Seeing somebody die is painful to watch, seeing a dead family member is worse but not seeing your family before and after they die is the worst and Belle was traumatized. I admit, I felt bad for her.
My parents invited her for lunch at my apartment because well, she did help keep me alive and I also wanted to meet my donor so win-win, I guess. I thought it would either go two ways. It could be really awkward or just meh because I wasn't generally skilled at talking to new people.
My social skills were next to zero. I opened my system and looked up social skills and after searching for the shortest article possible because I couldn't stress myself, I clicked on it and opened it. I began to read it.
"Social skills are essential in building both personal and professional relationships. Demonstrating strong interpersonal skills can help you accomplish career goals, contribute to company achievements, perform well dur

Sophie had been stuck with the thought that Jim was cheating on her ever since she said it out loud. She didn't want to believe it but she couldn't help herself; all she wanted to do was confirm if it was true or not. She was getting dressed for a formal hangout with her colleagues when a ding came in through her phone indicating she had a text. She checked it and it was from Jim.Wear something beautiful and fancy, I'll pick you up in 20 minutes ❤️Jim knew he hadn't been giving her enough attention but that's because of his job being demanding for the past couple of days. He planned this outing since he hadn't taken her out in a long time. He knew she was upset about the whole work thing and him not having time for her so he decided to take her ass to dinner."Babe", he called out. She was in the bathroom doing her hair. Women and that shit though. She walked out of the bathroom with an annoyed expression, her right hand on her wa
Life of Eve Scene
Jada had become very familiar with the part-time maid and her 14-year-old daughter, Lara, under a month of staying in South Africa. She wouldn't lie, she was enjoying her stay there and she didn't want to leave anytime soon. She was actually considering her husband's offer on moving there but she wouldn't tell him otherwise he would try to emotionally coerce her into it."Mrs Adrian, ready yet?", Adrian asked once he entered the room, smiling at his wife watching herself in the mirror."Hold on, I just need to contour my face and apply lipstick and we're done", she told him while dabbing the make up sponge on her face repeatedly."What the heck does contour your face mean?", He asked and they both laughed before he sat beside her and watched her until she finished her makeup. They were attending a South African governmental function which the Prince and his wife were cordially invited to and Adrian rsvp'd for them.

49I wasn't completely fine yet, I still felt random pains and this time it wasn't from an unidentifiable area of my body; it was from the gunshot wound on my shoulder.I wasn't completely fine yet, I was just healthy enough to be discharged on supervision and by supervision, the doctor meant having a carer by my side in case of any emergencies. But in this case, supervision meant Jade, Grey and my grandfather keeping their eagle eyes on me all the time which was a bit funny but annoying as fuck.I had also been stalling the meeting with Belle Henley a lot because I wasn't exactly fully ready to meet my donor yet; even though I wanted to. I re

50I opened Facebook on my phone and typed in Belle Henley in the search bar and a lot of options came up, even males. I didn't even know what she looked like personally but from the description I was given, I was pretty sure it wasn't that hard to identify a female with pale brown eyes, curly brown hair and tiny freckles with a nose piercing.It can't be that hard, they say. Keep scrolling, they say. Yes, it was that hard. I'd been scrolling for almost three minutes and I hadn't found one person, not one person that fit her description. I was almost about to give up when I finally saw one that matches and man was she beautiful.She was intensely be

51"Eve, please listen to me, it's not what you're thinking, I can explain, I promise you Eve, it isn't what it looks like." The regular words a betrayer and a cheater says when they get caught.I never imagined or pictured myself hearing those words in my entire life, ever. I wondered to myself why anyone would want to cheat on me. I mean, I knew for a fact that I didn't do anything wrong and we were fine in the relationship so what could've been the cause?"Eve, please li-listen, I'm sorry you had to see that." Grey stuttered again.He wasn't even sorry he cheated, he was sorry I caught him cheating, he was sorry I had to see him cheating with my best friend. Such an annoying human. Right then, my blood began to boil as my body and my mind finally settled on what to feel. Rage.I shut my eyes tightly and reopened them as I glared at him attempting to close in on me while Jade just stoo

52It took a long train ride to get back home but it was worth it. I needed the peace and serenity the subway brought. I kept looking outside the window, the grass and people going by in a blur soothed the anger in me. At least I felt better than when I left the house."Hello, yeah, I don't see any black Toyota here, I think you're on the wrong street- Oh, never mind, I see you now." I hung up and waved to the Uber driver.He came to a stop in front of me and I got in, throwing my bags carefully on the seat beside me. I sighed as my butt hit the comfortable seat and he began driving. That was when I realized I missed home. I missed strolling down the streets and helping my old neighbors walk their dogs.I missed Mrs Neumann's problematic son who happened to also be my favorite person in the entire community. I was glad my dads decided to finally settle in this community and not move anymore because I couldn't

53"Look at this, I call it the depth. I made it for you." The kid smiled excitedly as he nudged me with the edge of the painting.His happiness was something everyone wanted. Such a happy child; happiness isn't easy to come by but we can find our own happiness in the most random and little things. We find happiness by first letting go of whatever saddens or depresses us, whatever or whoever it may be. And that gave me an idea."Tell me what you think, come on. Do you like it?" Rodney asked skeptically. I bent my head to the side, looking at the painting closely."Are you just stalling because you don't know what to say?" He asked with a bored expression on his face. Well, no, I definitely wasn't. "it's okay, my mom does it all the time. After all, not everyone can appreciate good art, not even if it hit them in the face." He shrugged.Ouch."Well, no, I wasn't stalling

I had already made my decision, I just needed a way to convey it to my parents. I had absolutely no idea how they would feel about the news; after all they did try all they could for me and I was just going to throw it all away carelessly.Also, UCLA was such a prestigious school and I would be damned if I would throw away all that prestige and embarrass the whole school by doing what I had in mind.It's probably going to break them but I have no other option, it is what I want and it is what I have decided on. I also decided I was going to break the unhappy news to everyone during or after dinner that day. After was my best bet though, I didn't want anybody getting angry and not eating their food.On the other hand, Rodney still felt guilty for "asking me questions th
