Mr Brooklyn was puzzled when Carly walked out of the room.
“Are you done, sweetie?” He asked bending down a bit. Carly smiled and nodded.
“Really? You Sure?” He asked patting her hair.
“Not really. We might do that next w–
“Why? Did the headaches come again?”
“No dad. I’ve never gotten headaches again ever since. What’s the need of getting worried. Anyways, Dad.. Let’s go home. I’ve got something to do!” Carly chuckled finding her way into her father’s hand. Mr Brooklyn laughed as they walked out.
******************************
“Unnie? Unnie? Unnie?!” Carly yelled as she walked into her room with haste. She found Samantha using her phone on the bed where she laid.
“Hey? Carly..What’s it?” Samantha asked sitting up on the bed.
“Unnie. I met with Newton today. I can’t believe you work for him!” Carly gushed
“I told you didn’t I? You just couldn’t believe me. He told you right”
“Well yeah. Anyways, I saved you. I didn’t spill your gender secret, Tomboy!?” Carly giggled
“Whatever…I know you are behaving like this because you want something from me. What’s it? Money? Food?”
“You’re wise unnie. Anyways… I do want something but not that”
“Hmm, What’s that? Make it expensive though. I recently had my pay”
“Well_Carly paused and coughed.
…I want your phone. I wanna borrow it”
“No! Damn, Hell No! Why do you need it?”
“I want to search for something online. Please?”
“No. Iwon’t.. At least not now. How about on Saturday?”
“Huh? Saturday? It’s too far!”
“Do we have a deal or not?”
“Uhh… Okay. Okay! We have a deal then”
“Why don’t you wanna even ask Josh?”
“Why should I ask him when you owe me one. Unnie, Please… Don’t back down on your promise! Thank you” Carly smiled laying on the bed as Samantha looked at her wondering what Carly could be so worried about to the extent of searching such online?.
***********************************
Malia received a message from Elle who asked for a meet-up. She smiled seeing the message and stood up from the bed lazily. She walked to her wardrobe, opened it and brought out a casual clothing alongside a pair of slippers.
She wore them in no time, and sprayed her expensive cologne too. She packed her hair in two different ponies and went downstairs. She met her parents and told them where she was off too.
They gladly accepted. She smiled and ran outside. After locking the gate, her eyes met Brad. She was really surprised seeing him.
“What are you doing here?” She questioned with bulging suprised eyes.
“Huh. I came to see you” He answered rubbing his hand on his hair nervously.
“Why? Wait… How do you know my place huh?”
“Oh… Uhhm, I asked Sam”
“Samantha? Oh.. I heard you know her secret now”
“Yeah. I found out she was a girl”
“Oh. I hope Newton hasn’t found anything yet”
“By the look of things, I’m not sure he has noticed. Anyways, Malia… Let’s talk huh?”
“No. I’m busy.. I’m off to see my friends” She retorted leaving.
“So? When should we meet then?”Brad asked at the top of his voice. Malia sighed and looked behind.
“Meet? Let’s not meet at all.. We have no business whatsoever” She replied sharply now leaving.
“Why?? Huh? Why?” Brad yelled again. He quickly ran towards her. He tried to catch his breath as he faced her.
“Tell me why? Is it because of what I caused you? I’m really sorry. Let’s talk about it huh?”
“No.. There is absolutely nothing to talk about…. Do you know in most romantic movies and novels this is exactly how the lead characters falls inlove” Malia said
“What? I don’t understand you”
“Brad.. If we get closer to each other. We might fall inlove–
“There’s no need for a “We” cause I’m already inlove with you” He interrupted
“Huh?…Hm, anyways.. If we keep getting closer and closer to each other. I might fall in love with you. And I don’t want to! I don’t want to fall inlove with a guy that made me lose everything I suffered, prayed and wished for. So, don’t ever look or ask for me again because I might really really hate you” She whispered to him staring into his eyes.Brad sighed sadly as he watched her leave.
**********************************
“Over here! Over here! Hey, Lia.. Why are you late?” Elle asked waving to Malia who walked up to them. She smiled, sat down and looked at the blank table.
“You guys haven’t ordered? Should I order something? Bills on me” Malia smiled
“No. There’s no need” Samantha chipped in
“Why?” Malia asked puzzled
“It’s because Elle has something foolish to say.
Hearing it will make your order bitter” Samantha smirked
“Aiish! Don’t mind her. Just listen to me” Elle retorted.
“Yeah. What’s it?” Malia asked
“Gurl.. There is a hot club night! 11pm sharp!” Elle chuckled. Malia’s face became gloomy instantly.
“What’s this? Is that why you called for us?” Malia asked
“I don’t know! Such a hassle” Samantha snapped
“What’s this? Are you both turning me down? It’s gonna be fun!”
“No. I’m not going. Count me out, sorry” Malia said.
“Me either” Samantha commented.
“Remember it’s gonna hold on “Apple’s Zone Club!”…You know how hot it’s gonna be!”
“Hey! Count us out” Malia gushed smiling
“Yeah. Enjoy yourself” Samantha laughed.
“Aiish! You guys are annoying!” Elle sprouted sadly. The others laughed at her.
“Huh? I’m just gonna order…. Hello! We wanna order please!” Malia said in a loud voice as someone rushed to attend to them.
THE CLUB NIGHT**
Elle was already in the club having fun. Eating, Dancing and Drinking. She had successfully sneaked out of the church as usual. Her reporter sister, Agnes was fast asleep when she snuck out.
She smiled watching the others danced merrily to the beats. She mostly looked at the young guys there admiring their handsome faces. She remembered her “Anonymous crush” and sighed deeply. How come she hasn’t heard from him? She was curious about him!. She bit her lips in thought. She looked at her glass cup on her hand, sniffed and drank the wine remnants in it.
As she turned to call in for more wine. She almost died due to shock. She saw the thugs she met that day Josh saved her. They also seemed to be staring at her. The five of them! It also seemed they noticed her first and have been watching her ever since.
Fear took over her instantly. She thought of what to do but nothing came to her mind. She began to wish she hadn’t even step her feet on the club doorstep at the first place. She heard her scared heart now beating faster when she saw the leader of the men stylishly showing her some armed weapons he smuggled in with. A pistol and a dagger! She nearly choked! Only heavens knew how he took them in. He must have been in and out of prison to the extent of keeping things under his control. Must be easy for him, huh?.
Suddenly, Josh trailed to her mind. Yes! Josh! He could save her right here and now! Even though, he had lied saying he learnt martial arts. He sure was smart and could get away with things like this.
Elle dropped down the empty glass cup on the table, stylishly took out her phone and texted Josh with her shaky hands.
~~~~~
Meanwhile, Josh was busy with studies when he heard his phone beep. It was a message. He was still looking at his books when he stretched his long arm on the other side of his study table.
Getting his hands on it, He took a quick glance on it but however, the name “Upcoming Girlfriend” thrilled him. He smiled, played with his legs a little and ran to his bed almost blushing. He opened the message box but his happiness vanished when he saw Elle’s message;
🗨Joshua, Please Help me!🗨
He stood up worried. He quickly replied;
🗨What’s going on? Tell me🗨
🗨Remember those thugs from that day?.There are here armed! Watching me. I’m so scared, Josh. I might die🗨.
Her reply came fast.
🗨It’s okay.. I will on my way. Firstly, where are you?🗨
🗨You’re gonna come?🗨
🗨Yeah. Where are you now? I’m also gonna call the police🗨
🗨No! No! Please no! My parents are gonna kill me if they find out that I sneaked in a club. Just save me please, call no one even Samantha. She might make jest of me for coming here..I’m seriously begging you Josh, Save me please🗨
🗨Okay.. Okay, So.. Where are you?What club is that?🗨
🗨Apple’s Zone Club…🗨
~~~~~~
Josh threw his phone on the bed, took his grey jacket and ran out. He met his parents busy with the other employers in the restaurant.
“Hey? Where are you off too?” Mrs Brooklyn asked at the top of her voice.
“I’m gonna be back mum! Dad, Save me some beef!” Josh yelled as Mr Brooklyn laughed watching him run out of sight.
******************************
Joshua came out of the taxi and ran inside the club. He searched and searched for Giselle but she was nowhere to be found. He growled angrily and hit his fist on the table. He could have called her but his phone was at home.
“Darn it!” He yelled partially. Suddenly, His eyes met Elle from behind and it looked like she was leaving. He tried running to her but he stopped. They had her already.Those hefty thugs!. He became worried and scared. What was he gonna do. He felt his eyes tearing up already. He bit his lips hard trying to hold himself.
Eventually, He went outside following them from behind. They took Elle to an enclosed, hidden corner and pushed her to the wet ground. She fell down, scratched her knee and groaned silently. Joshua watched on still in thoughts of what next to do.
“Look at her!” The leader said as the rest laughed.
…You thought you escaped from us right? This is gonna be a lesson to you!” The leader growled holding her long hair up.
“Owww” She groaned painfully as her hair was almost tapped out of its roots.
“By the way, Where’s your martial arts savior now huh? Let him save you!” He mocked while the others continued laughing.
He kicked her knee smiling. “Kneel!” He commanded pulling her hair the more which inflicted more pain on her. She kept groaning as she found her knee on the floor. She was filled with dirt.
“I’m gonna teach you a lesson you are never gonna forget Then, you’re show your lover martial arts guy what I did. When he sees it, I’m sure he’s gonna come for me. When he eventually does sees me, I’m gonna kill him and give you his corpse! You know, I beat women too, I don’t care!” He said as he smiled wickedly.
Elle closed her eyes tightly waiting for the worst. She swallowed hard and felt the hard slap from the man’s palm heavily on her face which made her fell down hard on the floor. She held her cheek winching in pain.
“No! Let’s her go!!!” Joshua screamed crazily rushing towards them. He blocked their way to Elle who tried getting herself.
“It’s the guy?” One of them said.
“It’s truly is him! Well, I’m gonna have to kill you first!” The man yelled laughing.
“Let’s see how much martial arts you’ve learnt so far!” he added glaring at Josh who glared back very coldly.
“Wow.. This guy is determined. Make him kneel” The leader ordered as one of the men went towards Josh. He swiftly kicked Joshua legs from behind. He reacted by falling down on his knees instantly. He felt pains around his entire legs.
“That’s more like it” The leader chuckled. Josh tried to stand up but he was stopped by the heavy strong punch from the man.
“Oooow!” Josh groaned loudly. Elle saw this and shouted in pity. She tried running to save him but the other 2 held her. She kicked her legs wailing loudly trying to get away from their strong grips.
“Let me go please!” she begged in pitiful tears. She knew she would be in deep trouble if she called for help. News would reach her parents. It was gonna be a big shame to others. She valued her pride.
Meanwhile, The thug leader came closer to Josh punching him with his big and hard fist mercilessly.
Joshua was weak already. He was just 19 after all. Any time, he fell down on the ground, the other men would put him back on his knee. Then, the leader would continue from where he stopped.
“Please, leave him. He didn’t do anything! Do with me what you must but please, not him. Please… I’m begging you” Elle pleaded crying more than ever. Who would have thought our “Fearless” could cry so much.
However, she was ignored.
“It’s too late! Now, its even looks much fun and thrilling!” The leader smiled hitting him the more. He raised his sleeve up, clenched his fist more tighter and grabbed Josh neck.
He couldn’t struggle no more, He was so exhausted. The leader gave an evil smile, raised his tightly clenched fist high in mid air and gave him a hard super punch down his chin.
Josh gave a loud painful yell. “No.. No! Please, No!” Elle yelled trying to push the 2 strong men away.
“Please, let him go! Oh no! Please… He’s bleeding. What if he dies! Please! Pleaseeeee!” She pleaded still crying. Her tears flowed like there was a big war.
Joshua’s nose and mouth brought out blood, his face especially his eyes were already disfigured. Elle stomped her feet crying the more watching the whole scene. There wasn’t a moment to hatch a plan. No idea at hand. Nothing! What the hell have I done?? Her thoughts were all endless. Josh fell like a feather which the soft breeze would knock down, he couldn’t struggle no more. Where was the strength?.
“Hey! Pick him up!” The leader ordered the remaining two men standing. He was strangely still unmerciful.
“It’s enough. Please, let us go. You’ve hurt him so much already. He’s suffering from severe pains! It’s enough. Please!!” Elle screamed with tears running down her cheeks.
“No.. I’m not done. It’s remaining the most interesting part” The leader smiled
“Wh… What is that?” She stammered with her blood shotted eyes.
“Watch and see” He replied. The both men took Josh back on his feet but He was very weak and almost getting unconscious. He fell back again.
“Aiish! Such an annoying as* h*le! I thought he was strong like he boasted he was!–
Make him kneel.. That’s what I said!” He ordered yelling at the men. They apologized and went to Josh who laid down exhausted. Too fragile!. They started hitting him with their feet.
Josh winched in unbearable pain as he made painful sounds. Blood kept oozing out from his mouth and nostrils.
They held him up, one took his left hand and the other took his right.
“Good. Just like that! Now for the main part” The leader smiled as he took his hand into his pocket.
Elle watched Josh painfully and sad. She felt really sorry. She widened her eyes when she saw Josh head which was facing the floor dejectedly before, now raising up slowly.
Eventually, He looked at her and forced an “I’m okay” smile. His teeth were stained with blood which made Elle shed tears the more.
“I’m sorry Josh” She whispered.
“Now! Watch!” The man yelled. Josh head dropped down low tiredly once again. On the other hand, Elle slowly faced the leader and to her greatest surprise, He was with his pistol and it was pointed directly to Josh.
“No.. No.. No, Please.. No!” She yelled struggling to get free. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.
“I’m begging you! please! I will do anything you want. So, Pleaseeeee!!” She begged still forcing herself out from the men’s forced grip.
Josh faced her again and smiled.
Elle could swear she heard his thoughts; “I love you, Giselle”….
She breathed heavily as she turned her gaze to the man who slowly touched the pistol’s trigger.
“Noooooo!” Elle shouted in tears as the man almost pulled the trigger….
