Episode 13 & 14 : GUNSHOT!!!
Brooklyn made sure she deepened the kiss at all cost, because she knew he’ll want to break it. She held his face delicately in her hands, kissing him fiercely and gradually, lake started giving in.
She grinned into the kiss as her hands went to his back, caressing it sweetly. And that seemed to have a lot of effect on lake, cause he held her closer to himself, kissing her back in the same pace.
She kept moáning sweetly as they kissed, not even minding where they were.
🗣️ Go get a room!!
🗣️ Aren’t they embarrassed??. Making out in public.
🗣️ This is so intense!!!
🗣️ There’s an hotel not too far from here. Go there instead and stop making out in the wrong place.
At the sound of that, lake got back to his sénses and blinked twice. He broke the kiss immediately and pushed her far away from him.
” Oucch!” Brooklyn moáned out in pain as she crashed to the ground, bruising her knee in the process.
Lake’s gaze met with chelsea’s. She had the mixture of both disgust and pain in her eyes. He could vividly see them.
His eyes turned dark instantly. He grabbed brooklyn’s wrist tightly and pulled her out like a dóg.
” Hey! Let go of me!! Stop this right this instant!! Stop!!!” She kept yelling, but it all fell on deaf ears. They got to the entrance of the restaurant and he threw her to the streets.
” Lake i…” Before she could even complete her statement, a thunderous slap landed on her face. Brooklyn gasped, holding her stinging cheek as she stared at lake in shock.
She couldn’t believe that he’d ever lay his hands on her. The whole situation was hard to process at once.
” Don’t ever let me set my eyes on you again. Fúck what we had, it’s all over!! I’m never having anything to do with you ever again!!” He shouted.
” Are you raising your voice at me because of that bitçh in there??. What does she have that i don’t?? Answer me!!” Brooklyn half yelled, tears trickling down her cheeks.
Lake scoffed and stormed back into the restaurant, ignoring all her questions intentionally.
Brooklyn started crying loudly, she ruffled her hair in anger while trashing her legs on the floor.
After some time, she picked her bag and left the restaurant since there was nothing more for her to do.
Chelsea rested her back on the kitchen door, while covering her face with her palms. She couldn’t hide the fact that her heart was aching, and badly.
What was she even expecting from a rich kid. They’re all the same anyways. Liars, chéats and most of all PLAYERS.
” Hey! Miss feisty” She heard lake’s voice from outside, and that made the tears she was trying to contain fall freely.
She palmed her lips and sobbed silently, so it’ll come out muffled.
” I know you’re in there. Please we’ve got to talk. I need to explain everything to you” He pleaded.
” Chelsea get a hold of yourself. Go out there and clear things up. Yes!! I can do it…yes!!” She cleaned her face with the apron, and walked out with a frown plastered on her face.
” I…”
” There’s no need for you to explain anything to me. That’s your private life. I have nothing to do with you, so there’s no need for all this. Please excuse me, i have better things to do” Chelsea said and left.
Lake’s shoulder fell. He kicked the air and ruffled his hair frustratingly.
ELEONOR & NOV’S DORMITORY››3PM**
Eleonor entered the room with a novel in her hands and met november on the bed. She was in tears, and she wondered what made her that way.
” Nov??” She called and she tilted her head to the direction of the voice. When she realized it was her, she quickly cleaned her face trying to hide her tears but eleonor already saw them.
She strode towards her and sat next to her on the bed. November quickly faked a smile and placed her head on her ( Eleonor’s) shoulder.
” What is it?? Why were you tearing up just now??. Did something bad happen??” Eleonor asked worriedly and she shook her head.
” I’m fine. As a matter fact, i’ve never felt so better in my life” She replied and eleonor creased a brow in confusion as she stared at her.
She touched her forehead and truly she was all good.
” Really??” She asked and nov nodded.
” Since you don’t want to explain to me why you were crying, i’ll tell you why am in a good mood. Earlier today, i was on my way to the….”
” I am in love with henry. I want him all to myself. I want to date him. And i think he feels the same way too, cause he kissed me today” November interrupted and eleonor pressed her lip in a thin line.
” Why aren’t you saying anything?? Aren’t you happy for me??” November pouted cutely, but she had bad thoughts running through her mind.
‘ Does she really not know about what happened between him and i?? Or is she just faking not to??. But why would she!” Eleonor found herself thinking but she quickly shook her head, brushing the thought off.
She cleared her throat and caught november completely off guard with a hug.
” Of course i am. Congratulations in advance. Am sure he’s going to be the best boyfriend in the world, so be happy okay??” Eleonor tightened the hug and bit her lip guiltily. Did she just betray her best friend by accidentally kissing her man?.
‘ You better be serious about this, eleonor. The moment i find out that you have any feelings for him, you’re so doomed’ November’s subconscious mind thought evíly.
U3’S SUITE**
Nathaniel rubbed his eyes as he sat properly on the couch. His friends were already sound asleep. He sighed deeply and made his way to the bathroom for a shower.
When he was done, he settled on a sweatpant and a plain t-shirt. He fixed his earphone on his ear, and unintentionally, his mind drifted to autumn.
‘ Why do i feel weird?? Why can’t i get her out of my mind??’ He wondered and pinched his brows.
His phone vibrated on the table, bringing him back to reality. He placed his earphone to the side and picked it up immediately.
He groaned when he saw a message from his father.
💬 WE REALLY NEED TO TALK, SON. MEET ME AT THE MANSION BY 4PM, I’LL BE WAITING” The message read.
In his half-sane state, looking at the clock, it read 3:30pm in the evening.
” Gosh. This man won’t be the déath of me. Who the fúck sends a message thirty minutes to the assigned time??” He mumbled and quickly rushed to his wardrobe to change into something better.
GARDEN**
” Good evening father-in-law. I hope you’ve been good??” Galaxy giggled over the phone, blushing like an idíot.
He remained quiet for a while, but replied to her question afterwards.
” Yes. Thanks child. What do i owe this pleasant call for??. Don’t tell me nathaniel did something stvpid again!!” He replied and she shook her head as if he could see her.
” No father. It’s about something else that can’t be discussed over the phone. I’ll be in the mansion shortly” She replied hurriedly and ended the call before he could even say anything else.
MCKAY’S MANSION›››4PM SHARP**
Mr. McKay scoffed and turned for the umpteenth time. He sat up and stretched his hand to the center table, pouring himself a glass of whiskey.
He paused to light a cigarette and then he spotted his bodyguard walking in.
” Is he here yet??” He asked coldly and the man shook his head in response.
” There’s a young lady here instead. She said she has to speak with you. It’s really urgent” The man replied and he( Mr. McKay) tucked his cigarette in his mouth.
” Let her in. That must be my daughter-in-law” He muttered, and the man nodded before rushing out.
” Long time no see, Miguel McKay” A scary, dévil-like voice filled the air around him. He looked up at the person, and his mouth dropped open at once.
Autumn was standing there in all glory, glaring at him. She was in all black, literally.
Black turtleneck sweater, black skinny pants, black boots, and a black coat over her clothes. Every single thing on her screamed DANGÉR from head to toe.
” How did you get in here??. And who the fúck are you??” He feigned ignorance, and quickly reached for his revolver that was in between the couch. He keeps it there for times like this.
” Am going to end this now. Say hello to your family, in héll” He aimed the gun at her, and at that exact time two people walked in.
” Let’s see about that..” Autumn said and a fight started between the both of them.
Autumn tried to kick the gun out of his hands with a karate kick, but he threw her a had blow. She fell and blood rushed out of her nostrils.
” What in the world is going on here?? Autumn!!! Dad!!!” Nathaniel shrieked, while galaxy hid behind him to avoid getting hurt.
That was a huge distraction, cause autumn got up to Mr. McKay and held the revolver too. They struggled and struggled, each person not making any means to give up.
The next thing they heard was a…
GUNSHOT!!!
Episode 15 & 16 : THE SECRET GETS OUT
It felt like time froze, cause everyone stood transfixed on their spot. Their eyes widened as the scene played in their head, and galaxy quickly pushed nathaniel away from herself.
The bullet met just him. He placed his hand on his already bleeding stomach and slumped to the floor with a loud thud.
” Dad…” He trailed, coughing out a whole load of blood. His vision became blurry, and before they knew it, his hand fell and his eyes closed shut.
Mr. McKay just stood there, trying to figure out a way to hide the revolver. He didn’t give a care in the world about what he’d just done to his son.
” No!! Please…no!!” Autumn screamed fearfully, rushing to nathaniel who was now lying unconsciously on the ground.
She crouched to his level and placed his head on her laps, trying to keep her tears at bay as they kept wetting his face.
Her expression tightened as if all of her facial muscles were holding in her emotions, and only just managing to contain them.
” Don’t díe on me you chimpanzee. Please wake up!! I have a lot of things to say…to express how am feeling. How will i do that if you’re déad?? Answer me!!” She wailed. The pain she felt in her heart hounded her, that all she wanted to do was DÍE.
Galaxy frowned, and quickly dashed towards them with the aim of pushing autumn aside. Little did she know that toys were on her path.
” Ahhh!!” She shrieked as she tripped and fell on her face. Her temples got bruised and she passed out immediately.
” Boss. The cops are here and they have a search warrant” A bodyguard came in running and he gasped at the sight before him. Before he could do anything to fix the scene, the cops barged in.
” Miguel McKay. You have the right to remain silent, cause anything you say and do will be used against you in the court of law. Handcuff him” One of the policemen said and he ( Mr. McKay) chuckled devílishly.
” Who reported me?? And why do i have to be the one to get arrested??. She pulled the fuçking trigger and not me” He frowned, pointing at autumn who was sitting on the floor, crying her eyes out.
” I did” A tiny, cute, angel-like voice said from behind and everyone turned. Autumn froze at who she saw.
” Wi…n…ter??” She stuttered, rising to her feet to get a clearer look at his face. Is she hallucinating right now!?.
He looked so identical to her déad brother. Their green eyes, pointed nose, red lips, almost everything was the same, except from the fact that he had blonde hair.
” My name is Cole and not winter. Right mom??” The little boy turned while speaking.
With swift movements, a séxy looking woman came into view. She’s been hiding there the whole time.
She was slim, and her bare shoulders and arms were flawless. Her gown looked quite expensive, and her demeanor was so calm and composed.
Autumn: “……”
Readers: “……”
” Mu…mum??” Autumn stuttered again as she stared at the woman in complete shock. She watched as the woman swiftly walked towards her and touched her cheek in a motherly way.
” We’re here to do our jobs, and not for a family reunion. Please excuse us” The second policeman said as the paramedics walked in.
They put nathaniel’s unconscious body on a stretcher, and the policemen handcuffed Mr. McKay. He didn’t struggle, he just followed them till they were out of sight.
” How?? I need explanations now…cause am fuckiñg going çrazy” Autumn ruffled her hair and yanked the woman’s hand off her face.
” It all started when….”
FLASHBACK, FOURTEEN YEARS AGO**
” What did you just say??” Mrs. Kennedy asked impatiently as she stood behind Mr. McKay, who was looking at his laptop screen.
An anonymous person sent some pictures to him. And among them is a picture of his wife and his BESTFRIEND, making out in an hotel.
” Am fuckiñg going to kíll him. I’ll wipe out his entire family linage. How dare he??” He roared, and Mrs. Kennedy sucked in her breath and turned around.
She watched as he rushed to his wardrobe and brought out a gun, her eyes widened.
” What are you planning to do with that?? Please don’t do something stvpid. You’re not the only one who got chéated on, so why are you flaring up??. Don’t let our twenty years friendship get destroyed because of your temper” She pleaded in tears. He suddenly bursted out in laughter, confusing her even more.
” Friendship??. Pffffft. Fúck our friendship. Am ending this today, and i’ll start from you” He smirked and aimed the gun at her.
” Please don’t do this. Don’t ruin your life by getting your hands dirty. I’ll do anything you want…. just don’t do this” She rubbed his chest and gave him the puppy teary eyes.
The moment he saw her wiping her tears with the back of her palm, he felt a lump in his throat.
‘ Why is she affecting me so much?’ He wondered, as his gaze was fixed on her face.
” Marry me. Be my woman and i’ll spare your life. Am not promising to spare your families life…but i’ll spare yours!!” Mr. McKay said and rested on the wall.
She had no choice but to agree, for her own selfish reasons. There was no way that she could convince him not to do it… cause when he sets his mind on something, he does it without delay.
” We’ll fake your déath. That’s the only way out of this… okay!?” He muttered softly and she nodded nonchalantly, biting her lip guítily.
BACK TO THE PRESENT DAY**
Autumn stared at her mother for a while, before crashing to the floor like a weightless leaf.
” You did that to your own family because you wanted to live??. How could you??. My poor…brother!! Winter didn’t deserve this….you fuçking ruined his life. You MONSTÉR, i haté you. I cursé the day i ever came to this life by you…i cursé the day i ever saw your stvpid face. You shouldn’t have showed up in the first place, you should have just diéd with them. You made me this way…cold, harsh and rude to people who tried to get close to me. Now i see that all this was pointless….DÍE!! Just díe and let me be!!” Autumn shouted and stormed out of the room.
Mrs. Kennedy ran after her, after coming back to her senses. She held her hand, as she tried to run out of the house.
” Let go of me right this instant! I haté you….i fuçking háte you Vivian Kennedy” She took her hand in her mouth, and bite it really hard.
” You id!ot. I’ll make sure you go on your knees for your son, and i swear it, even when you do, your life will be a living héll. You will suffér greatly. His spirit will háunt you forever!!” She spat at her.
She entered her vehicle, and the driver drove off in an instant. Autumn threw her head against the soft leather seat, bit her lips and could only sob.
” Where to ma’am??” The chauffeur asked. She turned her head sideways, and parted her lips to speak.
” The cemetery” She choked on her tears.
THREE DAYS LATER››1:30PM**
AN HOSPITAL**
Autumn and galaxy rushed into the ward after the doctor told them to enter.
Nathaniel was unconscious on the bed, his stomach and head completely bandaged since he recently had surgery. It was a success!!.
” Nathaniel!” They both rushed to hold his hand. Galaxy frowned and pushed autumn aside.
” The last time i saw something like you, i flushed it down the toilet” Galaxy said and a heavy slap was what followed.
Galaxy tried to retaliate, but autumn caught her hand in mid-air.
” How dare you!? How dare you lay those filthy hands of yours on me??” Galaxy yelled at her, and ran her hands in her hair, fuming heavily.
” And i’ll do it over and over again until your brains power is finally restored” Autumn yelled back and slapped her again.
” Did you just….”
Autumn slapped her again, more harshly this time.
” Remember my instructions, no noise” The doctor in charge walked in and they both glared at him. Galaxy fixed her hair and walked out in shame.
” Please wake up. I need you” Autumn sniffed slowly as she shifted her eyes to nathaniel.
THREE WEEKS LATER**
EVERGLADES UNIVERSITY›››SATURDAY AFTERNOON**
Eleonor left the dormitory to the parking lots with her friends and marveled at the number of students who were willing to go to her home.
Today is their free day, and she invited them over to her place to have the best time of their lives. Her mom makes the best tamales, their really excited about it.
” Wow.. so you all really mean business?” She asked looking at the students.
” Are you seriously going to my house? Like all of you??” She asked, folding her hands under her bóóbs.
” Can we come along??. We have nothing to do here anyways” Lake said from behind and everyone turned to look at them.
Several hearts skipped beats, some almost fainted, while some drooled bitçhily.
🗣️ Can’t believe i’ll be spending an entire day with the U3…ohh i mean U2.
🗣️ Gosh!! This is so exciting.
🗣️ Mom was right about….” She got interrupted.
🗣️ She’s always right about your dresses, fúck off bitçh. It’s lame!
” Yeah. Sure” Eleonor stuttered as her gaze met with henry’s.
November frowned secretly beside her, balling her hands into a fist.
” I’ll ride with you guys” November quickly said, and hanged her hands on henry’s shoulder. He frowned and gently took it off in the polite way ever.
” Ohh. Then i’ll ride with the others” Eleonor smiled and everyone started entering their respective cars.
” If you’re planning to come with us too, then find your way yourselves” Eleonor said to brooklyn and galaxy, taking the passengers seat of a 200L student.
He turned on the engines and the car rode out of the parking lot, with galaxy’s car trailing behind.
THE RODRIGO’S RESIDENCE**
Their home looks just like a palace. It’s really fancy and loaded with expensive decorations. Despite all this, they don’t have a single maid working for them.
They do their things themselves.
The house has ten extra bedrooms aside from theirs, and eleonor has always wondered why her parents built so many rooms when they’re just three in numbers. She’s the only child.
Mrs. Rodrigo made plenty different types of dish too, before rushing to her room to wash up.
When she was done dressing, she sprayed a little cologne on her neck, preparing for the countless hugs she’ll receive.
” They’re here..” Mr. Rodrigo said, before walking out of the room.
” Wow. Your home is marvellous. I’m sure the interior will surely be like heaven on Earth” A student said and november rolled her eyes.
‘ Marvellous my @ss’ Galaxy said inwardly and swayed her hair. Brooklyn just stood beside her, trying to gain lake’s attention.
He didn’t even look her way, which made her extremely mád.
” Thanks guys” Eleonor smiled before entering the house, and the rest followed behind.
” Nora” Mrs. Rodrigo and her husband called excitingly.
” Mama!!. Papa!!!” Eleonor ran to hug them, while her friends bowed their head.
” Welcome guys. I am happy to see that my daughter has made many friends. Please make yourself at home” Mr. Rodrigo said and eleonor pecked his cheeks. They went back in, to give them their privacy.
🗣️ Awww. So cute!!.
” Your parents are nice” Henry said out of the blue, and eleonor nearly choked on her saliva.
” Su..re. Ye..ah..very nice” She stuttered.
” Your mom is séxy. Can i have her number??. I’ll like to interrogate her…” Lake teased, and they all bursted out laughing.
” Aissssh!! Am sure you left your brain back at school” Henry glared.
” I’m hungry” November pouted.
” Sure..make yourselves comfortable. Mum and i would serve you all. Then we can all go to the pool. I can’t swim though, so i’ll just watch” Eleonor said and everyone started to dance, apart from the U2 though.
The students sat on the couch, dropping their things on the floor.
AN HOUR LATER**
The students are gathered in the living room, they are seated in circles and one would tell that they are about to play a game.
Actually, it was november who brought up the idea, claiming that she was bored and they agreed.
The bottle was spinned, and it pointed at henry. Both november and eleonor’s hearts skipped a beat.
” Truth or dare?”
” Dare” He replied immediately.
” I dare you to kiss the most beautiful girl in this room on the lips. Two minutes straight!!”.
The tension in the room rised immediately, everyone one were silent, anticipating on what will happen next.
Henry looked up and pressed his lips together for a while, before standing. His legs began moving on it’s own, approaching two girls who were sitting together.
” KISS HER!!”
” KISS HER!!”
” KISS HER!!”
The students chanted.
Without wasting any time, henry claimed eleonor’s lips, dragging her into one of the most passionate kisses she’d ever had.
November’s heart crushed into a thousand pieces. She quickly stood up and ran out of there in tears.
🗣️ What just happened??
🗣️ “…..”
” You shouldn’t have….am sorry. Please excuse me” Eleonor muttered and ran after november.
<•<3PM>•>
Eleonor sighed from exhaustion, and continued walking around the house, until she stopped beside the pool.
She’s been looking for november the entire time, but she’s no where to be found.
” I wonder if she’s okay!!. Gosh…why did he kiss me??. Does he like me?? But november said….” She sat on the floor and dipped her legs into the water, splashing it like a baby.
Unknown to her, someone was tiptoeing towards her. Eleonor made to turn, but the person suddenly pushed her into the pool.
” Ahhhh!!” Eleonor screamed as she tried to keep her breathing in check.
She’s drówning!!!.
” Next time when you see anything with the name Henry, you will stay far away. Bitçh” November smirked wickédly and watched her in excitement.
Eleonor kept struggling in the pool, until she stopped. She became extremely weak, and in a matter of time she started sinking to the bottom of the pool.
” Chao!!” November smiled and walked away.
