"You look upset dear".maryl glanced at her mother who was staring at her with a concerned look.
"I am fine mom".she then looked around her."where's dad?.he isn't home yet?".
She heard her mother sigh before speaking."your dad already came home but then he received a call about her so he went to meet them".
"So dad still haven't given up?.he is still searching for her?".now maryl was mad at her brother."tell him to stop searching already!.if she could be found,he would have found her".
"You know why your father is still searching for the girl.it's because your father feels responsible for everything that happened".maryl mother says."nolan hasn't been coming home and your father wants him to come home but he can't ask his son to because he isn't brave enough".
"Do you think my brother will come home if dad finds the girl?".maryl asked."is that why he's still searching for her?.so nolan could come home?".maryl didn't understand why her brother wouldn't tell their parents because at least their mind would be at ease.
"That's not the only reason maryl".her mom said."she was part of us,she still is part of us".
"Tell dad to stop searching".
"Your dad isn't the only one searching for her because I am also searching for her too".her mother said.
"Nolan found her already!".maryl burst out.
"What do you mean he found her?".mrs davis asked surprised.
Maryl who had made up her mind to say nothing to their parents when was driving home had accidentally spill the beans."what?".she decided to act fool like she wasn't the one who spoke.
"Don't give me that".mrs davis said frowning."give me the answer to my question".
"Fine".maryl said."but you can't let nolan know that I told you.he will definitely kill me".maryl pleads.
"Spill it already".mrs davis said ignoring her daughter pleas.
"Nolan found her but I don't know when he did because he didn't tell me.i only found out because I saw her after following his assistant".
"Why did you follow his assistant in the first place?".mrs davis asked to which maryl told her excatly what she told nolan.
"That's how Ifound out".maryl finished."I don't know why he doesn't want you and dad to know about this so please can you pretend as If you have no idea that he found her and tell dad to stop the search".
"Your father will ask me why".mrs davis said."and I am not keeping a secret from him".
"So?"maryl asked although she could guess her mom's reply.
"So".mrs davis repeated."I am going to tell him the truth.i won't lie to your father".
"Mom!".maryl groaned."I just said that nolan asked me to keep it a secret".
"Which you couldn't keep".mrs davis reminded her daughter.
"Yes".maryl admitted that it was her fault for accidentally talking."and now you are going to tell dad".
Mrs davis shrugged."no doubt about that".
Maryl nods."alright then.you can start preparing for my burial.i doubt you are gonna have an issue doing that though".she says making her way upstairs to her room.
**********
For some reason I do not know,scott didn't start taking pictures immediately.he would ask us to pose but won't take the pictures.
I was getting tired and frustrated from everything and my partner for the day isn't helping matters at all.the guy keeps staring at me but he won't say anything and sometimes he would glare at me when I did nothing wrong.
"Take a rest everyone".scott said to which I was thankful for but I guess the mute isn't because I heard him groan.i have decided to call him mute.
Just as I sat down,mrs bailey came to me bombarding me with questions."are you okay?.are you hungry?.is there any you want?".
"I am fine and am not hungry yet and I do not need anything".I answered her my eyes focoused on scott."are you sure he's a professional?".I asked her referring to scott.
"Of course".mrs bailey said.she then adds."everyone here is a professional.why do you ask?".
"No particular reason.he just doesn't look like one".I shrugged,my eyes leaving scott and finding the mute guy."is he a mute?".
I could see miss bailey give me a stern look when she realized who it was I was talking about so I quickly add to my words."I am just curious since I haven't seen him open his mouth".
"You don't need to be curious about that".miss bailey said."he is no mute".I am sure she didn't want to but she still answered my question.
"I am confused at your behavior.you walked to me with the guy and even told me not to scare him off but few minutes later you are telling me not to speak to him.you are acting like you hate him and it's a bit supicious".
Miss bailey said nothing to me instead she walked away from me back to where she was standing.i guess that's her own way of running away from the topic but like the girl I am,I wasn't going to back down.
I searched around for my partner and I saw him walking towards the restroom.i stood up and followed him without thinking.i reached the corridor but I couldn't see him and suddenly I was pulled to a corner.
"Why are you following me?".I turn around to see him staring at me but then I realized something.he spoke.
"So you can talk".I said crossing my arms on my chest."I thought you were a mute".
"Answer the question".he said."why have you been following me?".
"You seem to not like me".I have noticed that even though he spoke to no one he didn't ignore them the way he did to me."Can I ask why?".I asked ignoring his question.
"Should I like you then?".he asked slowly walking closer to me while I shift back."answer me bell.should I like you".
The name he called me grabbed my attention so I opened my mouth to speak he spoke again.
"Get away from me bell.i am warning you".he said sternly."the next time wouldn't just end with a warning".he made his statement with his back turned and then he was gone.
*phone rings*Maryl groaned as her beauty sleep has been disturbed,her hands reached out for the phone picking the call in the process. "Hello".her voice was a bit groggy as she wasn't fully awake."You dare to sleep after what you did?".maryl jumped up from the bed the sleepiness gone as she recognized the voice."nolan?"."Am guessing that you didn't even che you picked the call". no matter how sleepily she had been earlier,she could hear the anger in her brother's voice."I..i..it wasn't intentional yes".she fumbled trying to figure out the right words to say."it was a mistake.i swear"."Let's say that it's a mistake mom found out,what about dad?.is that a mistake too?"."That wasn't my doing". maryl quickly say."it's mom.she is the one who told dad.believe me,I didn't". "Whatever".maryl thought she heard him hiss but didn't dare confirm it."So...".she started picking her words carefully."what is going to happen now?"."What do you think?"."I don't know". maryl said."besides wh
"Why did you hide it from us?".mrs davis glared at her son who didn't say anything."is it because we are so unrealiable to you?.is that why?". The whole family members were all present sitting in the living room.mr davis who came back from his work had called for the meeting."It's not like that". nolan said.he could feel an headache coming soon."Or you still blame us for the incident?".mrs davis said."it has to be one of the two reasons otherwise I can't understand why you hid it from us".Mr Davis who hadn't spoken suddenly called his wife name."Martha".he said nothing more but his wife understood him."Fine".martha said."let's hear what he has to say".Nolan stared between his dad and mom for their expression,when he noticed that they were calm,he decided to speak."it's true that I have found her".he stopped waiting to see if they would speak but when they didn't he countinued."she doesn't recognize me though"."Huh?".maryl said immediately receiving a glare from her brother whic
"Finally home".Ben says as his body flops on the couch.he could finally rest. One might think he was alone but he wasn't the only one in the room.Seated crossed legged is a lady who appears to be at the same age as him."babe"."What?".the female sounded irritated."Am home"."I can see that"."No hugs or kiss?". complained Ben."you are just gonna sit with all your attention on your phone?". seeing as she gave no response,he called her name."Emma"The female raised her head when she heard her name.she notices the glare she was receiving and drops her phone.she stood up and walks to where ben was and sits on his laps."stop glaring"."Give me a kiss then".pouts ben as he draws her closer to him.The female sighs before her lips lands on ben's lip.she meant to peck him but as soon as their lips met,ben turned their position as he was now stranding her and kissed her passionately.The two continued to kiss while ben's hands were moving all over her body.the kiss lasted for a while as nei
"Erica".even with my back turned towards her,I could figure out the person who said my name.I do not need to look to know who was standing there."miss bailey".I said as I turned to face her remembering that I hadn't answered her."How are you doing?".she asks as she moves closer to me."Good".I said with a nod.She said nothing else and just stared at me.i know she still has something to say to me."What?"."Um...is everything okay with you?".she notices my confused looks so she speaks again."well..you left the party early so I was wondering if everything is okay". miss bailey said.So that's what this is all about.I guess that something that I am not aware of is going on."yea".Part of me wish to know what it is but the other part doesn't want to."Why?"."No reason".I shrugged my shoulders."I found it boring so I left besides it was getting late"."Oh".was all she said."Miss bailey"."Yes".she turned to look at me."How did you know that I left early when you didn't attend the par
The day seems to be bad,I already feel like shit from feeling the pains In my stomach and now it seems like I also caught a cold.This is the worst day ever and yet I got a call from miss bailey telling me I have a photoshoot today.Somehow I held in the pain and managed to get to the location."You are here". said miss bailey as she noticed my presence and walked to me."what's wrong?.are you not feeling well?".she wore a concerned look on her face."I'm fine".I said."don't worry about me".I am thankful that she cares about me."let's get started.i want to be done with this".I just this day to be over real quick.I followed miss bailey into the dressing room to get my makeup done while she search for the clothes I would be putting on."Here are your clothes for today.pur them on and then come out". said miss bailey as she drops the clothes on the desk."five minutes".she the walks out of the room.******"Hello brother ". said maryl on the phone with nolan."can you guess where I am righ
'i never thought that this could happen but sometimes the things we least expect always happens.' "ERIKA!!!". "WATCH OUT!!!!".Everything went so fast that before I knew it or could do anything the car had crashed into me,I was already floating on air. 2 1.It took me two seconds to realize what had happened but I was unable to do anything as I fell down.i heard footsteps as someone was running towards me calling my name but I wonder why. I guess that's all I could remember before everything became pitch black............ The bed feels so soft and familiar but I have the feeling that it isn't my bed.i hear voices around me making so much noise that I want to ignore but somehow I couldn't.i open my eyes slowly coming in contact with the blinding lights making me flinch instantly.i immediately close my eyes for few seconds before opening it again,this time I turned my head towards my side. I blink a few times so I could adjust to the lights.i lo
5 years later.Right now,am in dilemma on what to choose.i stared at the pictures in front of me. "What do I choose?".I rub my lip as I rack my brain. There was a knock on the door briefly before it was opened."miss erica".I raised my head so I could look at the intruder. "Miss bailey?".I called staring at the woman standing in front of me in surprise not expecting to see her."what are you doing here?.I thought you were out of the country". "I already came back".miss bailey said smiling at me."I couldn't leave you alone with the work any longer.things might not go well".I chuckled at her words as I realized that she was right."well then I say my thanks". I signed up with a famous agency modeling for them so miss bailey was assigned to be my manager.she makes most of the decision since I wasn't good at making decisions.Honestly, there's not much I am good at except modeling for them. "It's no problem miss erica".she said."what's that by the way?".she asked pointing to the
"It's nice to see you so focused on work".a female voice says as she step in an office staring a man with a face of an ethereal god who was working."Am I the type to be unfocused to you maryl?".he said with his deep voice as he glanced at the female."You know that's not what I meant?".maryl said."these days you are always focusing on something else so..". maryl didn't finish her sentence but her point had been made.The male stared at maryl for a few seconds before he spoke."you must have nothing to do right?"."Oh save me the glare nolan".maryl scoffed."don't use your business tone on me.you know I won't fall for that"."What are you doing here in my office?". nolan asked staring at the female."Is it so wrong to go visit my brother when I miss him?".maryl questioned."is it such a bad thing to do?"."Just because you are my sister doesn't mean that you can barge in to my office anytime you feel like". nolan said."for whatever reasons you have"."So?".maryl looked at her brother thi

"Why do you like you didn't sleep well?".miss bailey commented as soon as she saw me."are you feeling okay?".I could see her give me a concerned look. "I am fine".I assure her hoping to get off the topic.she sighs then smiled at me."Are you ready erica?".she asked.she must have thought that I am not yet ready for the work."Perfectly ready".I said giving her a small smile."you worry too much miss bailey"."How could I not?".she asked."if you don't feel too good,we can skip today and work tomorrow". she suggests. To be honest,her suggestion sounds tempting but pilling up works isn't my specialty besides I don't want to give the workers a bad impression about me."I am okay"."If you say so".she scans the area before she pulled me with her."I will be back so wait for me here,okay?".I nodded at her."alright".I watch as she hesitate to leave.
