After her performance, Hillary darted down the stage, she was expecting to see the guy she spotted who was staring at her intently while she was singing earlier.
"It's weird", she mumbled.She kept peering in the crowd. She can't find the guy any longer. The guy covered his face with mask that conveyed his pair of fiercing eyes only. He was wearing black bonnet, black jacket and black pants. All black! She felt anxious after the guy vanished.She was subtle now. She felt a great fear in her heart. She can't spell out why this guy troubled her so much."Hillary, are you okay?" interrogated Marcus with concern. He had been so tender to her all throughout their friendship. She peeked at Marina. With terror written all over Hillary's face, she confessed," I saw someone looking at me while I'm on stage" she said. Marcus and Marina looked at her with uncertainty."What are you saying? We were all looking at you." declared Marina.Obviously Marina didn't catch up what she was trying to imply. She didn't vocalized anything again. She averted her gaze to them and diverted her attention to the people swaying to the rhythm of the loud music.She didn't want to scare her friends. She hold her breath and put her palm in her heart, she overheard her heartbeat , it beats so fast. She's terrified of this bizzare feeling. She felt something is not right. Never in her life someone creeped on her. Not like this.All people who liked her, courted her decently. She never had any enemy from the past nor think bad about other people."Who is he?""Who can he possibly be?""Is he the one I am waiting all my life?" she thought.She conversed with the two after her performance. Not long after she received the money from the organizer of the event."Til next event, pretty " he beamed." Sure thing, I am just one message away", she retorted loudly to cover the uneasiness she felt.While plodding to her car, she thanked Marcus and Marina. Marcus desired to voice out something and hugged her but he retreated."Not the right time" he uttered to his thought.They all got inside the car."I'll send you first, Marcus" she said while starting the engine. Marcus compelled to drive for them."I ought you to calm yourself, stay focus and we're here for you, never forgot that" comforted Marcus.Marina felt a bang of pain in her heart but she never revealed it to them. She smiled instead. Besides Hillary and Marcus are both Marina's friends. She cherished them unconditionally. If one day they are destined to be together. She will support them all the way."Will you be all right?" he asked"Hmmmm", she just voiced out." Of course, she's with me." Marina said."You want me to accompany you tonight?" Marina inquired her with pitiful eyes."Can you do that?" she glanced at her pleading. She sensed some part of her heart was jovial thinking her bestfriends were always prim to offer her shoulders if necessary."That's fine. Small thing, I'm alone at home anyway and what are friends for."Marina added.She gazed at Marcus and slightly smiled."Thank you Marina and Marcus".They both nodded in unison.They arrived in front of Marcus residence, he paused and got out after a little while."See you two tomorrow", he bid goodbye to them."See you Marcus", the two girls both said.They drove back going to Hillary's mansion.As Marcus saw the car was out of his sight," Her eyes never lie, she's in great fear. Something was strange." he thought."I'm sorry Hillary. I wanted to be there for you and comfort you but it's not the right time yet." Marcus added.He strolled going to the front door of his house.On the other side, the two just reached at Hillary's place. It was past eleven in the evening. Hillary knocked the door because she failed to bring her house key.After few knocks, her nanny opened the door."Did I wake you up, Georgia? I'm sorry I forgot my house key". she apologetically explained."No worries darling. I really waited for you." she said."Is mom and dad home?",she inquired"No, they weren't. "Georgia replied."I see. Anyway Marina will sleep in my room tonight." she let her nanny know. Georgia nodded.This is the third time she saw Hillary's friend. Marina offered her sweetest smile to the latter. Georgia smiled back. She seemed to be a nice girl and a shy type, she thought."Oh before I forgot they phoned an hour before you two came. They want me to apprised you that they will not go home tonight. They have urgent things to do in the company."Oh, okay" she responded shortly."Goodnight Georgia and I appreciate you waited for me." she said as she kissed her cheeks."Goodnight to the two of you". Georgia replied.They headed upstairs to her room. She unlatched her room door. The moment Marina caught sight of her room. She was in awe."Very organized and so neat, wow just wow did you do all of this? she queried. Hillary nodded.And Marina noticed the photo of her hanging in the wall. In the photo, she was dressed in a purple outfit with a matching cute clip."Look at this photo, is this you when you're young?" Marina inquired again."Yeah" Hillary declared while grinning."So cute," she mumbled.After a moment of silence."Anyway Marina, we are of same body built just pick clothes in the closet and I have underwears too in the drawers that I haven't used yet.," she stated. Marina nodded.After they changed into sleeping wears they both laid down to her huge bed. Hillary was exhausted.Hillary's phone rang. It was Marcus. She answered it."Hello Marcus," she preeked at Marina and they both smiled."Are you guys home and safe?" he queried." Obviously we are because we answered your call, men" Marina shouted. She overheard the conversation because the phone was on a speaker mode. Hillary burst out laughing. They both laughed."How about you, why you're still up?" Hillary asked."Just checking on you" he confessed honestly.Marina coughed fakely. Hillary eyed her friend meaningfully.Marcus holds a special place in her heart. Apart from being stunning he is kindhearted too. While in deep thought, Marcus blurted out with concern,"Good that you are all safe, you are feeling better now?"Yes, thanks to both of you and Marina's beside me so no worries. I'll be fine."she replied back."Goodnight then". he said."Goodnight, Marcus" they both said."I love you Marcus" Marina shouted to her lungs but Marcus didn't hear it because the line was cut.Hillary sighed and she looked at her friend,"You loved him, don't you?" she interrogated Marina."Of course I do, he is benevolent and strikingly handsome. But he loves you. " Marina murmured dolefully."Geez, he loves the two of us." she explained. They both laughed in unison.They muttered few prayers together."Goodnight. I'm here. I love you" Marina said."Thanks, goodnight too. I love you to the moon and back." She kissed her cheeks.It was a quiet night. They both laid down and gazing at the ceiling until she perceived Marina already fall into sleep."How I wish, I have a sister like you." Tears rolled down her cheeks. Her parents were both engaged in their business. They barely have a glimpse of each other during weekdays.She touched her heart and feel her heartbeat. She yearned to feel genuine happiness. She then closed her eyes too.It was already past half an hour ago since Marina fall asleep. Hillary kept rolling on her huge bed. Some thoughts were gambling in her mind. She concluded to go downstairs to get some milk. Her mom once said that the milk enables someone fall asleep comfortably. She jilted and adjusted her right arm to outstretched for the metal door knob. While meandered going down the stairs, she spotted a shadow through the glass window of the living room which was bosom to her."Georgia possibly forgot to secured the curtain." she whispered in her thoughts. She halted for a while. Tension distinctly put on view in her alluring face. She devoured her saliva. Her throat went droughty. This figure beared resemblance to the same person she spotted during her performance earlier. She wanted to called out her nanny but pulled back.Her foot was strucked by horror to where she was positioned. She was terrified. Her mom and dad are inaccessible at the moment."How can this person blew in the gate?" sh
Thirty minutes flied fiddling away with the rhythm of her guitar. Hillary returned it to her customized case and displayed it on the wall.Her tears drifting down her face freely. She sobbed in silence. In front of her bed, she squatted. She picked up something under her bed which she kept for over a decade. It was a wooden treasure box! She laid a hand on it once again and settled down on the tiled floor. Her slender hands slid and broached it silently and carefully not to wreck Marina's sleep.Hillary was crying. Inside the treasure box was a wooden bracelet, this valuable brought back her memories in the past.FlashbackThirteen years ago in one of the notable orphanage in the country wherein it was located in the southern part of Los Angeles and considered as one of the most occupied cities in the country, Hillary was one of the youngsters who found shelter from that foundling home. She was an orphan back then.It was windy Sunday afternoon when three kids were joyfully babbling
After Marina awaken and pulled out early because she required to go home and changed into a school uniform Hillary stand up too and get ready for her class. Because of her nightmare she didn't get sufficient sleep. However she needs to keep going. "When the going gets tough only the toughest can keep going," she thought.She noticed her eyebags in the mirror which stipulated that she was restless the other night. She walked directly to the bathroom and gained a warm shower. The figure of the guy with the mask continued bugging her mind. It was a mystifying feeling. She turned off the shower at once and quickly changed. She picked up her school uniform which dangled in her closet and her feet lead her downstairs after drying her hair."Good morning", she greeted Georgia."Good morning to a pretty lady like you." Georgia responded shortly and noticed her eyebags."It seemed you didn't have a good sleep" "Oh, nevermind." She don't want to drop any details of her nightmare. She don't wa
Kryss was flumping inside a VIP suite in a five star hotel in Manhattan, New York. He turned off the television after he watched his interview earlier. Media is nothing but an entertainment. It clearly conveyed in his eyes the misery he felt. He has been exploring around the world for the past six years of his life. He got adopted by a rich couple sixteen years ago. He was brought to New Zealand which he strongly disagree back then. But according to his foster parents it is for his own welfare so he obeyed them. He lived there for few years and soon hauled to New York to study and got his Master's Degree.

Kryss rouse around seven in the morning to get ready for his meet up with Janna. He's elevated to share the good news with his friend. They knew exactly how he hungered to catch sight of Hillary again. He managed to neaten his bed of his VIP suite. His suite has austere design somehow it looks elegant and classy. He is a neat freak. He takes great pleasure to see all his things organize.Around eight thirty he buzzed Janna notifying her that he's on his way. On the other side Janna was still mazed what brought Kryss in New York."It must be for deeper reason" she thought.She concluded to take a shower and dressed out herself.Not long after upon her entry at the restaurant she informed him. She settled on the rim side so she can have an aerial view of the restaurant and to wheeze some fresh air.Thereafter she spotted Kryss and wagged her hand. She guessed Kryss has a favor to ask from her. They've been friends for quiet a while now but he never requested her to eat out without Rocc
Two weeks passed after graduation, Hillary opted to visit the orphanage. She desired to thank those people who were behind her achievement.She strolled as she set foot into the orphanage and saw her so-called parents who granted her protection during her stay in the foster care.They dashed and hugged her as they noticed her arrival."By the way dear, someone sent a parcel for you yesterday. We accepted it but we noticed not any single note was affixed in it. The delivery man implied that it was excusively for you. I was supposed to call you after our breakfast but you came early. I have no idea why it was transported here not in your adress." Ma'am Sophie spelled out in detail.Hillary was astonished. She got hold of the parcel and immediately open it. Upon spying what's inside the package she can't hold back her tears any longer. It was her photo with Nikko and Bat Man. "Where are they now? " she querried as her tears rolled down her cheeks freely. She swiftly dried her tears to a
Hillary has only three weeks left before the big event. Since she considered coming in New York two weeks prior to the competition. She only have this week to hang around and pull off the things she desired to do.She received a text from Marina signifying that Marcus will treat them to a lunch out. She was delighted. In spite after they graduated these two friends of her were still attached to her. She is grateful that despite her parent's unavailability she have Marcus and Marina by her side. She was touched.They will meet up in Adam Perry Lang Restaurant since both of them take pleasure eating with barbecues. It's acknowledged for its mouthwatering menus and is top of the line. She's so happy that she will be allocating a palatable lunch with the chatters. As she threw herself into the restaurant she quickly spotted the two anticipating for her arrival. "You're here. Been waiting for two hours already". Marina said grinning."Seriously?" she was surprised."Just kidding. Anyways
Hillary arrived in Manhattan New York. It was a straight five hours flight for her. She felt so exhausted. She conveyed her two suitcases, her guitar, and her sling bag.She mailed messages to her mom, her dad, Marina and Marcus notifying them that she reached there safe and sound. She decided to grab a take out meal first. After the flight she felt hungry. She ended up having a taste at La Grenouille. After the scrumptous meal in the restaurant, she then understood why it became famous. The food is incredible.She hailed a taxi and presented to the driver the address that Marina provided. It was not a long way from the airport, she was grateful for her friend's aid.After half an hour drive, not far away she spotted a girl which is in her early forties based in her assesment. She has a short blonde hair. The lady was patiently waiting for her. She rolled down the taxi's window and inquired,"Is this the Erica Hein's apartment" she wanted to make sure."Yes, welcome to my place" Eric
