Chapter 4

"Get the heck down!" Raven whispered screamed,being bossy as usual

"I am down!" exclaimed Willow

"Both of you just shut the heck up," whispered Jayden

"You shut up, I don't even know why you Malik and Xavior are even here"

A ping came from Willow as she took her phone out of her pocket.

"It's Aliyah, she is almost here with Nevaeh!!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ok I know I said I was looking for an apartment but I didn't mean you could go ahead and-"

"Shush," Aliyah interrupted

"Don't you tell me to-"

"Just shush and come with me"

"Fine"

A ping soon came from Aliyah's bag and she took her phone out while eyeing Nev making sure she isn't watching her.

Where are you??? : Willow

Aliyah: We are almost at the apartment

Yes  yes we are : Willow

Alyiah: Perfect she doesn't suspect a thing

however she is quite mad we rented the apartment for her

Oh well : Willow

Aliyah: well erm

Ughh you twatttt Neveah is gonna flip when she sees them : Willow

Aliyah : Oh well

Aliyah : Tell her i said she should piss off

Aliyah : I'm sure they will be fine

stop complaining

I gtg Nevaeh is calling me

Ok don't make it baitt : Willow

Aliyah : I won'tt :))

Another message popped on Alyiah's phone just before she was about to put it away

"Ugh what does Willow want now," She muttered under her breathe

"Alyiahhh, are you not coming!" Nevaeh called back 

"Yh.. just give... me a sec," Aliyah's voice starts to fade as she glared at her phone.

"You alright there?" Neveah asked

"Yh, yh I'm good " she replied while  hurrying over to catch up with Nev

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aliyah tossed Nevaeh the keys. She was so excited, she was going to finally have her own place. It wasn't as luxurious as her childhood home back in Italy but she was never a stingy or ungrateful child.

Her mother taught her well and that's why she was not ignorant or spoilt towards the Clarks. In fact at their times of financial crisis she would always offer them the money her father gave to her before she left but they always declined.

They said they wanted her to have the best future she could possibly have and that she shouldn't ever offer them her money ever. 

It was hard at times they almost got evicted once but after Mr. Clark went to search for a new job. A higher paying job for the matter. Mrs Clark couldn't work at that period because she was pregnant.

Even thought hat sort of news was supposed to bring joy and happiness into a home that feeling wasn't rally there. 

Don't get them wrong they were happy with bringing new life into the family. Another little Clark, however at that moment, their financially status wasn't that good and God it would break them if social services would take their kids  away but still the Clarks would refuse to borrow money off Nevaeh.

It was almost like someone was threatening them not to accept. But that would be silly. Right????

Before she could turn on the light she was spooked by the loud

"SURPRISE!" that startled her 

"Wait wha?"

"Chile come on don't tell me you forgot about your own birthday" said Willow

Nev was speechless, she just stood their gorping at everyone with her jaw dropped

"Well say somethingg!" exclaimed Raven

She immediately snapped back to reality, "Oh Gosh.. thank you soo so much"

"No problem girll," replied Replied as she walked over to her.

" I am sorry about the boys," she whispered

"Ayy we heard that!" shouted Xavior"

"It's ok" Nevaeh giggled as she walked straight into what was now her new home.

"Happy birthdayy!" they all shouted.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can these guys get wasted so quickly in such a small gathering. Nevaeh couldn't help but laugh at everyone as she helped Raven tidy up. The boys had already left and so did Alyiah for some reason.

I don't know why but i can't help to think that she has been moving sus lately. What on earth could she be doing that was more important than me? Why wasn't she at school on the first day back because her parents were 100% sure she went to school that day. Why was she panicking when she was on her phone yesterday?

I don't know what is up with her but I am going to find out.

"What you thinking about?" questioned Willow

I quickly snap back to reality, "what do you man?"

"Oh no, darling, girl, babeee don't play dumb with me"

Great she was drunk.

"I honestly don't know what you are talking about"

"Listen girlyy I have known you for the past 10 years, I know you like I know the back of my hand."

 She was so drunk that she  didn't even know where she was going or what she was leaning on.

"That same hand that you are no putting on the hob of the electric cooker... that is still o-"

"Aghghghghg!" she screamed "You fucking twatt!"

Me and Raven just couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll get u clean film and some ice," added Raven as she 

"Well hurry up u dooshbag and Nevaeh tell me what your so Gah damn worried about."

"Fine, I think something is going on with Alyiah."

"Your probably being paranoid again," Raven replied 

"No I am not, think about it she never gets in touch with us like that anymore, she is always late to meet ups or class and she is normally never late."

"Again your probably over thinking it"

"No  Raven, she does have a point," Willow interrupted as she walked over to Raven taking the clean film and ice to place on her now red hand

"She has been acting weird and I'm glad I am not the only one seeing it," I turn to look at Willow

"Ok if you suppose she does, there is nothing we can do."

"Well we can at least find out,"Willow stumbled onto the sofa

"I am not liking the sound of this."

"Well to bad, we are gonna spy hehe."

"I like the sound of that."

"Are you sure you can hear anything straight wit you drunk ass?" questioned Raven.

"I can hear you can't I?" and with that she collapsed 

Me and Raven both shook our heads as we begin to laugh.

"Don't you think we should call the ambulance with that hand?" I ask

"Naa, she will be fine?" raven replied, "I'll drop her home."

"No it's fine, you guys can crash for the night."

"Crash on what you just moved in"

"Girl while you guys were busy getting drunk i started on my bedroom"

"Really?"

"Yep."

"Fine."

"You can stay in the extra room considering I don't have any roommates"

With that they soon heard a knock on the door.

"Who could that be at this time?" Raven glared at me

"I don't know.. actually it could be the apartment owner," I walk over to the door and open it.

"Hello Miss Hernández," greeted the voice.

"Good evening Edmond, what brings you here at this time?"

"I know it's late but i was already close by so I thought why not tell you in person."

"tell you that you are going to have a roomie move in."

"What?"

"There was kind of a mix up with the designated dorms so you actually do have a roommate."

"oh wow, when is she moving in?"

"Who said it was a she?"

You have got to be kidding me. You have got to be fricking kidding me. He expects me to share a I know this apartment has to bedrooms but seriously ugh.

"His name is Lucas and he will be sharing this apartment with you,he will also be moving in tomorrow morning so make sure your ready and everything is set"

"Could you not have told me this earlier??"

"I know your annoyed at this last minute news and information but like I said, there was a mix up with everything. Look I gave him the second pair of keys so you don't need to worry about opening the door for him. He should be here by around 5am considering he is going to school."

"Wait don't we have a new guy coming to our school?" asked Raven

"Yh we do, Edmond who did you say this guy was again?"

"Lucus, Lucus Ferera and i think he is moving into NYC"

Great the new chick is moving into an apartment with me. Amazing. Splendid. 

"Well miss Hernández and-"

"Raven, my name is Raven."

"Miss Hernández , Raven I say goodbye to both of you."

"Byee," Raven and I both say in unison.

Amazing. I now have  roommate, I wonder what other surprises this day has for me.

"All the more reason to finish tidying up," Raven spoke as if she read my mind while attempting to lift Willow up, "are you not going to help me?"

"Fine," I walk over to the sofa and hold the left side of Willow while positioning her left arm over my shoulder.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I rolled out of bed and strolled out of my room forgetting to check the time. I walk into the kitchen to look for food as I heard footsteps or what I thought I heard.

Maybe I was just being paranoid. hallucinating, wait isn't that for only seeing things?

I ignored what ever sound my mind was making me imagine and continue to scavenge through the fridge until I heard a door creek open.

"Raven...is that you?"

No reply. The footsteps just got closer and closer. It's then I thought to turn on the light. Wow, why did't I think of that before, I honestly  do not know.

After turning on the light I turn to see a tall figure  towering over me. I felt his beady eyes scanning my body and analysing every single detail on my face.

He wore a navy blue vest that covered up to the back of his neck. His muscles clenched together as he lifted his hand and brushed through his waves.

He had a scar that slit across his left eyebrow down across his left eye and and a small patch of stitches on the side of his right cheek.

His abs, oh I so wanted to touch, to feel. Wait what? All these things, images popping through my mind. I couldn't help but stare at those gorgeous abs and I soon found my eyes wondering down to his-

"You must be Nevaeh I presume."

My thoughts were interrupted by his deep hostile voice. So rich. It made me tense up and shiver.

"Yep that's me, and you must be Lucus."

"Indeed, yes I am," he chuckled as his eyes began to wonder down my bare legs.

A shit I completely forgot that I was wearing only an oversized shirt. Oh well neither of us really seemed to mind.
