Let go of me! argh! Chloe butt hit the bed hard , she didn't understand where she went wrong she attended the wedding as promised.
" I attended the wedding as you required, what do you want from me now ! what ?
" Are you pretending to be innocent, huh? or you like to be forced?
" I told you clearly, this is your debt , I will let you pay one by one " He pointed out nonchalantly
Chloe's eyes closed in despair and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably " Sorry Rose I didn't know it would turn out like this".
-------------
Two Months Ago
Chloe was in her bedroom, her face twitching in pain. She couldn't sleep because of stomach ache. She can't shoot the Ad in this situation, and she can't afford to offend her agent instead.
she was at loss for ideas, suddenly she reached for her phone on the bed beside her. There's only one person that could help her now , Rose
Switching the phone on she dialed her best friend's number for the latter to pick on the second ring.
" Hello best, how are you feeling?" Rose's voice rang out through the phone.
" Rose, it's getting worse, can you do me a favor"
" Anything for you best"
" Rose , it's about the AD I am supposed to shoot in Spain tomorrow, I can't go there like this, will you go for me best" Chloe pleaded and pouted her mouth. Going straight to the point .
" Best, you know the climate situation in Spain , by this time of the year, " Rose reasoned out.
" I know best , just go. It's also the best season to go to Spain. I always go there, and also director Shaw couldn't find someone else, and it's a rare chance ! Please go for me , pleaseeee ! , she pleaded desperation could be noticed in her tone.
"Well, you know I can't say no to that face of yours, but it's on one condition"
" Anything Rose , just name it"
" Promise me you will see a doctor after this call ", She warned.
" I will Rose, I've called Daisy , she's on her way here, now pack your luggage or else you will miss the flight ", Chloe said happily.
Chloe ended the call and heaved a sigh of relief " what will I do without you bestie, I love you loads" She said and kissed her phone when the call ended .
. After a few hours' nap, Chloe went downstairs to her living room to watch the television after grabbing some cookies from the kitchen. walking around the mini stairs, she picked the remote and switched on the television .
But the news that was broadcasting live caught her attention.
" At 4:50pm , Sept 3rd a plane that left the country to Spain crashed, with 200 passengers on board , eight seriously injured victims have been rescued so far , but the heavy fire makes it difficult to continue the search for other possible victims still alive "
Bam!
The plate of cookies she held fell to the floor with a loud sound and shattered, " That's Rose's flight , right?" She asked no one in particular and got no response in return,
" No , it can't be . it can't be Rose's flight " She picked her phone from the sofa to check the flight ticket her manager sent to her the day before for reality to slap her hard in the face .
Chloe tugged her hair hard, scattering her once arranged bouncy curly hair, hot tears streamed down her face and she cried uncontrollably sprawled out on the fluffy carpet in her sitting room. The vibration from her phone got her distracted from her cries for a minute, she stretched her hand and picked up the phone,
" Chloe, are you okay ! where are you?, I heard what happened to Rose " Daisy's voice rang out from the phone.
" I -i-am-no-t okay , Daisy, I-am- not " Chloe said in between sobs .
" I know Chloe, believe me I understand how you feel right now she's equally my best friend too . Stay put and wait for me alright, I will be there in an hour time "
" Hum" Chloe nodded in response.
Chloe, Rose and Daisy are three college best friends, after graduation Daisy secured a job in one of the country's best Tech companies as their Financial Manager hence making it difficult for her to link up with the girls as usual, while Rose and Chloe ventured into acting making them the best of friends among the three.
Chloe cried again remembering their days as college students as memories of their lives flashed like scenes in her eyes, she cried and cried till she dozed off.
The sound of her door bell woke her up from her slumber, she dragged her feet to the door and unlocked for Daisy's face came into view and reminded her of the day's incident, she started crying again this time around she sobbed without holding back she leaned on Daisy's shoulder staining her jacket with her tears, Daisy who didn't mind hugged her back, and caressing her hair loving
" it okay dear, cry all you want dear ,am here for you " she said soothingly to her , holding back her tears as well . She didn't want to cry in front of Chloe because there's no other person to console them if she were to cry along with her.
Hence she took the job of a comforter and stroked Chloe's back lovingly.
Hearing Daisy, Chloe took it as her cue and wept harder this time letting it all out on Daisy's shoulder.
