The clouds have gotten dark and Erica could feel cold chills on her arms and shoulder.
It was in the middle of a summer season but she wondered why she was feeling like it was winter.
"Did I actually sleep off in my car?" She thought.
She was still lost in her little though when she was distracted by a slight sound.
Her eyes fluttered, they felt so heavy and weak.
The tap on her glass window came again.
She looked up, the fair face of her friend Sarah was looking down at her.
She unlocked the car at once and stepped down.
Sarah stared at her face looking dumbfounded.
"Erica you are a complete mess" she said on noticing that she have been crying for long.
Erica leaned on her shoulder and burst into uncontrollable tears.
"I feel stupid Sarah..." she cried out.
Sarah rubbed her back slowly making her feel like a child.
"Don't say that girlfriend, you aren't stupid, what ha
Sarah got very more uncomfortable with the way Erica was drinking non stop and she wouldn't stop even though she wanted her to."Allow me drink my sorrows away Sarah, my heart is hurting badly" she said in tears.Sarah snatched the last glass of wine from her table."You have had enough Erica, I didn't bring you here to get drunk, I just wanted to make you happy" she said.Erica was already tipsy.She chuckled."And you succeeded Sarah, I am happy now" she said grinning."Erica???" A lady called out walking closer to their table.Erica's eyes widened on seeing her."Joan....???" She mumbled.Sarah took a glance at Joan."Who is she?" Sarah asked.Sarah is naturally always too protective of Erica, she was always conscious of anyone who comes around her just like a mother takes care of her child and is always watchful of her.Sometimes Erica teased Sarah by calling her mother."She is my sister Sarah" Erica answered
Andrew stood outside the building, his eyes were all over the place as he anticipated the return of his daughter.He took a deep breath when he saw Erica's car drive into the compound.He ran to the car at once.Erica was staggering here and there.He gasped holding her.He glared at Joan who only smirked.Andrew led his daughter into her room and shut the door behind her.He walked into the living room and met Joan sitting down."Why do you always act like you saw a ghost each time you see me?" Joan arched her brow.He scoffed "do I?""I am your daughter, I hope you know that?" She asked."Since your mother is so good at talking, she should have told you every other thing" he said.Joan stood up "it doesn't matter if I am not biologically yours buy I grew up knowing you as my father."Andrew looked around the house hoping that Erica wasn't hearing what they were saying."You are shouti
Joan led Erica back into the room and helped her sit on her bedErica looked up at Joan's face and scoffed."You brought me home?" Erica asked sounding a little tipsy and suprised.Joan nodded sitting beside her "I did..."Erica nodded "what about Sarah?"Joan shurgged "from the look of things, Sarah seemed to be very busy with somethings at the bar, so since I am your sister.... I was in a better position to get you out of there...."Erica nodded slightly with her mind engaged in deep thoughts "I see...."Joan cleared her throat."You really want to know the truth Erica? I really don't get it" Joan saidErica still felt very weak.She rubbed her hand on her forehead "what is it that you don't get?""Why would a beautiful lady like you get drunk in a bar?" Joan asked.Erica sighed "I really don't want to discuss this Joan."Joan reached out for Erica's hand, she held it rubbing her
Joan giggled."I just wanted her to feel half of the pain she made me feel years back" she said.Liam scoffed."Really? Is she that bad?" He asked.Joan shurrged "you really don't want to know do you? Meanwhile thanks a lot for a job well done.He nodded "you're welcome, I should be on my way now."Liam stands on his feet.Sarah walked into the restaurant looking around.It was a beautiful saturday morning.She gasped on seeing Joan and Liam together."What are my eyes seeing?" She arched her brow walking closer to them.Joan gaped on seeing her, she sighed."Sarah... how are you doing?" She asked feeling a little nervous.Liam looked away."You!!!" Sarah yelled pointing at Liam.Liam looked up at her, his eyes widened."What have I done?" He asked."Did you just ask me what you have done?" She screamed walking even more closer to him.People around turned to
Joan hired Liam months back to make Erica fall in love with her, date her and break her heart after wards.Everything was completely staged including the proposal, Joan did this just to make Erica feel bad.For years she have been in town monitoring her father and sister just to know what their life have been like and she decided to strike just to make Erica feel terrible.Joan went back striaght to her Andrew's house.She parked the car with alot of thoughts running through her mind.She took a deep breath before switching off the engine of the car.Joan stepped out of the car looking a little lost from her environment.She walked into the living room and met Andrew sitting on the couch with a magazine covering his face.Joan stiffed a bit thinking of what his reaction might be seeing her again today.She knew that he didn't want her any where around Erica because he believed that she would be a total bad influence on Erica.Andrew
Joan shut her eyes."Have you seen what you have caused?" Sarah screamed."No you started it!" Joan screamed.Sarah felt pissed off "why am I even arguing with you? I don't know who you are, what if I tell Erica I saw you with Liam?"Joan laughed "you wouldn't dare do that.""Then watch me looser..." she turns to leave."And I would tell her how you have been dating our father" Joan threatened.Sarah was shocked.She turned around at once glaring at Joan.Joan grinned wickedly "are you surprised that I know your little dirty secret?""Who... who told you that crab?" Sarah asked."Are you calling your relationship with my father crab? Well if you must know, my father told me everything, you know why? He trusts me with secrets like this, unfortunately you are so cruel to keep such information away from Erica" Joan made faces at her.Sarah couldn't believe her ears.She moved cl
Erica and his friends had lunch at the restaurant, after wards they drove straight to the cinema to see a movie as they munched on their popcorns.They were all smiled, having long discussions as Joan and Sarah tried getting to know each other better.Sarah was still very worried.She walked into her apartment and closed the door behind.She sat on the couch with her head raised, her mind was clouded with thoughts.Suddenly her phone rang.She sighed picking up her bag from the floor.She picked her phone out and hissed on seeing who the caller was."What do you want Andrew?" She asked on picking the call.Andrew gasped on hearing her speak in such manner "are you okay Stella?"She chortled "really? are you asking me that?"Andrew rolled his eyes in amazement "Stella what is the problem?

Days crept into weeks and weeks into months, the girls grew stronger in their friendship and Andrew grew happier than he ever was.He had his two daughters back living under the same roof with him so that meant a lot to him.He couldn't help but wonder why he gave Joan that cold attitude from the beginning but he guessed it was because of the energy she gave him at first.Sarah and Joan often had times out together at the bar and sometimes Joan would pick Sarah from work for have lunch or dinner together, their friendship grew closer in months.Sarah grew to trust and love Joan alot appreciating every single thing about her."She isn't bad after all..." Sarah thought to herself on a certain evening Joan had come to pick her from work.They drove straight to Sarah's house, Joan waited for her to take a quick shower and change her clothes before they dashed into the road driving down to a night club.Erica was always busy with work, eve
