Chapter 1
The sun was high up in the sky with a little bit of wind to create that perfect summer day, Maya was sitting outside by the pool soaking up the sun's rays with sunglasses on her eyes, sun screen on her body and a bright lime and white strappy swim suit to top her summer look. It had been a long time since she could relax and unwind with no worry, though she was enjoying this time to her self Maya always felt like she was missing something, like part of herself was missing, she couldn't pin point exactly what was missing but there was this part of herself that always longed for something or someone but Maya being Maya just ignored 'it must be one of those' she thought to herself.
Picking up her glass of mojito to drink suddenly her cellphone rang with caller ID Renei, Maya pressed the receiver button before she could get any word out she was cut off by Renei's loud voice"i cannot believe you took a vacation without me, no msg, no email, no letter not even a simple phone call Maya I mean what the fuck? Seems like I'm the only one who cares about this friendship, who is going to help u relax there when i'm here and not there huh?
Who is gonna fend off all those stupid hot guys with no brains who will want to pester you and want to get in your pants? God Maya sometimes you can be so insensitive, did you ever think of how this is affecting me right now ".
Well that's Renei for you so talkative straight forward and always manages to make all things about her. Renei is my best friend well the only friend I have and she is someone you can rely on, never takes anyone's shit and always goes straight to the point, you know that kind of friend who always has your back no matter what and right now she was furious with me, well with what I did to her actually.
See after I buried my parent well what remained of my parents it all became too much for me, the constant worrying of when whatever that killed my parents is going to come back for me and also trying to figure out what actually really happened to my loving parents and really not getting anywhere, it all became too much, the house started to depress me bit by bit, the happy memories I shared with my parents at that house was no longer there and I started to loose myself and interest in life. I had to do something or get out of that depressing house so I did what I thought i needed to help lift my spirit up and bring my self out of that funk mood my house had, I booked the next available flight from Cape Town to Pretoria
