Louis went to bid the rest guest goodbye, he sat on one of the chairs trying to make sense with everything that just happened, if what Shakar was saying had any truth Elizabeth wouldn’t have the look she did in her eyes. She was scared and he was sure he saw right, Coco walked up to him in her pajamas.“Dad!” she called out with a bright smile, Louis immediately smiled back before picking her into his arm. “Are you ready for bed love?” he asked.“Yes”“Let’s have dinner first, you can bring food to your sister as well” he voice knowing Maria and Elizabeth need to talk. Coco nodded as they proceed to the food stand.“Mom?” Lizzy called out with her voice shaking, her tears were on the verge of fall but she knew she had to hold back.“I’m going to ask you this question just once Lizzy and I want an honest answer” she spoke without looking at her daughter who was dying a few minutes ago.“Tell me, how did you, fall into the pool?” she questioned not minding Lizzy’s feeling.The tears Li
The next morning, Coco was already up, Lizzy woke up to an empty bed. She couldn’t believe she actually had a goodnight sleep because of her little sister, Coco didn’t give her room to think about her problems. The little angel had cuddled her tightly like a stuffed animal. Thinking about it brought a smile to Lizzy’s face. She stood to her feet, taking a deep breath before getting ready for the day, her mother was someone she actually didn’t want to see but she couldn’t be in her room all day when Coco sacrificed her school day just to spend the night with her. She washed up and got dressed, stepping out of her room gave her chills. She took a step back as she replayed her struggling to get out of the water yesterday.She opened her eyes but could still here the water rushing into her system through every possible entry point, “Lizzy!” Coco’s voice rang through the hallway, Lizzy immediately opened her eyes to sees Coco in a cute apron which had a lot of stains on it, it made her wo
Not quite long after Shakar stepped out, Coco rushed in with Maria – she was at the verge of tears but they were both surprised to see Elizabeth was standing on her feet, dressed and ready to leave for school.“Lizzy are you okay, Coco rushed to inform me that you were sick.” She spoke not knowing how to address the issue.“I’m perfectly fine, as you can see there’s nothing wrong with me.” She answered.“But you were shaking” Coco’s voice echoed making the two ladies realize she was still standing there. Elizabeth gestured to Coco to come, she let go of Maria’s hand and walked towards Lizzy.“Coco, I’m sorry for scaring you. I honestly didn’t mean to, yes I was ill but I’m fine right now see, I can even go to school and the outfit you chose is badass” she added, making Coco smile.“I don’t like it when you fall sick” she voiced“I know and I’m sorry, forgive me?”“Of course I do” Coco replied before hugging her. Maria couldn’t say anything as she just watched the girls, Lizzy picked h
Elizabeth sat down surprised as her friends gave her a full 30 minutes lecture on who Shakar was in school, his personality was quite different from what he portrayed at home.At home he seemed a little bit quiet and reserve to himself but if she had learnt anything from what Caro had been telling her for the past 30 minutes, Shakar was a complete King at school. He was the top student in his department, he had women rushing all over him due to his handsome features which Elizabeth could not even see, some people wanted to be around him for his status and other people for his publicity, of course his dad was one of the richest men in New Jersey. “He’s so rude to anyone he doesn’t like including the teachers and they can’t do anything about it” Kyle spoke, just like Caro, Kyle’s family also had a history with the school.“His group of friends, honey, are known as the ‘HIRK’” Caro voiced.“What’s that?”“Handsome intelligent rich kids” Kyle replied“Nobody, I mean absolutely nobody ca
Elizabeth thought she was at home, the comfort from the class caused her to bury her head deep down into her books, it had been 30 minutes already and Lizzy had no idea that the campus last announcement for closure was made, school was over. Shakar was waiting furiously by the car as the driver had come to pick them up and Lizzy was nowhere to be found, Shakar actually had the mind of leaving her behind but one thing stopped him, the lecture he was going to receive from his father if he did not show up with Elizabeth and that was something he did not have a strength for today. Definitely not today, he didn't care but he was willing to do anything to avoid his father talks, he could lecture him about the whole world just because of one incident, he wasn’t ready to give Elizabeth such privileges. “Hello?” a voice called out in front of Elizabeth. He lifted up her head wondering where the voice came from in her room, a man who was standing by the door slowly approached her with a smile
Shakar stood still, he couldn’t believe that Lizzy had the audacity to question him. He was here wasting his precious time he could have used studying to convince her to go home with him, Jace on the other hand was silent, he was watching the scene in front of him unfold, he was curious to know who Lizzy was to Shakar.Everyone at school knew about his father’s remarriage but they didn’t know he had a step sister. Shakar without second thought grabbed her things from the table and shoved them into her bag, he also grabbed her hand tight ready to drag her out himself.“Let go” Lizzy cried out trying to break free from him but Shakar held unto her tightly. He was tired of her bullshit and didn’t care if she was getting hurt.“She said let her go” Jace finally broke his silence holding Shakar’s arm, separating him from Lizzy, he stared at Shakar whose anger increased, Jace was beginning to get to him but he made a promise to his late mother never to fight.“None of this is your business,
Lizzy was so excited as the weekend drew closer, she was really getting tired of the school drama.All through the week she had one person either trying to shove a camera in her face, questioning her about how she got the two hottest boys on campus to fight over her or what her relationship with Shankar was. She slammed the door to her locker in frustration.“I don't think hurting the locker's feelings would make you feel better" a very familiar voice spoke, a voice that brought a smile to Lizzy’s face.Jace stood beside her with a bright smile, he had on a tennis sport shorts and a t-shirt. Lizzy couldn't help but blush as she looked at him.“I'm just a bit exhausted with everyone, all week it's been one question or the other and I'm sick of it." she voiced trying to look at his face so not to give him the idea that she was shy."The gossip in this school actually takes time to die down" he spoke watching her struggle to keep a steady gaze."Yes I noticed" she placed her bag across
Elizabeth couldn't believe her eyes as she stared at Coco lying on the floor, her legs made their way to her body.'"Coco!" She cried, falling to her knees by the little girl."Help!" She screamed, everything around felt unreal. A rush of emotions hit her, as well as a lot of questions, was she dead? "Please Coco" she whispered under her breath as she knelt down beside her sister."Help!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.Her voice echoed across the room but nobody came to her aid, It suddenly felt like the whole house was empty."Help me please" she cried as tears rolled down her face.She carried Coco in her arms as she raced outside, she had no idea what else to do but she knew Coco had to get to the hospital and fast.Elizabeth was barely outside the door when she felt like she ran into something hard yet soft."Coco?" She could here Louis worried voice Not minding what was going on and how it happened, Louis grabbed his daughter and hurriedly got to the car. Maria and Lizzy
The day ended, Elizabeth was back in her room, her back flat on the bed with her eyes staring at the ceiling trying to think only happy thoughts; she had a wonderful time with her friends but she was sacred to tell them about everything that was going on with her. She didn't want them to worry about her.She let out a sigh waiting for her dad to call back as he promised he would.Elizabeth tried not to think about what had happened in the past few days, this was just a distraction, a way for her to be happy, she pulled out her phone and began to go through the pictures they took. A smile appeared on her face.But what distracted her was different, there was a knock on her door causing Elizabeth to turn towards the door."Yes?""Hey Lizzy it's me, can I come in for a moment" Louis's voice could be heard."Yes come in, the door is opened" she replied quickly sitting up right.The door popped open r
The smile on Elizabeth’s face out weighed all the feeling of pain she felt, she had been out with both Caro and Kyle as usual. They made her forget her worries, they went to the amusement park.“Hell no, I would not be going on another rollercoaster with the both of you” Kyle voiced as he sat down to get over the nausea he was having, he could feel his head spin.“Oh come on, stop whining like a man-child we only rode one” Caro scoffed handing him a plastic bag to do his business in.“You know what, I’m starting to feel you have fun watching me suffer, don’t you think so Lizzie?” He spoke turning to Lizzy who was busy patting his back and holding back her laugher so she didn’t offend him.“I don’t think I need to get in between whatever this is” she chuckled.“Wow, great! Let’s all remember the day I was brutally stabbed in the back by two of the people I love so dearly” he spoke dramatically wiping his fake tears.“Oh please, if I would ever stab you it would never be at your back bu
The next morning Elizabeth made her way out of the house, it was the last place she wanted to be in. Luckily for her, Kyle and Caro had already prepared another beautiful hang out.Maria on the other hand was home with Coco as it was a Saturday, they both decided to arrange Coco’s room.Coco helped by picking out the clothes that were of no use to her, Maria organized the room.“Mommy?” Coco called out, Maria shifted her attention to her little girl.“Yes sweetie, what’s wrong?” She asked“Do you hate Lizzy?” She asked the question that had been bugging her since the previous night. Maria couldn’t believe her ears, she wondered why such question would be asked by Coco“No honey, I love her. What makes you think I hate her?” Maria asked.“Umm you always argue with her, you also yell at her, you make her cry.” She explained from her observation.“Sweetie come here” she called out, Coco stood to her feet making her way towards Maria who lifted her off the ground and placed her on the bed
Elizabeth stared at her self in the mirror all she could hear was the accusations from her very own mother, tears ran down her face but she quickly wiped them from her face. She proceeded to putting on her trousers before throwing a hoodie over her head, with a last stare at the mirror she was off.The entire house was silent, it was the big silence after the storm but at this point Lizzy didn’t care if anyone had seen her, she was ready to be a rebel.She successful got outside without anyone’s notice, hailing a taxi and she was on her way. Lizzy got to the address she was giving, without hesitation she made her way in, it was one of Jace’s family guesthouse, she informed the receptionist of her arrival and was directed to area where Jace was, he was sitting by the pool; the view was beautiful, the light underneath the pool gave it a glowing look.Lizzy took a sit beside him, she could clearly see he was confused as to why he was called over by her.“Are you okay?” he asked adjusting
Shankar walked into his room with a big smile on his face, he has scored another point and just a few more he was going to get them out of his life; he turned on the lights to his room. He sat on the bed with his eyes wandering to the picture sitting on his table beside his bed, it was a picture of his family. They all had a big smile in the picture which made him miss him mother even more.“Don’t worry Mom, just a little longer and they would leave. I would never allow anyone take your place here” he voiced.“I don’t think mom would be happy with what you’re doing” a calm voice spoke from the door; Shankar was engrossed in his thought that he did notice the angel standing in front of him. He lifted his head to see his baby sister.“Coco, what are you doing just standing there?” he asked extending his hand to her but she ignored him as she took a seat on his bed. He could notice the tears in her eyes.
Kyle got down from Caro’s car, his face immediately turned sour as he saw the blue Lamborghini parked in front of their home; “Are you okay?” Caro asked noticing his hesitation to go in. “Yeah I’m fine just going to miss you” he voiced with a beam, Caro nodded rolling up her window as she drove away. Kyle reluctantly walked into the house.“Kyle honey where have you been” his sister asked, Kyle took a pause turning to her, he was aware that she was going to feed him to the dogs if he walked out on her.“I was out with my friends” he replied. His eyes went towards the young man sitting beside his sister, Derrek.“But you promised to be home, Derrek’s family was coming over” she questioned, Derrek was his sister’s boyfriend, he hated him since the very first day he introduced him to the family.“Sorry, my friend was in a bad place and I needed to be there for her” he explained hoping this would get him off the hook.“Kate, you did teach him how to be thoughtful and care about his frien
Jace didn’t say a word, he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her and making her feel safe, he wished he could take away her pain because he hated seeing her this way. After a few minutes of consolation, Lizzy broke the bond between them; She returned to her curled-up position.“Elizabeth” he called out, he wasn’t sure what he would say to make her feel better, “I know you don’t want to talk but I want to know what’s wrong?” he spoke softly trying not to be pushy but Lizzy just stared at the floor, at this point she really needed to talk to someone about Shankar but Jace wasn’t the right person. What exactly was she going to say to him, that she allowed her brother kiss her or that she enjoyed every bit of it and wanted more or she was disappointed that he decided to play with her?“Talk to me, I’m listening” he reassured her.Lizzy was aware that he wasn’t going to stop asking until she tells him something. “I fell while coming out of the bathroom and some seniors saw and made fun
After Shankar walked out, Lizzy couldn’t find the strength to pick herself up from the ground where she had collapsed on, her tears ran nonstop, this was nobody’s but Maria’s fault; she wished she was old enough to pick who she could stay with. Lizzy was starting to miss her father, she needed him in her life at this point. Lizzy was suffering due to her mom’s selfishness, maybe It was better if only she wasn’t born, her mind voiced questions that she wished she could answer. She was too busy with her problems that she didn’t realize that a couple of girls were about to enter the restroom.Her thoughts were brought back to the room due to the sound of the door opening up, Lizzy stood to her feet almost immediately trying to hide in one of the stalls but it was already too late as the group of girls bust into the restroom giggling.The giggling stopped when they laid their eyes on her, Lizzy covered herself tightly wishing the ground could open up and just eat her up. “Look who we have
Elizabeth was battling with her mind but her body was betraying her making her wonder why? This wasn’t Jace but Shankar, the same person who was trying to make her life a living nightmare but here she was tongue tied together with him. Shankar’s hands started progressing down her face into her cleavage, somehow his fingers found their way into her shirt, and they brushed over her nipples.Elizabeth was shocked as she moaned, a smirk formed on Shankar’s lip as the kiss continued.Lizzy could feel herself wanting more of him, she pressed her body against his, they were both breathless but no one agreed to disconnect from the kiss, Lizzy wrapped her arms around him closing whatever space was left between them both. Shankar took the opportunity to start unbuttoning her shirt, leaving her bra and breast on display; Lizzy loved the feeling this was giving her but before anything else could register into her head Shankar pulled away from her causing her to whine missing the contract.He took
