The first 30 minutes passed without her even noticing.. She was so excited
because she was sure he’d show up.. And more important, because someone
out there cared enough for her.. But in the next 60 minutes she started to feel
worried when he didn’t show up.. And even worse, didn’t return her calls..

her mum wasn’t around.. She recalled the bad memories and felt the pain all
over again and.. Stop it..!!
She shook her head strongly, thinking that this page had ended, and a new page
in her life is about to start.. Hopefully a better one.. Sure she felt a little bit
scared and a little bit worried, but that was normal.. Any normal human being is
