View MoreI walked as fast as my legs could take me , looking at my worn out watch for the time.
Oh goodness Mr Billiemo would be so mad
I walked into the restaurant i am waitressing at and saw Mr Billiemo pacing around angrily
"I'm really sorry sir, my younger sister fell ill and i had to run to the store to get drugs for her" i said while shivering
"Save it for someone that care's Aubrey you're fired" he turns and left
I stood there for what seemed like eternity i am fired, my only hope of living and i just got fired
I looked over searching for Mr Billiemo and i saw him, i ran over to him
"Please sir,I'm really sorry please don't fire me i beg of you" i pleaded with him with tears running down my cheeks
He looks at me with disgust " see Aubrey i was only using you till i got a better waitress and now that i have one you can't work here anymore "
I knelt down pleading and begging him but he walks away.
I stood up with my head hung low and walked out of the restaurant.
The cold breeze hits my face and i start crying what am i going to do
I walked back home slowly, my father died over ten years ago and my mom got remarried leaving my little sister June with me since about five years ago, now i stay in a one bedroom apartment in one of the most dangerous neighborhood with my little sister. I worked as a waitress in Mr Billiemo's restaurant to pay our rent and feed us but now all of that was gone.
I sighed heavily and walked towards my apartment, i got home and saw a letter addressed to me reminding me of my rent,failure to pay would result to eviction, i sat on the floor and cried my eyes out the money i had saved up i used in buying June's drugs this morning, wiping my tears I opened the door
"June,June!!" I called out with no response, i saw her laying on the bed and walked towards her "June!! June!!" She still wasn't responding, i started to panic
Shakily i dialed 911 and an ambulance came and took her.
At the hospital I wasn't allowed into the room, minutes seemed like hours I draped my head over my hands with tears running down my face
"Family of June Shawl please " immediately stood up looking at the doctor "I'm her sister"
He looks at me with sympathy "Miss, June's condition is critical and she needs a kidney transplant"
My world crumbled as soon as i heard that "k-ki-kidney transplant b-but h-how, she was a little sick and we thought it was a cold, how can she" i kept rambling
The doctor places his hand on my shoulder bringing me out of my shock, i look at him with my blooshot eyes
"S-she can use my kidney, please make June better" i cried hysterically
"I promise to do everything in my power miss" he smiles pitifully at me
I walked into the room and saw June laying fragile and frail, my heart broke into a million pieces on seeing my younger sister with an oxygen mask o her face depending on some wires to live. I placed my hand on my mouth silencing the loud sobs coming from me, i walked over to her shakily
"June" i held her frail hands in mine, using my other free hand to wipe my tears
"I know you are a fighter, please you have to get through this babygirl, you can't leave me alone" tears falling down my cheeks freely
"I'll be right back" i cleaned my tears and walked out of the room, i saw a cleaner at the hallway
"Please where is the office of the doctor in charge of my sister" i ask her and she points towards a door
"Thank you " i walked to the office and knocked lightly, i waited till i heard a come in
"Welcome miss, please sit down" the doctor gestures towards a sit and i sat down
"I'm sorry for disturbing you doctor, i need to know what i can do for my sister " i tell him
"Yes of course miss, we will conduct a test to see if your kidney is in good condition tomorrow " he says and i nod
"How about the payment " i ask him
"You would need to see the cashier for that" he says and i nod
"Thank you doctor " i stood up and went out of the room
How am I supposed to pay for this, where would i get the money?
Sweat pores started to form on my head, using my head to wipe it. I walk towards the cashier and i learnt that the amount for the surgery would be 400,000$
I walked out of the hospital, walking aimlessly on the street
Where am I supposed to get 400,000$
Even if i work 5 jobs I won't be able to raise such an amount
I sat down on a chair silently, I wondered if my dad was alive maybe I would've gone to college and maybe I won't have so many responsibilities, just maybe
I don't know how long i sat there gazing at the sky
My life has never been normal, a normal family consisting of the father, mother and children. Instead mine is just June and I. I sighed as tears fell unto my cheeks, my shoulders shaking vehemently
How would i raise such an amount in such a short period, I've never been able to raise 10,000$, now I'm required to raise 400,000$
I stood up from the chair and walked back home
Well it's my home until i get kicked out
Would my mom be willing to help if she knew about June's condition
I wondered as my legs went towards the direction
I got home and opened the door, silently dropping my used rubber-banded phone on the bed, i fell on the bed
I need to stop crying, i need to raise this money whichever way
Four Years AfterChris's Pov"Chris!" I heard Aubrey yell over the phone and I groaned internally, She was getting more cranky and demanding everyday, Now I am out trying to get chocolates and Icecream at Two in the midnight "Yes Babe!" I replied and heard her sigh over the phone "You're tired of me, aren't you?" She says sadly and I groaned internally "I can never be tired of you babe" I tell her"So you are getting my chocolate and Icecream?" She asks excitedly and I rolled my eyes "Yes, I am on my way back" I say and I heard her giggle, I cut the call and drove towards the house.Since Aubrey got pregnant, I've been going out of my mind trying keep up with her midnight cravings, Well Aubrey and I got married here in NewYork about two years ago in a simple manner, well Aubrey wanted it that way and U couldn't object to it!Having married her was and Is one of the best thing that has happened to me, also her getting pregnant, It still seemed
Aubrey's Pov1 Year After"Aubs, you need to calm down" Amanda says and I looked at her "Calm down! Calm down! We aren't even done with the decorations yet, how do you expect me to calm down?" I said and shut my eyes closed, I was really fustrated at this point that I didn't know what to do. My phone starts to ring and I picked it without checking the ID "What!!" I bellowed into the phone and heard a deep chuckle "You might want to rethink that help I offered" Chris says and I groaned internally "Fine, do your magic!" I say sarcastically and sat down looking at the mess that was made, Amanda was no where in sight after I yelled at her already but I mean, can you blame me ? My restaurant opening is tomorrow and I haven't even gotten half of anything done, Now I know you are surprised to hear Resturant and not a Coffee shop but I guess changes are part of life.I changed my mind from a Coffee shop and decided to open a restaurant, Amanda has been hired as the chef even though I was agai
Aubrey's PovI couldn't believe what I am about to do, Here I am with Chris half naked on the bed, he stands up and unbuttoned his shirt, I averted my gaze away from his toned chest, I heard him chuckle and his fingers touched my legs up to my thighs, The sensation I was feeling was indescribable, I felt his fingers grazed my inner thigh and I gasped, he slowly laid unto me as his lips found mine again, I slowly melted into the kiss and his hand grazed my feminine part even with the pantiesHis lips left mine and slowly and kissed my neck down the parting of my breasts, My breath hitched as I felt his breath linger on my nipple before his tongue circled my nipple, I felt my stomach flipped, I shut my eyes tighter as pleasure flowed through my body, I have never before felt this amount of pleasure, I shuddered at his touch (Not in a bad way, but in a good way) His lips left my nipple and kissed my tommy way down, I felt his lips down my abdomen and still going down, I f
About a week and a half has passed and I've seen Noah about twice, Chris calls me everyday to know how I am doing and even Emila has called me, June whines into the phone at every opportunity she gets about how much she misses me and wants me to come back home, I couldn't help but laugh at her silliness.I already visited my old home although it is now occupied by some other people, I got flashes of my childhood with my parents and how much they loved each other until it all went south! I saw Hannah once and she got teary eyed on seeing me, she kept apologizing to me She genuinely felt guilty about me leaving the town but I told her it wasn't because of her or her mom!Everyone kept complimenting me on how good I look that I almost started to believe it, Maybe I actually did look good, I can say my staying here did make me feel better about myself, I no longer felt paranoid about Isabelle or Nicole, I felt more peace and at ease just by being here and I totally loved it! I visited my f
The next day, Chris's call woke me up from bed and I smiled immediately I saw his name on my screen "Hello!" I say and heard some shuffling over the phone until he responded, we spoke for a couple of minutes and hung up the call.I got out of bed and had my bath , I wanted to visit my dad's grave today, after five years! I know it is long overdue but you can't blame me for that, I prepared myself mentally to face my dad, even though he wasn't alive I still felt his presence more constant here. I sighed and walked out of the hotel, trying to locate where I could get flowers, I saw a flower shop across and I went into get someI came back outside after I had gotten one and I stopped at Taxi to take me to the town cemetery, It felt like I was going to see my dad physically even though he was dead but then again, I could feel his presence more around here"We are here ma'am " The taxi driver says to me and I looked up to see we had gotten there, I searched through m
I asked June yesterday in the presence of everyone and I mean everyone If she wanted to go with me or stay here with Grams and Gramps but guess what, she wanted to stay here'Haha!' I was hopinh she would stay back because I needed this to myself alone, Does that make me selfish? I don't think so! Today is the day I am leaving to Vermie! I wanted to go back home and see my dad's grave again! I just wanted to get away from all that i have been facing! For once in myife simce my mom left us, I would be going somewhere without June and I wanted too, of course I know June would be in safe hands and I don't have to worry about anything here!"Aubrey!" I heard Chris call out to me and I turned to look at him "Yeah, Chris!" I replied and he walked closer to me, enclosing me into a bear hug, I sighed as I got comfortable in his arms "I will miss you Aubrey!" He says and I chuckle "It's just two weeks, Greenie" I say and he chuckled and kissed my forehead, I tilted my head upwa
A few days have passed since the Isabelle incident and Chris and I are doing better, Well mostly Chris! I could hardly sleep because of the trauma! I keep imagining things everywhere and it hasn't been easy to keep this to myself, We were both getting discharged today and I'm glad I can finally leave the hospitalI need some peace and quiet, without the world noise constantly getting to me Nor the stress I always have to put up with, I needed to get away from NY at any cost, Although I knew Chris wouldn't allow it but I have to find myself, I feel like with all the Chaos that had happened I need to find and regain myself, I didn't usually sleep with my eyes open but now that is like the normal way for me!Isabelle has striken awake a part of me that I never thought existed and that was the fear part, I hated feeling so weak and vulnerable but I can't help it if that's how i felt, Constantly watching over my back so I don't get shot or stabbed, I didn't
Aubrey's PovThe time seemed to stop as I looked back and forth at Chris and Isabelle who were both laying on the floor with blood surrounding them! I couldn't think straight as I clutched Chris's shirt tightly, Some nurses and doctor came over immediately and took him on a stretcher, My mind could focus on anything, I couldn't think about anythingChris just got shot because of me! He got shot with a bullet that was meant for me! I rushed out with the strecher that Chris was laying on as tears streamed down my face "Please help him" I cried hysterically "Doctor White has just been shot, Get the operating room ready please " I heard someone say as we approached a room "Aubrey, you can't come in" I heard the familiar doctor say and I looked at him "B-but, he is.." I stuttered, still crying and he holds me by my shoulder "He will be fine Aubrey, Really he will be fine" He says and I watched as he walked into the room Chris was wheeled in, I stood out there pacing a
Aubrey's PovIt felt like I was in those action movies where they throw a knife and you catch it but No, this is real life and a knife is being thrown at me! I ducked my head and looked at the knife that was currently stucked into the curtainMy heart beat went up from 50 to 200, I just had a knife thrown at me, my palms were sweating as hell right now as i shakily looked at Isabelle who was smiling at me "Aww, Such a shame! Shall we play this game again?" She says and i shook my head profusely"Isabelle, please! I would leave your lives, please!!" I pleaded with her and glanced at the door, hoping and praying someone would come in"You shouldn't look there, no one would come here to save you, everyone is busy with that fire incident! So no saviour for you" She says and pulls out a gun, where from? I don't know!"Did you think I brought only the knife! Haha, you really cannot be that stupid right" She says and I looked at her shoc
