Chapter nine

Two months later.

My birthday, is in a week time. Ken still doesn't talk to me. He still avoids me even when I try talking to him.But do I ever give up? I doubt even when he screams at me, I still act like it doesn't affect me but it really hurts.

Mum entered my room, without knocking. "Laurie baby."

"Hi mum.how may I help you?"

"I've got something important to tell you, because I know Ken's  not gonna tell you."

I sat up, picking interest in the discussion as Ken was involved. "What do you wanna talk about Mum?"

"Ken will be leaving for America, in a week's, which happens to be on your birthday."

No, that can't be!!... "For how long is he staying over there?" I asked

"I'm afraid I don't know, but he'll be there for as long as possible.Maybe forever, but he promised to come visit when he gets a chance."

I just sat there, shocked not knowing what to say or do. Why do people just come into my life, make me love them and leave? My parents first, now Ken too.

"Laura, I know you like Ken, and I know how you feel. Ken sees you a a baby sister he never had, so I know he feels sad too. Why don't you go talk to him, maybe he could change his mind?" Mum told me.

"Alright, I'll go talk to him, then I'll see you when I get back." Mum left. I wore my slippers, and went towards Ken's room. I knocked thrice, and still no reply to the door, so I opened and stepped in. Ken wasn't there. A book was on the side drawer, I went to check it out, because I've never seen it since I started sleeping in Ken's room. Picking the book up, in bold Capital letters was written"MY MUSIC BOOK"then under it in very tiny letters, was written. "my feelings in a book"... what that mean anyways? I thought to myself.Only one way to find out, I was about opening the book, when Ken's voice startled me, making me drop the book.

"I asked you a question, what the hell  are you doing here?" Ken shouted at me. "I thought I made myself crystal clear, when I told you to stay away from me and what ever concerns me."

"I just came to talk, but you weren't in here and I didn't know you we're in the bathroom."

"So that gave you the right to touch my stuff? He said looking at the book now on the floor. Pick that up, and put it back where you got it from. If you don't have any other thing to say, leave and stop standing there staring at me like a lil pervert that you are."

How couldn't I stare, he looks so fine and fresh just in his boxers. now I'm really a pervert, I'm knowing too much for my age this days. All thanks to foul mouthed Sam.

"Hello? Ain't you gonna say why you're here?" Ken asked, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Actually, I heard your leaving for America."

"Yes, I am."

"Why are you leaving?"

"None of your business."

"Ok, but will you come back for me?"

"Will you always come visit me?"

"Get over yourself Child, you ain't that important just because Mum makes you feel like you are. So I'm not coming."

"You can't just leave me, you really can't!!"

"Of course I can, you are one of the reasons I'm even leaving. I'm sick sick sick, and when I'm not sick, I'm tired." "I am sick and tired of seeing your annoying face, and your attitude is so hateful. You really make me want to pull off all my hair, so yes, I'm leaving and I don't see an annoying little Mummy's girl stopping me from doing so."

I was weak, I couldn't move, couldn't speak. Ken said those hurtful words to me with so much hate in his eyes. I just ran out of the room, before he could see my tears.

    I didn't hold back this time, I cried. I cried for my parents, I cried for Ken..... I cried out all my pent up frustration. I just let it all out, I was tired of holding it all in just because I didn't want the people who care about me to be worried.

Its been two hours now, I was still on my room floor,. No more tears but  the pains in my heart hadn't reduced a bit. I've got to do something, Ken's not just gonna slip out of my hands like that, I'll do anything to trap him even if he ends up hating me but I just can't let go, my love will conquer his hate someday. I just believe.

I found mum at the backyard, she just sat there staring into space.

"Have you had a chat with Ken?" She asked without looking at me.

"Yes I have." She turned around now, looking at me with worry evident on her beautiful face.

"Have you been crying baby?" She asked opening her arms for me and I walked into her embrace, holding her tight not wanting to let go.

"Mum, why is Ken leaving?"

"His Dad needs him. He wants to hand over the company to Ken, so he has to leave. And his Dad has no other children besides Ken."

"Ok, may I ask a favor of you?"

"Anything for you my beloveth."

"I want to get married to Ken."

"What?" She asked, with shock registered on her face ok now I'm nervous. But I have to be brave, this is for  Ken.

"Mum, I said I want to marry Ken."

"Baby are you sure that's what you want?"

"Never been sure  about nothing than this. I may not know what love is, but I can't deny that what I feel for Ken ain't strong, please Mum consider my request."

Silence

"Alright, you'll marry Ken then. But that will be after you're done with your higher institution and woman enough. But for now, I'll get you both engaged."

Best news ever!!!!... "I love you Mummy, thank you so much, you are the best."

Now Ken, let's see how far you can run from me now...

So Laura ain't joking around here, she's gonno do anything to keep her babyyyyyy.... But what'd you guys think will be Ken's reaction?

Will he be happy that he finally has Laurie all to himself or will he be Mad at her??
