LAURIE NORMAN

One.1. "Here is your order ma'am. Enjoy!" I said in my nicest tone to a lady who barely answered me. Being a waitress is not an achievement at all. Moving all around this big restaurant, taking orders from customers, dropping menus on tables, serving dishes, and receiving offensive words as compliments from plushy, rich rude annoying customers is enough to spoil one's day. I am LAURIE NORMAN, 22 years old. I alone cater for my mom and younger brother ever since mom lost her legs and dad left us. Although I have an elder brother, I would rather not talk about him. The bookstore and the restaurant are where I got money from to feed my family. Though, the pay is meager. A few steps into the night and I'm already tired because I had to take two shifts because I couldn't meet up yesterday. A kind colleague covered it for me but I still had to grease her palm which doesn't make her kind after all. Smiles. As I moved past the next booth, I noticed an old man, not too old

Two.2. Staying at home wasn't funny. I mean it, it isn't funny. Only two days after my dismissal from the resto, the building where the bookstore was was demolished. Now I'm jobless. Hitting the street every morning for the past two weeks job hunting yields nothing. Although mom isn't aware that I was fired from the restaurant, she knows about the demolition of the bookstore building. It's evening time, at least the time I do get to resume duty at the resto. Lying down on my small prisoner bed, I couldn't help but think about our crumbled life, Mom's failing health, and Bryan's tuition fees. All of these are just too much for me that I felt like crying. But I wouldn't cry because only weak people cry and I have to be strong for my family. I came down and met Mom knitting by the little hallway to the kitchen. "Laurie, you haven't been going to the restaurant for some time now. Why's that?" She asked as she noticed my presence. She's been asking me this question for

Three.3. My door burst open with Bryan running in with a paper in his hand, squealing and making an unpleasant noise to my ears. "Hey, can't you knock? And don't you mind lowering your voice?" I asked. "I'm sorry. I'm just excited sis. I just came back from school." He said smiling. "It's very obvious since you're still in uniform. How's school?" I asked. "Fine." He squealed and I rolled my eyes. "I got an A in the math test today." "Wow! That's my boy. Come gimme some sugar baby." I spread my arms open to receive his hug but instead, he hugged Kira. Yeah! She just had a shift this morning and she came to give me a gist about all the happenings in the restaurant. I stylishly and shamefully hugged myself. The rejection was too much to handle. I was jealous. "Ok! Enough. You go over to your room." I asked him out. "Hey, sis you didn't go to work today?" Bryan asked. He doesn't know about my dismissal from work. "Bryan, go to your room, take off y

Four.4. Every normal family would not have only bread crumbs for dinner but my family has them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Excellent! There's no money to get decent food. The little money kept for dinner was carted away by Jeremy. The bread crumbs were only gotten by the food stamps that were shared in the public school Bryan attended. We could barely afford something nice with those food stamps. Bryan entered the little corner that serves as a dining area for us. He whispered in his babyish tone when he saw our overly- nice meal for dinner. "Oh no! Are we gonna have these for dinner again?" He said soberly. "Yes, dear," I answered as I busied, arranging the dishes on the table. "But we had them this morning and also at lunch. We should have something else for …." "Bryan?" I cut him short. "We have nothing left to eat. What is here, is what we are having tonight. So get your arse on the chair and eat." I commanded. He didn't say anything else. He was

Five.5. My train of thought stopped dead when I saw who it was. Massimo... Massimo... I shook my head and searched my head trying to remember his intimidating surname but I couldn't.He looks fresh like he just had a bath because his silky black hair was dripping wet. His blue eyes, the only thing I could kill for were glittering. He smells like coffee. Nice. I was drooling no doubt as I took in his features with my eyes. It seems black was his favorite color. All black.Like a brain reboot, I looked at him closely and that's when it clicked. What's he doing here? How does he know I'm here? Was he the one who sent people to kidnap me? Is he going to hurt me?He entered the room fully, closing the door behind him and giving me that devilish smirk I despise so much. Though I've seen it once, it's enough to despise it right? "Look who we have here. My little princess." He interrupted my train of thought. "What are you doing here?" I asked with my fists molded and ready for

Jeremy Norman

Six.6.I ran speedily with every might inside of me as the men behind me were hot on the chase. I ran and hid behind a truck to avoid them. I came out into the limelight when I felt they'd lost track of me and I ran in the opposite direction, running back home. I entered the house breathing heavily. I looked around and saw Mom crying and Bryan holding her closely but Laurie wasn't there. I couldn't care less.I aimed to come and take my family to a faraway town, out of the reach of the casino gamblers. I might be rude to my family but I still care about them. I walked further into the house, noticing that the house was scattered. "Jeremy, where have you been? What have you done?" Mom asked in tears as she noticed my presence. I walked up to them, kneeling before them. I tried hugging her but she pushed me away. "Don't touch me, you bastard!" She yelled and cursed.Mom never called me names despite my wayward behaviors. She would always love me and defend me in front of Laur

Seven.7.I woke up to be greeted by the bright light rays coming through the window. It's already morning. I yawned lightly, using my hands to cover my mouth. Wait! Did someone untie me? I looked down at my legs but was surprised to see that I had a nightie on me. I slept naked and bound to the pillars of the bed. Did someone dress me up or Massimo did? No Massimo can't, I disagreed. After all, he was the one who left me naked. Maybe his maids put the dress on me.The door clicked open and Massimo stepped in with a tray in his hand. The cocky smirk he had on his face scattered all my thoughts. His scents filled my nose and I remembered last night, a bitter feeling rose inside me. He looked handsome this morning, he looked so innocent like he did nothing last night. "Good morning princess. How was ya night?" He asked, smiling sweetly. For the few times that I've seen him, this was his first sincere smile, not a smirk. "Morning to you too. My night was horrible and I'm

Eight.8.My mind flashed back to my mom and Bryan. I wondered how they were coping. I just hope Jeremy doesn't hurt them. I wondered if they'd eaten. Three days since his last visit, Massimo hasn't come into my room. No food and I'm starving already. I stood up from the bed, still in the nightie with my yet-to-heal swollen eyes. I walked around the room looking for a means of escape. I wondered if the nightie I had belonged to one of Massimo's girlfriends or one of the girls he had held captives before me. The thought got to me. Has Massimo abducted and assaulted girls the way he did to me? Well, I wouldn't know unless I ask him. Still looking for a way out, a way of escape, I moved towards the window. Maybe I could climb down with a rope or something and find my way out. I looked down the window and whoa! No way! Jumping is a suicide attempt. The window is way too far from the ground floor. "How many stories does this building have? Fuck!" I asked myself, surpr

Nine.9.Throughout my lifetime, I have never dreamt of coming to a place like this. L. A is one of the best places anyone could go for a vacation. But everything here looks expensive and smells of wealth. I guess it's not for paupers like me. But Fred brought me here to celebrate our dating anniversary and also my birthday. It was a surprise because I'll never allow him to spend this much on me. I love Fred and I know for sure he loves me too.For the few days we've spent here, we've been shopping all through, going to expensive restaurants and boutiques. Fred was spending too much and I was not comfortable with it. I was concerned. "Babe, aren't you spending too much? How did you get this much?" I asked out of curiosity and fear that he might have stolen it but he only smiled, reassuring me it was his.Fred is not a rich guy, he works as a delivery guy for some company so I wondered where and how he got the money. 'Maybe he loaned it?' I thought, 'Or he stole it.' my subcon

Mrs. Maureen Norman

Ten.10.I couldn't help it as tears ran down my cheeks uncontrollably. Laurie's abduction was killing me. I imagined what she would be going through. "Oh! My Laurie." I just pray she doesn't act tough with the big guys.Bryan and I haven't eaten anything good since Laurie was taken. But Kira brought some fine food we had for dinner last night and breakfast for Bryan this morning. Kira has been so helpful The night Laurie was taken, I knew that things were bound to change. I knew right that it was Laurie's defensive act that got her kidnapped. Now I don't know where they might have taken her to. Same as Jeremy, he hadn't come back since I asked him out. I am left with Bryan whom I can't cater for because I have no legs. Laurie is a jewel. " How am I supposed to cope?" I cried bitterly.Crying was the only thing I could think of and do right now. I know it won't bring back my daughter but I can't stop doing it.I cried for so long that my tear gland refused to secrete m
