She moved away quickly trying to avoid any more questions.

She broke into tears not minding the presence of her daughter.

Am sorry mum

Phillip must not hear anything about this she said with a tone of finality.

Sophie fought hard to control her tears as she went home devastated. So phillip is engaged, he moved on so quickly, no wonder his number was never reachable she thought as she cleaned her tears.

She ran into her room, ignoring her mother who was at the balcony reading a magazine. She dropped her handbag on her, remembering how she had dressed to impress Phillip the tears fell at ease.She played ‘sleeping with a broken heart by Alicia Keys’She held her phone close to chest and cried bitterly.

She sang the chorus of the song admist tears
So tonight am gonna find a way to make it, without u tonight’..

Her mum walked in, she had decided to check on Sophie seing the mood Sophie ran inside she knew something was wrong. She didn’t know her Sophie would react but she moved closer to her and held her close to her chest.Sophie who was too broken to react didnt even know when she was saying the words

He left me, why mum? I loved him too much, I love phillip with all my heart.Priscillia didn’t say anything but ran her hand on her daughters hair. She patted her till she fell asleep. Priscillia was depressed, she was hurt to see her daughter cry because of a man, she vowed to fill the vacuum she had created in the past years. She watched Sophie sleep soundly before she left her room.
