Unwanted Visitors

Be careful who you get involved with.

I woke up the next morning to Chikane’s soft touch, she must have woke up during the night and saw me on the couch. She reminds me of myself when I was younger, my parents weren’t the best of role models but I always had my puppy, Bella.

Chikane had her arms wrapped around me and was nuzzling my chest, I still wonder to this day how she managed to get into that position without waking me. I guess she liked me. “Chikane... Chikane!” I said he name quietly to wake her. I saw her slightly red eyes gaze up at me, “Yes, Brooklyn, is there something wrong?” I gave a light smile after she spoke.

“No, nothing is wrong; I just wanted to know when you came over to me”

“What time is it?”

“7:30am”

“Then it’s been about 3 hours, I couldn’t sleep in there and I heard you typing rather hard on miss. Amber’s keyboard so... I got worried...” She placed her head back on my chest, avoiding eye contact.

“Don’t worry about it... Just my brother being arrogant and inconsiderate again, he does it quite often, don’t worry about it...” I remembered what Dante told me last night... “I’ve told dad were you are living, he’ll be round that area tomorrow, be prepared, he’s angry with you for leaving and wants answers... like me” I felt a small tear falling from my eye, “L-Listen... Chikane, I’ll be getting a visitor coming round today, he’ll be in the area at least... I don’t want you following me, I don’t want any of you following me” She raised her head and saw the tear, her eyes widened slightly.

“B-But why? If it’s that dangerous then you should at least take mis--“

“No! Amber isn’t to know about it, she’s the one person I don’t ever want to be near my father anymore”

“Your father? So... you do have a parent.”

“As far as i’m concerned he’s not my father anymore... my father is the man who helped me all those years... that man is dead now...”

She tightened her grip around me.

“Brooklyn? Why? Why do you think of him in such a cold way?”

“Because he’s done nothing for me... he’s only caused me pain...”

I heard a loud band outside, I rushed to the window to see what all the racket outside was... to my amazement... it was him...

“Chikane, get back into the bedroom”

“Why?”

“JUST GO!” I stood up and pushed her off me, sliding my shoes on and running for the door.

“Don’t let anyone follow me, ok?”

She stood there confused, worried to say the least.

“Ok... but please... stay safe...”

“I will... don’t worry...”
