chapter 6-i will save us

Steve was just an old man, probably in his fifties.He was bright in colour,chubby with a big tummy but very neat.steve was short and quite stylish for his age,most of his peers did not care about looking good all they wanted was to be comfortable in their clothes but Steve was not in to it,to him everyday was a fashion show,he was always ready to show off,he had a different walk for each dress code.He loved looking different from everyone else.

Steve loved to wear golf t-shirts with dickeys trousers.He wore pointed shoes which seemed funny for the toddlers 'penguin'they joked,but Steve never cared about their opinion to him they were just babies having fun.most of his clothes were matching,he would wear a different watch for each day,after all he was quite monied.steve enjoyed the attention he would normally get.

Steve was a business man,he had kombis which helped in transporting the people of our community to and from town.people loved him alot to them he was a life saver,they could never see any fault in him.'who our Steve,never!'they would say.

Steve had helped the community alot by bringing transportion to the community since there was none before.people would walk long distance before they could gain access to a vehicle which made some lazy to even go to town.those that had to buy alot from town would normally hire a car to transport them back home which was very expensive hence some people ended up deciding on a special date and they would all go together and divide the fee.

Most were discussing of electing him as MP for the community on the next elections.They were convinced Steve would make wonders for all of us.Steve was considered smart,wise,humble and kind.He never missed an opportunity to help where he could which is why most looked up to him.

Unlike my father Steve had boys which were very tall and that made him a real man to them.Most women were obsessed with his family, everyone was beautiful together with his wife who wore the latest brands.Her heels always had to be higher than anyone else's,her jewellery brighter than the chandelier, everyone knew they couldn't stand a chance .she was a slay queen indeed.

My mom and Steve's wife were very close,I guess it's because Steve spent alot of time with my dad of which my mom and Steve's wife used to be there too.Both couples knew each other from a young age,before having kids or any money.We were all convinced that was the only reason they could be friends.my mother and Steve wife were the complete opposite of each other.my mother was more traditional and reserved whilst Steve wife was in to any thing that came her way.Its was off for everyone to see both together since they were the complete opposite of each other.

Steve became more successful because he used to gamble alot of which my father was not a fan.He had won a million in one of the known jackpots which is how he managed to buy kombies and build his home.our father was smart and took things step by step,he went to university and landed his first and only job.he had been working for the television company his whole life.They both had different jobs and desires but that never changed their relationship,they were very close.my father considered him more of a brother compared to his real brothers .

Schools opened and its was the final term for the year.things became a bit rocky as usual since we were not able to sell,there were no more events.I would normally be stressed about this and I would tell Steve whenever I would see him.

Steve offered to help yet again but this time around he had a condition.He requested that I don't tell my mother that he was helping out since he doesn't want her to feel sad especially since she was frequently getting sick.we agreed that I would lie to my family and say that I have sold the clothes and just simple hide them.

I agreed to everything Steve was suggesting to me because I felt responsible for my family,I felt like I don't want to disappoint my mother since she had already said I'll be her breakthrough,I did not want to see her sad and ashamed anymore.

I loved it when I would see us all happy and stress free especially now since it was the last term for the year.I did not want our academics to be affected in anyway besides it's not like 'I'm doing something bad'i would say to myself.

I trusted Steve alot because father trusted him too hence I trust his judgement.At that moment steve was a lifesaver,he was a superhero.

whenever my mother would go to night services at her church she would normally go with my second sister and Mr Steve's wife since they were from the same church.me and my younger sister would be left alone at night.

Sometimes we would hear footsteps, sometimes sounds and that kept us up all night.we would be tossing and turning,covering our selves with the blankets and holding on very tight.This left us sleepy and tired the next morning.

It's was scary for us which is why I would normally tell Steve just so that he could help should he hear something since I doubt my father's family would help,if it's wasn't them who were making this sounds .Steve gave me one of his phone to use ,he said I could call him whenever there was any emergency.as it's became worse he suggested that he would come over and protect us from whatever that could be threatening us.
