Annabel and Samantha moved out of the room and took the stairs.
Half way through it ,they met Mrs Longworth ,a lady was behind her , she was carrying a box ."I am sorry for not informing you before hand ,but , I'm glad you made it here "Mrs Longworth said.
"it's okay ma'am the lady replied.Annabel paused on the stairs with Sam and glanced at her mom .
Mrs Longworth smiled when she also saw her then introduced the lady behind her."This is the make up artist ,she will be in charge of your make overs "Mrs Longworth said and Annabel furrowed her brows.
The make up artist taught she was angry because she came late and quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry for not coming earlier "she apologized.
Annabel just nodded and turned to her mother ."Samantha already did the make over for me ,you don't have to worry" she explained."That's just a little touch up,Ana .You can't call that a makeup "her mom replied and Annabel snorted.
The hairdresser was done in styling Annabel's hair . Samantha placed a mirror infront of her .Her hair was styled in curly wave ....She looks really beautiful. Her looks changed totally .Since she insisted on wearing the band ,it was dipped in the middle of her hair and it also seems to add to her beauty glamorously ...it made her look like a high school Barbie.She also looks like she just stepped out of a beauty magazine.Her demeanor softened and her mother smiled at her lovingly .This my daughter!"What are you ladies still doing , it's almost time "Mr Longworth asked impatiently from the stairs ."oh !, we are all done ,darling "Mrs Longworth replied him ."Samantha, you will accompany my baby to the show""Annabel darling stand up it's almost time "Mrs Longworth said and started walking towards the door.Annabel stood up and started walking away with

You guys should wait here . Besides,we can't show up in front of her together ,it will be suspicious "The guys grunted out .."Fine !" Kyle sighed and they waited for him while he walked in deeper.Meanwhile ,Annabel was walking through the lobby with the guards ahead of her.Darrel came bumped into them and he smirked."Miss Annabel " he called.Annabel recognized his voice immediately. He walked into her view more closer and she gasped.It's Darrel.What is he doing here?"Step back young man "the guards tried stopping him."Leave him .Go wait for me outside "Annabel said and the guards turned to look at her.
Annabel stared at her and at the place she was shot and that seems to get her whole IQ back into functioning."Samantha "She shrieked more loudly.The glasses kept shattering down because of how careless the shooter was firing.All this this seems to happen so fast .The guards that were waiting for Annabel quickly drew out their guns and traced where the bullets where coming from and started shooting back .All her fans that was waiting for her were all running Helter-skelter.Harry and the other guys ran to their cars hurriedly without glancing back at each other.Mia, who has just woke up after fainting because of the sound from the firing looked around, confused about the whole thing .What the hell is going on.She saw people running around and an alarm shrilled in her head.Her role model!.Was all she could think of at that moment .She seems to have forgotten her is Annabel, the girl which

Look, Sam got shot,all because of me "I stated as I watched the guard walked to the house with Samantha."It will be okay .You don't have any scratch on your body, right ? she asked and I nodded."Yeah . The shooter killed three of the guards brutally ,I wish I could do something "I sobbed quietly."It's okay"Mom replied and pulled away from the embrace .She grabbed my hand and kissed it."I and your dad will look for the shooter and take him down ,I promise"she said.I nodded and glanced at dad .He was busy making some calls.I sighed and started moving in with mom by my side.We
Annabel's povThe doctor has finished treating Samantha's wounded area when I entered."Doctor, how is she ?" I asked as I walked over to the bed she was laying on .Seeing her in this state makes me feel so bad about myself.She got injured because she saved me."Thankfully , the bullet didn't affect her shoulder that much ,all she needs now is to rest and I be already gave her a sedative injection ,so, she's fine now "he turned to me and replied.I nodded and took her hand in mine then rubbed it smoothly."I will be on my way now "the doctor said and I turned to him."Alright , thanks""Yeah"the doctor replied and left.I sighed and sat beside Samantha on the bed.I touched her forehead so as to feel her temperature and it was normal.I watched her until she slept soundly and left her room after some minutes.I bumped into a maid and she quickly bowed when she saw me."Good evening , ma'am "she

Annabel's pov#At the cafeteriaI placed my tray on the table and Darrel looked up at me."What are you doing here ?" he asked and glanced at the guards standing behind me." Why are you sitting here alone and why didn't you call me so that I wouldn't have along with my body guards on my way here ?" I asked instead.He gazed down at his food and picked it with the spoon."Why are you ignoring me ?"I asked and sat down on the chair , opposite him .He still didn't talk.I sighed and collected the spoon from him , "Now , what the hell are you up to ,why are you acting this way towards me , it's really annoying"He scoffed and stared at me."You are the one annoying here , Annabel .I didn't expect you to keep such thing from me "he said angrily and nabbed his spoon from me."What thing?"

Epilogue ~One month later~I entered the living room and glanced around looking for Darrel. It has been a month already .

I yelled out but it turned into a muffle instead because I was gagged with a tape.Instantly , there was a black out.Huh?.I strained my eyes in the darkness , trying to see if I can detect anything.Where are they?."What the fuck !" I heard the guy cursed angrily."Darrel?" I muffled and started whimpering.Oh! lord have mercy on your daug

I interrupted him."How many times do I have to tell you , you can't see her at the moment , she's very...""Bullshit !, bullshit man, just tell me , okay?"I ranted angrily.This has always been his reply everytime I come here to ask for Annabel.She hasn't been in school for weeks now and I can't even reach her.I was damn worried that something might have happened.Damn worried.And, it's not possible that she cut me off line, it's impossible.Minutes later ,a deep voice sounded from the inside ."Who's there" the voice asked.He came to view and I recognized him to be one of

I muttered.Every single thing.I closed the curtains and walked to the bathroom .I opened the tap and stretched my hands under the pouring water and rubbed it again each other.I sprinkled some water on my face and look at myself in the mirror.We're leaving.we're leaving here .For a moment ,I saw the mirror smiled sadly at me and said it will also miss me .Gosh!.I held my head in my hand and moved back inside the room.

When I still under their bullies and when I pooed in my panties when they bullied me one day and I didn't actually thought there would be a camera.God have mercy!."Annabel, c'mon . Tell me who did this "Darrel demanded angrily.I shook my head and placed my hand on my mouth and tears poured out of my eyes.Darrel sighed and brought his hand to his head then brought it back then."Let's go to my car" he said after glancing around and seeing the students gaze on us.I nodded and we both walked to where he parked his car in the lots.He opened the door for me and I hopped in then he closed it and went around the car to occupy the driver's seat ."Now , tell me.
