“I know this a lot to take in.” Rachel said as she sat down. She was right it was a lot to take in never have I ever thought that my sister would be a drug mule. “Why don’t you leave this thing.” Even I knew that she could never do that.

“And do what.” She threw her hands on the air “I leave and do what, don’t you think that I tried finding a job? But it is either they want a degree with 5 years experience and then there’s mama le papa breathing down my neck wanting money.”

“I’m sorry.” I say at last not knowing what to say.

“Mr A want’s to see us tomorrow at 8 a.m i am praying that he doesn’t ask you to be a drug mule just like me.”

In the last few hours since I arrived here my life has changed drastically so, I came here to pursue my dream and now I am getting sucked into all of this.

“I’m going to bed you can sleep here at the sofa it can turn into bed.” She says as she heads to her bedroom and comes holding a comforter “If you are hungry you can order a pizza or something cause I don’t think I can cook today.”

I take the comforter and spread it nicely on the bed.

“Goodnight.” She says with a yawn as she heads to her room.

After ordering a pizza I sit there quietly watching TV which was soundless almost fearing that today I won’t be getting some sleep.
