"Alex!" Amanda screamed placing her hands over the bloody chest as she tried to stop the bleeding. "Alex!"
His eyes were heavy, his head spinning, the pain was unbearable, Amanda was crying. Why is she crying, what's going on?
TWENTY MINUTES AGO
They had all scattered in different directions, Torento had ordered the shutting of the main gate and they couldn't escape, when the men had started firing bullets at them, they had no other choice but to run separate ways.
Amanda found herself hiding in a room, under the bed, she can't explain how she got there, everything had just happened so fast. She had heard Torento shouting they be killed on sight.
She could feel the cobwebs on her head and something smelt really bad, she tried to push her mind from whatever creature or substance could be with her under the bed and tried to focus more on escape. Her plan was to escape through the window, but when she

Amanda had her knees up to her chest, her head tucked in between as she rocked herself on the chair, Rebecca and Elena were beside her. While Alex was still unconscious, the guys had sustained minor injuries during the fight and Jerry had gotten shot in his right leg."Are you ok?" Elena asked concerned. Amanda hasn't said a word since the nurses has shut the door before her."Mmmmh," she replied not looking up. Elena looked at Rebecca who was also watching her."What should I do?" Elena mouthed to her. Rebecca looked confused too, then moved closer to Amanda and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder."Alex will be fine," she said. The three sat there quietly, waiting.Elena was just about to nod off when Amanda suddenly sat up and since she was resting on Amanda's back, she has no other choice but to sit up straight, she rubbed her eyes sleepily. "Is the doctor here?" She ask

"You can go see him now, he's sleeping," The doctor said. "But he will..."Amanda didn't wait for the doctor to finish, she ran out of the office, running upstairs to the room she knew Alex was in. She stopped before the door breathing heavily, trying to calm herself down, she rubbed her palms behind her jeans."Ok," she said to herself moving forward to open the door. Alex was sleeping like the doctor had said, he had a bandage round his forehead and few bruises over his face, which had now been plastered.She walked over standing before him, then sat down in the armchair beside the bed. "He's sleeping, I will wait."*****Alex slammed the cup on the desk and turned to Martin. "Martins, have you ever heard of the Fundamental promotion rights?""Fundamental promotion rights?" Martins repeated the question, an eyebrow raised."I'm about to do something crazy,"

"Oh, it feels good to be back home," Alex said as they climbed up the stairs leading to his front porch.Amanda smiled rolling her eyes. "You are only saying that because you-""Alex!" They heard a voice shouting, they both turned round to see the one and only Karen walking towards them in anger.Alex sighed. "Oh no, this is definitely not what I need at the moment." He muttered.Amanda looked confused. "Who's that?" She asked."Karen," he said simply and gave a slight shudder.She crossed the street, her palms in a tight fist, a frown on her face, her white hair was packed in a tight bun. Though the look on her face reminded Alex of his worst nightmare but still, Alex couldn't help the laughter that bubbled in his throat. 'Karen' was a short woman, she reminded him of a funny meme he had seen last week, which had compared short people to soldier ant."What do

"So, my mum wants to meet you," Alex said quickly walking out of the kitchen.Amanda eyes widened then she spit out the water she was just about to swallow. "What?" She asked running out of the kitchen."Bleh." Alex shrugged."This isn't a 'Bleh' moment Alex," she walked over to him, stopping him before he could run of the house. "I thought your mum was in Canada.""Yeah...""And?""Well, she found out I had a girlfriend and wanted us to come visit-""Uh, she wants us to...""Yeah, but I told her we couldn't because of my work, and she said fine."Amanda sighed in relief. "Ok good, that's good news.""She said fine, she will come over," he finished."Are you messing with me?" Amanda asked, Alex shook his head. "Why are you just telling me this Alex? When is she coming over?"Alex ga

"What do you mean your mother isn't visiting again?" Amanda shouted sitting up. She had been laying on his chest playing with the small chest hair when he had just told her the news.Alex sat up confused. "Why do you sound so surprised? I told you this yesterday.""No Alex you didn't," she said getting out of the bed, only dressed in her underwear. "I would remember if you did Alex, why didn't you tell me this before... Shit!""Before what?" Alex asked confused. He was confused because Amanda had been the one who seemed really nervous on his mother's visit and now she seemed upset by the news, he had been expecting her to rejoice.Amanda sighed turning to face him. "I bought a dress Alex.""You bought a dress? Uh... Good for you?" He said unsure.She palmed her head and sighed. "No Alex, I bought a freaking expensive dress to please your mother and now she isn't even going to show h

"I have nothing to say to them Eric," Amanda said as she watched the dishes. "How did they find you by the way?" She asked. Eric said he hadn't been heard anything about the Vegas, her mother's family, after they kicked her out."I still don't know," Eric's voice spoke from the speaker. "But they appeared here yesterday, surprising me myself, demanding they see their grandchildren," he said."Demanding?" Amanda scoffed. "Have they gone cuckoo? What gives them the right to demand? As long as I'm concerned I have no grandparents. Have you spoken to the girls about it?" She asked."I have told Amanda, she refused to see them, I'm yet to tell Elena," He said, referring to Rebecca as Amanda."Well, what did they expect? That they would just show up demanding for us and we'll gladly welcome them with open arms?" she gave a short laugh in disbelief. "The next time they show their face tell them they should go suck on a dic

Alex walked towards the door to answer it, someone had been pressing the doorbell, he had been ignoring it, hoping the person would leave, but no, some people were just too stubborn.Alex opened the door without asking for who it was, he was met with a dark haired man, he had many tattoo drawing on his arms, an overgrown beard and when he opened his mouth to speak, the scent of alcohol mixed with what Alex suspect was probably illegal hit his nose. He was not bad looking, actually he was very good looking and if he tried, his appearance wouldn't stop people from approaching him."I'm looking for Amanda?" He said. Alex's wondered what business he had with Amanda, he knew all of Amanda's friends, which were very few actually and he had never met him."Who's looking for me?" Amanda had just been passing by when she had heard the voice ask for her."Uh..." Alex didn't know his name."Raphael," the man s

"Hey mum," Alex greeted, his feet up at his desk as he enjoyed the pleasure of having his own office. Now he had his own personal parking spot, a secretary, and most of all privacy. Now he and Martins could talk for hours without Ross interrupting, though Alex was happy, he really missed staying close to Martins, the two had become really good friends overtime."Hey darling, how is the new office?" She asked. Alex could hear the honking of horns in the background and guessed she probably might be on the road.Alex sighed in joy. "It's really great," he said. "You know...in my own space doing my own thing," he said in a fake British accent."Your own thing? Since when did you have a 'thing'. Also why the funny accent?"He scratched the back of his neck. "No reason, it's just something Amanda does when we... Uh, when we...""Yeah Alex I get what you mean, but just leave the accent to Amand
