“You killed them!” shouted Diana in terror
“Who? Ohhh you mean the bodyguards. I did it was very easy. I am so tired Diana. I had been running away from the cops. You know I still can’t believe that I killed my parents,” she said looking at herself on the mirror. “Did you cook anything? I am so hungry,” she smiled.
Diana watched her, confusion racing through her. Just what kind of person Amy had turned into? Maybe it was her fault. She should have been there for her friend. She knew she needed time to think. She had to be sure of what to do next to get out of the house. Amy was not going to let Diana leave the house alive. She wanted her dead at that moment. She had nothing to lose. She stood, immovable and silent as she waited for Amy to say something. Finally she spoke.
“I know you scared right now Diana but you don’t need to be. I am not a killer,” she said with a laugh. “Did I just say that? Oh my goodness, silly me,” she pinched herself.
Diana closed her eyes for a second then opened them. She looked at her, injecting as much firmness into her voice as possible.
“What happened to you? You have changed and now you nothing but a murderer.”
“Diana! Stop reminding me about it. It’s bad as it is. You made me do it Diana. I loved my parents so much but you killed them,” said Amy in between sobs.
“The drugs has got into you. The only way to come out of this is to stop this madness of yours Amy. Already people have been hurt all because of you,” she said not afraid anymore.
“You blaming me now? Huh!”
“I am not but I still love you as a friend. Despite everything you have done. Amy, we were once friends. Remember?” she went on. “We used to study together, doing the same subjects at school. You were like a sister that I never had. Please let’s just end this war.”
“No no no. Stop trying to make me a good person. I am noot a g…” she stopped at midsentence when she realised she was nose bleeding.
“Are you okay?” asked Diana concerned.
“I am fine!” snapped Amy.
Diana took a deep breath. She raised her brows at her in question. That somewhere deep in,side she felt pity for her friend. She handed her the tissue in shaking hands.
“Thanks!” said Amy. “But does not mean I won’t kill you. I will kill yo….”
“What is it Amy?” asked Diana with a hint of panick in her voice.
She ignored Diana. All of a sudden she started feeling dizzy and couldn’t understand what was happening around her. Diana quickly held her hand. She helped her to sit down. Let me go and fetch you a glass of water.
“Don’t even think about calling the cops on me!” threatened Amy with a low voice.
“I will never be like you. At least I have got a heart. Lay on the bed I will bring you the water,” said Diana walking to the door.
She quickly ran to the kitchen, poured a glass of water. Upon arrival Amy had already fell unconcious on the bed. Diana stood silent, gazing at her friend.
“What is happening here?” asked Ray as he walked in,side the room. “The body guards had been shot.”
“We need to take her to the hospital,” said Diana.
“What!” exclaimed Ray in surprise.
“I can’t let her die. She is my friend.”
“But she is a fugitive. Most wanted person at the moment. If we go with her at the hospital. They will think we the ones who were hiding her. Listen my lady I know you love your friend. Psychopath Amy but let’s call the cops,” he said dialling the number.
Diana immediately grabbed the phone from him.
“She will go to jail, yes. But not in this state. Can’t you see she is bleeding. Something is wrong with her. We will take her to the hospital then call the cops later. Carry her and follow me,” said Diana with a serious look on her face.
“What!”
“Don’t just stand there like a statue. Do as I said.”
“Where did you get the good heart? She is a criminal!” said Ray carrying Amy.
They walked out of the house and put her in the car. He drove off at the hospital.

AFTER 6 MONTHS
“Guess who is here!” shouted Diana in the prison hospital.
“I missed you so much, D. Look at that tummy. Growing big right.”
“Come on still small. How are you holding up?”
After they took Amy to the hospital. She was arrested. In two months she was diagnosed with leukemia ( blood cancer). At first Amy never wanted to see Diana but having the church sessions and talking to her therapists. She finally opened up. Diana was surprised when the doctor at the prison hospital called her saying Amy had requested to see her. She was happy because she didn’t want her to feel alone.
“I am better,” she responded.
She had lost some weight and cut her hair. She was lying on the hospital bed as she talked to Diana.
“Thank you Diana for everything. You were truly my sister. I messed up big time. It’s not good to live with hate. Look at me now I am dying,” she said in tears.
“Shhhh you will be alright. I am here for you, besty. I love you Amy.”
“I love you too D, so much,” said Amy.

YEARS LATER

She placed flowers on the tombstone.
“Mummy! Is this were Auntie Amy was buried?” asked Ryan
“Yes my baby. Before she died. I made her your God mother.”
“Daddy! What is a Godmother?” asked Ryan his eyes on his father
The day Ryan was born became the happiest day of the beautiful couple. Ray couldn’t stop shouting in the hospital. When his wife was discharged from the hospital. He used to help with the baby. He would lay watching his face and smiling up at him. Sometimes he would shush and patt him until he fell asleep. The next following he tried the shushing thing but it didn’t work. Diana laughed at him, his effort. He wanted to give up but his wife told him that he would have to do it again.
“A person!” responded Ray.
“You don’t just say a person. Try to explain it to me. I am six years old I can understand. Big brains but small engine. If you know what I mean,” he said making his parents burst out laughing.
Amy’s condition became worse. She died soon after Ryan was baptised. Amy was also baptised. Before she died, she spent most of her time in the hospital preaching the word of God.
“You know D. I am just happy that we ended this war before it gone even bigger. I must tell you something. I really needed you to pay. I was so mad at you that you stole Ray away from me. Forgetting that I am the one who messed up,” she said at the ceremony.
The day that Amy died a lot of people attended her funeral. She had inspired many people with her story. A story about her changing from being a killer, drug addict to a christian.
“Mummy!” called out Ryan disrupting her mother from thoughts. “Seriously had I been talking to myself. You guys are so boring. I wish Uncle Admire was here. He is a cool dude.”
“Dude?” said Ryan.
“Yah ..it’s another English that Uncle Admire taught me. Can we go now. We still have to go and watch soccer, daddy,” said Ryan heading where they had parked their car.
It had been fours years since Amy died.
“How did he learn those words?” asked Diana with a laugh.
“My lady I don’t know. Ryan is a naughty kid. I need to pass by the office. Will you go with me?”
“Yes sure but after we drove Ryan at your parents. Mr ex President wants to see him,” said Diana laughingly.
“Woman! We are talking about my dad,” said Ray pinching his wife.
They got into the car and drove off. They dropped Ryan at his grand parents. Raphael and his family had moved to London. Admire had come back to the country few months after graduating with a degree in engineering. Ray later turned back the car and drove at their house. He opened the car door for his lady after parking the car at the garage. They got in,side the house.
“No talkative Ryan today,” said Diana throwing herself on the bed. “Hubby! I am so tired. Help me with the m-ssage please.”
“Okay sweety. I have to go and watch soccer first. I called Admire over. He should be here,” said Ray.
“Are you joking!” exclaimed Diana. “I thought we were sending Ryan at your parents so that we can… You know do our thing. But why? Tell Admire that you can’t watch soccer with him today,” said Diana pissed off.
Suddenly Admire shouted from the sitting room.
“Mr Ray, sir. I am here. The game is about to start.”
“Wifey. I will see you later. Just sit on the bed do some make up. Rather go at the saloon and gossip,” said Ray walking out of the room.
Admire and Ray had become close than before. Ray treated Admire like his own brother. People even thought these two were real brothers.
“Have they started playing?” said Ray as he sat beside Admire.
“No! They haven’t started yet. By the way. Where is your wife?”
“On the mirror,” said Ray his eyes on the television.
“Yah she really loves the mirror,” said Admire his eyes on the television as well.
“Where is he taking the ball? Come on man. Can’t you see he was all alone. I made a bet with my workmates. If we lose Admire. I am doomed.”
“Rather pray we win. Where is he taking the ball? He is crazy. If he takes the ball there and come back there. He will definitely make it there,” said Admire.
Ray looked at him and his wife was standing behind them laughing
“Whats with the there stuff?”
“Huh! Nothing.”
“Is that Ronaldo? Oh my goodness! He is so d–n cute!” exclaimed Diana excitedly.
Ray glared at her.
“Hey. You are married remember. I am the only one who is cute,” he said.
“You mean you are cute. A baboon like you,” she said and Admire laughed. “Remember Admire you his twin. I wonder why you laughing if you baboon like him.”
“Diana!” they shouted at the same time.
The stood up and chased after her. They were a happy big family and lived happily ever after.
