The Marriage Contract 2-15
30th. May. Tuesday.Damon, Damien, and Aria got to school the next day, and they couldn't help but sense there was something like a vibe in school. Students were talking to each other in the hallway. In fact, everyone."What's happening?" Damien wondered looking around at everyone's brooding faces."Something really did happen," Aria confirmed also looking at everyone gossiping with their sad faces on.She walked toward a girl, and the boys followed. "Hi, Charity. Did something happen?"Charity looked at Aria and nodded. "Yeah. We heard something big happened. Something very sad.""What's the sad thing?" Damon asked."It's Sam from our class. We heard he's dead.""Samuel Fitz?" Damien asked for clarification.Charity and her friend nodded. "The news came in early this morning from the teachers. He died of food poisoning." Charity's friend made known."Soon they're going to call us all out for an assembly once information has reached the principal." Charity made known.The siblings nod

"Dad, mom..." Damien looked at his mom, and dad as they sat on the dining chair."What is it?" Alexa asked him."There's something you guys should know." Damien continued and looked at his siblings. They nodded giving the go-ahead."It seems it's something bad." Leo noticed.They all nodded. "Someone died in school.""What?" Alexa asked with a frown, while Leo was taken aback by it.""A kid named Sam Fitzgerald. He died."Leo nodded. "Okay. What killed him? Accident?""Drug overdose." Damon blunted out.Leo and Alexa looked at him. "He took too much paracetamol or what?" Leo asked.Damon shook his head. "The illegal kind."Leo and Alexa looked at each other surprised by it."Methamphetamine?" Leo asked.They all shrugged."Who gave him that?" Alexa asked with a frown on her face."The cops are beginning their investigation tomorrow," Aria answered."Although he was caught using drugs before he died. It was found in his bags and he admitted it. We just don't know or get how he overdose

"This is just wrong, Philip. Watching a little kid as a suspect. Not fun."Philip looked at the frown on his partner's face. "Still this stakeout is necessary, Rita. We have to find the older kid behind the little kid. He might come to visit."Rita nodded. "Yeah, I guess. I still find the domino effect hard to believe. Kids taking meth? How are we even sure that Joseph kid didn't take it? Kids do lie.""That's why I'm thinking of doing a test on them. It's essential." Philip imparted.Rita looked at the door of the house of Alan Murray. "It's a good thing the parents weren't informed yet. We have to be sure if that kid was right, or wasn't just throwing his friend under the bus.""You don't believe him?" Philip asked.Rita looked at him. "Believe that a kid like Alan is capable of introducing and forcing his friends to take meth? That's absurd." She looked back at the door. "At least for now.""Who do you really suspect, then?"Rita looked back at him. "Left to me, it'll be the older

(1st. June. Thursday.)"Happy new month, Leo."Leo looked at her as he was about to wear his jacket. "You're awake."Alexa nodded. "Yeah. And you're already dressed for work.""Told you I have an early meeting."Alexa sighed. "Yeah, you did. So, um, there's a special day this month, you know that right?""Father's day?"Alexa chuckled. "Yeah. That, and your birthday. Two days it seems.""Oh." Leo gaped, and then he nodded putting on his tie. "Yeah.""We should celebrate it this time, Leo. I really don't like the fact that you neglect it. It's an important day."Leo sighed, picked up his shoes, sat on the bed, and began wearing them. "I've told you times without number, Alexa. It's nothing to celebrate.""Everyone's birthday is worth celebrating.""Not mine, Alexa. It makes me remember things that I don't want to remember. The main purpose of why I was brought to life.""You're letting it affect you, Leo. You shouldn't keep letting it. I feel like you just hate celebrations as a whole.

Alexa looked outside her window, her brow furrowed as she saw a car stopped in front of their gate. "Someone is here, Leo."Leo looked at her and got up toward the window. He tried wrapping his hands around her, but she wiggled herself away and walked toward the door. "We should go check who that is."Leo sighed feeling frustrated at Alexa. He was beginning to wonder what he'll do to appease her.Alexa left the room and Leo followed. They both walked down the stairs and as she was about to walk out of the door... "Leave it be, Alexa. I'll handle it."Alexa looked at him and sighed, then she looked toward the movie room, or as her kids like to call it, their game room. The door was ajar, so she decided to go meet them.Leo watched her go, he shook his head and proceeded out the door, and toward the gate. He opened it as the visitor was about to knock."Hi."Leo looked at her in confusion. She was oddly familiar. "Do I know you?""If I'm that lucky to be remembered, we've taken glances

Four days later. (5th June. Monday.)"Hey! Charlotte!" Aria called as Charlotte was about to walk past her.Charlotte stopped in her tracks and turned toward Aria. Aria did the same, her hands folded, giving Charlotte a smug smile."What do you want, Aria?"Aria walked toward her. "I don't like the attitude you've been giving to me, Charlotte. Don't you think it's high time you apologize to me?""Apologize?" Charlotte asked with a frown. "We both know I did nothing wrong.""Does it matter?""If it doesn't matter, then why not apologize to me instead?"Aria scoffed. "Apologize to you? You must have been dreaming big to ever think that."Charlotte sighed and nodded. "Then don't call me when you see me. If you don't apologize, this friendship is over." She turned and walked away.Aria gritted her teeth at her retreating back and turned toward her other friend who just watched. "It seems Charlotte has grown some wings."Her friend blinked nervously. "Truth be told, you wronged her, Aria.

[Three weeks and four days later. (22nd. June. Wednesday.)]"Alan has officially left the school. How are you doing?"Joseph lowered his head. "A bit guilty. If I had reported, I would have saved them earlier on."The principal sighed. "You don't have to blame yourself. Does your dad know everything that's happening?"Joseph nodded. "Yeah. He's just too busy to concern himself. He knows I'm safe.""And you are? I just don't want you to get affected by it. Make new friends, okay?"Joseph nodded. "Yes, ma'am.""Do the Hodges still bother you?"Joseph shook his head. "In a while, they haven't. I guess they're waiting for things to die down first. I'm really scared of them, ma'am."The principal sighed. "If any complaints about them come to my table again, I'll make sure I do something about it.""What about their father? He defends them. He doesn't even know his kids are bullies""Well, next time, when they bother you, be smart about it. There needs to be evidence to prove those kids are

Alexa was browsing seriously on the file Leo brought home, leaning against the headboard, and smiled knowing her company is really left in good hands. Everything was moving smoothly, and her stock prices rising. Some members of her board even told her that truly Leo is extremely annoying, can be disrespectful, and is too annoyingly straightforward, but he does a good job. His ideas, terrific.She looked as the door opened and Leo entered in. "Going through the folder?" He asked seeing the file in her hands.Alexa nodded and dropped it on the vanity. "Done tucking your daughter to bed?"Leo smiled and sat beside her. "She loves my stories.""Hmm. I'm kinda having a feeling she won't grow out of it." Alexa disclosed.Leo nodded. "I'll stop it sooner, or instead reduce it. She'll definitely grow up."Alexa equally nodded. "So, what's going on these days?""With work?" Leo asked confused."Your life. I can't help, but feel you're up to something."Leo rose a brow. "What got you that idea?
