Her mother's daughter

Trust issues

I had ditched my friends yesterday and even i couldn't receive any of their calls. I found more than fifteen missed calls from Roni, several from Tatiana and a bunch of messages from them. I only texted them that i had a long day and then i called it a day and assumed the rest would be fine with that.

I had realized that Erica had been stalking me for the whole of last week. At first it didn't bother me that much as i thought it was just her curiosity to know me much more but i have a weird feeling about it as i still saw her today in the morning. I knew only one person who could help me with information about her, Tatiana and so i texted her. I was finalizing my chores when i heard a knock. I quickly raised from my seat and went to answer the door.

"Hey, morning Tat," i greeted her as i ushered her in.

"Morning too, i didn't know being your friend again will make me feel worried," she said as she made herself comfortable.

"Am sorry,i was just tired but saying being my friend again so you knew who i am," i asked her.

"Of course i knew. Let me say i knew you much more better than Megan and so when i saw at the airport i recalled you but i couldn't say anything since Roni said you had lost your memories."

"I get it but why didn't tell me about Meg and Rapha you know they're my family."

"It is yours to find out about them. You the only hope but much is going on in their life so that tells you why no one recalls you."

"So i have to make them," i smiled as i said that.

"And how are you gonna do it," she inquired.

"You're maybe the only person i trust in our group but i would ask. Can i trust you with anything," i asked her unsure of myself. She looked at me intentively looking for something in me and when she was done she chuckled.

"Of course you can. You still don't remember me that much."

"I do remember you or maybe i can say i never knew who you were until yesterday and now i want it to be between us. Nobody else should know i have my memories back. Promise me you will keep it to yourself."

"I promise. I'm glad am the first one who met our friend or maybe my cousin," she said as she jumped in my seat and hugged me tight. I was glad i had her she was still the same childish sometimes but Erica was bothering me.

"Can i ask you something," i asked her politely.

"Anything that's why I'm here," she assured me.

"Okay, how well do you know Erica, i mean Ms. McClain," i tried not to look at her because I wasn't sure what she is going to say.

"Well, she had being our friend for long. When you left Meg was confused knowing that she liked you she didn't say much until she met someone else, Sarah. She and Meg became close but not as close as it was with you so they became close friends and maybe best friends. One day we were walking around the beach in Miami and there Sarah saw her, Erica. She was beautiful and hot. Sarah approached her and since it was a summer vacation they became close by the end of it." She paused to make sure i was listening.

"And what happened after," i felt so uneasy about it but she continued.

"They both exchanged contacts and she introduced her to us. When we went back to school Erica was our new teacher and since we had met before it was easy to bond with each other. She became close to us until for the first time in years we realized Sarah was an undercop. She had all the information regarding the death of Megan's parents the only thing she didn't know was the whereabouts of Jenny when someone blew her cover. Everything changed a lot but she refused to mention anybody else who knew about it. I had to distance myself from Meg of which it was had but i had to. Same to Erica but since we couldn't just escape in thin air we still bonded in shadows and no one has ever known about us. Soon Sarah sacrificed her life to save me and Erica who was her girlfriend by then. After her death Erica changed, everything around her changed. She became hostile, she never let anyone close to her. She grieved for her loss and maybe that's why she is not so sure about you. I thing I know she likes but she is afraid of losing you. You resemble Sarah so much. You're kind, honest, friendly just like her and that scares the s**t out of her," she looked at me with a sad expression. I didn't know how to react about that but if Sarah was an undercop then i need those information she had gathered.

"So that tells why she has been stalking me everyday," i said .

"Wait you mean she has been following you," she looked confused but i just nodded my head in assurance. "But why would she do that."

"Maybe she want to make sure i am not a cop." I sighed as i went in to the kitchen to grab a drink. "But no matter what she thinks about me i have to accomplish what brought me here." I frankly told her as i offered her a drink.

We sat there in silence for a moment but it felt good. I had to digest everything before starting my mission officially. I had to plan everything very well and not blow my cover. Davis was to plan about how to do everything else but he had to make good use of this traitor, Harry. We had to fish information from him unknowingly.

"And how are you going to do about it," she asked.

"Try and make Meg to remember me and then everything will fold itself," i answered. "You know Meg has a soft spot on me and so i have to take advantage of that to make myself known."

" I guess you know who you're dealing with," she was worried about me but still she would like to see her aunt again with no restrictions.

I missed her too. I had to find my dad too, he has to be alive somewhere until Madison fulfills his promises.

"Yeah i know and that's what makes me mad Tat, i want to help my dad, my aunt, my brother and find justice for Megan and find her sister Jenny," i insisted.

"Take it easy Grace, i believe you can but you have to control your anger, your feelings and emotions since i know Erica will be dragged in this," she said the last past slowly to make sure i understand.

"Saying of Erica, i have to justify Sarah's death."

"Okay then, i wish you good luck."

"Thanks Tat,"

"For what?"

"For everything, for being there for me."

"You're welcome anytime."

After our conversation ended she dragged me with her to her apartment. We arrived a little bit earlier than the rest. Roni was mad for ditching them but i had to. I had been avoiding Casey since i knew she wanted to know what was going on between me and Harry. I had no idea what to say then but as for now i had already figured it out. We spent the rest of the day together. It was a good day at least to me. Casey was not mad with me but with Harry. I assured her that he was really a good guy when he wants to be.
