CHAPTER 40

The night of October 2nd changed everything in my life. It was the first domino that fell and I should've known that it was just the beginning and many more were going to follow.

A week later and here I am still in my bedroom, the image of his dead body stuck in my head. I have replayed my entire life up until that dark night again and again the entire week. I barely ate, barely drank and I barely got any sleep. It was impossible to close my eyes and not have Gorilla flash before them.

The day we first met, the day he taught me how to play soccer, the day he kept my name Little nix and then the day he left me forever.

No.

The day he was taken away, snatched away from me forever.

"You're so cute when you're angry you know? Like a little chilli pepper. Small but very dangerous." He laughed out loud as he said that.

"Hey!!!! I'm not a little chilli pepper okay?" I protested with my hands on my hips giving him what I thought was a stern look.
