Chapter 1
It's been a year since my mum died in an accident on her way home from the grocery store… It was very hard for my Father and I to be in the same house, because everything reminds us of her. So we moved from Texas to New York… Actually my Father isn't my real dad, more like a stepfather, but I see him to be my dad…he came into our lives when I was 17 years old, and he has been a great father and a loving husband to my mum…
Am sorry for not introducing myself earlier am Pearl am twenty -two years old,,,I love staying indoor and watching TV, am also a fan of BTS actually my bias is Jimin, ... I have two best friends Max and SAM they are still in Texas, but we do video calls and talk to each other on the phone… It's been a few months' since we moved to New York Manhattan the place was so beautiful ,,,its winter, so It's very chilly, since dad has gone out to god knows where, I decided to go to a café nearby and get myself hot coco since we don't have some at home
I grabbed my jacket and winter boots and wear them and got outside .oops I forgot my wallet and keys, I turned around and went to my bedroom to get my stuff and locked the door,,,I made it into ´Brighten Your Day Café and got inside, the Café smelt homey and full of different bakeries,,,,I took a seat by the window and a waiter came to my table, Good morning, what can I get you the waiter said I looked up and saw a cute guy with pink hair and brown eyes staring at me with a smile on his face …
Aww! He is so cute, I stood up and pulled his cheeks …you are so cute I said making him blush,,,ah mm t-thank you he said, can I get a hot cocoa with vanilla cake please I said with a smile, he wrote it down on his small note pad and said he will be write back...
He came back with my order and I thanked him and started drinking my hot cocoa, my dads' behavior is starting to worry me...since mum death he has been isolating himself from everyone except me. He used to stay at home all day looking at my mum picture, hmm I had to force him to work, or he would be home drowning himself in alcohol
I finished everything and called for the waiter, what's your name I asked him, am cupcake he said making me laugh is it a Nicky or your real name I asked, well my mum loves cupcake so much that's why she named me cupcake he said smiling he has dimples, damn can this boy be cuter than he already is I wondered, am Pearl I said
can I be your friend he said with a shy smile, of course I could need a friend since am new here I replied,,,here is my number he wrote his number on the notepad and gave it to me, I paid my bill and got home
I watched TV the whole day, ms dinner is ready our helper Mary called me… I forgot to tell you we have a helper who comes in every day to clean and cook and leave around seven pm, Mary is like my second mother she is nice and helpful
thanks, Mary, you can leave early today I said, thanks ms she said, ahh how many times do I have to say call me Pearl, you are older than me, so please just call me by my name please I said with a pout...she came towards me and hugged me okay dear take care she said and left
now am home alone, I ate my dinner and watched TV again and went to my bedroom and brushed my teeth and took a hot shower and get dressed in a big green shirt and wore a red shocks and made my way to get into bed, I wanted to lock my bedroom door, but I was too lazy to get up from my comfortable bed, so I checked the time it was ten-ten pm, I closed my eyes and slept
if only I knew what would happen in the next few hours, I would have locked my door, but it was too late...
