Louis kept pleading till he was taken out of the h0tel fully
He was left outside and the securities stood by the door so he won’t enter
He looked at the h0tel sadly and hurtfully and started crying for the uptenth time today, his tears is so h0t that it can almost burn
“Cheryl!!!!!!!!” He screamed with all he has, almost losing his voice.
Dre’s car st©pped in front of the h0tel and he rushed out of the car before running to him
He held him and turned him to himself, the tears in his eyes is hurting Dre too and he almost cried but he held back the tears
Louis has never been like this before so seeing him like this is heartbreaking
“Louis” he said, checking him out
“She’s in…but she’s still so mad at me, she refused to see me, she ran away from me, Dre I’m really sorry, if only she could just let me apologise on my knees I’ll do that gladly, I want her back plea-se help me, Dre I’m not ok, she just has to come back for me to be ok, I’m lonely, hurt, sad, everything!” He said
” Let’s go home” Dre said
” No Dre, I nee-d to stay till she decides to talk to me, I nee-d to stay” he replied
“Don’t be stubborn, let’s go, I’ll find a way to bring her back, I promise” Dre said
Louis wiped his tears and smiled sadly
” Really?”
” Sure, let’s go, you nee-d to rest, just look at how pitiful you’ve turned when today is just the second day” Dre said and slowly took him to the car
He drove home with him and helped him out of the car to his house
Louis fell heavily on the couch and rested back
“I’ll tell my maid to cook something, what do you want?” Dre asked
“Nothing” he replied sullenly
” I’m sure you ate nothing yesterday and throu-ghout today you haven’t eaten anything and now you’re saying…” Dre said
” I’m not interested in any food, if it’s not cooked by her” he replied, closing his eyes
Dre sat beside him. ” I’ve never seen you like this before, even when you were d@t!nggranny Daisy and you both had misun-derstandings, you never cry, you only brood over it but now you’re crying , you’re not eating, you’re thinking and sick seriously, you surely feel something for her” he said
Louis went mute and inhaled ha-rder. ” I’ll help in anyway I can, trust me” Dre said
“Thanks, just help me bring her back, tell her I miss her so much, tell her I miss her company and smile, tell her I miss her food and her loving spirit, tell her I miss everything about her very much” he replied without opening his eyes
” Sure, now let’s go and eat” Dre replied
“Not till she comes back, ion feel like eating” he replied
” ha-rd ” Dre muttered.

Cheryl suddenly stood from behind the door and rushed out of the room, wanting to see him one more time
She got to the front of the h0tel and can’t find his car anymore, he’s gone
“He’s gone” she said sadly, bending down there
“I miss you and I love you so much, I’m sorry I couldn’t face you, I might just do something silly, seeing you like that, are you like that because of me?, Did you look that sickly because of me?, Louis” she cried

” Today is one of the best days of my life, the look on Miley’s face when you k!$$£d me in front of everyone was priceless” Elena laughed during the drive home
” And Mich looked like an old man who fell into a garbage can, I love the look on his face, he was apparently not expecting that move, I’m a bad boy” Shane said and Elena pe-cked him
“love you honeydrop”
“Love you more princess” he replied and almost immediately, a car crossed their car and they had to st©p
“What’s happening?” Elena said, coming out of the car with Shane with immense fear in her heart
Shane has no fear in him as a guy c@m£ out of the car with a gun in his hand
Shane quic-kly stood in front of Elena, covering her
“Shane…” Elena said fearfully, wanting to come to the front
“Stay behind… plea-se” he said
“Stay away, I only have score to settle with that girl” the guy said, pointing his gun at Shane
” If you have to kill her, then kill me first” Shane said boldly
“Then I won’t hesitate” the guy said and pu-ll-ed the trigger to shoot but instead, he was sh0t from another corner
Shane and Elena held their ears as the guy went down
They opened their eyes slowly and saw the guy’s b©dy laying lifelessly on the floor
“Huh!’ Elena said, about to start crying
” Who helped!” Shane yelled and his voice echoed loudly
Slowly, a figure c@m£ out of nowhere and when he c@m£ closer, he turned out to be a man who fixed his gaze on Elena
“Who are you?, Why did you help?” Shane asked but he kept looking at Elena
Shane covered Elena again. ” Who are you?, Why did you help?” He asked again
“Clemson Carl, I was pas-sing by when I saw the scene, I decided to help, no strings attached” he replied simply
” Really?” Shane asked
” Sure” Carl replied and Elena c@m£ out from behind Shane
Carl smiled at her and somehow, his smiling face is cool though he’s handsome even without smiling but maybe he looks more cuter with a big smile
“I’m Clemson Carl” he said, offering Elena an handshake
Elena took the hand and Immediately their hands t©uçhed, she felt something she can’t explain
He let go of her hand slowly. “Nice meeting you guys, you both look cute anyways, and young guy, I love your courage, keep staying by her” Carl smiled and left immediately
” Why did I feel like I know him” Elena wondered
Shane held her hand. ” Maybe because he saved us, but it’s high time we talk about who these people trying to kill you are, we nee-d to be extra careful from now on cos it seems to be getting more and more real” Shane said, getting in the car with her
He drove her home before driving back to his house
He ate slowly while thinking about the man earlier
“Clemson Carl, who’s he?, I feel like he’s more than what he said, is he related to Elena?, That must be it” he thought
He stood after taking few bites of his meal
“And about her mum, I think it’s high time I meet her too” he said
When the scene of how he k!$$£d Elena in clas-s earlier rushed back, he can’t help but laugh out loud
“I’m bad .. I swear” he said, getting serious again
“Samantha…. Elena, it’s somehow intertwined, I don’t think it’ll be a good thing to introduce her to Cheryl or Mr and Mrs Tanner again since this is happening, but they’ll soon find out right?, When the resemblance is too much” he thought.
****
” Again? ” Bella said guiltily after Elena told her everything that happened
Thomas has never come back home since he got threatened by Shane so it’s just the two of them
“Yes, I almost got killed together with Shane but a man saved us” she said
“Someone? ” Bella said
” Yes… He told us his name.. em… Carl” Elena said and Bella’s eyes wi-de-ned
” You mean… Clemson Carl?” She asked shockingly
“How did you know?, Yes, that’s his full name” Elena replied
” Carl” Bella said, holding her che-st
” Mum… ”
” Don’t worry I’m ok… Make sure to put off the lights before going to be-d” Bella said and entered her room
“What’s up with her again? ” Elena thought.

Next day, Golden br@ins high**
Shane is with the project supervisor since he told him to come see him in his office
Elena sat de-ep in thoughts about her mum’s reaction when she heard her saver’s name
“Did she know him?, Is that why I’m having the feeling that I know him? ” She thought silently
” Hey, thinking about what? ” Eros asked beside her
” Oh…. Nothing much” she replied and stood
” I nee-d to use the washroom, I’ll be back” she said and left the clas-s
She walked there slowly and washed her hand since it feels gummy
She wiped it with tissue and looked at herself in the mirror
“Why do I feel uncomfortable?, Like I’m not who I know I am?, I feel uneasy since last night” she said to herself
She raised her shi-t from her tummy a little bit and smiled when she saw the sp©ts are gradually fading away
That’s what she does since she started using the b©dy treatments, she checks out her b©dy every now and them
She walked to the door and locked it before coming back to the mirror
She slowly took off her shi-t and that left her with only her singlet
“It’s improving a lot, in a week or two weeks from now, I’ll have a sp©tless clean skin” she smiled and wore her shi-t back
” Whoa!, So the so called Elena is not only trash but a leopard, just look at the disgusting sp©ts” Sydney said, coming out of her hiding place
Elena’s heart almost flew out throu-gh her mouth when she saw her with a phone on her hand
“Thankfully I took a clear picture, what do you think the students will think of you or say about you when they see this?, Utter disappoint” Sydney laughed
” You nee-d to delete that” Elena said, trying to take the phone from her but Sydney hid it behind her
“St©p trying, I got what to destroy you with and you think I’ll let it go easily?”Sydney said
” You can’t do that” Elena said
“Are we friends?, Shush it and get out” Sydney said and left fast
” I’m dead” Elena thought as she stepped out of the washroom
She got to clas-s and saw Sydney talking with Laurette and Miley, she got fearful, thinking she’s telling them about her sp©ts
Sitting shakily, she can’t seem to get herself composed till Shane c@m£ back in
“Baby” he smiled, sitting on her table but a look at her face, he knows she’s not ok
“Baby are you ok?” He asked, standing up to bend beside her chair
“I’m …ok” she replied awkwardly
Shane pu-ll-ed her hand out of the clas-s immediately
****
” Cool, this is exactly what I nee-d” Miley smiled immediately she was shown the picture
” So, should we make this go viral?” Sydney said
Mich entered the clas-s immediately and Miley smiled
“No, let’s blackmail her with this for a while” she replied
“I can’t wait to see the great Elena obeying our orders” Laurette grinned
“I’ll have to work with Mich, I’m sure this will be a great ban-g” Miley smiled.
****
” What’s happening?” Shane asked immediately he got out with Elena who looks restless
“I’m ok” she replied slowly
He held her face and looked her in the eyes
“that’s not true, you’re not ok, I know” he said
“Shane….” She said
” Yes baby?, Tell me what happened?, Was it Mich again?, Or Miley?, Princess tell me anything” he probe-d
” I love you” she said and hvgged him ti-ghtly
” More more Princess, calm down and tell me everything” he said, hvgging her back.

IU h0tel**
“There’s a man waiting to see you here at the reception” the receptionist’s voice said over the telephone in Cheryl’s room
“A man?” She said weakly
“Yes, Mr Dre Marcus” the voice replied
“Dre?,… Oh, let him in” she replied and dropped the telephone
She sat on the be-d edge and a knock sounded on her door some minutes later
“Come in” she said
Dre c@m£ in with a smile on his face and took his seat on the available sofa
“How have you been doing?” Cheryl asked
” Seriously?, I should be the one asking that, you’ve become skinny” Dre replied
” Oh..I guess so” she smiled sadly
“You miss him right?” Dre said and Cheryl went mute
” You both are like….I don’t even know what to compare the both of you with ” Dre said
” Is he ok?” She finally talked
” Ok?, That word is far from his dictionary right now cos he’s seriously sick” Dre replied
” Seriously sick?, Is it bad?, Why will he fall sick?” Cheryl asked, standing up
” You don’t get it?, He misses you so much and he can’t bear your abs£nce, he told me to tell you he misses Everything about you and he told me to plead for you to come back…” Dre said
” He…he.. seriously said that?” Cheryl said
” Yes, he’s going nuts, just go back to him, plea-se I beg you” Dre said and stood
He made to kneel but Cheryl st©pped him
“I’ll go with you, I want to see him too, plea-se let’s go” she said
” Really? ”
” Yes, I’ve missed him so much too, I just felt bad seeing him in that state yesterday, that was why I ran away, but now I can’t help but want to see him badly, plea-se let’s go, I don’t nee-d to pack my things, it’s useless” she replied
Dre smiled and led the way out of the room
They eventually left the h0tel and he drove her to his house where Louis has been staying since last night
The drive was long but smooth though she got more and more impatient throu-ghout
They got to Dre’s house and went in together
“He has been in his room since last night, he won’t eat and won’t talk to me” Dre said
Cheryl climbe-d upstairs while Dre followed behind
“It’s the middle room” he said
She knocked when she got there but got no response
She opened the door and went in, his back is on her cos he’s sitting on a chair in the room with his head on the table
“Louis” she called slowly
His ears recognized her voice immediately and he slowly stood as if in a slow mo
He turned around and even the heavens know he’s overjoyous Immediately he saw her
“Ch… Cheryl” he stuttered unbelievably
“Yeah… it’s me sweetheart” she replied, smiling wi-dely
“Cheryl” he said again, slowly walking to her
“My everything” she replied on her sp©t
Louis took just three steps to cover the space between them
He raised his shaky hands to her cheeks and held it softly
“It’s really you” he said, letting his tears of joy fall
” You’re crying” she said
“Just that….I missed you so much” he said
” I missed you more, the three days were lived in sadness” she replied
He immediately went on his knees
“You can choose to sl@p me, I’ll take everything you do, I’m so sorry” he said, closing his teary eyes
” I’m not mad at you” she replied, bending down to wipe his tears
He opened his eyes and held her hands
“Cheryl….”
“I love you” she interrupted
” I’ve never been good, but I promise to be nice, caring from now on and do everything you want” he said
” I want that” she smiled
He stood with her and smiled.
” I’m glad you’re back to me” he said, tou-ching her hair slightly
He held her face and k!$$£d it all round, ma-king her blus-h wi-dely before hvgging her ti-ghtly, gently ru-bbing the back of her n£¢k
“Enough of the lovey dovey in my house, time to go to your house, you guys are suffocating me” Dre said by the door
They never answered, they kept ti-ght£ñing the hvg
“I’ll spoil you real bad, pamper you like a baby and treat you like an egg, now I know how much you mean to me…” Louis whispered into her ear.
