The last 2 weeks have been hard for Annabelle to study. But she knew she had to keep up a good front with Mother Immaculata and the other students. Just think, finals tomorrow, follow by my 18^th birthday the next day. 18, I will be 18 and out of the reaches of my mother, Senator Tillman. The best part and good news was that Simone was staying with her aunt Nicole and auntie Carmen. That she learned from a phone call from her aunt Nicole, the only phone call Annabelle got regarding what had happen to Simone. She wanted so much to call and talk to Simone, but she had made an agreement with her mother and Mother Immaculata to give up her cell phone and not make any calls on the phones at school. The one thing Annabelle was grateful for, was that none of what had happen made headline news, I’m so sure that Senator Tillman was grateful too.

Two weeks have come and gone and all Simone knew was that Annabelle was still at the school. Two weeks seem like 2 months with out Annabelle, Simone was on pins and needles worried that Annabelle would just move on after she finish with school. Simone wonder if Senator Tillman would take Annabelle far away, so that she would never see her again. Nicole and Carmen would reassure Simone every day that Annabelle was doing just fine and that when the time was right she would see Annabelle again. All Simone could think is when, when would she be able to see her lovely Annabelle again. So in gross with her thoughts of Annabelle, Simone could not even enjoy the hobby she loved so much, taking pictures. The only pictures in her mind where that of Annabelle the day at the beach house and Annabelle making love to her.
