2021-08-22 05:50:02We got outside the store but she continues walking towards the taxi stand so I follows her, I'm clueless about how all of a sudden I feel safe with her , like I have faith that she wouldn't do anything bad to me.
" Hey! erm... I will taking a cab from here, by the way you can keep the money for the meal, so you are free to go!" She says sweetly." Erm... Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help and what you did back there." " It's pleasure.... Take care." She stops a taxi and jumps in " 5th Avenue!" I hear her say to the driver before shutting the door.The car leaves, as stood there and watched. Suddenly it occurs to me" why didn't I ask her for help? At least she would have directed me to a decent hotel or motel I can spend the night in!.....Urgh! You can be stupid sometimes Hailey!"_mumbling to myself, while I stood there at the side of the road with no idea what to do next. Right now, I wish I have a smart phone at least I can find my way around this gigantiRelated chapters

" Babe!!" She calls out, which got me wondering, " Is there someone else in the apartment?" Well my question is answered when a guy with a towel tied around his waist, his looks aren't anything striking at all, but I don't think I am in any position to be judgemental, I'm merely a guest in their home." Oh, hey babe!" The gentleman walks up to her and gives her a warm kiss on the cheeks," Hey, why are you tying a towel! Can't you see we have a guest here?" She whispers to him." I just came out of the shower when I heard you at the entrance... Don't give me that look, I'll go put on some clothing, Okay?" He steals a glimpse at me and continues out." Don't mind all that, come... Have a seat, I will be right back!" She leaves me all alone in the living room and proceeds to her bedroom.A while later, " her boyfriend " I presume, walks into the room while shining a bright smile as he moves towards my direction." Hey, sorry about earlier. I

" phew! It's been such a stressful day! I surge into bed and drown myself in the softness of it. I wonder how Greg is doing?" A cinch of melancholy gusts through my body.My eyes become heavy while I stared at the awning, slowly but steady my eyelids could no longer hold the inevitable call of nature, as I dozed off, eventually.The next day, I wake up in the morning to the loud noise coming from outside of my window and I jump out of bed as I proceed into the bathroom to ease myself and wash my face, while doing that I took a little time looking at the mirror and resumes my thinking from where I stopped last night, glancing at the mirror, gazing into the eyes of my reflection in the mirror. My thoughts go feral, as I couldn't get myself to focus, still hunted by my tragic past. I remember when I first moved to Phoenix, I had a dream, I had a goal, that made me wake up every single morning and face my day with a bright smile on my face. Where is that girl who wanted

Standing there in the kitchen watching as she exits, It feels like the earth should open up and swallow me whole, " you shouldn't have said that, you stupid girl! Curse you! Curse you! Curse you! I scream in my head. Why am I still standing here?"I promptly trotted into the guest room and straight to the bathroom, in a moment I am done with my bath and leaving the bathroom with this thought in mind, " How do I go to her and ask for clothe to wear?" This question bugged on my mind during and after my bath, until I came out of the bathroom to find a pair of blue jeans and a white T-shirt with a pair of new sneakers laid on the mattress, deliberately, I proceeded to the row awe-stricken at how someone could be so nice at heart.Sliding into the pair of slacks and the shirt, they were a little tight on my body giving that I am a bit more larger upstairs and the down side as well but feet slips into the sneakers as though they were perfectly measure and m

I hurried behind her as we arrives at the bus stop, we awaited in lull for the bus to arrive.Though I am standing behind her I could see through her shattered heart, what she is feeling at the moment and how much she is praying for none of this to be true.I also prayed and wished that none of the things that had happened to me were all just a nightmare, that the man I once loved is still the same man I fell in love with.Perhaps I am a mere outsider to her, she chose to wear a mask and bury her excitements deep down inside of her, I want to walk up to her,give her a wake up slap and hug her tightly until she pours her heart out, I want to tell her how strong and pure hearted she is, a plethora of things I need to say to her but I don't know how to do that when she isn't giving me the recourse.Eventually, the bus arrives and she turns to me and goes, " let's go, this is our bus!" Then she continues and gets into the bus and I came behind her, while She si

" Is this how you want to pay me back for everything?" I hear her say in a trembling tone, gradually I walk up to them and stand still behind Sam, the situation She caught her boyfriend in, she couldn't curb her sentiments as tears unhurriedly run from her eyes down to her cheeks, " I gave you all my support and more, I loved you unconditionally Jordan, I even took you in when you lost everything and this is how you repay me? Jordan with the two women he had escorted into the boutique to lavish my money, they all gaped with no blithe of concern on their faces." Sam, I'm sorry for all this but I can never betray you, I only took the cash from the new girl because I'm in desperate need of a financial stipend, thanks to that money I was able to pay off the five grand I'm owing on the mortgage and spoil myself a little!" He says with a grimace.I can feel my blood boil in rage, I clench my fists and just as I am about to go give him a piece of my mind, Sam grips my wrist. " I

" Hey, it's okay. Please pull yourself together." I try to commiserate with her." You don't understand Amanda, I did everything I could for Jordan, I changed myself, work even harder to fend for him. There's nothing in the world that I haven't done just to please that guy, and he chose to repay me this way?" She wails.I arise from my seat and squat in front of her. " And what did you amass from doing all that for him?

Hailey's POV"What was all that bullshit you did out there?" Colton asked as he banged his hand so hard on the table, it nearly gave me a heart attack.I jumped. " I'm sorry. If it wasn't urgent then..."" Then what? Who do you think you are to barge into my office and create such chaos?" He walked up to me and grabbed my arm." Nobody. I'm a nobody." I said quietly and he let go of me as if he saw through me and then took a few steps back to his desk." What do you want?" He asked as he slowly placed the bottled water back on his table." To save my mother, I need $40,000 for her surgery."He scoffed " That's a huge sum of money, and why do you think I'd give you such an amount?" He asked sitting on the chair behind the desk." I don't know. I guess I don't have a lot of options on my table. I'm just playing all my cards and thats why I came to you."" I can give you forty grand but what do I get in return."

I cried within." you should first of all look at your reflection in the mirror before you look in a woman's direction, you fat ugly bastard!" I could hear Sam throwing shades at him." Slap! You have a big mouth bitch!" Mr. Rogers hits her again. " Umm, excuse me? " I wave at the man standing by the door." what?" He retorts rudely." Please I need to use the bathroom for a minute."

We are here, eventually, my heart won't stop scampering throughout the entire trip. Sam and I make our way into the building which seems like a warehouse of the sort, there are some packaged goods in cartons stacked on the floor by the corner and some men standing and having a chit chat while some are busy arranging and repackaging the unknown goods in the cartons.It didn't look anything like what I had imagined on my way here, at least there isn't a group of varmints puffing smokes while counting stacks of cash, rather the men here seem to be more engrossed with what they are doing and everything seems legal to me." Hey! Excuse me, Sam waves at one of the men standing across the hall as he slowly takes a few steps closer to us with his brows furrow." Yeah? " the man motioned tilting his neck backward in a manner that his chin notches at Sam while he munches on his gum." Pardon me, please where can we find Mr. Roger?"" Oh! Do you mean the boss?

" Y-yes?" I stammer." Ma'am you only have three days to get the money for the surgery or else... She pauses and sighs. We might not be able to save her." She states.My room was always filled with the echoes of honking car horns and distinct noises of new york city, suddenly in those brief seconds as I hold the phone in my left ear and listening to the doctor without a word. The only thing that encompass my room is an eerie lull which sent a cold shiver and skepticism running down gently in my spine.Could this be a malediction in my fate, why does despair often knocks at my door each time there is a ray of hope and happiness in my life?" Amanda! Amanda! " suddenly I could hear Sam's voice calling out to me as I slowly wipe my tears and look up, our gaze meets." Amanda, I am so sorry for saying all those nasty things to you, I-i don't know what came over me. She turns and places her hand on my shoulder.

" You still haven't told me where we are going, Amanda?" Sam inquires of me.I hear her, however, I seize to answer her and decide to avoid making eye contact with her as the driver continues to our destination." Why aren't you answering any of my questions, will you talk to me?" She rebels.I can sense her gaping at me furiously but I chose to linger on staying mute, she crinkle her arms and frown her face.The taxi Pulls over by the corner after a twenty minutes ride from the coffee shop.I jump out of the car while Sam comes out after me, I keep my hand in my purse and pay off the driver and he zooms out immediately." what are we doing here, why did you bring me here Amanda?"

Why do I feel like something is wrong, I could sense that I've missed something trying to understand Sam, is there something she isn't telling me? I could sense something fishy but I can't seem to wrap my hands around it.We got to the shop and I resume my duty immediately, During my entire shift I try talking to Sam, however, she continues to avoid me on each attempt I make, using the term " there is no relation in business." Whenever I come to talk to have a word with her.I understand, perhaps I meddle in other people's matters but she isn't just anyone to me, she is my best friend and a sister to me, and I believe sisters don't keep their pain from one another.I know she is hiding her feelings, something must have happened to her to make her keep faking her smile and harboring so much anger in her heart."
