My second trail...

I closed my eyes to count...

one...

two...

three...

and when I opened my eyes, I was in...a room,

it looks like a small one, but who I am in, I need to find it out...

I got up from my bed and went outside, an old woman was coughing badly, that sound irritated me...

"Bob..."

called that old woman coughing vigorously, she wasn't able to talk,

I wondered who is Bob,

Is she calling me?

I ran in and looked around, nothing more in that shabby house, there was a half-broken mirror in the corner,

I went there to look at myself, my new look for the next twenty days...

and the main thing was, I was worried that the face I hate the most shouldn't be mine...

"no...!!, shit...!! shit..."

It was...

I fall on my knees, to plead.

" Please... not this... I can't be the one, I wanted to kill, I can't, he is disgusting.... no not this... I would prefer being a dog rather than this... please get me out..."

but I was not the one to control this system, and he does not want me to have this as I please.

"Bob..., are you talk...talking to someone....uhh....uhh"

the old lady from outside called out for him again.

uhhh..... I sighed, I don't want to enter this body... especially this body, I looked in the mirror, the scare on his face, I hit that... he was Bob, one of my classmates,

in high school,

He suddenly disappeared from the town, he was a rogue, at a very young age of fifteen, he was like a mafia don in the school.

But why him?

I hate him to every extent of my heart, I resented him... the hit on his face, was my revenge when he snatched my fee money from me,

But not only that, he stole money from Mrs. Elsa..., our homeroom teacher which made her lose her job and respect... she was like a mother to me...

I can never forget that...

I don't want to waste my twenty

days,

ok fine...

if I am in this body, let me complete what you have started, ...

I went to the kitchen to grab a knife, I thought it through...

but suddenly I heard a voice from the backyard,

"How are you mom?"

it sounds like I know who was talking,

I went outside to see.

but just one look and the knife from my hand slipped on my toe...that was Mrs.Elsa.

"ahh..." I cried in pain,

" Bob, ... are you all right?" she came running to me.

I was shocked why would she be this caring for a rogue like him,

she hugged me, it was out of the blue...

I was shocked,

the old woman sitting on the bed shouted in her shivering voice,

"Take off your dirty hands over that innocent, ....ahh....ahh, and stop playing tricks here....!!"

That affection confused me...I was in a dilemma, should I just hug her back or I should push her away, that old lady, came trembling and pulled Mrs. Elsa away from me,

"Don't you dare touch him, where was your love, your affection when you left both of us to die... to starve" she was burning in fumes of agony,

and I stood up trying to untie those confusing knots in front of me.

"Please mom, I know I am guilty, but I have my reasons for that, he is my son after all, and I can't live without him, please don't do that..."

I was shocked, Mrs. Elsa was Bob's mother, that was a complete concussion for me...it took me so long to understand that situation,

I needed some time... but they continued,

"you left him when he needed you the most...he was just a month old, his life would have ended if it hadn't been me... and I am glad that I was a mother again", that old lady, yelled,

But her eyes were filled with tears,

I can feel how hard it might be for her being that old, and taking care of a month baby.

" Mom, I know I was wrong, but I have no choice, I strived to make a living for us but you know better than me, I had to opt between being a wife or prostitute, do I have any chance?"

she said seriously,

so the beautiful, caring, and motherly Mrs. Elsa has such an awful past.

" I don't want to hear your justification Elsa, I gave up on my only daughter, the day she left, leaving behind a month old innocent to die, ...just get lost, and never show your face again, even if I die"

she pushed her away with her shivering hands and was weeping out.

I hid inside the room, I don't know how to face her,

Mrs. Elsa left with a broken heart, and grandma was weeping too,

I came out to help grandma to bed, she was sad..so miserable,

"Did I do anything wrong Bob?" she asked me in an awful voice, but I have nothing to say,

"She might have her reasons to do so... grandma, don't worry, I am alright," I said comforting her,

"you changed, you changed a lot, my child, you are just fifteen and you talk like an adult, a matured one, I am relieved,"

I hesitated, did she catch me, I am an adult, and I just passed my degree. But I am trapped in the body, of a fifteen years old boy, but I think I have to behave like one...

"I am a grown-up, grandma, you don't need to bother about me"

she was happy to see me supportive, and rested on her bed,

my stomach was grunting, and I was hungry, I went in to see if I can find something to eat, but there was nothing in there, I felt bad, so this was his life... he could barely have something to eat,

I was better in Edward's body, at least I had food to eat, money to spend...

hmm... do I have to find a job... ok, let's say do that,

I went out to get something and grandma was sleeping,

I got an idea, if I am Bob, that means Jack will be here as well,

that means I can see myself...

that was astonishing,

I went to the orphanage, where I used to live, and searched for myself, I was wondering what I would look like...

It would be thrilling, to see myself in front of me,

I wandered around but couldn't find myself,

suddenly I got hit by rocks, one after the other, without stopping,

"aahh...!!" I screamed in pain, and fainted on the ground,

After a while, I got up rubbing my eyes to see, Mother Sabrina sitting in front of me,

"Are you fine my child?" she asked in a very humble voice,

"Yes Mother Sabrina, I am fine"

she looked confused,

"You know me? but how?" of course, I know her I spent all my childhood in this hellish place with her so-called rules,

"I heard about you", I said to clear her doubt,

" I am the sorry child that, you had to endure pain because of one of my kids",

she looked at the door,

"come in my boy and apologize, God will forgive you", I was dying to see who the hell was that boy who hit me for no reason,
