2021-02-12 23:59:21I gulped and got to my feet. I had thought mother had gone to work. What was she even doing at home? Beats me!
I trekked out of my room and once I was in front of hers, I glanced sideways then back and front before crossing myself and muttering, "Brace yourself, woman."
The moment the last word left my mouth, it reminded me of someone–Jason. Jason was fond of calling me woman and I remembered those days when we used to eat on the same table and when he used to drive us to parties. Speaking of parties, I hadn't been to one in a long time. Maybe Cameron and Maya's wedding would fill in for a party.
What was I doing having unnecessary conversations with myself?
I shrugged and balled my palm into a fist. I knocked on the door and a come in rang out of the door.
Slowly, I pushed the door and let myself in. My head was bent that all I could see was the floor. For the first time, I noticed my mother's room floor was lik

I got to my room and banged it even louder than I banged that of my mother's. I flumped on the bed and buried my head in my arms that were folded above my head.I was upset and it was not the mood I wanted to be in today. How were we going to break the news to her in such a state?My heart felt weird like it was being squeezed by a giant palm. I was tired, everything was too much and even if we looked like a perfect family with no worries, we had issues and I hated that we did, but that was just life throwing lemons at us."Are you okay?" Maya asked calmly, placing a hand on my shoulder.Sitting up with a heavy heart, I hugged my pillow and rested the back of my head on the bed frame."She was asking if I was mentally stressed, like if I was depressed and needed a therapist because-" I halted in my tracks when I felt hot tears brimming in my eyes.I raised my head and stared at the ceiling, trying to blink away

"Mom, are you still in love with Dad?" I questioned and my mother choked on the drink she was swigging from the vita milk bottle."What?" A frown creased her brows and she rubbed her chest, eyes already glossy."Do you still love father?" I repeated my question, my gaze piercing her forehead.I wasn't taught to look my mother in the eye as it was said to be disrespectful."What do you mean by that?" She tilted her head to the side and giggled nervously, narrowing an eye at me."I mean that you love father and you glammed up because of him." I wriggled my brow and she clutched my mouth, staring around to see if my father was lurking around somewhere."Don't say that out loud." She shook me and I made muffled sounds, telling her to let go of my mouth."Ma'am, is everything alright?" A waiter dressed in a suit asked with a napkin lying plainly on his arm."Yes," she said, releasing my mouth and we

I tapped the green answer button and held the phone to my ear, still laughing because of what Bellamy had done earlier."Hi," I said, trying to control my laughter."Where are you?" Tristan asked immediately without saying a hi or hello like he used to."I'm out with my mom and dad." I answered.My laughing seized when I noticed Tristan was serious. His voice was deeper than it used to be and nothing close to fooling around was in the tone he used."Where?" He inquired and I knitted my brows into a frown not understanding what was going on."Magnifico's." I answered. "Are you okay?"A stray of brown hair fell to my face and I made a mental note to dye it butterscotch whenever this family thing was over. Unexpectedly, Bellamy tucked the stray of hair behind my ear and I muttered a thank you."Okay. Yeah, I'm good. See you later." With that, t

"What the hell is this doing in my house?" Mother inquired, anger blazing in her eyes."Mother, it's not what you think." I timidly said and her eyes widened, it wasn't shock, but anger. Never have I seen my mother so angry before."It's what?" She asked, hands Akimbo. "What is this, Jade why do this to me and yourself?""Mother, would you even let me explain what's going on?" I asked."What stupid explanation do you have for testing positive in a pregnancy test?" Horror spread across her face as her eyes became glossy. "Is this why you've been gloomy?""Mother-""No, talk to me. Is that the reason you've been sneaking out and lying? Is this why you've been so distant from your mother?" She rushed to where I was and sat beside me. "Answer me, how did this happen and who is responsible?""I'm no-""Jade, honey?" She cupped my face. "You're my only

Maya tightened her jaw bone so hard I thought she was going to break it. Quickly, she ran out of the room and I was left with my brother and the black head.The girl stared at her fingers like they were suddenly something interesting and she blew air on them, sitting comfortably under my brother's duvet."Who is this?" I pointed a manicured finger at the rat beside him and she rolled her eyes at me. "What?" I moved closer to her, narrowing my eyes into crinkled slits. "Take that fucking eye roll back before I shove my fingers into them.""I don't even know." He held his head and scratched his hair like he was running crazy. "I can't remember shit. I only remember walking out of the house to the... I can't even remember, but I was with someone and then book, this."I shook my head and frowned at my dumb brother. He wasn't making any sense. Did he drink at a party or something?"Who are you?" He directed the question to the no

We met father by the door and get asked some few questions before rushing in to get what he had forgotten.I sat on the passenger's seat of the car and Maya was at the back, still suggesting Lola wasn't the one because it didn't make any sense to her.Lola strode out of the house and cat walked to where I was."It was really bold, dumb and childish of you to come over to my house just to ask me to leave your family alone." She laughed then rested her arms on the opened window of the passenger's seat door. "We're gonna be family soon, remember?"A devilish grin hung at the corners of her lips and my only desire was to punch it off her face, but I didn't. I kept my cool and decided to act like the sensible one."Just leave me alone, okay?" I raised my hands up as if surrending to an officer pointing a gun at me."You are the one that came over to disturb my peace when I did absolutely nothing to you. Well, you're

Frequent headaches were beginning to make me feel like I was going to die soon. The light cascaded into my room from the window and pierced my eyes. It literally pierced my eyes because I could feel my head aching all the way to my left eye and ear.I tried to turn so I could face the other side and not get friend by the sun, but Maya's hand was wrapped around my waist so I turned slowly and took in the sight of my best friend sleeping with her mouth open. She looked pretty even with the saliva running down her cheek.Euw! My subconscious exclaimed. Why the hell was I studying the features of her face when I wasn't Cameron or even her husband? Gross.The headache continued and it was on the verge of splitting my head into two. I winced and massaged the sides of my head for a little bit, hoping it'd stop hurting, but it didn't. It constantly felt like my head was being stabbed with a pitch fork.

I hesitated and took my head up to glance at my mother's face before averting my eyes to the test result that I didn't have the balls to read."It says-it says." I stammered and struggled to swallow doesn't the big lump in my throat."Give it to me, you." Mother snatched the paper from my hands and adjusted on her seat to read it. "Enough with the suspense, young woman."She cleared her throat and scanned the words on the paper with her eyes before speaking."It says you're negative." Mother announced.I heaved a sigh of relief and lazily leaned back on the chair with my hand clutching my chest to stop my heart from combusting."I told you," I said breathlessly, happiness coursing through my veins. I got to my feet and did a victory dance in my head."Be a good girl, Jade." Maya's aunt plastered both her elbows on the table and clasped her fingers in front of her face. "Please, if you can't abstain then I'

My heart pounded violently and my throat became dry, I struggled to breathe as I dropped down on my knees, my hand gripping my stomach tight.That was the end, I knew I was going to die someday, but I didn't think it was going to be so soon and by a stalker who I once used as a rebound... Karma was real.Slowly, I bent my head to look at my bleeding stomach, but to my surprise, there wasn't a pool of blood on the floor. I raised my palm to look at it, but there was no sign of blood.But he shot me. My subconscious pointed out and I stared down at my stomach again. No blood.Must be my back.I rubbed on my lower back and viewed my hands for blood, but there was nothing."Oh!" A groan beside me caught my attention and I looked to the right.The saddening sight drilled a hole in my heart. My body shook internally as a frog sat comfortably in my thr

"W-what do you mean by you're here for what is yours?" I stuttered, rigid to the spot as a thousand and one ways he could hurt me flew around my head."You know what I mean..." He drawled, shoving his hands into his pockets. "My bitch."His words stung me and my eyes widened when I realized something. I shook the thought off and laughed."Stop this, it's not April fool's day, is it?" I questioned between laughs and glanced at my wrist watch before taking my gaze back to his face."What does gazing at your wrist watch have to do with this, Jade?" He tilted his head to the right with a mischievous grin playing at the corners of his lips."It shows dates too." I gulped and hoped it was a joke. "Quit scaring me, have you seen Tristan around?"I craned my neck to survey the area, but there was no other person on the building. I used the opportunity of looking for Tristan to take two steps away from him."Not so fast.

Father placed a box of ring in my palms and asked me if it was beautiful enough and if my mother would like it. After inspecting it with my eyes, I nodded and he bought it. We walked out of the jewelry store and I was super excited for both my parents. They had been seeing each other again and I couldn't wait for them to live together under the same roof again.I was depressed. My stalker wanted it to be the death of me, but I refused. He had been sending disturbing messages and pictures of myself in my underwear or even walking into a supermarket. He was following me every where and I never felt safe anymore.My phone rang and it was the same private number. I refused to take the call because I knew it was none other than the bastard that came to this world to frustrate my life.Dad was trying to work on it under ground, but it was moving very slowly because he wasn't using any help. We didn't want the stalker to suspect. I had strongly disagreed for h

Tristan's POVIt had been a while since Jade and I had spoken and I still didn't know what to do. Why I had said Lola's name that day, was a mystery to me. I couldn't just explain what had happened to me. My chest was heavy and I hardly got any sleep these days.I usually didn't sleep till five am then I wake up eight in the morning, very tired and weak like I had been beaten.I rubbed my chin as numerous thoughts raced through my head. I loved her and didn't want to lose her. I had gone to the airport to tell her about how deeply sorry I was for hurting her in anyway, but she chose to ignore me. It really hurt like a nail was used to stab my heart.I sat up on my chair when an idea popped up in my head so I rushed over to book a flight to Manchester. I needed to see the love of my life and I needed to apologise. I wasn't usually a mushy person, but Jade changed me. There was definitely no oth

We got to the house and halted down in front of a shiny Mercedes as instructed by Mr Thompson. It was already five in the evening and I was looking forward to seeing Maya again.She walked out of the house, buttered up in a black stretchy pants and a big tee shirt that had the writing, "daddy's girl" on it. The moment our eyes jammed, she smiled a warm one and waved at me. She adjusted her bucket hat and whispered something to her mom who pointed to her dad that was making a call by the other side of the house.She shrugged like she was saying, "I'd still do it anyway" to her mother. She ran to where I was and hugged me. She squeezed me a little and I patted her head. It was really cute the way our height difference was."Girl!" Jade and Maya exclaimed as they hugged each other so tightly, I feared Jade's big stomach would push out the baby. Goodness!"Careful, do not hurt my child." I pointed, going to separate the two breads buttered

The next morning, she wasn't by my side and I wasn't exactly surprised. I mean, that was what she usually did to me.I got up and headed for the bathroom before dragon Lord came. I didn't want to hear about how he thought the name CeCe suited me because I used hours to prepare for the day.I scrubbed fast and dashed out of the bathroom then put on the uniform. Were we going camping or something?There was a knock on the door and I swore to punch whoever it was. It was early in the morning and they wouldn't even leave me be. They are already by my door, knocking for me to go down stairs and suffer in the hands of that man.He was molesting me! Emotionally and not physically, by the way."Who's that?" I questioned and a British accent made it's way into the room."Mr Thompson wants to see you now." She stated and took her leave after I had told her I was going to be there anytime soon. I walked out of the room and got

I went down to the maid quarters and knocked on the door, waiting patiently for the maid... Was she Nancy or what was her name again? I couldn't remember.The door swung open and a maid with chocolate colored skin stood by the door way. Her eyes were grey just like Jade's, but prettier. Her hair was covered with a black maiden's cap and I could only see her front hair, which was curly. Her eye brows were funnily shaped, but her long lashes complimented her face and I must say, she was very beautiful."Hello?" She smiled and I could have sworn my heart walked out of my chest and threw cat wheels. "Can I help you?""W-well, I'm here to see uhm... What's her name again? She told me Maya's dad wanted to see me, but needed me to do something first." I stuttered then she opened the door so I could see her."Emily!" The maid I was used to exclaimed and the chocolate skinned girl laughed then closed the door so

He clapped his hands, giving me a round of applause and tucked in the sides of his mouth."If it isn't the queen of England." He announced with humor in his eyes. "Do you need us to roll a red carpet on the floor for you?" He asked sarcastically and I chewed the insides of my cheeks. This man was just unbelievable. I couldn't put up with his shit.I stood with my hands behind my back and waited for him to stop his shenanigans so we could go for the morning jog and make it back home on time."Let's leave, CeCe." He gestured his hands for us to run, but I looked behind me, wondering who the hell he was referring to as some CeCe. "You heard me Cameron, your new name is CeCe.""How about I make your new name ass hole?" I mumbled as I shoved my hands into the pocket of my joggers and he turned swiftly."What did you say?" He inquired, halting halfway out of the entrance door and I lied saying, "I sa

"Cameron!" The father yelled and I pulled it of Maya with bug eyes. We both popped our eyes open and looked at each other with fear in our eyes.Instantly, I stood up from the bed and ushered Maya into the bathroom before rushing back out to spray some airwick in the air. I instantly wore my pants then smelt myself before I wore a flat look and went over to the door. I pulled it open and scratched my hair like someone that was confused about what to do with his life."Cam-" he hesitated when he had seen me leaning by the doorway. "Been calling you for like ages. Where did you keep your ears, man?""Sorry, I was asleep." I tried to soun husky. He shoved me a little out of the door way and got into my room.He took a quick scan of the room and his gaze fell on me when he was done with whatever he was doing."Why is there so much airwick in here." He waved his hands as if he was fanning dust away from his face and he coughed a little with a puc
