from Lise Kiberwa's poetry collection called "Wind", Completely for no reason at all!:
>>Like the wind, I don't want to belong anywhere.
Just like the wind, I want to be felt but not seen. Like the wind, I want to both strengthen and extinguish the wildfire.
Like the wind, I want to stress some poor old lady gently sweeping her compound by bringing all the dirt she's been removing.
Although I want to be like the wind, my vulnerable heart needs a home.<<
That night, we chatted about that day and how her adopted parents are my real parents. she was totally stunned but I can tell that she already knew about it.
On the one hand, I was so happy Because I met my Real parents. On the other hand, I was sad because my parents who raised me for 23 years, and my sisters I loved so much, were not my real siblings.
She comforted me and told me that I'll get used to it eventually. She asked me what was next, and I told her that my father Jackson wanted me to join them and live with them from Wednesday. I asked her what she thought about it, and she told me that it's okay, though I knew she didn't mean it.
"So we're going to live together," she said, teasing but I understood exactly what she meant. I told her that I was going to live there from Wednesday through Sunday, and after University I'll rent an apartment somewhere else because a 23years old guy is old enough to take care of himself. She seemed to agree and she told me that it was a good idea.
Wednesday, Taylor came to help me pack my belongings. I told her that I was going to leave My PlayStation to Cory and she agreed.
My actual mother came to pick me and she helped me load my stuff into her pickup.
Then After, we shared lunch with both Robinsons, Taylor, and Mummy Representing The Jacksons family.
We said goodbyes and mummy thanked the Robinsons so much for their Kindness.
For that time it wasn't too teary like last Sunday though.
Robinsons one after another, hugged me everyone except Britney, whispering unique words in my ears:
My adopted Mummy told me that I was still her first and only son, that she'll always love me.
My Adopted Daddy told me that he was proud of me.
Cory said that she loves me so much, that I'll always be her brother, and thanked me for the PlayStation.
Britney only cried. I kissed her on the forehead and I held her in my chest till she calmed down.
Then We took a Robinsons-Jacksons photo and then we left.
Mummy didn't know that I had a driving license but I asked her if I could drive and she accepted. It was a few minutes drive so We arrived around 3 PM.
The gatekeeper opened the gates and I parked in the garage. In a blink of an eye, I was the only one left in the car! So I opened the doors and stepped out to unload my belongings.
I was busy locking the door when I felt buckets full of water being poured to me!
Everyone was laughing and cheering as Daddy and T chased me in the backyard throwing Flour and water on me singing "Welcome home Davis"
Suddenly I tripped and fell into the swimming pool and Daddy jumped into the water too!
Taylor had started to record the whole thing while mummy and Dinah were cheering and clapping.
In the water, we splashed water at each other. Normally Daddy looked very serious but I never knew that he could be that playful and funny.
The water was not that cold tho, that's when I felt my phone in my pockets! "oh no, my phone is wet!" I shouted, throwing it out to Taylor.
"Oh c'mon it was too old, right? Tomorrow we'll get you a new one" he said, pulling me out of the water. We were still laughing.
Inside the house, mummy and their housekeeper unloaded my stuff and arranged my room. They showed me my room and the first thing I did was hit the bathroom to take a shower.
Afterward, I dressed up and went to the living room. after long conversations, I asked my parents what they think about me dating Taylor. Dad told me that as long as she's not Dinah they were okay with that, which made everyone crack a smile.
After dinner, We had an overnight talk until it was 01 AM. That's when everyone went to bed.
In the morning, I woke up feeling so happy and stable, that's when I found a credit card with a password And a note saying that they went to the hospital to work, written on a leaf of the sticky note. On the back of that paper, read "Take care of your sister and your Girlfriend! XO Daddy. I realized that I overslept when I read on the clock hanging in my room, it was around 9 AM
I dressed up and went to the bathroom, then after I ate my breakfast which was prepared by Taylor. My parents had a pickup and an SUV so they went to work in the SUV.
On the fridge, there was a paper saying "Car key on my couch. That pickup has insufficient juice and doesn't exceed 0.5k bucks! Love Mummy"
We watched the movie with Taylor and Dinah, then in the afternoon we went to buy the phone.
I informed the housekeeper and gatekeeper that we were going out to the store, and I drove them to the phone store.
On the road, we talked and laughed and then I played a CD with songs. There was my favorite song so I sang along. Both Taylor and Dinah had no idea that I can sing so they were shocked! Taylor pulled out her phone and started to record me.
At the store, I bought a new phone and earphones then I paid 260 dollars.
On our way home, we passed the toy shop and Dinah asked me to buy a unicorn. Since I had spent only 300 dollars, we stopped and bought it.
The next Friday, I watched over my sister and Taylor while my parents went to work. I also changed my names across all my social media platforms, from Dave Robinson to Davis Depp Jackson. My parents would come back in the evening, and we would watch animated movies together. Me, Dinah and mummy, we like animated movies, but Taylor and Daddy don’t. They just like hanging out with the family during movie time. Saturday, my parents invited all the family to my welcoming party, majority of them who didn’t even know me. I met my cousins, my uncles and my aunts; they told me that I had no Grandparents because they had died many years ago.
She drove me to the metropolis and after saying goodbyes she headed back home and I proceeded to the agency responsible for trainees. Because I was the top in my class, I became so popular on the board that I started to make money by working along with actual engineers. Operating engines, repairing hibernation pods, repairing and designing 3D printers, and all sorts of mechanical and technological development were my specialty, plus I had knowledge about programming and geography so I wasn’t treated like a trainee but a normal scientist. ASB had a mission to go to space on ISS in the next two months, so they thought that it would be a good idea if they added a program of
After not being able to identify what’s wrong with pumps physically, we ran the full diagnosis of the captain’s deck to see whether it was system glitches. Everything seemed normal, but the progress was stuck on 87%. That's when I told Tom that we can copy the system data to my drive to study them later. In the process, we managed to pass all restrictions by using a Magnetic fields generating device to override the systems because the normal procedures required Admin’s Authority, and it was against laws to have a copy of the project like that on your computer. &nbs
Aboard the STEED 7, we were 25 crew and a Robot. Everyone, including me, had piloting skills just in case. Well, I have to admit that my skills were more Virtual Reality based. In real life, I never sat in a pilot's cabin flying a ship, but theoretically, I was a co-pilot. Machines double-checked the ship for every single criterion and they allowed us to board the spaceship. After wearing space suits and strap in, the Automated voice came from the cockpit saying that we had 10 seconds counting down. All others except the pilot and his co-pilot were sitting in the main fuselage, with our seat belts on chatting. "Initiating detaching procedures" that
All 23 crew members were murdered or transformed into beasts. There was only the Robot left so I tried to drive it so fast but because it would raise the dirt, attracting attention to it, I activated the vacuum shield over it and flew it back to the STEED 7.It was a frightening experience to lose 23 members at the same time in front of your eyes, the captain and I were crying, not knowing what was next. We opened the door to the garage and let the Robot in.Those creatures saw the lights on our ship and rushed toward us. The captain quickly turned on the Vacuum shield over the ship and everything became invisible to the creatures. After few seconds he received orders of aborting the mission and heading back to the ISS.He launched the ship off the planet and he set course back home. I went to check the samples brought by the Robot, but I didn't touch anything, neither was I in the same room with the Robot.Just used grass room
*Taylor’s POV* After my beloved Davis got selected in the group of people to go to the ISS, I knew right then that everything was going to be not good at all. I had many questions inside my mind: What if their take-off failed? What if they got lost in space? What if their spaceship failed or malfunctioned mid-air? What if they made it and he met another girl up there? But in the meantime I snapped out of those thoughts, I hugged him, said goodbye, and watched him go. That was the most painful thing that ever happened to me. Not that all sideways possibilities were about to happen, but because he was all I ha
*Taylors’ POV* I already packed up my small bag by the time I left his office! I headed to the port and took a boat back to the town. Then I found him waiting for me on the other side of the port. I ran toward him and hugged him while kissing him all over his face. Nobody said a word but just hugged. After a long hug, he finally said “hi” and instead of answering him, I just cried to his shoulder. He took my hand and opened the car’s door for me and we entered to drive home. On the way home, he told me about how he was, about his experience in the cosmos and ab
*Taylor's POV* First thing they did was to show us the facility. They explained that after the attacks; they built another advanced lab, which was indestructible! Then everyone put on their safety gear and then we headed to the laboratory. Looking from the outside, it was a farm with various animals like cows, sheep, goats, lemurs and other herbivores. Inside the fenced vicinity, there was a small old house that was built there. There was a soldier in it. By approaching it and entering the old house, we found out that the house was built over the entrance to the underground entire city! Well, City is way too exaggerated, but it was so big inside. There was a high-tech laboratory, gadgets and everythi
