DEBBIE'S APARTMENT
Whimpering sound of a lady in a small room could be heard with the lights off, sobbing increasing at each minute. Still in her sleep “Ahhh!” Debbie screams jolting out of her dream,beads of sweat on her forehead. She sat up immediately on her bed using both hands to cover her face”i can't live like this“ she said amidst her tears. Her junior sister barges into the room upon hearing her scream “sis what's wrong are you okay?”kate asked worriedly. “It's 3am for fûck sake how can I be okay,when I keep getting this nightmares”she croaked. “It's going to be fine sis” kate cooed and sat on the bed giving her a hug and rubbing her back. After a while they both fell asleep in each others arms till the break of dawn. “Kate!! Come down for breakfast” Debbie calls out to her sister. “just a minute sis” she answered, Kate walks to the dinner and drops her books on the table, debbie groans “c'mon I called you here to eat not to read books,you can do this later” she whined. Kate chuckles “I wasn't planning on reading em now and I just checked my email I got a scholarship into PRIMEVILLE COLLEGE”she squealed. “Omg!! that's great news am so proud of you Kat” Debbie answered happily “come on let's eat before the food gets cold” she added. Kate looked at her sister with a warm smile and sighed she knew it wouldn't have been easy to get money for her fees into the college and it's her first year. So she applied for a scholarship and lucky she got in,she doesn't wanna burden her sis. She's already been through a lot.“Sis how do you feel” Kate asked. Debbie looks up from her meal and gave a short smile “I'm thrilled never doubted your-” “Am not talking about that,I meant about your nightmares” she cuts in. Debbie smile drops and she sighs “Same old thing they always appear blur and i don't even know what they mean, or what to do. it's been eight years now kat, the same period mom and dad died” Debbie answered sadly. Kate stretched out her hand to hold her sister's hand giving it a comforting squeeze “be optimistic big sis, everything would be fine” she reassured. Debbie gave her a short smile while nodding her head “Yeah, now come on Zara would be here any moment we need to get to the store”she replied. Almost immediately they heard the sound of the front door opening and closing with preceding footsteps. “ wow just great and here you guys are, relaxed and eating while I ran my ass down here thinking am late”Zara voiced out. Both girls chuckled at Zara complains.“Relax zar,sit and have breakfast with us” Debbie said. Zara rolled her eyes and scoffed “Well I can't say no to food” she replied and sat down to eat. “This taste so good” Zara said with her mouth full with the bacon and eggs. Kate chuckles, “We need to leave I have got paintings to sell guys” Debbie said and grabs her bag they followed and walked out of the house locking the door behind them. Boarded a cab that would take them downtown, cab driver dropped them off and took his cash. “Kate could you open the store for me please” Debbie said. Kate took the keys “sure no problem”she responded. Debbie got a rental that she could use to keep and sell her paintings, that's the only thing she depends on to cater for her and her junior sis needs. “So debs I wanna audition as a model for AJ STYLES company do you think I would get in?” Zara asked. “AJ STYLES? Haven't heard of that” Debbie shrugged. Zara looked at her with wide eyes “WHATT! that's like the biggest clothing and jewelry company, and it's owned by the Jefferson well the youngest billionaire in the country”Zara said dreamily. Debbie rolls her eyes “ so you wanna work there because of him?”she smirked. “what no way,you know I have always wanted to be a model” Zara replied. “ Aren't you guys coming in?” Kate cut in on their Convo. “We are coming” They answered simultaneously, “Anyway you need to see his pictures,you are gonna fall hard! girl” Zara said. Kate chuckles “I don't think sis is ever gonna fall for any guy,she doesn't even have a male friend” Kate said and debbie kicks her butt “what do you mean by that?huh” Debbie asked giving her a glare. “Ouch sis that hurts but you know that I didn't lie” Kate whined touching her ass. Zara laughs “ I just dropped my resume and few of my shoots on their website I hope I get in” Zara said with her fingers crossed. Something she does when she's been optimistic. “Don't worry Zar u will get in” Debbie said with a small smile. Zara has been best friends with Debbie since they were teens, always seen together and she knows about Debbie's episodes. “Thanks b” Zara replied. “I need to read my books now and you guys are distracting me with your talks” Kate said fixing my eyeglasses properly and sitting down by a corner. Both girls rolled their eyes. “Wow you are taking this scholarship serious, congratulations on getting it” Zara chuckled and turned to Debbie “I am sleeping over at your place tonight” she added. “Do you seriously have to ask”debbie said with a bored look. “Good day I would like to buy a painting” A lady walked into the store. Debbie's eyes lit up “Sure come with me” Debbie led the way. “We should get pizza on our way back home” Zara told the focused Kate and she only gave a thumps up, making Zara to shake her head. TORONTO,CANADA A tall imposing figure could be seen under the shower,a knock on the door brings him out of his thoughts. “Who's there?” his baritone voice asked. “Sir it's me jace” Jace voice came uneasy, “I got a call for you” he added. “Kay I will be out soon” he replied. He takes a towel and wraps it around his torso, coming out of the bathroom Jace hands the phone to him,without looking at the caller id puts the phone close to his ears. “Hello” he said. “My boy” he heard the slow cries of his mother,he creased his brows before he could say anything.his phone fell receiving a shocking news.“Alex my boy, your father is dead”she cried profusely “he took his last breath early hours of the day” she said. Alex's phone falls from his hand shakingly and he staggered back, holding unto his throbbing head. “Gawd! why?why now” he groaned painfully and sat on the bed “Jace get me my drugs!” he roared already getting agitated but it was too late as he began scattering the entire room speaking incoherent words, slowly loosing his mind.Jace rushes back to see alex in this state,gets his injection and inject the fluid into his body quickly before he gets worse. Alex calms down after a while “ I didn't do it,I didn't kill them” he said repeatedly in tears and falls asleep.Jace sighs, “I hope you get better soon bro,I can't bare to see you in so much pain”he said sadly. He helps Alex to lie properly on the bed and leaves the room.After a while Alex woke up and called for him. Jace walks into the room “Dad is dead,we have to go back to LA for the funeral and maybe stay back this time
“What!!!” Kate moves closer to Debbie's body, putting her fingers on her nostrils “she isn't breathing,we should take her to the hospital” Kate panicked.They took her out of the house and boarded a taxi, getting to the hospital some nurses came with a stretcher and they placed her on it “please sis don't die on me, you are the only one I got apart from Dante.”Kate whimpersThey took Debbie to the E.R, while Kate and Zara stayed outside pacing to and fro. The doctor was called in and after a while he came out. “ ma'am is my sister okay?” Kate spoke up.“Please you both should come to my office” Doctor Susan said and left for her office with Kate and Zara following suit. They got in and the doctor ushered them to sit.“Your sister, she is out of danger you were lucky to have gotten her here on time, she had an episode but this seems worse what happened?” Doctor Susan asked facing the girls.“I don't know doctor,I just woke up to see her shaking on the bed” Zara sniffed. “If you can r
“What the fuck!” Alex growled. Jace turned with a questioning look, “someone took a picture of me and posted it on the internet again” he angrily said and Jace took a glance, it was a side photo of him coming down from the plane. “But that's impossible,how the hell did the unknown person got to know we would be coming tonight? Our trip was discreet” Jace mutters in confusion but loud enough for alex to hear.“I don't fûcking care, everytime we are in L.A this happens and it has to stop.I just have to figure out who that motherfucker is and have he or she dealt with” Alex said his hold on his phone tightens.The remaining drive to the penthouse was complete silence.—--------- “This is just the beginning Alexander, am gonna bring you down” the man chuckled darkly whilst looking at his phone, it was the trending news of the youngest billionaire with the headlines CEO of AJ styles returns to the states after his father's death.“I just need to find some kind of weakness to wreck you co
“Who's there?” Debbie asked getting all sweaty,she couldn't help but be drawn to the voice. She moved closer to see a manly figure shaking. He was facing the walls so she couldn't see his face.“I didn't do it, please stop leave me alone!” Alex cries to himself dragging his hair and cutting himself. Debbie fearfully shifts backwards but stood wondering why he was acting unstable.“Hey,just calm down okay you are fine” Debbie said softly moving closer to him having no idea why she's doing this.Surprisingly Alex calmed down just by her words. He took deep breaths and turned to see who spoke to him.“He looks like he is in so much pain,his entire clothes and hair disheveled, is he sick?” Debbie questions within her. “Are you okay?” she asked their eyes locked on each other taking in on their appearance.Alex didn't say a word, he just walks away leaving Debbie all by herself. “Well that was rude”Debbie hissed getting upset and she left the balcony.She went back to the hall to see that
Confused Debbie tried to squeeze herself through the tiny space left, since Alex's muscular frame is blocking the way. “Move” Debbie's voice came out rapsed.And she made to take the second step when she slips and a hand grabs her and slams her to his chest hard! Before she could land on the floor.She gasps at the force and opens her eyes to meet Alex's dark gaze on her.“Thhankk youu” Debbie stutters at their closeness but Alex remains silent.“What were you doing at my company?” Alex questions ignoring her gratitude. Debbie moves backwards “I followed my friend there, she had an interview” she replied adjusting her gown.Alex drops both hands into his pants pocket “ The rooftop is for employees only, why were you up there?” he further asked. Debbie clears her throat feeling embarrassed “ I lost my way to the restroom, but what happened to you?” She inquired.Alex gaze darkens and he left without saying anything else leaving puzzled Debbie to herself. “He just left, again?.Who does
He shut his eyes as those events replay in his head. He wasn't feeling like himself but still he remains stoic and finally got to his mother's door. He exhales, and knocks “ who is it?” Her voice asked.He remains quiet and knocks again “ who is it? Can't you speak?” She queries getting irritated. After what felt like an hour, Alex still standing by the door finally speaks “ it's me mother, Xander” he voiced out.The door opens immediately, Mrs Jefferson comes out shock clearly visible on her face. Looking at her son whom she hasn't seen in years. Her entire body fills up with happiness. She hugs her son like never before,it felt like eternity since she saw her boy “ My boy,my Xander am so happy to see you” she said amidst her tears. Hugging her back he said “It's okay mom, am here now please stop crying” he cooed. “ Where's Jace?” Mrs Jefferson asked. “ I'm right here aunt” Jace grins walking closer to them, hugging her as well. “How have you been doing aunt? Am sorry about uncle.
Alex's Room“Why can't I get her out of my head, I mean I've never been so affected by a woman before. Why is she so special?” Alex battles with his thoughts.A knock on his door jolts him out of his reverie, wondering who that could be. He got out of his king-sized bed walking towards the door and opens it “ Mom, what are you doing here?” He asked, a bit surprised.“ So I can't come to your room anymore huh?” Mrs Jane asked as she walks in. Her eyes scanning the entire place and she smile. “This room has been kept clean for years” she said.“ No mom, I'm just surprised that you are here. Yeah it's like I never left everything is still the same ”Alex replied, a flicker of sadness in his eyes.“ So I came here because I need to tell you something” she said a bit shakened, getting Alex's attention “ Your father's burial is tomorrow,we have made all the arrangements” she rushed her words.“What? Why so fast? Why are you just telling me now mom?” His voice cracked, he could feel his hea
“Dan it's me, kate, your baby sister.” Kate said,her voice cracked and full of emotions. She couldn't help but wonder why her own flesh and blood loathes them. “I said you both should leave!, how tf did you even get my house address, just get out!” Dante said angrily, his veins threatening to burst out of his forearm as he tightens his fist on the door knob.“Kate let's leave,we are not needed here” Debbie said, holding Kate whose eyes are brimming with tears. “ we won't make the mistake of coming here ever again.” Debbie walks out with Kate by her side.Debbie gaze at her sister and her heart squeezed in hurt,she feels every pain but she has to stay strong for her sister.“Kate please stop crying, you don't shed tears for someone who doesn't want to have anything to do with us.” she said softly, pulling her in for a hug.“Let's just go home.” Debbie said.—--------------“As we gather here, for the final rites of Mr Bill Jefferson.” The priest said, glancing at the crowd present on
“ Candice, where's Kate?” Camile asked, holding onto his shirt. He sighed and she glanced behind him, her eyes caught Kate being carried by Thaddeus.She withdrew her hand and moved closer to the duo “ oh my God, what happened to her?” She quivered unable to grasp the mishap, her friend looked lifeless and stained in blood.“ We should get to somewhere safe” Thaddeus suggests, putting Kate in the backseat of Candice's car. They drove swiftly out of the school.Candice carried Kate in his arms and into his house, heading straight for his room “ I'll call the doctor” Camile informed. “ You can leave now, she's safe here.” Candice said curtly whilst shooting a glare at Thaddeus.“ I'm not leaving till she's awake” he retorted, “ Suit yourself but not in my house” Candice dragged him by the collar and pushed him outside.“ What happened?” Cole asked right after the drama, “ The hunters, they attacked and Kate encountered one of them tonight.” He responded.“ Shit! Is she badly hurt?” Sho
Debbie has her legs folded to her chest with her hands wrapped around her, she rocks herself back and forth, staring into space.Just when she thought, everything was right and in place, the one thing that made her feel sane and normal, was caught on fire. She sighs tiredly allowing her tears flow freely down her cheeks, every hardwork thrown into the mud, she might as well slit her wrist this very fûcking minute.She leans on her couch, glancing at every object in her small home, recalling how she started, from a scared little girl with the responsibilities of a parent. At that time, She only knew doctor Susan and she was familiar with rare cases like hers, she offered Debbie the best care and support while every other individual saw her as a burden. Being such a stubborn child, she didn't give in easily, she relapsed several times, went into the emergency room like a daily routine just to be revived, even therapy until the sudden revelation of paintings.She could be in a room for
The school bell rings, jolting Kate out of her daydream “ I shouldn't be here” she mumbled, regretting her decision on leaving Debbie alone.She received a call from Camile about an impromptu test, it's something she couldn't afford to miss as it covers her grade for the semester.“ Hey, that guy has been staring at you” Camile said, gesturing with her eyes to the opposite direction.Kate glances and swiftly looks away “ it's Thaddeus or whatever his name is, remember the day I told you someone almost raped me” She whispers.“ Too bad he made such a move on you, he just entered my trash list and he looks so hot. Such a disgrace” Camile shakes her head.“ He's coming!” Camile informs her, “ Hi Kate” he stood in front of her but maintained a safe distance so as not to frighten her.Kate remained mute and looked around, the class is filled with students, there's no way he would make a move on her. She eased up a bit.“ I'm sorry about that night, I was drunk and stupid.” he cursed, Kate
“Tyson?” Jace repeated, “ I know you both have had your differences but..” he paused, tracing Alex's eyes to the door.“ Why are you here?” Alex questioned, definitely didn't expect to get an odd visit from a not so friendly opponent.“ Oh wow that's my cue to leave but…” he sighs deeply “ Not until we discuss the reason for my arrival. The tension right here is palpable, did I come in at the wrong time?” Tyson asked staring at the two men upfront.“ You could have sent an email or your assistant” Alex raise a brow at him. Tyson chuckles “ Well yeah but nah I wanna be here in person” his lips curved up in a smirk. “ I got the award for the best historical attire of the year” he announced waving the sculpture-like silver award.“ You came all the way here, just to showoff? Are you that jobless?” Alex asked, a bit pissed at the moron. “ You can have that piece of shit, that ain't an award. Why don't you aim higher, huh?” “ Award to the best craftsmanship in clothing, I've won for eve
“ Why wouldn't you just leave me alone” Debbie grumbles in her sleep, still the loud bang on her door persists. Grumpily she walks up to the door and unlocks it, the sudden force startling her “ Can't I get some sle..” her remaining words got stuck in her mouth. “ How'd you guys get here?” She asked, staring shockingly at Kate and Zara as they look at the room in admiration. Kate glares at her but ends up shrieking in excitement. ‘ overly dramatic’ Debbie thought inwardly whilst shaking her head. “ Seriously, Is that how you welcome us?” Zara asked, raising an eyebrow at her. “ Gosh sis, you didn't feel the need to tell me you and Mr Alex were a thing?” Kate pouts, “ I've been drooling the minute I saw the front gate, you're cat walking in a lot of money here. The only problem is that you don't catwalk” she sighs. “ Yeah I also wanna know why you didn't tell me, I'm your best girl Debs” Zara interjects, her shoulder sagged in disappointment. “ You just left us unannounced last ni
Alex is seated in his office. It has just been for emergency, In cases whereby he can't go to the company. He just do all of his paperwork in this office right in the penthouse. The black blinds shifted at each corner as he looks through the windows and onto the busy road of L.A ( Los Angeles).He sighs deeply, not from all the hooting, but the clock ticking and yet no news of Debbie's awake.Jace who has been quiet and observant at Alex's straight face for almost an hour “ She's going to be okay. You could look like you careless with others but not with me. I know you, you're worried and concern. What if she ends up like your father” he spoke.Alex shifts his gaze shooting daggers at him with his stares. “ Christ, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that you might be having such thoughts. Now quit glaring at me” Jace scoff.“ What was she doing with those goons so late? And with just a nightwear” Jace mutters.A nurse step in, her head bent “ Sir, I just came to inform you that
Kate, where did Debbie run off to?” Zara asked, staring at the wide open door.“ I've no idea, but she didn't look happy at all” Kate glanced at the same direction.“ Yeah, she looked frightened we should go find her now” Zara said hastly grabbing an extra coat for Debbie as they moved out of the house.“ Please, just answer” Debbie pleads, her eyes brimming with tears as she glance at her phone. “Dammit!” She voiced out in frustration, still no response.She walks down the street barefooted and shaking visibly from all the chilly winds coming her way, she cursed recalling how she left with just her nighties. Debbie looks around her and shudder at the unfamiliar dark route.“ Shit I think I took a wrong turn, maybe I should just head back” she mutters to herself, wrapping her arms across her shoulders.A whistling sound caught her attention, she turned and gasped at the men whose eyes couldn't stop staring at her body.“ Ouuu la-la, tonight just got better. I thought I was gonna go ho
“ What's wrong kate?” Candice asked, sensing the distress in her voice. He moves to the edge of the bed flipping the switch on just by the bedstand.She got pissed upon seeing Candice, lifting herself off the bed “ You fuckin prick!” She roared, if eyes could kill Candice memorial service could have be held at this very moment. “ Can't you just stay away from me, you're just so shameless. Yet you accuse me of being a slut when you're a man whore!” She raises her voice.“ I'll not be insulted by someone who walked into my room willingly. You wanted to give your body to me as a peace offering, hmm?” He countered back, his eyes twitched in anger.Of course he was angry, he has every right to be. She knows absolutely nothing about him and yet make such vile comments. Yes, he's a flirt and yes he's a man of many many ladies. But he has never taken advantage of their advances.“ Your room, but Camile said the room was empty” she said lowly.“ You walked into the wrong room dammit, so it's
As fast as lightning they parted, Debbie's hair on her hand stood at alert. “ That was my first kiss! Douchebag!” She screamed inwardly.“ Shit, I messed up that wasn't the plan. But fûck she taste like candy what if we actually went further. What's happening to me? No willpower” Alex scolded himself.They stood transfixed as the air grow thicker, reminiscing on the bothering yet addicting moment. Long excruciating minutes past.“ Seriously, the silent treatment? No form of intimacy did you forget? I thought that you were a man of your word” slightly annoyed Debbie said.I mean the man and being quiet whenever he's around her, at least he should apologize or just say something! Instead he messes with her head.He sighs “ It's just a peck and you wanted it, don't try to act like a saint. But yeah I shouldn't have breached the contract, don't worry it won't happen again. I'll be keeping a safe distance” he states, grabbing his blue shirt from the couch.Debbie felt like something she ha
