FORTY ONE

"Hey! Billy, how about another round?" I hiccuped, waving my beer cup to the bartender."Effie, I think you've had enough," Lily said, trying to take the cup away from me, but I kept it avoided as if playing keep away."She only had one." Stated Sam."She shouldn't be drinking in the first place," Clark grunts. "How the hell did she get drunk? Lily?""Hey, don't look at me," she argued. "She was getting hyped up with singing. She probably needed to drink and took someone else cup.""Well, she's drunk.""Wer iz ma drank *hiccup*," I demanded with a slur and laughed like crazy.I have never been this drunk before. I never took a sip of alcohol in my house. Athena would always remind me not to drink in the place - not even consider it because it would lead me to disaster.Singing songs one after another had my throat dry. I've been singing since I started, and it was nonstop. It got the crowd going and cheering for more. I was so thirsty that I had to stop for a minute to get a drink and

FORTY TWO

Getting drunk wasn't the plan, as getting sober early in the morning was awful. After Newton dropped me home, my siblings were at it again. Ares was getting threatening letters from this girl he dated revealing that she's was pregnant with his baby. It's not the first time any of the girls he dated wouldn't get the attention they deserved, so Athena was pissed and wanted an explanation. I figured not being noticed by them. I should go to my room.I left my bag at the bar and asked Lily to give it to me at school the next day. It was worst for me seeing how the rumors of head bashing an older woman at the bar spread. I wasn't sure who knew, but it seemed that some students from school saw the whole thing. I just wanted to die. I'm glad Lily and Clark were there. They were at my side the entire time about this ordeal. I couldn't remember what happened last night. It was foggy, but Logan's voice was ringing in my head the way he yelled at me, so yes, I did head-bash a woman older than me

FORTY THREE

"I think you should go," Odin told me as he flipped through his newspaper for the daily news. "It's a great opportunity to meet a music producer."I learned of the old madman's name who sat at the table while I was away from my life and Logan in the library.We've seen each other twice weekly as if I have a schedule with the old geezer. But he wasn't all that bad as we spent more time and talked. I guess he was just any right old person would be. Although, what's up with following me that day?"You may never know your career by being on Broadway like you wanted."I also learned that he resides in the Home Care for the elderly, where Athena coincidentally works. He's one of those whose family had put them there to get rid of the nuisance of taking care of the elderly, or he has no family to stay with. I didn't look happy or sad to visit other old people who wanted to die in peace. I see him walking around with a nurse at his side.I glanced at the male nurse, who didn't seem to be the

FORTY FOUR

The ride to L. A from Long Beach took almost an hour, and with only three minutes left on the clock, Newton parked in front as I rushed inside the tall building that hit the sky and took a deep breath.I called Newton out of all the people on my contact list. I called my psychiatrist to drive me to LA. I had an option to get an Uber or a taxi to take me here, but somehow I called Newton because he was the person who told me about Lena Graham.So, why?Although it's weird having him drive me when I haven't seen him for years until that fateful rainy night at the karaoke bar, he would be there to save me from distress after Logan saw me as an evil bitch.Right away, he was happy to oblige the lift. I found it weird that he wanted to drive me to Los Angeles as if he got nothing better to do. I was curious if he had any clients he needed to attend.But the cool thing about him driving me is it's free. I didn't pay a dime to get to L. A.I ran here as fast as I could, exhausted; I couldn't

FORTY FIVE

"Okay," Lena sighed over the speaker box connecting to the small recording room where I stood, jittery and shaky. "Aphrodite, I think you should take a little break.""Okay," I said softly, removed the massive Beats By Dre Studio headphones, and went out of the room, where she handed me a room-temperature water bottle as I sat on the couch.I was taking small sips over and over.Saying nothing.I felt Lena's eyes staring at me as if I'd done something wrong. It's entirely my fault. And she's angry with me. For three hours, I've done nothing but get scolded by Lena that the sound engineer who operates the sounds had left because it was getting late and I'm stuff here asking for more chances, but it seems I want to give Lena what she wanted to hear."Aphrodite," Lena pulled out a cigarette and lit it. She blew the nicotine flavor into the room. "Where is that spark I heard from Newton?"I pursed my lips as she blew another puff of smoke.All I did was stay silent, looking down at the fl

FORTY SIX

"Okay, that's it!" I growled. Without thinking, I pinched Logan's arm, and he let out a winch. Once he released me, I jumped on Mandy, fisting at her face. There were a couple of slaps and clawing. She screamed for her life, and I was enjoying it."Who's a bitch now?! Huh!" I yelled. "You don't think I can take you on? Your deadbeat brain can't even come up to save your life.""When Heather comes back, you will need to watch your back," she said through her screams of pain.What the fuck?Is Heather coming back?I stopped a fist in midair, pondering about Heather returns. But that didn't matter to me. "Oh yeah, let her come. Because I'm not that scared little bitch everyone knew. She can come at me with everything she got. You're seeing the real Aphrodite Catherine Reid, and she's back." Then I hit her. Her head fell back. She closed her eyes and was unable to move.I was panting hard.This adrenaline rush running through my bloodstream, to be honest, felt good. Although it was wrong

FORTY SEVEN

"What's her name?" I asked Logan.After that heartfelt moment, we decided to head to the beach. The streets were busier because all the bars and certain spots were open until midnight. Once I stepped out of his car, I felt the cold ocean breeze brush against my skin. It may be challenging, but luckily we got a large blanket, one size — just the two of us.We sat on the beach with my toes curled in the sand. I laid in front of Logan, acting like my personal backrest pillows. I put my head back on his chest as we watched the powerful waves hit the beach's edge."Her name was Niana, Miss Niana Davenport," Logan said with a stable breath. Just mentioning her name must of bring back painful memories. "She was so beautiful, smart, and kind. Which reminds me of you.""Me kind? Didn't you see me do all those things to Paris, that date of yours and Mandy?"Logan laugh. "Yeah, but I could tell you were jealous. Although, I was pretty upset about what you did to my date.""Do you want me to cast

FORTY EIGHT

Logan has talked about Niana more; I was starting to like her. I haven't met her, but she seems like a genuine person to know.But if she were alive, there would have to be a showdown between us. It's like the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Then arrange it to "Who Wants to Get Logan Dick?"You know what I mean.If she were alive, I would be fighting — an all-out fight with a dead girl who was Logan's first love.When Logan drove us back home, we walked hand to hand toward his house, and it didn't surprise any of my siblings or his. They looked at us, snickering and grinning like a Chester Cat. It seems that Seth was eavesdropping on us and told everyone.Ares didn't look happy because he knew Logan broke my heart and was itching to fight him. I know they have an equal and fair fight, but I didn't want two people who are an essential fight because of my stupidity. Athena, on the other hand, was different. I thought she would be mad at me for dating a guy like Logan, but she

FORTY NINE

"Effie?"I looked up and saw Athena at my door. I pulled out my earphone. "Yeah, what's up?"I stared at her, studying her, and realized she looked different, not in the way of her hair or if she put make-up on, but something about her shone as if she was glowing."What are you doing?" She entered my room and pretended she hadn't seen it in years."My study guide."She nodded her head. "Do you have plans today?"I pin my eyes on her as she walks around my room like a museum of things she has already seen. "Yeah, I'm doing something with Lily at her house later tonight." I can't tell my sister that Lily will meet the groom-to-be. That would shock her.But something is amiss here. Why is my sister just came to my room and have a small chat? I know she's been busy working at the senior homes and with Rex, but it feels weird."Thea, you okay?" I finally asked her."Mmh..." is what she gave me. "Oh! Yeah, I'm fine. Fine. I want to hang out with my baby sister, that's all.""You don't have

FIFTY

I began packing for some things needed when I headed to Lily's house. I grabbed my make-up bag when my phone chimed.I saw a text from Logan that he was outside in the car. I text him back that I'll be there in a second.Once I got everything in my backpack, I was not giving away that I was going to Lily's house to change into a formal attire professionally made by Aunt Nicky. I didn't want to make everyone, including Logan, suspicious of me. I have to act natural.I left my room and saw the TV on with Ares sleeping. His snoring made me chuckle, and Athena was in the kitchen preparing to bring some ingredients to Wolfe's house."Effie, how long will you stay at Lily's house?""Not long, but I promise to be home by 10.""Well, if it's homework, then it's okay. Just let me know you are going home late.""Yes, mom," I said that as sarcasm, but learning about her pregnancy wasn't a joke. "So, are you going to tell Rex tonight?"She sighed, looking at the bag of stuff. "Not yet. I plan to
