Hey guys I am so sorry that I haven't updated in such a long while exams was one thing but unfortunately my mom has also decided to walk out on us again. At the moment I am looking for a job and have decided that on the side I am going to begin selling my short stories online as another way to make up for money. I never thought that I would begin to write and sell it for money, because I always wrote for entertainment. Well life sucks and unfortunatelymy dreams have to be put aside for the next few years while my dad and I try to make ends meet. Thank you for being fans and I have a few more chapters before ending this story. I wanted to begin one with Severus Snape, but it seems that I will have to scrap that for now. Please guys I really need the support and word of mouth about my work. You guys can find my work on Smashwords as R.

Chapter Twenty Four

"Come back for me in three weeks, I will be at the dock at exactly nine hundred hours"

The pilot gives me a thumbs up before I jump off the chopper. I watch as he takes off again and take a moment to breathe in the fresh air. The sound of the ocean waves was the only background noise for miles along with an occasional dinosaur groan or a footstep. I purse my lips before making my way through the carnage towards my old place.

I am surprised to find that it hasn't been damaged by anything other than the elements of the bit of mould on the door is anything to go by. I swing the door open carefully and wince when it screeches. I close the door behind me and look around, wiping a finger on the nearby table and coating my finger in dust. I clean up the place to the best of my ability and change the sheets.

I cook on the gas stove which still works and sit down to have a bite when there is sudden thudding and the ground shakes. I get off the floor and make my way to peep out of the blinds. Rex is standing in my yard, sniffing the path. I smirk and hide behind the door when he comes closer to scent the trail near the house. The door slowly creeks open and I wince again at the sound. He sniffs at the aroma in the house before pulling his head out.

Before he can manage to get his head out entirely I charge from behind the door and grab onto his face, making a smacking sound. He shakes his head but I do not let go of him. He looks at me at the end of his snout and makes a sound before lowering his head towards the ground. I let go with a laugh and he lowers himself further onto the ground until he is laying down. I scratch his favourite spot and I hear his tail thumping on the ground. He wriggles in excitement before rolling over and I take the chance to get up and start running on the grassy field.

Rex gives chase, he bigger body allowing him to make larger strides but my enhanced strength allows me to dodge him as he tries to butt me with his head. Eventually we curl up together in the warm sun and fall asleep together. When I wake up it is already dark and I scratch Rex gently on the head as a wake up. He makes a low groaning noise but opens an eye and then ignores me in favour of sleep. I nudge him and he moves his head. I nudge him again and again until he decides that getting up would be better for him. I send him off with another scratch and he goes off in search of food and I go back inside in search of my own.

I settle on a minute ramen and as I am waiting for the water to get hot on my mini teapot my cell rings. Technology is a wonderful thing, unless you are trying to hide from the world, I would have been successful if it wasn't for this meddling person. I sigh and answer and to my delight it is Jenny. We talk for a little while and I assure her that I am okay and have made it safely to the island. We end the call and Rex is making himself comfortable on my lawn, rubbing himself all over the grass and making a T-Rex shaped hole in the ground.

A week goes by with me hanging out with Rex and doing almost nothing. Almost nothing meaning that I tried to avoid thinking about Owen and what has already transpired between us. I shake my head when my thoughts become dangerous and try to focus on Rex who is busy trying to drag over a dinosaur carcass for me to give him a sign of approval. I smile at him and try to slip away without letting Rex begin his usual offer of dinosaur meat. Rex does understand that dinosaur consumption isn't really for me and later brings over a dead cow and puffs his chest with pride. With a shake of my head, I cut off a hunk of meat and use it for dinner. Rex like the bottomless pit he is eats the rest with a few crunches of his jaws. Everything is fun and games until an unwanted visitor shows up.

I scent him before I see him and Rex is behind me a low growl threatening its way out of him. Owen Grady stands in front of us with a rucksack on his shoulder along with a few knives and a rifle

"What are you doing here Owen?"

"What does it look like I'm here for?"

I shake my head before turning around and Rex follows, nearly wacking Owen with his tail. I hear Owen fall on the ground and I smirk and don't look back at him. He gets off the ground and begins to follow behind us. Rex turns around with a growl and gets into Owen's space, his tail whipping around angrily like that of a cat. Owen freezes and Rex takes a moment before turning around to match up with me again.

"Nice, using your pet T-Rex to keep me away"

I start yelling too

"At least it works"

He says nothing in return until

"Just because I'm basically an orphan here now, you're using an unfair advantage"

"Not my fault"

I walk further

"That's all you seem to do, walk away from everything"

I flip him off with both hands without looking back and I hear him laughing at me. Now with Owen Grady making himself at home on the island, how the heck am I ever going to get over him and start a new chapter of my life?

Ignoring him that's how
