Amanda woke up to a beer bottle on her stomach. The sun had found a way into the parlour which was beginning to smell like alcohol. Amanda managed to lift her hand as she looked across the room, she saw Bethany and Jane lying on the sofa opposite hers. Standing up, she hit Bethany on the hit to wake her up.

"Girl, what the hell?"

"You are a bad older sister. How could you get hammered with your little sisters in the house?" 

Bethany rubbed her eyes with her hand and she could finally see the sight of Amanda staring back at her made her want to throw up. "Will you stop looking at me like that? You got hammered too!" 

"And that's because you didn't stop me at all," Amanda said as she crossed over to the kitchen. Bethany watched her as she fixed a cup of coffee for both of them. 

"I'm going to check on my siblings." 

"Oh now you want to be a good big sister," Amanda taunted her as she opened the cabinet that she knew they stored the drugs, removed an aspirin and swallowed it.

"They are fine," Bethany said as she came back downstairs. "They are still sleeping." 

"Did you check if they were still breathing?" Amanda laughed as Bethany threw an apple at her. She passed a cup of coffee over to her. The taste of the black coffee was exactly what Bethany needed to clear the horrible taste from her mouth. She loved drinking but the aftertaste of all alcoholic drinks always disgusted her. Jane woke up just in time to get a cup of coffee as well. After the trio had both sipped their drinks, Jane thanked them.

"Thank you Bethany but I have to be leaving now. I have a class this afternoon and I just hope that I will be able to meet up with it on time." 

"The problem is not meeting up with the class. It's actually understanding anything that will be taught in that class," Amanda said as she took another sip of her coffee while ignoring the looks she was getting from Bethany and Jane.

"Ignore her, she gets like that when she has a hangover," Bethany said as escorted Jane out of the house. She came back to see Amanda pouring another glass of coffee for herself.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you say a thing like that?" 

"I'm sorry. I didn't know that it's now a bad thing to speak the truth." Amanda said sarcastically. 

"Amanda, you are really a case, you know that?" Bethany said as she went back to drinking her coffee.

"I know right? Hey, when will we be going to meet that friend of yours?" 

"What in the world are you talking about?" 

"The guy you said can repair my dress. We are still meeting him today, right?" 

"Of course. I just need to prepare these guys for school. After dropping them off, we can go." Bethany said as she finished her last cup of coffee and headed upstairs to wake her siblings up while Amanda headed up to her room and used her shower to clean herself up.

They met at the door with Bethany's siblings dressed for school. Bethany threw a wicked glare at Amanda who seemed less concerned that she didn't help with any of the chores. 

"Don't look at me like that. At least I ordered an Uber," Amanda said as she focused her eyes on the road.

"Yeah, but you could have at least helped me make breakfast?"

"Why are you complaining so much? They still ate, didn't they? Then it all worked out fine. Oh look, the driver is here." Bethany stood by and watched as her siblings and Amanda ran to the car and she lost all hope of her friend ever being nice to another human being.

Amanda was happy that they were finally done with dropping Bethany's siblings at school. At least now she could focus on herself. She gave the driver the address to the tailoring shop that Bethany had told her about. She could hear her phone buzz and as soon as she picked it up, she dropped it back down but still, the phone continued ringing.

"You know, if you won't pick it up you can at least silence it?" Bethany said when she was getting tired of listening to the sound of her phone ringing.

"It's my parents. They are probably calling to find out where I am," Amanda scoffed. "Like they actually expect me to believe that they care about me." 

"You know, sometimes Amanda you could be so annoying. Of course, your parents care about you. I wonder what would make you think that they don't?" 

"Well, for starters, they took my car key and then made it absolutely impossible for me to get my inheritance." Amanda held her mouth as she cursed herself for letting the truth slip out.

"What do you mean by that?" Bethany asked looking intently at Amanda who didn't say a thing. "Amanda, I am talking to you." Amanda had turned her face away from Bethany because she didn't want her to see the tears that were starting to form in her eyes. Bethany turned her towards her by the shoulder but by then, the car had come to a halt and Amanda rushed out of it

Bethany sighed as she paid the driver and left the cab.

"Amanda, we are not done talking about this." 

"Okay, but could you direct me to the shop will you stay here and talk about it with my shadow?" 

Bethany sighed. "It's right there," she said as she pointed to a faded colour building and Amanda's eyes followed her.

"Thank you," Amanda said as she walked away. She opened the door and the smell of old clothes engulfed her. 

"You can't throw up here," Jake said after he had seen the distorted face of a beautiful girl standing in his company shop. He desperately wanted to see her face when she wasn't disgusted by something.

"And who are you to tell me what to do?" Amanda said with anger and Jake's face distorted alongside hers.

    Chapter SeventeenTen minutes seemed like more than enough time for Jane to arrive at Laura's house.She lived with her mother. The woman had lost her husband two years back and Laura felt like she didn't need to be alone. So she packed out of her one room apartment and moved back in with her mother."Bye guys." Laura shouted out as she closed the door."Bye aunty Laura." In between bites, Cassidy was still able to respond to the greeting."How are you doing over there baby girl?" Jane asked as she looked at her daughter from the driver's window."I'm doing okay mom. This cake is delicious. It's the best I've ever had.""Well, he did say that you were going to enjoy it. I guess he wasn't lying.""How did you meet him again?"Jane decided that it was best if her daughter didn't know everything that had happened."He came to me. Yeah, he came to apologize and he brought the gift.""Well, he is a very nice man then. I think I like him."You and me both Cass, you and me both.Jane eyes fo

    "Damn it!" Emily cursed under her breath. Every time she was beginning to have a quiet moment with Sebastian, something or someone just always had to ruin it. She could see the spark in his eyes and she knew that he was seeing her in another light. The kind of light that Emily wanted her to see him in. And now her phone just had to go and ring, interrupting the moment she was sharing with him. She removed the phone from her handbag and was more annoyed when she saw the caller ID."Yes?" She was afraid that if she had said more words, the man would have sensed her anger and wanted to find a way to relieve her of it. But Williams didn't need to see her before he could sense the mood that she was in. "Em, are you alright?" He had the same caring tone in his voice which Emily hated. She had never seen Williams as a passionate man. To her he was too bland and empty, nothing drove him to the edge. Nothing made him think outside the box, he was a calculative, arranged and organized man. It

    The bar was filled with people. Andy's has always had a full house mostly because he had good music and his staffs were as kind as the day was bright. Emily could spot some foreigners in the bar. It was a normal thing for them to always occupy all the space there. The town of Los Angeles always had people trooping into it because not only was it a tourist site, but it was also a place where opportunities could come through. Anything was possible or at least that is what they believed. They had one had a cowboy come into town with their hippy-dippy style of dressing. Once he was settled in, he opened a salon and it was his favourite place to go. Soon, he had been transformed into an LA man. It was difficult to transform him but he had the kind of spirit that could adapt to anything at any time.Emily walked towards the counter, but Andy was nowhere in sight. The cute little bartender had always had a thing for Emily but just like Williams, Emily had only considered him good as a friend

    The drive back to her company was awfully quiet. It would have been a great time to have company, like that of Sebastian. Looking at the driver's mirror, she could almost see his perfectly symmetrical face and his tattooed arms. He had a dangerous aura around him, and there was nothing that Emily loved more than danger. Emily shook her head. She shouldn't be noticing anything about him. She shouldn't be even thinking about him. She should focus on how weird and awkward it will be when she meets Williams the next time. Deciding to cross that bridge when she gets to it, Emily swerved into the parking lot. There, she saw Sebastian waiting for it.She could hear her heart racing, she could feel her blood running into her ears. She grabbed on tightly to the steering wheel. Did he have to be so attractive? Did he have to make her want him so badly? Realizing that those weren't the things she should be thinking about, she turned off her engine and focused on getting rid of him.To hell with

    It was becoming clear that all the people Sebastian was getting acquitted with were dangerous men and they all knew Ethan. The man that approached them was covered with tattoos and the more Sebastian observed him, the more he noticed the cliche way the man was dressing. He had on nose rings and an earring on his eyebrows."Hello, Denzel," Ethan said as he stood up."I see we are now mates, if not what would give you the courage to address me by my name?" "I don't believe they are any secrets between us."Denzel's couldn't take his eyes off the little brat that had almost gotten him arrested. He had sworn that the next time he sees him, he would be a dead man. But he had come with Chairman's men and anyone who wanted to live knew not to mess with Chairman. The man could do unimaginable things to his victim but still behave like he was doing nothing. "I don't think we do," Denzel said as he offered a smile his way and ushered them to their seats. "So I'm curious to know, how did a ric

    Sebastian had hoped that he would never get to see the building that threatened to end his life whenever he stepped foot into it. Reluctantly, Ethan and Sebastian moved towards the door and one of the men nugged them along."What? So when you are not chatting like little girls, you guys chose to irritate me by walking like snails?" The man said with anger in his voice. As much as Sebastian wanted to reply to him, he decided to save his strength for when he would need to run away from Maverick and his gang and if he couldn't, he would fight his way out. He didn't mind getting shot, anything was better than working full time for him.They didn't pass through the club as they did before. The entrance was a lot narrower and the presence of two guards gave the clear message of the entrance being off limits to regular party freaks. They walked in the dark for what felt like hours but was only five minutes and Sebastian kept praying that they weren't passing through the human body room. Sud
