((( CLAIRE )))

Did they knew each other?

"So what if it's me?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Such a small world it is. I didn't know this buffoon is my friend's brother. Am I right Claire?"

I nodded.

"You knew each other?"

Dennise nodded in ridicule.

"If I've known I'd be seeing him here, I probably haven't come with you today."

"It's still a shame that you let go of Derick,"

Nadine stood up and walked away upstairs.

Dexter imitated Nadine,.

"She's such a gold-digger."

"Aren't you the same?" It was Dennise.

(AUTHOR'S PLUG-IN:

Hi there. Some of this chapter's details might be a little vague but Dexter and Dennise's backstory will come up soon. Thanks for reading!)

"Where in hell did you pick that woman Clarita?" Dexter asked.

"And of all people, why did this guy become your brother?" Dennise recoiled.

They seemed unfriendly with each other. Did they have a bad history?

"You're not in your territory so watch your mouth!"

It was Dexter.

"And to remind you, our band is a sponsor of the Hope Foundation that helped you. That means…"

"Then eat this house. I don't care." Dexter gabbled on.

I ignored their little fight and ascended the stairs to my room.  

It was still the same as I've left it.

From the door, I heard Amy's faint mumbling from the bathroom.

"It's normal for your stomach to itch. Don't scratch it," I advised.  

I was about to close the door when I saw Lilibeth ran outside to their own bedroom.

"I've finished my project, mom."

I smiled.

Everyone's lives in the house were starting to get their own colors. Mine was darker but I don't mind as long as theirs were brighter.  

I closed the door entirely and let my body fall on the bed.

It's been a while…
