CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

Present time

A week had passed since I found Leon’s picture, since then I have gathered as much information as the internet could give me. I did not know whether to be surprised or not that once he escaped, Leon went back home and was welcomed back with open hands and love that I almost threw up.

But somewhere, deep inside me, I was happy that he finally saw his family especially his brother, Lucas. Another part of me, the bigger part, felt so much betrayal and anger because he did not take me with them, instead he decided to leave me. He left me.

My eyes slowly blinked at the chirping of birds as the darkened skies started to brighten “The sun is rising” I mumbled tiredly, I inhaled deeply closing my eyes and opened them to look at the screen once more and then at the messy papers I poorly wrote on.
