Chapter 28: Chapter 028

Oscar and I spent the entire morning together. We were yet to determine when I would be returning with Gavin to his place. Learning that Gavin's place was on the outskirts of town, I figured it would be best that I visit James in person to let him know I would be living for a while.

When I told Oscar about my plans to go to the other side of town to visit James, he kicked against it.

"You can't go there," he complained.

" Why? I have been eating and living on that side of town, all my life. Why are you trying to stop me from going there, Oscar?" I asked, confused about his action.

Oscar scratched his head a bit. I could see he was battling with himself on what to say. Whatever his reasons may be, that is if he had any, they were difficult to communicate.

" I promised to keep you safe and that is what I am trying to do," He finally managed, avoiding telling me the reason.
