Chapter 9

Joanne was lying down on her bed. He grabbed the iPod from the bedside table and slammed the headset into his ear. He turned the volume on and pressed the play button.

He placed his arm over the eye and closed his eyes firmly. But no matter how close he closed his eyes, there were still tears in his eyes. The pain of seeing him once again was unbearable. The pain of seeing his eyes with coldness and blankness in them made her heart tear into pieces.

She thought what she did years ago was for the best for both of them. Then why was she hurting right now?

She was slightly startled when she felt her bed slump and the slight pat on her shoulder. His niece Missy was sitting next to him.

He removed the earplug and wiped his cheek. "Yes, baby?"

Kunot-noong looked at him. "Why are you crying,` My? "

"I just remember something sad, Missy."

It seems to be thinking. Then he got up from his bed and jumped on it. "My, you and Tito Mac are right. Even if he looks evil, you are good. ”

He almost grinned when he heard the adjective about Marcus. Even before, the adjective “evil” suited Marcus. The man is not totally evil. It just doesn't matter if it is male or female.

"Tito Mac?"

It nodded. “He said I would call him that, eh. He’s good though sometimes he looks like he’s in pain whenever he’s looking at me. Maybe he’s conspitated. ”

He laughed softly. "Constipated."

It just shrugged.

Maya- later Chad entered his room. He scolded her but the Jew, he even managed to smile!

"You planned this!" she said trembling to the man.

He raised both hands and sat down next to her. “I did not. I swear! ”

"Eh why are you smiling, smiling dog?"

"Just because…"

"What?"

“Just! `Don't ask too many questions. Just think that this is your chance for Marcus' failed love affair. ”

“There is no second chance! Pretending not to know me, what else am I up against? ”

He only answered with a smile.

Joanne was still singing while looking for something to eat inside the refrigerator in the main kitchen of the boarding house. She fell asleep while waiting for dinner time. Chad did not wake him up because he knew his head would only heat up when his sleep was interrupted again.

Also, he is not ready to face Marcus again.

He is a coward if he is a coward, he is only preparing his heart because he knows a hurtful word and just thinks from Marcus his heart will be broken.

He knew his eyes were shining when he saw a slice of chocolate cake in the refrigerator. He had no food in his own refrigerator so in Chad's refrigerator he was picking up food. “Yay! My favorite. ”

He put down the saucer and took some water. He left the refrigerator turned on because he did not bother to turn on the kitchen light. He's lazy, eh.

“You’re my cuppycake, gumdrop, snoogums-boogums. You’re the apple of my pie… ”he stopped singing when he heard a crack in the back. He swallowed. He has never heard of a ghost here in the apartment
