CHAPTER 54

My mum was the best mum in the world.

When I came home I complained to her about the pounding in my head but I lied that my head ached because a customer  decided to argue with me all through the morning.

I just hoped that she would not hear the rumors about me walking home with Scar.

She asked why I was home early and

I made an excuse about my boss asking me to leave because he wanted to go to a very important wedding. She believed me.

She felt pity for me and gave me drugs to take. Then she begged me to try to sleep immediately so I could wake up feeling better tomorrow.

The drugs did help relieve me of my headache but it didn't help me with sleep.

I decided to read a book all morning and in the afternoon I went to get my brothers from School.

Their school was just a few streets from mine so I came back in thirty minutes holding both of them.

Luckily for me, today I didn't have to look for them, they had been waiting for me.

I noticed that Scar was no where to be seen when I came back and at first I felt relieved that he wasn't stalking me then I started to feel a bit worried.

I cast thoughts of him aside not wanting to dwell much on it. Even If he had saved me he was still nothing to me and I didn't want to start feeling attached to him.

Yet, I couldn't help the lingering feeling in my heart to want to see him.

I ended up deciding that the feeling was because I wanted to make sure that Ken hadn't hurt him even though in my hearts of heart I knew better.

"Mira what is for Lunch?" Daniel asked as he dropped his school bag on the chair pulling me out of my thoughts. I had zoned out on them and we were now in the parlor and I did not even know.

"Check the dining." I told him. "Take of your school uniform and wash your hands before you eat." I instructed.

Daniel nodded immediately doing as I said. He was clad now in only a small boxers.

David threw his school bag on the floor and was about to put on the TV when I screamed.

"DAVID! Go and pull your clothes, take your bath, eat and do your assignment before you put on that TV!" I walked over to the TV and put it off through the socket

David started grumbling throwing a fit while Daniel focused on eating the meal of rice and plantain.

"I'm not doing anything!" David murmured sinking into one of the sofas in the room.

"Before I close my eyes and open it you had better go and take your bath or you will see the other side of me! Am I your mate?!" I yelled taking a threatening stance in front of him.

I was so enraged.

He stood up and ran to the room stomping his feet on the ground then he begrudgingly took his clothes and went to bath.

"Daniel finish that food fast and go and bath."

He nodded not saying anything.

I sighed and walked into the room. David was still grumbling.

"You people will finish playing in school after sweating you will come back and not want to take your bath. What kind of dirtiness is that. If I hear your voice one more time in that bathroom you will not like me David!" I warned, raising my voice so that he could hear me over the running shower.

He immediately shut up.

I hissed and started arranging the room. Then I took out their dirty clothes to wash since I couldn't sleep.

I desperately needed a distraction from thinking about Ken and Scar.
