Chapter 34 – Alexa

Gabriel We sat at the living room. I couldn't stop watching Mr. Manovas and his daughter Alexa. Andreas Manovas came for discussing some things about our home. Mama had been pretty worried what that could be. Now she seemed relaxed. The adults spoke together about boring adult stuff. Alexa sat next to me. She seemed kinda …

Chapter 33 – Letters

Shai Sometimes I got the feeling I was using Robert too much. Especially after Gabriel had been away the other night. Robert had been just as scared as I had been but he was the one who needed to calm me. I wanted to be braver for him. He needed me just as much as …

Chapter 32 – What do you want?

Shai With a smile on my lips I was preparing pancakes for Gabriel. My thoughts still were on a different place. This night had been amazing. It had all started pretty harmless. Robert had come to my room cause he needed something from his bedroom. He had stayed for a while and we chatted. Out …

Chapter 31 – Return

Soweit ich wusste mussten es mehr als eine Person sein. Mama war noch in der Arbeit und würde erst spät am Abend …

Chapter 29 – Soft tunes

Chapter 28 -My poor boy

Shai Today was no good day. I had got a call from Gabriels school and had to speak with the director. My son had punched another boy! I still couldn't believe it. He had always been so sweet and there had nothing been like that before. But since George … since that night my son …

Chapter 27 – Back to School

Gabriel It got heavier and heavier to keep my eyes open. Slowly my head sank in my hand. “GABRIEL!” I shrieked up and looked at Felicia next to me. She had whispered in my ear to wake me up. One of her hands laid on mine. Immediately I took my hand away. “You didn’t sleep …

Chapter 26 – Shall we dance?

Lumen She was so soft and warm in my arms. Marlise had convinced me to dance with her. She had always known how she got from me what she wanted. We danced in the middle of the ballroom as if all the others would not exist. The room was decorated with golden curtains and mirrors …
