Farrell:

Courtney pulled away from the hug, then she stared at me for a while, before placing her hand on my cheek.

"When last did you have a clean shave?" She asked.

I had looked at myself in the mirror, but I barely noticed I looked like shit. Life was taking a toll on me but I had no idea, but it was too easy for her to notice.

"Let's get that cleaned up," she said, and then she took my hand.

She held my hand and walked me out of the study. As we walked down the hallway, my mind flashed back to the time Courtney saw me after Maria passed. I looked like a homeless caveman. My beards were overgrown, and for months I wouldn't speak to anyone. That was when she offered me therapy, and here she was again, rescuing me as if she was my mother.

We got to my room, and she pulled the door open, and we walked in.

"Change, and I'll be with you shortly," she said to me, sitting on my bed. Then I walked to the closet.

I took off my clothes, leaving me in my briefs then I grabbed a towel, and

    Molly:The next day, I dressed up for work as usual. When I was about to leave, I heard Kate on the phone with Larry. As usual I felt a waiver of disgust in my stomach. I left in a hurry because I didn't want to get into any trouble with Larry. I got into a taxi and headed to my workplace.As soon as the taxi stopped in front of the building, I heard my stomach rumble."Here," I said to the driver, and then I gave him the fare money.I decided to make my way down the street to get some snacks, and coffee since I didn't have breakfast. When the taxi left, I made my way across to the coffee shop.I pulled the door open, and the little bell on top rang then I walked in, allowing the sweet smell of the brewing coffee to fill my nostrils. Shutting the door, I walked towards the counter to make my order. "Hello, and how may I help you?" The man at the counter asked with a smile on his face.He looked cute with his uniform, and it made me almost forget what I was there for."Espresso, and t

    Farrell:I was woken up by the chilly feeling of the rotating fan which was tuned to the highest. When I opened my eyes, I lazily grabbed the duvet around, and pulled it over my body. I was about to go back to sleep when I realized the bed felt different. It wasn't as large as the one I had at home, because I rolled a bit, and I was bh the edge.Pulling my eyes open, I was met with a quite familiar environment. I was at Courtney's place– her mother's home to be precise. I sat up at once and tried to remember, then I recalled how I had left in a rush the previous night, and as soon as I got to this place, I passed out on the bed because I was exhausted.While I was still deliberating on getting out of bed, someone knocked on the door."Farrell, it's me Courtney. Breakfast is ready, and I'm checking on you too," she said.The moment she spoke, my stomach rumbled. I needed a warm meal, and sadly this might be my only chance to get one. With a huge sigh, I got out of bed, and made my way

    Farrell:After I received the message from the same number, my food became tasteless. I ate it with the thoughts of killing whoever this person was. Courtney and her mum were conversing with me but I barely paid attention to what they were saying, because all I wanted to do was put multiple bullets in the skull of this person."I think I'm full," I said, pushing away the plate. I had done a great job compared to other days that I barely ate."You are probably in a haste to get your workplace running, but you need to take care of your health," Courtney said with a worried look on her face."I'll be fine," I said."Just like his father," Courtney's mum snapped with a hiss. She shared a special bond with my father, just like Courtney and I, but that doesn't mean I was solely following his steps. I was my own man and I did what I felt was best.Without hesitation, I stood up, and then I thanked Courtney, and her mum. I walked to the living room which was behind me, and then I lifted Lola

    Farrell:"What do you want?" Mich asked with his breath shaky. Seeing him helpless was amusing to me, because a while ago he acted really tough that one would think he could lead a whole army."Not so tough, are you?" I asked, and then I took my hands off him, still clutching my gun. I asked him to face me, and he did so with his hands trembling in the air. With my eyes, I feasted on the terror written all over his face. Then I took out my phone, and shoved it in his face."For someone who goes about sending threat messages, and staging an attack on me, you are a loser," I said."What the fuck are you talking about? Mich has done no such thing!" Cassie yelled, and I turned to her with the gun.I pointed it at her, and she backed up on the wall with her mouth shut."That's what I would love to hear from you, your silence. Speak again, and my hand would slip on the trigger!" I spat.Mich who was still shaken by the outcome of events decided to speak."I didn't do such a thing. I'm not

    Molly:After what Larry said, I didn't know how to act. I was enthusiastic and very much overwhelmed at the same time. Going to a literary function would definitely help my life if I played the right cards.When I was done with my food, I stood up and exited the shop. Then I crossed the road, and stood in front of the office building for a while."Is someone afraid to go to work, or do they plan on resigning already?" I heard Rose's voice from behind, and I looked back to see her standing behind me. She looked beautiful today, and she was wearing a bright red dress which made her skin pop, and her lipstick was spot on. At least something changed in her, I said to myself. I hadn't seen her for about two days, and the first thing she thought about today was to pick on me but I was going to ignore her. With a sigh, I made my way into the building while she trailed behind.I mouthed a greeting to the receptionist then I made my way to the elevator. I knew Rose would want to get in but I

    Molly:"I'm so happy that Larry decided to give you this opportunity. He speaks so well about you, and I'm glad you both are getting along. I thought you would hate him due to the whole Farrell situation," Kate said as I tried to fit myself into the gown for the occasion.The gown was a bit tight on the waist, and I wondered if I would be able to breathe with ease. I couldn't tell if it was lack of oxygen or the way she talked nicely about Larry that made me uncomfortable."Finally!" I exclaimed when the zip by the side got to the top. Then I took Ina huge breath before letting all the air in me out, hoping it wouldn't rip the dress.While Kate whined about her man, the doorbell rang, and we knew it was him. Kate hurried out of the room and ran to get the door but her face was met with disappointment When she saw a man dressed in black.When I walked out and saw the man, my heart skipped a beat, and I was about to slide into defense mode when he spoke."The boss sent me to get Ms. Wat

    Molly:Larry returned exactly about an hour later, and he opened the door that led to my room without knocking. This startled me, and I jumped up in fear, staring at him like I wanted to kill him. He was my boss but he was mannerless, and the saying that the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree was evident because his workers followed in his footsteps."Here!" He said, tossing some paper bags to me.I was curious to know what they were but I was still boiling in anger. He didn't seem to care because he barely looked at my face."You should get ready, because people have started arriving, and I don't want a bad impression on me," he said and then he left.With a great sigh, I opened up the bags, and I saw that they were clothes. He purchased a new gown and it was red, long and flowing. In front there was a slit that would show a greater percentage of my cleavages. The next bag contained nightwear, and then perfumes, jewelry, e.t.c. It was good he listened to me,but that didn't remedy t

    Molly:Pain was the definition of Larry's feeling after the awards were given. I would have laughed but I wasn't a douchebag. The only good thing this did for me and we make him sober, because through the night he was quiet, and it was good seeing him that way.While people were making merry of the evening, Larry and I stood at separate corners drinking. Seeing couples everywhere together made me sad, and I imagined Farrell being with me at the event. This made me gulp more bottles down, but even with the drinking I couldn't forget about him.I took out my phone, and searched for his number then I stared at it for a while. Without much contemplation, I called him. The call went through but he didn't pick. This pricked my heart badly, and I regretted trying. I could imagine him looking down at the phone ringing, and refusing to pick it. A single tear dropped from my eyes, and it would have turned into full blown tears if Larry didn't cut me short."We should leave," he said, and then h

    Molly: I sat on the terrace, taking in the breathtaking scenery, from swaying trees to flocks of chirping birds. Everything was lovely, and it gave me a warm feeling in my chest. I reflected on my life five years ago with my eyes closed. I could have sworn I made the wrong decision with Farrell that night, but the opposite has been true. Everything went swimmingly, except for the fact that my mother died without recognizing me. Rest in peace, sweet soul. But I am grateful for that night at the club and whatever made him magically attracted to me. I was still trying to enjoy the moment when Corduroy let out a piercing scream. I blinked open my eyes and sighed heavily. How could I have forgotten the most exciting, yet stressful, part? Being a mother! “Mummy!”Corduroy called out in a shaky voice, forcing me to stand. I walked out onto the terrace and into the penthouse. Corduroy pushed the door open before I could reach for it, and he looked up at me with teary eyes. As he cried, I

    Molly:*Beginning of flashback*"I'm hungry, and my tummy hurts," I said to Andrew who had just gotten back from work. He signed and made his way up the stairs, brushing shoulders with me."Foolish child," he said, and I muttered a "God bless you,"I didn't think he would hear me, but before I could tell, he yanked me by my hair and flung me on the wall."If your mother won't teach you how to behave then I'll do that. It's my duty as your stepfather to teach you how to respect your elders," he said, and I scoffed.He slapped my cheek, and then pushed me down on the ground. After which he kicked me on my stomach. Then he crouched down close to me, and pressed hard on my jaw."Remember, you can't say a word to your mother if you want her to live," he said to me, and left while I stayed on the cold floor in pain, sobbing silently.My mother usually returned late because she ran her business from morning until late at night. She did all this because Andrew couldn't provide adequately for

    Molly:At first I was dumbfounded when Farrell said those words. I couldn't believe it was finally going to happen. I felt weird for a moment, and I reached out to him when he turned to leave. I walked in front of him, and held his face then looked him in the eyes."You don't have to do this, and…""I have decided to let go of the past, and that is the only way that this would work," he said. "I love you Molly, and I want us to work," he added, and then he kissed my lips briefly, before taking my hand.As we walked down the hallway that led to the room, my heart thumped very fast. I feared what I would see and at the same time I was curious.I felt an in rush of air which left my body with goosebumps as we came to a halt in front of a door. He took out the keys from his pocket, and unlocked the door. As he opened it, I took in a deep breath, and shut my eyes. Then I walked in, and opened my eyes to see a crisp bedroom.At first I was in awe at what I had seen. My room was nothing comp

    Molly:My body trembled in fear as I felt Lola's tiny hands hold mine. I was blind folded so I couldn't see her but I knew that something terrible was going on. She sobbed silently, and I placed her head on my lap."Don't cry, we will be fine," I said to her trying to hush her, but she wouldn't stop."Will mummy die?" She asked, and I felt my heart crumble in multiple pieces.Having to accept that your parents were evil hit different, but then she had to be grateful that Courtney wasn't her real mum. Well she didn't know this yet so it was understandable that she would cry over what was going on."Mummy will be fine, and your uncle will save her," I lied even after I had heard the gunshot, and Courtney who was shrieking in pain.This child was going to suffer a lot of trauma, but I promised myself to take good care of her, because the only place close to home would be Farrell's house, and I wasn't sure he was stable.The door of the room opened after a while, and I heard someone appro

    Farrell:When I got a hold of the gun, I smacked Courtney gently on the face and she fell to the ground then I put the gun in my pocket, grabbed Lola and walked towards the room I heard Molly's voice.Before I could get to it, Courtney jumped on my back, and grabbed hard on my neck. Her hands were obviously weak, and watching her struggle would have been funny in a different scenario."Can't you see I'm trying to save you!" She yelled, and I yanked her off my back.I pushed Lola into the room."Farrell," Molly called out from where she sat with blind folds but I didn't respond, I shut the door, and faced Courtney.The fact she kept acting as if I was in danger and needed help from her made me angry. There was definitely no amount of help that she could offer me at this point."Save me from what? You had one job but each time you were around, you only made me feel worse. I can't believe I failed to realise it until now," "Ingrate!" She scoffed, and then she stood up."Do you know how

    Farrell:"Courtney what is…" I was about to complete my question when I looked away from Lola to see Courtney holding a gun.I became alarmed at once, and I tapped my pocket to see that my gun was gone. I turned around to see if there was anyone behind, and I realized Courtney was actually pointing the gun at me."Come here, Lola," she said, and then Lola shook her head, holding right on my neck.Deep down I wished I could handle the situation better but then I knew that the only way to think properly was to hand Lola over. Lola screamed in fear asI put down at once. "You'll be fine," I said to her as I pushed her over to Courtney who looked blood thirsty. I couldn't understand what was going on, and I didn't want to get violent yet. This had to be a joke because there was no way she would openly threaten Lola with a gun. She loved Lola so much."This has got to be a joke right?" I asked, Courtney and she laughed briefly then she placed her hand firmly on the trigger."Does it look

    Farrell:"Maria!" I screamed, and then I jerked up at once. I looked around to see that I was lying on Maria's bed.The sun had just risen, and I guessed I had slept walk once more but this time it was for a good cause. I stood up from the bed,and walked to her dresser where her combs and everything were still perfectly laid out. I picked one of them, and I found a few strands of her hair on them. "You were really here," I muttered, running my hand on the comb. Suddenly a very gentle breeze swept by, giving me a brief chilly feel that had the hairs on my body standing, and goosebumps sprouting out of my body."Rest in peace, my love," I said with a deep sigh.I felt an inrush of emotions as I did when I met her, but this time I wasn't angry. It felt nice knowing she was in a good place, and all that could have been was terrible so I was grateful that it never happened.They said you couldn't have your cake, and eat it so I took a deep breath, shoving off the emotions that engulfed

    Farrell:After so much contemplation, I grabbed the keys to Maria's room. I made up my mind to keep an open mind. I had to heal from this trauma, or else I would pass it over to my innocent kids who were on the way.When I left my room, I noticed how late it was. Molly crossed my mind, and I hope deep down that she could hold on a little longer until I figured myself out. Quietly, I walked through the long hallway that led to her room. I placed my ear on the door opposite which was were the old lady stayed. I heard her giggle to herself as usual, and I turned around to face Maria's door.I walked to the door, inserted the key, and pulled it open. To my greatest surprise he lights were on, and I heard the shower running."What the?" I questioned myself, slamming the door, and rushing to the bathroom to turn off the shower.The thought that Molly just have been here got me annoyed a bit but then I tried to push it away. I had to push off every little hint of anger. I began to convince
