" Watch your step, Jackie!" Drew rudely scolded as she descended the staircase. He was on edge for the past few days and it was getting Jackie bothered. " You know what, I'm not going anymore. Go with Alicia and Kyle. Find something to tell the host, like umm, I am down with the flu or something." she fumed climbing up the stairs. " I don't have time for your useless and senseless tantrums, suit yourself!" he responded with her tone and walked out banging the door loudly. Jackie shook her head as she stood at the window in her room looking down at Drew talking to Alicia and Kyle. A few minutes later, they sat in the car as he sped off in anger. Who pissed in his cereal this morning? she couldn't help but wonder. " Hey, girls," she picked her phone. Freya and Jess had face-timed her. " Bad time?" Jess asked her sister. " No, it's a good time. Just Mase throwing tantrums like a woman in her period, and I can't deal with that," she explained. " Is he edgy lately?" Freya asked. " Y

" Heeeeey biatch!" Jess screamed on top of her lungs as she entered her sister's house. "Bittttch!" Jackie responded descending the stairs two by two. "Jeeez, you two are just something else." Freya entered dragging bags behind her. "I'm glad you guys came here, I've been a lonely child," she said as they followed her up to her room. " What of Drew?" Jess asked her sister. "Ummm, I don't know, Jess. He's not said anything yet, we've been distant lately ever since he came from the tour." she sighed. " Jackie, try telling him. You've waited for him to do so for long but it seems he's reluctant to. Just let the guy know how you feel. Is that too much to do?" Freya inquired. " It's not, maybe I would but not today." she winked as a knock was heard on the door. "Come in." All three said as Mason walked in. "How may I help you Ma--" she was cut off by his kiss on her lips. Jess and Freya, we're as shocked as Jackie. Was this a dream or it's reality? she couldn't help but wonder. Je

" Oh hey," Freya said spotting Zed. He wore a hoodie and was walking along her street when he met her coming from her morning run. "Freya, it's been a while." he pulled down the hood. His face looked red. "Oh, yes, it has. What's up with you? Why are you looking so unkempt? "Did something happen to your company?" She peppered him with questions."Calm down, nothing happened to the business, it's doing great, in fact, I'm opening one out of town," he replied."That's fantastic news," she said as her phone rang."Hey love," Freya replied in front of Zed.She already moved on? he pondered walking away as Freya talked on the phone. "Sure see you in the evening then." she dropped the call. "So--" she lifted her head up to continue with the conversation with Zed but he was long gone. Where did he go? she shrugged walking towards the mall. Did she move on? I thought we had a thing going on. How come she moved on so fast? he slammed his hands on his steering wheel. Are you fucking kid

" Hey, you look stressed out, are you okay?" Sunny asked her boyfriend as he entered the house. " I'm fine...is there any food around here, 'm starving." he walked past her. "Sunny?!" he called startling her. " Is there any food in this house goddam it?!" he raised his voice at her again making her flinch. " Please don't hit me,"she murmured. " Yeah, there's, there's some pasta on fire...let me go check it and serve you your food," she answered shaking as she hurried past him to the kitchen. Her hands were still shaking as she took the food off the fire and dished Keith's food. She set it on the table with a bottle of root beer. Keith stood in front of the kitchen observing his girlfriend. She seemed so scared and was shaking the whole time. I shouldn't have screamed at her. He walked closer to her and put his hands on her waist making her flinch again. " Please, please don't hit me,"

Jackie woke up to a tray of food beside her. She sat up shocked at the gesture. No one had done that for her before. Like she even had a man in her life before, pfff. She shyly covered her face as Drew stared at her with a smile on his. How come I didn't ask her out earlier? She looks so beautiful in the morning. Thank goodness I wasn't too late. " Imma go wash my face and brush my teeth...'d be back in a minute," she said getting off the bed and heading to the bathroom. This seems so good to be true. She stood before the mirror brushing her mouth. " Babe breakfast's gonna get cold," Drew called. " Give me a second, please," she replied washing her mouth and face. " Aright," he answered walking towards her window and pulling the curtains apart. Jackie emerged from the bathroom and then sat on her bed. She gently poured the hot water into her cup before dumping her tea bag in it. She opened the other plate as the smell of bacon, sausages and baked beans hit her. They are alon

She wore a blue faux-wrap V-neck sequin dress that hugged her figure tightly. Deven had planned a surprise for her that night, and she kept wondering what it was yet he never spoke a word. Val was no better, she pretended not to know anything about Deven taking her out tonight. Those two... I couldn't love them any less. She thought to herself as she picked up her matching clutch, looking into the mirror one last time before descending the staircase. Just as she got to the foot of the staircase, the doorbell rang. Perfect timing. " Come on in," she called as Deven entered. He wore a grey tuxedo, his white shirt wasn't fully buttoned and his toned chest was showing, his hair was parted to the side which made him look incredibly hot that night. In all, he looked charming. " Like what you see?" he broke her out of her self induced trance. " Uhuh..." she nodded slowly as he stretched out his hands to take hers. She ge

" Zed," Soraya knocked on his door. She had been to his office and he wasn't around. He checked the restaurant as well yet he wasn't there. " Hi Ma'am." a young maid opened the door. " Is Zed around?" she inquired of him from her. " I'm sorry but Mr Velasquez travelled for business this morning," she told her. " Oh, thank you," she replied turning on her heels. " Is there anything I could tell him or any information I could get across to him for you?" she asked. " JUST LET I--- " I'm sorry for yelling, I will try getting in touch with him. Thanks for your help," she responded hurrying to her car. But why wasn't he answering her calls? Was he ignoring her? Didn't he want her no more? Those questions run through her mind as she slightly banged her head on the stirring wheel. Her phone rang several times before she answered it. " Mom?" she impatiently called not in

" Slow down there Ansel, I thought you had a girlfriend already so why me?" Hailey lay on her bed listening to her best friend speak. " Yeah, I have--, I ha---, I mean I did have one." " You're fumbling with your words hunny. Do you or do you not have a girlfriend?" she asked again. " Alright, I do okay. But it's you I want." he turned to face her. " You can't have two girlfriends Ansel, let me make this easier for you. I've moved on. No, I am not seeing anyone else at the moment but I don't want to be in a relationship with anyone at the moment. I am so sorry." she apologized. " It's fine, thanks for being honest by the way. I'd see you at graduation day tomorrow," he added leaving her apartment. No more toxic relationships. " Sunny, how may I help you?" she rubbed her eyes. " Be expecting me in a few hours," she said via face time " Are you on a plane?" Hailey sat up. " Of course, I
