Everyone laughed when he said, ‗babe‘.”
“Yes, Drew that‘s exactly how it means,” Haggai sighed, as Drew clapped his hands, smiling, excited, like a child who was about to get his favorite dessert after dinner. “Moving on… the house that I‘m talking about, which I think is perfect for you; they‘ve just finished building it. It‘s in my neighborhood. I am going to purchase it. It‘s going to be a couple of days.”
Two weeks later
After spending the best two weeks of their lives in Richard‘s house, Rebecca and Drew were getting ready to move out. Ron gave Rebecca his laptop just so that she would have something great to remember him by. The computer was relatively new. Ron had only had it for two and a half months. Before giving her his computer, Ron didn‘t delete his user account. All that he did was to back up his files on recordable DVD‘s, and he had lots of them. Before leaving, Rebecca asked Ron to give her copies of his files so she could have his files with her forever, and Ron complied. Richard and his wife, Whitney, they bought some clothes for Drew and Rebecca because they didn‘t want them to have to go back to what was now Jessica‘s house officially. Just like Haggai predicted, Jessica gave Drew total and physical custody of Rebecca in exchange for what was now her house. Jessica didn‘t do it because she preferred the house over her daughter, but she did it as true of her and Dawn‘s true repentance for everything that they‘d put Drew and Rebecca through. Dawn‘s fiancé, Greg, he‘d changed Dawn‘s life forever. Their relationship started as a friends-with-benefits-relationship and now, it was a commitment relationship. Greg adored Dawn so much that he wanted to marry her and start a family with her. To Greg, this relationship had always been a commitment because he loved her so much. It was Dawn‘s idea to make it a casual relationship because she told Greg when they got together, that she wasn‘t ready to commit just yet because she was too young; only twenty-two years old. Nonetheless, Dawn wasn‘t sleeping with anybody else. She was only sleeping with Greg, and she was faithful to him for two reasons: she was only having a casual relationship because at the time, she was too young to marry or get committed to anyone, and Greg satisfied her sexually in a way that none of her other three boyfriends had. In addition to that, Dawn‘s third boyfriend, Warren, he made a fool of her by making her believe that he loved her when in reality, she was just his booty call, and she didn‘t know. That‘s the reason why all that Greg used to be for Dawn was her toy, and not her real boyfriend. Even so, Greg proposed to Dawn the day after Rebecca and Drew moved into Richard and Whitney‘s house, and Dawn accepted because she realized that she would never find another man like him.
Richard and Whitney let Drew and Rebecca take with them the clothes that they‘d bought for them, and in addition to that, Dawn and Rebecca took what was now Rebecca‘s laptop, a spindle of fifty DVDs that contained Ron‘s files, and a few brand-new music CDs that Ron had given to Rebecca. During these two weeks, Ron became Rebecca‘s psychologist, figuratively, because everyday, when they were alone in Ron‘s room, Rebecca would tell Ron the things that she‘d never told anyone else, not even her parents; things that Dawn had done to her that no one knew. Everyday, they would only talk about Dawn and how much harm she‘d done to Rebecca because the horrible things that her sister did to her, those were the only secrets that Rebecca was holding from everyone. Rebecca would cry when she would talk about Dawn with Ron, and everyday, Ron would simply listen to her without saying a word, and then hug her, like a brother hugs his sister. Now, just when Rebecca and Drew were on their way to their new house, for
