Chapter 9

Tobi: I will take you home. It's too dark for you to walk around in the dark.

I nodded in agreement.

After a few blocks of walking the rain started slowly too and then faster, we ran quickly to take shelter but there were no nearby shelters, so we stopped in front of an umbrella near a food cart. We were soaked to the bone.

“Toby” took out his phone and started to type:

-Do you want to come to my place? It's behind the tree next to us.

I was surprised he would ask this, but I nodded yes.

Then he took off his jacket and placed it over my head, and we started running toward this apartment.

And he was right. His apartment was only two minutes away from where we were standing. When we got to his apartment. The door, I mean. We were under shelter, so he removed the jacket from above us. And shake it. Many water droplets from the jacket fell to the floor. After a few moments of folding his jacket and trying to find the keys in his jeans, he finally found his keys. He had a run. He had one keychain with it. A. Tag that said his name and I think the other said his address on the back, but I am not sure. And there were only two keys, one looked like a house key and the other one looked like a mail key. As he was putting the key into the doorknob, he turned his face to me and smiled at me. Then the door unlocked. And. He welcomed me to his house. Then he showed me where the bathroom was, to dry and take a shower if I wanted to. I didn't want to. Make a mess. And he also gave me his. He told me he was. Doubt me. And. I saw him getting his iPod as he ran in front of him at a table and he wrote to shower then he will leave me some clothes. So that's what I did. I want to shower. He showed me what the shower room is. I went to shower, took a nice, warm shower and as I was getting out of the bath, I saw that he had already put dry clothes for me to wear and an extra towel for my hair. I smiled at that. After drying my hair, I left the towel on my shoulders and started to look for Tobi. The bathroom he let me use was right next to his living room, and kitchen. I went to the kitchen, well you might ask me how I knew, I knew because there was a sign pointing to the kitchen, the sign was so cute. Sorry for getting sidetracked.

Coming back to now, sitting in my bedroom and Alex.

-Emily: I am sorry but how is this guy Tobi relevant to what happened to you? Did you fall for him? You know what I don't need to know, 'cause I know Tobi.

I said that in an angry yet sad expression.

-Alex: what do you mean you know Tobi? Where have you met him? Do he and you live in different worlds?

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

-Emily: I will tell you in short… The whole car garage works, for me now. I have been working for me, for the past few years. After you disappeared I hired them to look for you. And when I found out where you were, a war was put on my gang and then I was kidnaped for a half year. It was awful. But I survived it, and came back to Thailand, where your boy Tobi, was waiting for me he helped me re-build the shop again and that happened after you disappeared.

I said that with tears in my eyes.

Alex looked at me pitifully.

-Emily: don’t look at me like that! I want to know where you were, and who you are. Because you aint Alex. So who the HELL are you?

I stood up and said it in an angered voice.

“Alex” laughed, then stood up from the chair.

-Alex: well, well. How did you know I am not your bother huh? How did you figure it out?

The easy he said it was like he was rewarding me for figuring him out. Like he was so happy, I could see it on his face, and then I got a sudden flashback, a man appeared a man who looked like this man in my room. And I muttered Derrick.

-Derrick: yes, love.

He said that in a cool raspy voice while smiling at me.

Derrick also started to slowly take off his “mask” of my brother. He took off the blonde wig, and black-brown hair arose from the wig, it was short yet long, and then I saw his face. He had nice dark brown eyes and a beard.

I was stunned at what I saw.

-Derrick: I will tell you everything, don't worry.

He said that with a smile on his face, grinning a bit.

-Derrick: but it has to wait until tomorrow, it darkens out and I want you to have a good rest because the information from today seems to have taken a toll on you.

I nodded and agreed and went to change in the bathroom. After I had changed into my bedwear I went back into my room and saw that the “mask” and the wig were gone Derrick too. I thought to myself ‘Not even a goodbye note’

And then I saw right beside my bed on the table a small yellow note that read:

“Good night, love sleep tight”

I giggled at it. And then placed the note in a box next to me and I went to bed, I mean right after I had finished brushing my hair. I lay in the bed facing the ceiling, I was milling, for some reason, I didn't know why. I thought to myself was it the meeting with Derrick or the thought of Tobi? I don't know, and then I fell asleep.
