“G.. grandma?” Cheryl said slowly, wondering what that means
” Yes, my great grandma, Daisy” he replied again
“Oh, did Daisy break his heart? ” Cheryl wondered as he started slee-ping off on her shoulder
“Louis let’s go in” she tapped him
*I’m feeling sleepy” he replied drun!kenly
“I know, that’s why we should go in so you’ll sleep comfortably” she replied, stylishly, raising his head from her shoulder
She turned him and hang his arm on her n£¢k then she managed to take him in though it was ha-rd cos of how he’s t©ppling
She took him to his room and l@yhim on the be-d, he sle-pt off Immediately
She took off his shoes and covered him with the duvet before sitting beside him on the be-d
“I wonder what really happened between you and her that made you so hurt like this” she thought, tou-ching his forehead lightly and surprisingly, he has an high temperature
“Uh!, What do I do?” She thought worriedly and rushed out of the room to get towel and cold water in a bowl
She c@m£ back and worse still, he’s alre-ady shaking as a result of cold
She went close and di-pped the towel in the water before placing it on his forehead maybe that’ll help cool down his temperature
He kept shaking so she had to cover him with three more thick duvets before sitting beside him again
She held his hand and ru-bbe-d the back gently, watching him sleep and after sometime, tears c@m£ out of his eyes in his slee-ping position
“He’s even crying in his sleep, what exactly could have happened? ‘ she wondered
She never sle-pt till the next morning, she watched him till daybreak and it’s like he’s getting worse, his temperature bec@m£ high again early that morning and she decided that hospital is the best answer
She stood to go get the car keys but he held her back
She looked back and his eyes is still closed. “Don’t take me to an hospital, plea-se” he said
“But you’re…
” Don’t just take me to an hospital, I don’t want to go there, I’ll just stay here till I’m better” he said slowly with his driedl-ips
She slowly sat beside him again as he let go of her hand
*You’re terribly sick, your temperature is running high and you’ve started shaking again as a result of cold, should I make you something?, You should eat” she said slowly
” I’d love to eat but I don’t have an appetite” he replied and althrou-gh, he never opened his eyes
” Then I can get appetizers for you” she replied
“Cheryl st©p, I wanna be alone” he said
She gave him one last glance before standing though she wants to be with him but she has to respect his decision.

Walking out of her house this morning, Elena can’t be more happy when she saw Shane alre-ady waiting
Well she knows he’ll be waiting, just that maybe she missed him greatly
Shane was surprised when he saw her walking fine but her knees are still bandaged anyways, Elena got to him and hvgged him surprisingly
*When did you start giving free hvgs? ” Shane asked jokingly
“st©p talking and hvg me too” she replied, expecting to feel his hands on her back and he did
He hvgged her back ti-ghtly and their bodies pressed on each other as they stayed in each other’s arms for minutes before breaking the hvg
He k!$$£d her chin this time around and that made her blus-h again
“I missed you” she said
“We still saw each other yesterday” he replied
“I know, but I missed you throu-ghout the night” she smiled, holding his cheeks
*Wanna know a secret?, I missed you like mad last night even after the call” he replied
She broke the hvg and faced him. ” You look more handsome this morning” she said
“Yeah it’s Sunday, and I’m going out to a fashion institute with my princess so I have to look good and you know what?, You look h0t too, I love your leather trou-sers and cap” he win-ked
” I’m not beautiful, my b©dy scars make me look ugly and I’m sure if you see them, you won’t wanna be my friend anymore” Elena thought sadly
” Princess, princess” Shane called, tou-ching her shoulder and she j£rked up
“What were you thinking?” He asked with concern
Instead of answering, she hvgged him again and it’s ti-ghter than the first one
“You won’t st©p being my friend” she said
“Never” he replied, wondering what happened
“I hope that’s true” she replied
He broke the hvg and faced her. “What are you talking about?” He asked
She held his shoulders and pe-ck his both cheeks
“I want you to be my friend forever” she said
” Why are you suddenly talking like this?” He asked
” You’ll be my friend forever right?” She asked
“Of course, there won’t be any reason for me to st©p being your friend” he replied
She smiled and hvgged him again
” I’m glad” she heaved on his shoulder
He t©uçhed her hair fondly and she can’t possibly ask for more, her heart is busy beating fast in her che-st
“Time to go princess” Shane said after she hvgged him for almost five minutes
She broke it and they smiled at each other before getting in the car
“What’s your favorite song?” Shane asked
“10 scars to your beautiful by Alessia Cara” she replied and his eyes wi-de-ned
” Really?”
” Sure, I love it madly” she replied
“That was Samantha’s favorite song too and cos of that, I made it my favorite too” he replied
” Whoa!, So we love same song” she replied and they smiled as the car pu-ll-ed up in front of the fashion institute
They c@m£ out of it and entered with their IDs which they showed to the director of the institute before they were allowed to take any records
Designers are busy designing all kinds of dresses, shoes, bags, caps and all others
A lecturer was as-signed to teach them a whole lot and by the time they’re done for the day, they gained a lot alre-ady
“That was exhausting” Shane yawned lightly as they walked out of the place
“I know right?” Elena replied
Shane took her hands and held it. “Your hands are small but cute, I love holding them” he said Immediately they got to the car
” I’m blu-shing” she said, smiling big
“Silly, should I drop you home?” He asked
“No, I don’t want to go home yet” she replied
” Ok, should we go have fun?” He asked
“Sure, take me anywhere” she replied
” Then get re-ady to have fun” he win-ked and they got in the car together.

“What the hell!” Miley screamed when Tanya said the news that afternoon
It was actually Dre who called to tell Tanya.
“Daisy is twenty eight?, They say age is just a number but this is too cruel, six years difference!” Miley screamed again
” St©p screaming, you always say you love her right?, You’re just unserious” Tanya said said worriedly
“Camila is her daughter?, She’s even married but left her husband cos she’s tired of him?, Gosh this is incorrigible!” Miley spat angrily
” St©p talking and let me think!, I’ve never for once liked the girl but I love respecting my son’s decision just as much as he respects mine and that’s why I let him be when they started d@t!ng, and now it ended in tears, he’ll be so hurt” Tanya said
” That’s just what should happen, I’m glad the badluck bringer is gone” Alan said, coming down with his glas-ses in hand
Miley hissed and left the house angrily
“Daisy’s house” she told her driver and he moved the car, the drive was fast and smooth
She got out of the car and stormed into the house and to her surprise, Daisy is eating bre-ad and ketchup at the dinning, then she’s pla-ying games on her phone
“Oh… Miley” Daisy stood, coming to meet her
“If you come closer I swear I’ll off my shoe and sl@p you with it!” Miley said seriously
Daisy st©pped moving, looking at her like she’s a movie character
“What’s wrong?” She asked
“Oh my!, You’re asking what’s wrong after doing that to my brother?, You even did makeup and you’re eating and pla-ying games?, Gosh!” Miley remarked
” Look, your brother is still mine, but I plan to rest a little bit before taking any action again, I nee-d more strength to take him back” she replied, rolling eyes
” My brother is not yours anymore!, Get that into your bloody skull cos you lost my support alre-ady and I hate you!” Miley ranted
” Then I hate you too, bit-ch!” Daisy replied
” Just wait and watch, you’ll die a painful and gruesome death for what you did, I regret siding with you… prostitute!” Miley spat and left furiously
Daisy laughed out loud. “I’ll be back, he’s mine so I’ll always have a way to take him back, his di-ck is my life and I can’t afford to lose it so it should just go on a break for now, I’m coming back to take what’s mine” she said, smiling satisfactorily.

Miley drove straight to Louis house and met Cheryl in the dinning room, taking water from the fridge
“Miley” she smiled
“Where’s my brother?” She asked
“He’s upstairs in his room” she replied and Miley went upstairs straight
Cheryl got the cold water and went upstairs too but Immediately she got in, she got shouted at
“What were you doing!, How could you allow his condition to get worse like this!, He’s burning up for crying out loud!” Miley shouted
*He told me not to take him to the hospital” Cheryl replied slowly
” What!”
” Miley” Louis called slowly on the be-d
Miley quic-kly sat beside him and held his hand
“Big brother” she said, full of pity for his condition
” I told her not to take me to the hospital, you don’t have to yell at her” he said
” Can you open your eyes at least?” Miley said
” I don’t want to see anything right now, I just want to…..be in this dark world for a while” he replied
Dre c@m£ in with Tanya immediately.
” Louis!” Tanya almost screamed when she saw him laying down weakly
“Mum” he replied as she sat on his other side
“Open your eyes and just look at me darling” Tanya said
“No mum, I’m even too weak to open my eyes” he replied slowly
” Louis…
“I regret having anything to do with her mum, I was used, I’m hurt mum, she was my first love, she’s the first girl I’ll ever dedicate my whole heart to, saying that I could die for her wasn’t a joke at all, but she ruined me!” He said hurtfully
Tears escaped the corner of his closed eyes as he spoke
“Serious, I’ve never seen a hurt Louis but I guess this is what happens when you get betrayed by someone you love so much, love should avoid me anywhere it is, that hurtful thing, eish!” Dre said
” I went to her house this morning and she was eating bre-ad and ketchup, she’s pla-ying games too and the makeup on her face will make you think she’s going to the club” Miley said
” That bit-ch!” Dre said
” She was the one who beat Cheryl up the other time” Miley said
” Wow!” Dre said, sighing heavily
” This is not cool” Tanya said, tou-ching Louis’s hair
Cheryl can’t bear to see him shedding tears again so she broke down in tears too
“Why the tears?” Dre asked
“If he’s hurt, I’m hurt” she sniffed.

Evening, at a p@rt of the city**
Shane and Elena are holding hands, walking on the shore of a beach with smiles on their faces
“First time coming to a beach” Elena said
“Really?” Shane asked
” Yeah, sure” she smiled
“Want some ice cream?’ Shane asked
” I love ice cream!” She said
“Same with Samantha” Shane thought
“What’s your favorite flavor?” He asked
“Vanilla” she replied and Shane almost screamed, Samantha loves vanilla too
He pe-cked her immediately and locked eyes with her for a while before b!tt!g down on hisl-ips and it made her heart thump as usual
“St©p doing that” she said slowly
“You don’t like it when I bite myl-ips?” He asked
“I don’t mean it like that…I mean, it makes me feel somehow” she replied
” Somehow?”
” Yes”
” How?”
“Just somehow…weak” she replied and bit her bottoml-ip, wishing she hadn’t said that
“So I’m your weakness” Shane smiled
“No no!, I’m not saying…
He k!$$£d her cheek before she can finish
“I’ll go get the ice cream” he win-ked and left for the ice cream stand
Elena sl@pped herself lightly. “silly girl” she said silently, watching Shane as he got the ice cream
With a handsome smile on his cute face, Shane walked back to Elena with the two waffle ice cream cones in his hands, he looked sidewards and saw something shocking so he st©pped and looked at that side again
A man is wearing a face cap not far from the stand, secretly pointing a gun at a direction and when he traced the direction, it’s Elena!
“Elena…no” his mind said and he threw away the ice cream immediately
” Elena!!” He screamed, running the few inches left between them
He covered her and they fell together before the gunsh0t sounded and everyone had to l@ylow
Elena’s heart almost fell off at that, Shane stood and saw the guy running away
He ran after him fast, following him everywhere he goes, entering every corner he enters fearlessly, breathing heavily as he ran but he kept running
He crossed a road after him and almost got hit by a car, the guy ducked into a corner and he did too
The corner led to a silent dead end and he met the guy waiting alre-ady
“You wanna die?” The guy said, breathing heavily and coming closer to Shane
“You’re behind her accident the other time too right?” Shane asked
“Oh yeah, but I was s£nt, and till she’s dead, I won’t relent” he replied, bringing out his gun and pointing it directly at Shane’s forehead
Shane got scared that moment but decided to act smart
“Who s£nt you?” He asked, stylishly looking at the gun that’s pointed at his head
“You won’t ever get to know, but a certain thing is that that girl is gonna die” the guy replied and gently started pu-lling the trigger but Shane quic-kly hit his hand and the gun fell off then he punched the guy ha-rd on the cheek
“You’re begging for death” the guy said and kicked him
Shane spit out blood and fell loudly but he stood immediately
He ran with all his strength to the guy but the guy outsmarted him by dodging his move
Shane ran past him and he gr@bb£d the opportunity to stab Shane in the arm before taking to his heels
Shane fell on his knees, holding his stabbe-d arm ti-ghtly as blood started oozing out
Luckily, Elena ran into the place and almost st©pped breathing when she saw him
“Shane!” She shouted and ran to him
She knelt in front of him and rolled up his short sleeves, ma-king his stabbe-d arm visible, it was actually stabbe-d with a thin metal and it’s still stuck there as the blood kept rushing
Tears escaped her eyes as she watched. “What’s this?, What’s this!” She screamed
“Hey princess I’m not dead you know, so st©p crying” Shane said, wiping her tears
” But… you’re… you’re hurt… it’s bleeding so…. very much…it must hurt…a…a lot” she said in a cracking voice, crying more
Shane smiled and pu-ll-ed her to himself in a ti-ght hvg, stro-king her hair fondly
“Don’t let one more drop of tear fall from your eyes princess, I promise to protect you with my life Elena, I’d rather die than lose you” he said and pu-ll-ed her more closer to himself.
