Mom sent University abroad and told me to come back in five years time with flying colours results. That was the last time I saw my mom. Five years l...ter I was turning 23 and returned home finally. Swore to myself that I shall give back to my mom the good life she had before because she had struggled five years to put me in University. There, I saw my mom once again waiting for me at the main door. I noticed she look some sort of messed up but I ignored it as maybe because I hadn’t seen her. “Oh my God!” exclaimed Melanie. “Bob will freak!” she said, referring to her husband.“Hey, what happens in Union Valley, stays in Union Valley,” laughed her sister Susan. This set off another round of laughter.“So, when do we leave? How do we get there?” asked Melanie. All eyes turned to Soupy.“I’ve got a limo coming to pick us up,” she answered.“A limo! That will cost a fortune!” exclaimed Cheryl.Soupy waved this off. “It’s free! I simply have to sleep with the driver.”Several jaws dropped at. Or death. So I searched for love, for my soul mate, trying to find the one girl who could take away my pain, for even when I was just a kid, my heart ached. My loneliness, depression, and anger poisoned me. Toss in hundreds of hours of forced psychiatrist sessions and prescription anti-depressants that didn’t do jack-shit, and my life lost its light.What I’m about to tell you is something that I have not told anyone. I was so desperate for relief that I even took a blade to my own flesh. It was. She weighed about 6 pounds, and he weighed only three. He died about 15 minutes after entering the world. Their mother had another, perfectly healthy, 8 pound boy almost 9 months to the day later by a different father, then passed away two years after that, leaving the two children to be raised by their maternal grandmother, their only known relative. Both men who had fathered them left the very same day they were told of the pregnancies. 16 years later, our story begins. Andrea had suffered.
