Who His Heart Chooses

"Am sorry, i just...."

"If someone sees you like this, they'll think you meant what you did. Now..." He dipped his hand into his pocket, and took out a comb, combing Aaliyah's hair. He wiped her tears, and made her feel whole again.

"Now do this. Follow the ambulance to the hospital, and see what happened to Cora. Am busy for now, but chat me up, okay? Take this for disguise" He gave her his sunglasses and hastily left. Aaliyah went to the agency, (which had only a few staffs), took a hat, and wore the sunglasses. Few minutes later, she got to the hospital and there were loud cries from inside.

"Please, don't let anything happen to our leader!!" Aaliyah entered the rowdy hospital. She tore her outfit  and bumped into wailing Linda.

"Eww! Who are you!!!" Linda screamed crying.

"Sorry, i was only trying to go see my sister!! She's in there!!" Aaliyah pointed, pretending to be wailing.

"Where? The famous Coralie is in there!"

"She's in Coralie's ward! I need to go see her, or else she'll die." Aaliyah fell on the ground crying.

"What's her name?" Linda asked.

"Bianca!"

"What's yours??" Aaliyah dashed into Cora's ward, where uncontrollable paparazzi and people were. The nurses tried to kick them out, but they were unstoppable. There were live streams on Instagram, and Blair, Cora's sister made a live where she was screaming and crying. There were several hate comments.

I HATE AALIYAH

WHAT'S GOING ON?

SHE'S ON A HOSPITAL BED!!

DOCTORS, PLEASE SAVE CORALIE'S LIFE

CORA IS ONLY FAKING THIS

CORA HATES AALIYAH THAT'S WHY SHE'S IMPLICATING HER

AALIYAH IS SUCH A WITCH!

AALIYAH AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!

CORALIE, PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES

JUST DIE STUPID CORA!

FUCK YOU!!!

  Blair kept crying as Aaliyah came behind her.  She saw Cora and a few minutes later, everyone went to the waiting room. Aaliyah sat near Valerie. Valerie saw the star tattoo on her thigh and covered it.

"Valerie..."She said softly.

"Seriously Aaliyah?? Should you be doing this? Why are you hiding?" Valerie whispered.

"I just feel so sorry and guilty, i hate Cora but she got on my last nerve."

"I warned you to stay away." The doctor ran towards them and they were all surprised.

"She's awake." Linda, Blair, and Penelope kept their instagram fans updated. Only few were allowed in her room. Aaliyah followed them secretly. She saw Cora crying.

"Did you know what the nurse said?" Tears were rolling uncontrollably from Cora's cheeks.

"What did she say?" Linda cried. Even fans were expecting.

"I...i have..."

"Why do you have a band-aid on your head? And where's your beautiful green hair??" Her sister grabbed her face. Cora was trembling.

"We cut her hair due to the injury.' The nurse announced and Blair screamed so shrill, some people rushed in. More comments were pouring in.

NOOOOO!!!

MY DARLING CORA!!

YOU HAVE TO CUT YOUR HAIR???

THIS IS ABSOLUTE NONSENSE! HOW CAN THEY DO THAT TO MY FAVORITE SINGER!

SERVES YOU RIGHT!

FAKE TEARS!

YOU CAN'T MESS WITH AALIYAH AND GET AWAY!

I HATE CORA AND CURSE HER EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE

THAT HAIR WILL NEVER GROW!

SHIT, BETTER GO BECOME A NEWSPAPER VENDOR OR SOMETHING

LIFT UP THE BAND-AID AND LET'S SEE OUR BALDIE!

Ramona heard the news and informed the other pink damsels.

"Serves her right." Lizzy rolled her eyes. Valerie was just shocked. What was gonna happen to Aaliyah's career?

The news reached Aaliyah and Valerie's family. Lisa phoned Valerie.

"I heard what happened to Cora. How is she gonna sing?" Lisa asked her sister.

"Idk. Just don't call me for now. I won't be coming home." Aaliyah returned to the waiting room, with goosebumps all over her. Soon, it was evening-time and everyone left the hospital.

"I can't believe this can happen to CORA. She was so damn obsessed with her guacamole hair." Ramona rolled her eyes.

"Like, i just don't understand why this happened to someone like her. But am glad." Lizzy chuckled.

"But you guys are supposed to feel sorry. Aaliyah's career is at stake." Valerie was sad.

"Just shut up VALERIE! Do you think Aaliyah's money's gonna fail her? You don't know how celebrities work! Just stop interfering!" Ramona thundered.

"Am really sorry." Valerie apologized and just played money games on her phone. Soon, they reached the P.D mansion. The door was opened.

"Did Aaliyah just come home? Because we gave her the keys?" Lizzy asked Ramona.

They saw Aaliyah in the living room, watching a movie.

"Seriously, Aaliyah? After endangering Cora's poor head, you come home to watch movies??" Lizzy chuckled.

"Yeah, so what the hell should i do? She's at fault." Valerie sat beside Aaliyah and took her hand. Ramona rolled her eyes.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU GUYS INTEND TO DO NOW? FIRST, HDA WAS CANCELLED, BECAUSE OF DQ, AND NOW, DQ's LEADER IS HAIRLESS! DO YOU THINK THIS SEASON IS GONNA GO WITH AWARDS! ITS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU, AALIYAH!" Aaliyah dropped the remote on the ground and ran upstairs. Valerie sat on the dining and munched on some apples.

"Lizzy, go cook something." Ramona ordered.

"Heck no! I've had a lot to deal with today. Especially after we spent hours with Coralie at the hospital."Lizzy went to the second wing of the house to eat.

"Bring some food for me too!" Valerie and Ramona chorused. Ramona watched movies, and soon, her phone buzzed. Her magazine offers and photoshoots were expiring. She was to go with Lizzy.

"Ramona, isn't Aaliyah gonna come down for dinner?" Valerie asked.

"Would you please shut up? Am about to make a phone call." Valerie got up and went up the stairs.

"Hello, Kenji." On hearing that, Valerie fell backwards and bruised her knee.

"Hi Sis, how you doing?"

"Am good, you?"

"Chilling here with some hot cocoa. Winter is dying down anyway. Spring is coming soon." Kenji smiled.

"Okay, do you remember the shoots we have? And the events we have to attend after HDA?" Ramona asked.

"You see Sister, i don't think i can do those shoots with you." Kenji said and Ramona's heart gave a thud.

"Why?"

"Sister, i don't like your behaviors lately. Ever since this season began, you've even grew crazier, sorry about that, you've been ruder. First, you yell at people, and you re grumpy, you are always specific on outfit choices and that i won't be accepting. Although Kenneth spoiled you when he was in America, but now that he's away, am in control now." Kenji explained.

"So, you're telling me am not putting on my best behavior?"

"Are you?" Kenji rolled his eyes.

"But why are you doing this? Did someone bewitch you?" Ramona burst into tears.

"Nope. I told the brand i'd be trying my luck with Valerie. After-all, she's never modeled.

"WHAT??!!!! KENJI...." Blood drained from Ramona's body. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Kenji had already hung up. She dashed upstairs and locked herself up in her room, sulking with uncountable chocolate bars, which she 'stole' from Lizzy.
