?Mrs Cooper ?
I paced about endlessly in the living room, fidgeting.
My son. My baby…. I thought he had gotten over that crazy force after meeting Marianne.
I thought Marianne had made it stopped cos the crazy force began to die down Immediately my son met her.
Now what?
I’ve got to tell Marianne everything. I’ve got to tell her who Davidson really is.
I checked my wrist watch again. She ought to have been here cos I told her to come over to my house when she alerted is of what happened.
She rushed in as the hallway door bursted opened. “Mother!” She gasped rushing towards me.
We hugged as she breathed heavily. “Calm down. He’s gonna be fine.” I said.
“I’ve never seen him like that! He.. he… Looked like a monster! ” Marianne cried and I smiled.
” He’s not dear. David is…” I stopped and sighed. How do I even start?
” Tell me mother. Why is he like that? What happened to him?” Marianne asked again but I found it hard to open my mouth.
“You have to rest first. Then, I will tell you.” I finally said and she stared at me, confused.
? Jessica ?
“Hmm. I’m so confused here. What do I wear!” I asked happily as I opened my closet.
” I wanna look nice for him. He’s agreed to let us meet and in his house too! So…I gat to look good!”
Theresa was right there in the room but she wasn’t answering.
I turned around and saw her sitting on her bed, glaring down into a book.
I frowned slightly. Is she alright?
“Tess? Tess!” I called and she looked up carelessly at me.
” What? ” She almost snapped.
“You aren’t saying anything. Are you okay?” I asked and she smirked.
I gasped. ” Did you just smirked at me? ”
” Really? Are you seriously asking me that? Why are you always acting so Superior and special, hun?
You know what? I’m beginning to hate your guts!” She yelled at me, stood up and walked out of the room, leaving me shocked.
All our lives together as twin sisters, she’s never talked to me like that.
We never fought and we’ve never had any cause to get into a serious argument just like this one.
I sighed and looked towards the door and shrugged.
This would definitely not stop me from meeting Robert.
I chose a red strapless gown and decided to wear it without a bra.
I stood in front of the mirror after wearing it and smiled.
“Lovely!” I took up my bag and walked out of the room then headed downstairs.
I was surprised to see Marianne sitting in the living room.
I walked up to her hesitantly. “Is everything alright?”
She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at me.
” Oh…. Hi. I’m fine. It’s…. ” She stopped and I looked around.
” Where’s mom?”
“She went to get something from the kitchen.” She replied.
“Okay… I’m off to somewhere and I’m late already. Are you gonna be here when I get back? ”
” Oh no. I will be leaving soon enough.” She replied and I nodded, walking away.
I sensed something was wrong.
Hope Davey is alright?
?Theresa ?
I stared down the window with so much contempt as I watched her exit the compound.
Why is she always ahead?
She’s always ahead of everything!!
School….work….fashion… admiration… everything!
And now,boys??
She’s ahead of me too when it comes to boys.
It’s never gonna happen again.
I won’t let it happen. Not this time around.
Not this time that I finally found someone they caught my fancy.
I tightened my fists and looked away from the window.
I need a plan…a fast plan to show that sister of mine that I’m way too smarter than her.
? Davidson ?
I opened my eyes slightly and swallowed softly before sitting up in bed.
I looked around and saw a bowl of water and a neatly folded cloth beside me.
I touched my forehead and realized it was warm.
I sighed and winced at the pounding in my skull.
Where’s my dear Marianne?
I must have scared her away real bad.
Why did I have to dream about that incident again?
Why!!
I breathed heavily and tried to mask away that picture… That h©rrible picture from my memory.
I groaned and staggered up, going out of the room in search of Marianne.
Where has she left to?
I hope I didn’t scared her away forever cos if she’s gone away forever, then I’m doomed cos only her is my weakness.
Only she has been able to calm me down.
Marianne please… Come back to me.
Please.
? Marianne ?
I watched Mrs Cooper come back into the room with a tray of two cups of steaming coffee.
She passed one to me and o collected on with both hands although I wasn’t a bit interested in it.
I just wanted to Know what’s happening to David.
She sat down,took a sip from her coffee and sighed. With a smile she looked sadly at me.
“I’m scared, Marianne.” Her voice shook.
“Of what?”
” You…. leaving Davidson immediately you know what’s wrong.” She whispered and I cringed.
Is it that bad??
“We are married mom. We said our vows on the alter. For better for worse….till death do us apart.
“Rather than running off I will stay and put things in order.” I said, holding her hands.
Mrs Cooper nodded with a painful smile as tears streamed down her face.
“My son… Davidson is…. He’s a psych©path. ”
My mouth dropped open in shock.
” What?? ” I gasped.
“A psych©path. Something happened…. Something made him into it.
He almost lost his life. He almost couldn’t make it and when he did… He turned into a psych©path. ” Mrs Cooper said and I gasped again.
What really happened! What made a handsome guy like Davidson turn into a psych©path??
What happened!!??
