I got questions about the beginning of my RL story and how to start reading it. My navi-page is kind of hard to find on my blog. Sorry!

Two years ago I started to work on a summary. The summary is unfortunately still not completely finished, because I lost that save and so also the motivation to work on it. But I have summarized the beginning anyway, so that you don’t have to start from scratch!!

I recommend starting here, this is the beginning of my summary.

Just click on Next at the end of my posts to continue.

Actually, it’s enough to read my summary to know what it is about. I always try to explain important details from the past in my current posts!! You can also ask me for details at any time, if something is unclear or was.

It's been another 3 weeks since my last story post, which is why I lost my train of thought. 🤔... If this wasn't my RL story, I would have no idea what to write now.🤦‍♀️

Anyway, let's just start. As you may remember, D. was back home. I was so excited when he texted me yesterday and couldn't wait to see him the next day. Especially because I felt so lonely here.

But last night, just before I went to bed, my good mood was suddenly over. Damien's sister Diana called me. She told me that there was a farewell party for Nico some days ago. His friends from his team organized that party. Nico allegedly leaves his soccer team and moves to another club. Um...yes! I was confused! I thought he wanted to quit? He told me how unhappy he was, and that he no longer enjoyed it due to his injuries. So why is he going to Amsterdam now, to sign up for another year? Well, he probably just lied to me again. 😔

But this wasn't the real reason Diana called me. Nico came to this party with another girl. 😞 Curious as Diana is, she confronted Nico. She thought Nico and I were still together, so she asked him who that girl was? However, N. was pretty rude to Diana. He told her to shut the fuck up. This somehow led to an argument between Nico and Damien's Sister. She got pissed and called me. I wish she hadn't told me!! I know she was mad at Nico and thought she was doing me a favor? Or Idk? To be honest, I don't think she cared how I would feel after this information. She just wanted to get back at Nico because he insulted her... I was just devastated again.💔 The next morning I wanted to cancel my date with Daniel. I didn't know if I could keep my emotions under control. I didn't want Daniel to see how sad I was. But I didn't cancel anything. I mean, what should I have told Daniel? That I was sick? No, I trusted that I would be okay as soon as I saw him.

And I was right. It did me good to spend time with him. D. was as sweet as ever. He made me feel special. And even Rocky liked him. Well, let's just say he didn't bark at him like he barked at me the first day. Later that evening we watched a horror movie. It was so fun. We made jokes about our shared past. After all, Daniel and I were technically still married.🫣😳 No idea why but we couldn't stop making jokes about it.😬

Oh and my Grandma is coming back home tomorrow morning. Don't worry, Daniel didn't stay with me! That would have been so embarrassing.

The first 3 days in the countryside, alone in my grandma's house, I felt pretty lonely. At night, in a remote place like this silence felt louder than any sound. Although (at home in the big city) I love being alone, I never thought I would miss my annoying family so much.

However, it was beautiful here during the day. Most of the time I spent outside in my grandma's garden. An older lady who was friends with my grandma came to check on her dog. Actually, she would have taken care of him while my grandma was away. For some reason Rocky didn't seem to like the old woman? I noticed that he was hiding from her, so I asked her to leave. After all, I wanted to do anything to help Rocky learn to trust me, but I couldn't with this woman around us.

The next day she didn't come by. She was probably a bit offended, but I didn't care. Besides, I had other things to do anyway. My grandma had some fruit trees on her property. There were so many apples and plums on the ground that I picked up, to make my grandma's garden look nice.

While I was working outside, Rocky followed me everywhere. No matter where I was, he didn't leave my side. I think he was slowly starting to trust me. On the third day he even let me pet him. I was so happy about it.🖤

What surprised me, was that Rocky let me put him on a leash. He never had a problem with that. Since this worked so well, I took him for a walk every evening. He really enjoyed those walks with me and I took so many pics of him.

Later that day, I got a message from Daniel. D. was back home! Seems like I'm finally getting some company here. 😏...😉

After one week of beach holiday, I went to the countryside to my grandma. Actually, everything was planned differently. My son and I wanted to spend the rest of the summer holidays here with Sonja and her kids. But unfortunately, Sonja's two little boys got sick. That's why I was now alone and my little one spent two more weeks at the beach with my Mom & Dad.

When I arrived, my Grandma seemed kind of stressed.

She told me that she had to leave. Her brother got sick. His wife had died, which is why he was alone and needed my grandma's help. My grandma didn't know what do now?? She knew how anxious I was and that I would feel uncomfortable here in the house at night all by myself.... Anyway, I didn't want to cry or panic like a baby, so I told her I'd be fine.

Besides, I wasn't really alone. My grandma got a dog. His name's Rocky. The dog belonged to a neighbor who died. No one wanted to take care of their dog. There were difficulties with him at the animal shelter. But my Grandma wanted to save him, so she adopted Rocky. His previous owner treated him like a watch dog and he was never allowed to enter the house. We had to be very patient and careful with him. But meanwhile, he learned to trust my grandma. Before she left, she introduced me to him and showed me how to take care of Rocky. All I had to do was fill his food bowl and make sure he had water. I was so excited. I wanted to do everything I could to make Rocky trust me too.

Ngl, the first time I saw him staring and barking at me, I chickened out! Rocky's a big dog, his fur pitch black and his eyes kind of yellow-orange, like a demon, you know? 😬 So now I could understand why no one at the shelter could handle him.

Later that evening, my grandma said goodbye to me. I could see how worried she was. But I assured her everything would be fine.

An hour after she left, it slowly became dark. I was in the bathroom. Everything was fine until I suddenly heard strange noises coming from Sonja's room. I felt like I heard footsteps. I realized this used to be my late uncle's room. While I was getting dressed, I panicked.

I just headed down the stairs and left the house! I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. I repeated this a few times until I felt better. I told myself I'm safe here, my uncle would never want to scare me. And IF, his spirit is really here, he certainly has no evil intentions.

Outside I saw Rocky. I ran to him and tried to lure him into the house. "We can be friends, I don't mean any harm", I said to a dog. 😅 As if he could understand me.

Well, I don't think he wanted to follow me in. On the contrary, he barked at me until I was back in my grandma's house. 😔

Anyway, I hid back in my room and tried to fall asleep. I was thinking about my baby. I wondered what he was doing right now? I missed my son sm. Maybe this wasn't a good idea to come here alone?

Sandra and I were on vacation with our two little boys.🩵 It was a lovely but short (6 days) beach holiday.

Unfortunately, I couldn't afford more!🤷‍♀️... Nevertheless, this was not the end of our journey. Summer had only just begun.
