*?WE FINALLY MET?*
Episode 07
“It’s ok if you don’t believe me. I un-derstand all what you’re going throu-ghright now but my intentions towards you are not bad ones. I can’t do anything to hurt you because I’m one of those fans who love seeing you happy”she said with a little smile. I was not able to say anything because I was short of words.
“Bye. I wish to see you again” she said and left shutting the door to my face. I moved back and sat gently on the couch hanging my head.
“I don’t want to fall victim again. I have a very flexible heart. I trust people easily and always end up been betrayed. I can’t let that happen again. Never! Even if she’s my fan, that doesn’t mean I can trust her because I have many of them who betrayed me too. I have to stay alone. I have to fight alone for what’s mine. I can’t stumble again. Enough of all this heartbreak. I have to fight back and clear my bad name.”I thought to myself ti-ghtening my fist.

******* Annabel’s POV ******
After work, I was leaving for home. I’ll have to take the taxi today because my car has a little fault.
When I got out, I met Josh by his car. “Goodbye miss Anna”he said smiling. “Oh goodbye”I replied.
I was walking to the bus stop but a car stopped beside me. “You didn’t bring your car today?”Josh asked looking at me. “Yes. It actually has little fault”I said. “Ok. Would you mind if I drop you off today then?”he asked. I first hesitated but he insisted so, I have no choice than to get in. I sat down using the seat belt then he continue driving. “I noticed you don’t look good today is there any problem?”he asked as I was staring blankly at the road. “That’s true.”I said not looking at him. “Oh. Can you share it with me?”he asked and I looked at him. He shrugged with a smile. “It’s nothing much. Don’t worry about me I’ll be fine”I said. “Ok. If you don’t wish to tell me.”he said.
“Uhmm. It’s about a friend if mine”I started.
“Well he is not really my friend because we are not that close.”I said with a little smile. Josh look at me then concentrated on the road. “What happened to her”he asked.
“It’s nothing bad. It’s just that he’s having a ha-rd time right now and I feel so hurt to see him that way. I wish to help him but he won’t trust me so I really don’t know what to do. That’s what has been on my mind since morning”I said playing with my fingers.
“Really? Maybe he can’t trust you because you guys are not really close or maybe he had been betrayed a lot in the past.”josh said.
“Oh. I guess that’s it”I said. “Well it’s ok. If you really want him to trust you, you have to prove it to him.”he said.
“Prove? How?”I asked staring at him.

I got home one evening and was in my room preparing some food. Even since that day incident, I didn’t see Dave again and wonder if all is ok with him or could he have moved from his apartment because of me? Or maybe he locks himself in all day because he doesn’t want to go out. I thought to myself.
After i’m done preparing the dishes, I served myself and put some in flask too.
I dressed myself properly and took the one in the flask heading out. “I hope he’ll accept it and welcome me this time”I said smiling. I got to Dave’s apartment, and pressed the bell. No one answered and I pressed it again. I pressed it the third time before someone opened the door. I couldn’t see anyone at the door step and was wondering who opened the door. I walked in slowly with the flask behind me. Everywhere was dark and I wonder if someone is still home. Of course it’s a person that opened the door. I looked around the dark room walking slowly and when I looked back, I saw a dark figure behind me. “Oh my God!”I screamed out of fear dropping the flask on the door and followed it after. I looked down in fear closing my eyes afraid to look up again. I opened my eyes and the lights came on. I looked up and saw dave before me. He was wearing black all throu-ghand was even covering his head with a big hoodie. I breath out feeling relieved. “Why are you dressed like that? You almost kill me”I said looking at him. He smi-rked looking at me. I stood up adjusting my dress. “Will you stop dressing like ghosts and stop scaring people”I said looking at him. He had this confused look on his face. “Why are you here?”he asked.
“I came here because I was worried about you.
You never came out, I don’t know if you’re fine or not. I didn’t see you for couple of days now so I wonder what’s going on with you”I said sounding worried. I looked back at the flask on the floor and took it up. “I brou-ght some side dishes for you. I can at least still do this as a caring neighbor right?”I said smiling while stretching the flask to him. He stares at me blankly with an expression I couldn’t read. He then smi-rked and rolled his eyes. “I’m sure you’re gonna enjoy it because I’m a great cook. I can bring more if this….”
“What do you want from me?”he asked staring at me. What does he mean? Am I not suppose to do this too?”I thought to myself staring at him strangely.
“How funny. The more I look at you, the more suspicious you are. Is there something you want to get from me?”he asked looking straight into my eyes while moving closer. I was stepping back slowly too staring at him. “But you’re so br@ve. How dare you come into a guy’s house by this time of the night?”he asked moving closer. I was moving back until I got to the wall and couldn’t move any further again. I froze looking at him in the eyes when he stopped before me. He placed his hands at both side of the wall looking straight into my eyes with a half smile. “Are you not scared of what might happen to you? Don’t you think that guy who you ba-rely know might be a dangerous guy truly?”he said. He tou-ched my ne-ck softly moving his li-ps to my ear. “What if he does something you didn’t expect him to?.”he asked. His hot breath fanned against my skin and sent shiver to down my spine. I closed my eyes holding my fist ti-ghtly and let out a soft sigh. “What if he truly did what he was accused of and do the same to you too?”he asked and brushed his li-ps softly against my collar bone.
“I believe you’re not that kind of person. I know you didn’t do it. I trust you.”I said. He moved from my ear and looked at my eyes.”Who are you to say you trust me? Do you even know me that much? You know nothing about me. You’re just a mare fan. What would you know about Dave?”he asked looking at me so closely. “Stop playing ha-rd to get. You’re not that kind of person. Stop forcing yourself to act tough it doesn’t suit you at all. I saw it all throu-ghyou. I trust and believe you’re not that kind of person even if no one does. I know you can’t”I said looking at him.
The expression on his face changed and he became calm. He dropped his hands from the wall with his sparkling brown eyes boring into mine. I took a de-ep breaths staring at him too.

Episode 08
****Dave’s POV****
Her words calmed me and I moved away from her leaving some space between us. So there’s still someone who still believe in me? There’s still a person who trust me.
“I wish to help but how can I do that when you don’t give me a chance? I want you to go back being that amazing dave who put smile on people’s face with his music. I love to see you sing and I wish you can do it again”she said looking at me. “Do you think I can do it again? Is there possibility I’ll be at the top again?”I asked staring at her. She smiled nodding her head.
“You will. I believe you can do it. Don’t give up keep going. It’s your dream you can’t stop chasing it until you get there”she said.
“Are you really wishing to help?”I asked and she nodded her head. “I will. I’m ready. If it’s to make you rise again, I’m fully ready to risk anything just for you”she said and my heart melted. I was staring at her without a word and she was smiling looking happy.
******* Annabel’s POV *******
It’s a Sunday morning and my day off too. I was cleaning up and rearranging my room because Rachael is coming to visit me with our old friends.
After I cleaned up everywhere and trashed the junks, I sat on the couch in the living room feeling exhausted. I took my phone and unlocked it.
It’s 9:10am. I guess Dave would still be indoor or probably gone to see his friends. I decided to send a message to him. “Good morning”I typed and sent it. Few minutes later, he replied. “Hy”
“How was your night?”I asked. “Not bad and yours?”he replied.
“Are you home?”I asked again.
“No, I’m not”
“Ok. When you get home,you can call me. I have something to tell you”
“Alright”
“Yeah”I replied and dropped my phone. I never told Rachael about who my neighbor is. I want to keep it a secret between both of us because I promised to. I rested my head back on the couch staring at the roof. I heard my phone ring tone and I took it thinking it’s Dave but to my disappointment, it is not.
Lovely dad was displayed on the screen. I frowned not wanting to pick it up. It went off then started ringing again. I don’t know why he’s calling. I’ve been refusing to pick his call since these days but he keep calling. My lovely dad just turn to someone I don’t want to hear his voice. I moved my hand to my phone slowly debating whether to pick it or not.
Finally, I picked it and placed the phone to my ear. “Annabel”I heard his voice but I kept mute. It has been a while I head that voice so I felt somehow. He called my name again but I didn’t reply. “Annabel are you there?”he asked but tears only dropped from my eyes. “Why are you like this Anna? Please come back home. I’ve missed you a lot. Don’t you even care to see me anymore? You remembered how you call often then telling me you miss me,has it changed?.”he asked. I sobbed and quickly ended the call. Tears streamed down my cheek uncontrollably.
Why do I hate him so much? He’s my dad but I don’t want to get involve with him anymore. I believed he neglected me because of his new family. My lovely dad turned to someone I don’t want to see but I miss him too.
I wish mum was still alive so we can live happily as we were before. I miss my mum so much.
I buried my face down crying out my heart.
“Honey we’re here”I heard Rachael’s voice and I quickly came out of my room.
I got to the living room and saw her with Lizzy and Bella. “Hy guys”I greeted sitting beside Rachael while they were both sitting opposite to us. “What’s up girl. Long time no see”Bella said with a smile. “Yes. It’s been long. How have you guys being?”I asked.
Lizzy and Bella are my old friends. We all went to the same high school and college. It has only been two years and their faces has changed.
We talk and gist about things.
After a while, I went to bring whine and some snack I prepared for them and turned on the music.
It was Dave’s song playing because I have a lot of them. The title is “my angel”
I went back to sit down and we continued our chats. “Wow looks like you’re Dave’s fan too?”Bella said smiling. “Yes I am”I replied and threw a snack into my mouth. “That’s good. I was one of his fan too”she said. “You were one of his fan?”I asked staring at her. “Yeah. Don’t you know about what he did?”Lizzy asked.
I was staring at them not replying. “Well the rumor was all over the internet. I stop being his fan because I think he is a pervert”Lizzy added.
Rachael looked at me and shook her head. “He might be accused wrongly. He is not what you guys think he is. He can’t do such thing.”I said. “Really? What if he truly did it? No one knows anyway but the pictures proved it all. now, everyone knows he’s nothing but a perverted je-rk”Bella said and I couldn’t control my anger again. “You better watch your mouth”I said in anger. Rachael pulled my skirt winking at me. Bella and Lizzy looks at me in confusion. I then came back to my senses. “Sorry guys. I think I overreacted. Don’t mind me”I said laughing. They both smiled too and drank some whine. I eyed them badly when they were not looking and Rachael pinched my arm.
******* Dave’s POV ******
I was coming back from my parents home and was heading back home. I wasn’t putting on a mask because I was in the car and I just left my family’s home too.
I was thinking about how things are going with me currently.
I have been thinking so ha-rd to remember what happened that night but I couldn’t. I’m sure something is wrong somewhere. Was I drugged? I have to remember for me to figure out how I’m going start my investigation.
I heard a ha-rd bump and I came back to my senses.
A car just bumped into me. I pulled over and got down from my car to check. The side mirror of the other car was broken and my car has a little scratch. I’m sure the car bumped into mine. The car pulled over too and a lady came out. She was putting on a red sleeveless short gown which was ti-ght and revealing her lap-s. She wore black heels and had a long hair tied in ponytail. “What the hell just happened?”she said looking at her car. She then raised up her head and faced me with her face frowned but immediately she saw me, her expression changed and she had a smile on. “I’m sorry I bumped into your car”she said looking at me. “Yes you should be sorry because you scratched my car”I said. “Oh my God. Are you really Dave?”she asked in excitement but I kept mute in confusion staring at her.
