One month in Alaska

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"It's time for breakfast Gianna." Mrs Adams shouted from outside. Annoyed and disturbed, Gianna yelled at her "Leave me alone mum!". Mrs Adams left her room and went downstairs to join the rest of the family who started eating already. " She's not ready to come out of her room." Mrs Adams drawled as she took a seat on the right hand side of her husband. "I wonder what's going on with her." Mrs Adams said again as she looked up at her room door.

"Mateo,what's wrong with your sister?" Mr Adams asked. Silence followed and the couple looked up at Mateo who playing games on his phone with earphones plugged in his ears. "Mateo!!" The couple yelled. This time around he heard them. He looked at them confusingly and removed the earphones. Staring at the cheesed off faces, he asked cluelessly "What?." "Hand over that phone...Now!" Mr Adams said with an authoritative voice and shaken Mateo dropped the phone on the table for Mr Adams to pick it up. "What's wrong with your sister?" Mrs Adams asked Mateo again. "You should ask her yourself" Mateo said with sarcasm.

Mrs Adams stretched her hand and slapped his back hard. "Mum!" Mateo screamed. "You lack basic manners and I'll teach you!" Mrs Adams shouted at him. "Now,I'm going to ask again, what's wrong with Gianna?." Not wanting to receive a hit again, he answered politely "I'm not sure, maybe the psycho doctor is giving her problems.." "And who is this psycho doctor that reserves a seat in a bus to the afterlife? Huh! Why making my daughter's life miserable?" Mrs Adams was shouting at a neutral tone. "Calm down honey.." Mr Adams cooed.

Gianna's footsteps could be heard as she walked down the stairs slowly. Everyone's attention was gained as they all look up to watch her till she got to the ground floor. Her eyes were kinda red and she looked pale. Her lips were dry too. "Good morning everyone.." She greeted. Her voice came out hoarse. She had cried the whole night, her head was banging hard that when she got up from the bed, she lost balance and had to stay for a while to gather strength. She came down to eat breakfast probably because she had no strength to cry again.

"Good morning darling.." Mrs Adams replied as he made her seat beside her.

She started eating and she noticed that Mateo was glaring at her. "What is it?." She asked as she put a bacon in her mouth. "You know what? Everything about you is just so annoying!." Mateo said. "Stop that Mateo! She's your elder sister" Mr Adams scolded. Gianna wasn't in anyway surprised,he has always been like that so she's used to it. "Apologize now!" Mr Adams ordered. "..I'm sorry" Mateo said to Gianna insincerely and he got up to walk out on the family when he heard his dad say "Walk out and you're taking a break from your phone for a month" Wtf! No on told Mateo before he took his seat and resumed eating. He was going to make Gianna pay for this!.

"Gianna, pack your bags, you are visiting Alaska tomorrow" Gianna was surprised. Her fork slipped from her hand clumsily. "Alaska? Going there for what?". "A month holiday with Old Williams.." Mr Adams said and Mateo let out and mocking laugh. "Ha ha haha ha, I guess I'm gonna have peace for the rest of the year." "Don't get too excited Mateo, you're also going to Florida, to stay with the old Adams,for a month."

Mateo was unable to believe what he just heard "You've got to be kidding me mum, there's no way I'm going to Florida, absolutely no way! I'd better go to Alaska" Mateo protested. "It has been decided, I booked a seat for you already. It's an early take off, you are on the train's top reserved seats so get set very early tomorrow okay?" Mr Adams said, not expecting a reply. Mockingly, Gianna let out a smile and said to Mateo "Wish you a happy holiday bro!." Mateo glared at her angrily but she only smiled back.

"Gianna, I'm sure you haven't take a leave at your place of work this year, so you should be granted a one month leave right?" Mr Adams asked. "Yeah..sure." "Uhmm, speaking about work, Gianna don't you think you should be at the hospital by now?" Mrs Adams said after glancing at the wall clock in the living room. Gianna turned to check what the time was and damn! It's 8:49am. "How come no one told me time's far spent?" She screamed as she sprang on her feet. 'Temple run activated!'. She ran to her room like a crazy cheetah. She almost fell on the staircase and Mrs Adams heart gripped in fear "Take it easy darling.!"

After she spent a minute under the shower, she turned it off and quickly dressed up, she didn't bother applying her body lotion. She put on a high waist black fitted trousers, a cropped white T-shirt with a black camisole beneath , a white sneakers and packed her hair into a neat ponytail.

Getting to the ground floor, Mrs Adams quickly crossed Gianna with a cup of tea in her hand. "Finish up your tea.." Gianna collected the cup and emptied the contents into her mouth and then gave it back to her mum.

On her way to the bus stop, she jogged for a while, stopped, walked for a while,stopped and jogged again so that she wouldn't miss the last bus that morning. It went on like that till she got to the bus stop. She waited for about ten minutes before the last bus arrived and she boarded it.

Getting to the 10th floor, she went straight to her office which she shared with a cardiothoracic nurse , a colleague and two other junior practitioner. Getting there, she met no one in the office and she wondered where they were. She dropped her bag and put on her gown which had a badge that indicated the name of the hospital and 'Gianna Adams'. She peeped outside the office and called the attention of a passing nurse quietly to ask him where the cardiothoracic surgery team were. She was replied with "They are in the OR (Operating room)" and Gianna was shocked to her bones. Jeez,she felt like dying right now. Her life was so doomed. She missed an operation again!. Getting to know that her boyfriend is dating her best friend was more better than this news she just received. The psychopathic dog is definitely going to pull her ears and scold her till the Heavens open. She sneaked to the OR area and tried to get the room that her team were preforming in. She tiptoed from one room to another and when she got to the 6th room she'll be checking, she peeped again to see those who were inside and she suddenly heard a voice behind her "And where have you been?." Gianna stiffened as she already knew who it was - the one she has been trying to avoid.

Slowly, she turned around to face him and she kept her head low. "I'm sorry.." She said as she intertwined her fingers at her back nervously and waited for the crazy dog's lashing. "You are always sorry for your unpunctuality,you missed a heart operation class again. I wonder when you'll graduate from this university, I bet you'll be here till you get grey hair." Doctor Jose was shouting on top of his flat voice. People passing by stared at him as he kept blabbing. Gianna wasn't embarrassed because she was used to get these scoldings almost everyday. Apart from the first lines of words he said, Gianna didn't hear anything anymore, the only thing on her mind was how to escape the crazy dog now.

She saw a group of doctors in their gowns and seeing that the crazy dog wasn't looking at her,she mingled with the passing by doctors and acted normal. Before he realised that she was gone, Gianna was close to her office. Angry, Doctor Jose yelled out of anger"Gianna Adams!!!."

"So you got coffee this morning?." Nurse Maya asked. "Sure..a hot one" Gianna answered as she tiredly sat on her chair. Maya wheeled her chair to where was and patted her back "This will also pass." Gianna let out a smile and sat up straight to start work. She felt energized by Maya's words. Maya wheeled back to her space also. After some minutes, Maya said uncomfortably "My throat feels sore..". Gianna offered to go get her coffee and as she was about to open the door, the door was pushed from outside and a medical practitioner called Zoe,walked in. The lady and Gianna stared at each other for some seconds then Zoe walked into the office fully while Gianna left.

***

It's lunch break and Gianna and Zoe were the only ones in the office,the others had gone out to have lunch. Gianna was looking up some internal organs on the computer while Zoe was doing only - God - knows on her phone. She was giggling and all, Gianna couldn't bring herself to challenge her. She was feeling really uncomfortable with her.

Minutes after, the door opened and Gianna let out a sigh of relief, believing that the other practitioner s were here but she was shocked to her bones when she saw someone she always hoped and prayed not to meet or see for the rest of her days on earth. It was Axel.

The latter walked in with a smiling face and Zoe got up from her seat to hug him. Gianna and Axel's eyes met but she immediately withdrew her eyes and turned to her computer. Her heart started beating at a very fast rate and as she saw Zoe place her lips on his lips, she felt shattered and tears threatened to drop from her eyes. She quickly took them back and tried focusing on what she was studying. Suddenly,Zoe intentionally started forming false emotions just for a show in front of Axel "Baby...I missed you so much, I thought I was gonna die of missing you..I..I..I missed you so....." Her voice broke and she shed crocodile tears. Touched by her words, Axel pulled her into his arms and patted her hair just like he used to, to Gianna. Gianna was really amused and angry at the same time, how can someone be two - faced?. Zoe forced a kiss with Axel again,this time, it was long. Even though Axel wasn't in support of kissing her in front of Gianna,she did it intentionally to anger Gianna. Not able to withstand the freaking scene, Gianna shut down the system and walked out of the office.

Just after she left, Zoe pulled out of the kiss and smirked when Axel wasn't watching. ",Look, I brought you lunch" Axel said.

After she left the office, Gianna ran to the restroom and locked herself up in one of the toilets. She fell to the floor and started crying very hard, she cried for minutes and tried to get up. With wobbled legs,she fell to the floor again. She had to stay for minutes before getting up again. This time, her legs were stable and she washed her face, wiped it and dressed her hair neatly before leaving the restroom.

"Whoa! The smell of Alaska.." Gianna said as she inhaled deeply. She was away from the rail port now,all she needed to do was board a cab to her grannies' home.

Ting! It's time for the passengers' crossing. Walking across the road slowly while pressing her phone didn't make her realise that the 'P.C' light had changed to the red light. A car was driving towards her at a full speed and before she realised it,the car almost hit her but it didn't. It mist have taken the driver a lot of human capita to stop the moving car. Gianna quickly moved out of the road in fear and bowed her head in apology to the driver. She couldn't see him though, the car was tainted black. After the car left, Gianna sighed and said to herself "This is a very bad one.." She believed that her days in Alaska will be filled with risks and dangers. After some minutes, she successful boarded a taxicab to her grandparents' house.

As she entered the Williams' house, she shouted "Hello here!" There was no reply. She wondered where the old couple had gone to. Suddenly, she heard an old but firm voice behind "Is that my granddaughter?" Turning back to look at him, her grandfather, Gianna said happily "Of course! It's me grandpa" She says and pulled him into a right hug "I missed you so much grandpa" Pa Patrick patted her back and pulled out of the hug. They really missed each other. The last time they saw each other was 10 years ago,when she was 14. She and her parents including little Mateo came to Alaska for a Christmas holiday, but this time around, she came alone, as a grown up.

"I don't see grandma..." Gianna said as she eye - searched.

"Grandma!" Gianna screamed as she sighted ma Lucy in the garden. "Gia..is that you?" "Yes granny" Gianna replied and ran to where her grandmother was and hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much" Gianna said amidst happy tears. "I missed you too..grandchild..." Ma Lucy said and Gianna chuckled. "I'm no longer a grandchild granny. I'm a grand lady!" Gianna said hilariously. Ma Lucy slapped her back "Aargh!" Ma Lucy held her face and said emotionally "To me, you are still a child." Both granny and grandchild laughed at their emotional talks.

"Go get a bowl and start plucking those fruits and vegetables" Ma Lucy ordered.

"One of the reasons this place is like hell..." Gianna mumbled. Ma Lucy slapped her back again "What did you say?" Rubbing her pained back,she replied quickly "Nothing..."

"Matthew!" Ma Victoria screamed on seeing her grandson. She got up and pulled him into a tight hug. "How have you been grandma?" Matthew asked concerningly. "Very well grandson. You are now grown,I couldn't recognize you at first" Ma Victoria said. "Welcome uncle.." A young, girlish and angelic voice said. Matthew looked at where the statement came from and he was stunned. The girl seemed very pretty and polite. Matthew thought it was part of his fantasy stuffs not until the girl took his bags upstairs gently.

Matthew's eyes followed the girl as she walked up the stairs, he was wondering while a girl was his grandparents' home. Grandma is not the type to hire housemaids cause' she believes she can do everything a maid would do. So seeing a girl here is a mystery to him. Ma Victoria didn't notice that Matthew was staring at the girl, she herself was busy admiring her grown up grandson's features.

"Matthew." Matthew heard a deep, firm call. A voice that sounded like his dad's own, he already knew it was his grandfather, he turned around and saw the old man. He looked so much like his( Matthew) father. "How have you been son?" Pa Vincent asked. "I've been fine, I misses you guys.." Matthew said and pulled both grandparents into a group hug.

"What about Anna? How is she? Is she not supposed to be here?" Ma Victoria threw questions at Matthew. Sinking into a couch, Matthew said "She must be in Alaska by now." "Oh really?" Ma Victoria clutched her heart and said sadly "I miss her so so so..." "Cut it grandma!" Matthew shouted. Ma Victoria looked confused and Matthew patted her back saying, "Don't worry, I'm here for you, you don't have to stress out Okay?" Soothingly, Ma Victoria nodded her head.

"Where is that lazy bone called Matthew!" Grandma Victoria's voice went across the whole house. But the lazy bone still wasn't out. Grandma Victoria opened the door to his room and found him doing - only - God - knows on his phone with earphones plugged into his ears. He didn't even notice her. Angrily, Grandma Victoria walked up to where he sat and slapped his back very hard. "Ah!" Matthew let out a piercing sound, it was really painful. He removed the earphone and off his phone. "Grandma what is it?.,"

"You're asking me what it is? Now move to kitchen!" Grandma Victoria ordered. "Why should I? There's a maid to do everything for you so why should I go to the kitchen" Matthew replied. "You're talking back at me?!" Grandma Victoria gave him a knock on the head. "And who's the maid? Oh,you're calling Mila a maid? She's not a maid okay!" She said and dragged him to the kitchen, by pulling his ears. As they were about to enter the kitchen, Matthew screamed NO(s) in his mind and tried getting loose out of his grandma's grip but suddenly she pushed him into the kitchen and locked the door after she had entered too. Mila was about to burst but she tried hard not to.

Embarrassed, he composed himself and faced his grandmother and said "What am I suppose to do now?." "Cook!." Grandma Victoria said simply. Gosh...this is trouble for Matthew, he's gonna stay in this hell for the next one month.

'Anyone seen that drone?." Crazy dog asked when he entered Gianna's office.

"Drone..Drone? What drone?" One of the two junior medical practitioners said. He knew who the doctor was referring to but he decided to act dumb.

"Stop been dumb okay! I'm talking about Anna" Crazy dog said. "Oh..." The junior practitioner said. "She took a leave sir" Nurse Maya said. "What?! She..she..she took a leave without my consent? What imprudence!." He was really worked up. He became more angrier because none of his students even mentioned it to him,he looked at everyone in the room resentfully and barged out of the office, leaving the door opened.

"You drone! How dare you take a leave without my consent? What have you done for the year that made you decide to take a leave? Huh!." Doctor Jose barked angrily on the phone. Gianna just kept calm and listened to his nagging. After he became calm, all she said was "I'm sorry master.."

"If you are truly sorry,get here this moment!" Doctor Jose commanded.

"I'd like to pay for thus" A patron said as she dropped a bottle of yoghurt and some candies. "Excuse me master,i'm busy right now..bye" Gianna said and hung the call immediately. "You drone!!!!!!" Doctor Jose yelled angrily and tried calming himself down.

Gianna attended to the patron and before the patron left, she said to Gianna with a serious face "You're so pretty" "Thanks" Gianna replied, smiling broadly. As the patron stepped out of the store, some noises arose from a direction "There! That's the bitch! Get her!." Gianna looked outside and saw the patron hurrying into her car. After the patron zoomed away, a van full of thugs also drove past,going after the patron's car. Gianna's eyes followed them till the vehicles were out of sight. She wondered what the customer had to do with those thugs. The customer looked gentle and calm. Doctor Jose's words suddenly screamed in her head "DO NOT JUDGE A PATIENT'S AILMENT BY JUST THE LOOKS!" It was one of the things Doctor Jose said to her and other students when they just got admitted to the university hospital. Ughhh! Why is sh evening thinking about that evil man?.

30 minutes later, Gianna didn't see any trace of the patron nor the hoodlums. She was really worried. What if she has been killed or....raped!. A young lady and a group of drunk, hefty thugs? She's definitely going to be killed. Leaving the store opened, Gianna left to go in search of the patron. Everywhere was dead silent. She got to a place as she walked down the street where there were abandoned buildings. Wow! She really came this far cause' of a stranger. She suddenly heard voices from a particular building and traced it.

She finally located the place. It's an abandoned factory. Gianna tiptoed close to the building and the sounds became more clear. She peeped through a window and searched the place with her eyes, there was no one there. She moved over to the second window and peeped through. Luckily, they were there. Gianna could see the girl sitting on floor with hands and legs tied. The thugs were also there. There were slight bruises on her cheeks,she must have been hit very hard. The guys were spitting words put resentfully at her but she didn't move. She wasn't exhibiting the pain and the guys got annoyed the more - the fact that she was calm and not pained.

Gianna his herself and thought of what to do. She switched on her phone and tapped an application straightaway. It was a siren app. She downloaded it recently to learn the hospital emergency codes and fortunately, the police sire was part of the sounds there. She tapped on it and a deafening alarm was heard. 'Whao! Whao! Whao!'. When the guys heard the sound, they all ran away, thinking it was the police. As soon as they left, Gianna put off the siren and walked into the building cautiously.

"Fools.." Skylar said. She knew there weren't police around. Someone must have put it up. She wondered who it was. Gianna entered the building and went to where Skylar was tied up. She untied her and helped her get up. "Hey,you pulled that stunt right? You're very smart!" Skylar said. Surprised, Gianna asked "How did you know?" Skylar left her question unanswered and said "By the way, why did you come here? you could have been hurt." "Well...I was worried" Gianna replied. "Why worry? I'm Skylar!!" Skylar bragged.

'Then why didn't save yourself from them?' Gianna thought. They left the building and Skylar wanted to give Gianna a ride back yo the store. When they settled in the car,Skylar tried igniting the car but it wasn't giving in.

They ended up walking back. They chatted on their way back trying to each other more. Gianna even forgot to ask why those thugs wanted to hurt her. When they got to the store, Ma Lucy was already there. She was in front of the store, waiting for Gia. When she saw her granddaughter walking towards the store, she yelled "You brat, where have you been? You left the store opened and went out?". Gianna didn't expect her to be back by then and she knew she was in for it now. " Granny,when did you get back?"

"And now you're replying me with a question! Come here!" Ma Lucy grabbed a mop stick and made attempt to hit Gia with it. "Granny,hold in, let me explain" Gianna shouted as she ran around to dodge her Granny's swings.

Skylar didn't know what to do as she stared at the agile and active grandma who was ready to swing the mop stick at her new friend. She decided to put on an act "Hi granny.." She said politely with a smile. That was when Ma Lucy noticed her "Who are you?."

"Oh,she-" Gianna wanted to introduce Skylar but her grandmother cut her off "-You went out together right?" Ma Lucy didn't wait for a reply and she started hitting Skylar. The two ladies hovered around. "Grandma stop! She's innocent" Gia shouted to her grandma's hearing. Ma Lucy noticed the slight bruises on Skylar's face and she suddenly cooed down. "Are you okay? why is your face so red?" Ma Lucy said out of concern. Skylar was stunned 'What a weird granny'.

"Brother, it's time for" Mila said as she entered Matthew's room but got shocked of what she saw. The room was totally upside down. There was clothes,shoes and..and..and under wears on the floor Mila could remember how neat the room was the day Matthew came but now,this!?. Matthew was sleeping peacefully in bed amidst the state of disorder. Mila sighed and started picking up the clothes one by one and arranged them.

Her eyes caught an underwear and she picked it up. She stared at it for while and she suddenly heard a voice which made her startled. "What the heck are you doing with that?" Matthew yelled. Mila quickly adjusted herself and smiled broadly "The room was disordered so I decided to order it." Her angelic voice said.

Matthew was really embarrassed,why should his briefs be in her hands...gosh.

He almost got out of the duvet when he remembered he had only briefs on,no singlets,no pants.. Frustrated,he said to her "You know what? Just leave.."

"Brother but..." Mila wanted to talk but Matthew cut her off immediately "No buts, just leave!". After Mila left and closed the door behind her, Matthew buried his face in his pillow and yelled 'WHY!!". Startled once again by the noise, Mila opened the door to his room and popped her head in "Are you okay brother?" Matthew lifted his head and just nodded his head,he was trying hard not to yell at her. "Okay,breakfast is ready.." She said and smiled again before closing the door.

"Do you mind coming with me to Dylan's oncoming live concert?" Skylar asked Gianna who was munching on her sugared donuts. "Dylan? Who's that?".

"You're kidding right? I mean, who on earth doesn't know Dylan Campbell." Skylar said. Gianna's facial expression honestly showed that she knew no Dylan and Skylar was surprised "You're serious? You really don't know him?" Skylar paused for a while and resumed "Okay,you don't know Dylan, acceptable but you know BTS right?" Skylar asked hoping she would say yes.

"Basic Technology Science?" Gianna replied. "Holy Shit! What are you saying? Basic what? I'm talking about Bangtan Soyeondan, Bangtan boys!" Skylar yelled that she got the attention of other people in the restaurant. "Calm down.." Gianna cooed when she noticed that people were staring. Skylar wasn't ready to compose or adjust herself 'cause of some damn onlookers, this case in front of her more of her concern.

"What about Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish,Tatiana?" Skylar asked and Gianna shook her head. Skylar suddenly grabbed Gianna's wrists and said with pitiful expression "Anna, you've missed a real lot..Don't you watch TVs,you don't follow idols on stargram, Twitter,Facebook?"

"I'm on none of those.." Gianna replied with an innocent face. Skylar stared into her eyes for some seconds and then said "You know what? Bring your phone, just bring it.." Gianna gave her the phone and she (Skylar) started operating on it. Gianna wondered what she was doing. After about 20 minutes, Skylar returned the phone to it's owner and Gianna couldn't just lay hands on what Skylar did on her phone.

Not so long, Gianna left the restaurant after her granny called her to come home. As soon as she left, the television in the restaurant suddenly put up 'Dynamite' MV - by BTS. "Arghh..if only she waited a little bit.." Skylar groaned.

"Axel! Axel!" Mrs Wyatt yelled from up stairs. Wondering why she was yelling his name, Axel went to the end of the stairs to meet his mum. As soon as he got to her, he received a hit hit on the face, he got slapped and his face reddened immediately. Confused and surprised, he faced her to ask her what he had done, but even before he asked the answer was showed to his face. His heart skipped a beat when he saw it. Then his mother spoke "What is this damn thing doing in your room?" "Mum..." "You've failed to listen to I and your father, that Gianna of a girl will do you no good. She's just an gold digger who wants our wealth. But Zoe? She is a very good and nice girl from a prestigious family, date her! I don't want any damn thing that belongs to her in any part of this house, understood?" "Yes mum." Axel replied. "Good!" She said and threw the glass framed picture on the floor,making it break into pieces and then walked out.

"Are you okay?" Mrs Adams asked on the other line of the phone. "I'm okay mum,you don't need to worry about me, I'm good here." "Alright princess, hold on, have you heard from Mateo?" Mrs Adams asked. "Not at all, he didn't call you?" Gianna asked. "He didn't." That was just him, too grumpy. "That boy is just too self centered, he couldn't even call to let us know about his a safe landing,such a very rude and grumpy boy." Mr Admas shouted. "Calm down dad, I'm sure something is up with him, maybe grandma is overworking him, I'll call him." Gianna said in a very calm voice. "Always defending him even when he is not nice..." Mr Adams murmured and Gianna smiled.

"Hey you! Why haven't you put a call through to mum and Dad?" Gianna asked as soon as Mateo accepted the call. "Why? I just decided not to, it's a punishment for sending me to the earth - hell" Mateo replied. "It's the same here, I almost got beaten up by granny yesterday" Gianna said and Mateo laughed heartily. "Then what? Don't tell me you Werner beaten, sshhh, she should have beaten the heck outta ya ass.." Mateo said. "Listen to the devil's son..." She said. "Well, mine is more worse, you won't believe I got detoritated by grandma in front of some girl" Mateo said. "Who? Mila?" Gianna asked. Surprised, Mateo asked " How did you?..." "Well, I just do, so do you have a crush on her?" She asked. "No way! Why would I have a crush on a girl" Mateo denied clumsily and insincerely.

"Common, you have a crush on her, I know you too well" Gianna persisted. "I don't!!" Mateo nearly screamed and Gianna made fun of him. He adjusted himself and cleared his throat awkwardly then said "I don't have a crush on her okay? Good night!" Then he hung up the phone and took a deep breath. He heard a knock suddenly and he got nervous,he knew it was Mila and right now the room was in a state of disorder so he decided to arrange the room quickly and make everything was in place before he allowed her in. As he was arranging, she got impatient and opened the door wide. When he saw rye figure that walked in,he was very fazed and his shoulders dropped. Disappointed and frustrated, he fell to his bed and ignored her. "You always shout of privacy and I stood there for more than three minutes,all in the name of respecting a brat's privacy. Well, get ready, you're going with me to the grocery store tomorrow. Ma Victoria said. " What? Me? Follow you to the store? Why?" "To go shopping of course, Mila needs rest so she'll be home all day long, you are her replacement." "But-" "-No buts, it's been decided, good night." She said and put out the room lights before leaving. "I never said to pit out the lights!." Mateo screamed and was burning with rage till sleep swept through his body.

Gianna decided to check up medical news in her phone and when she switched on the mobile data, hundreds of notifications started rushing in.

The notification sound kept repeating itself every half second. She wondered why this notifications where coming when she realised they weren't even anything that has to do with medical stuffs.

She decided to check what the notifications were all about and she found out that accounts has been created under her name on twitter,Instagram and tiktok.

How did this happen? She remembered Skylar taking her phone and doing things on it, so this is it!

Notifications kept rushing in with catchy tags and Gianna decided to look them up before she went to bed.

"Please, Axel please, don't leave. I promise to do well, please.." Gianna said as hot tears streamed down her face. Flashes of light kept repeating as people took pictures and videos of her continuously.

Axel was getting riled up by the show Gianna was putting up, he trued to walk away and she fell to her knees. The people gasped and murmured among themselves - "She's seriously kneeling for him?" " So disgusting! " "I'll never do that..." and many more. Gianna ignored the comments and held Axel's leg "Please don't go, I'll do anything you want, I promise..." Axel stopped for a while and crouched to her level "You'll do anything I want?' " He asked and she nodded. "Anything?" he asked again and she nodded nervously. "Wait,is this how you begged him to sleep with you?" He asked sarcastically. "Axel I never..."

"Forget it, I'll ask since you promised to do anything..you know what, Leave me alone." He said icily and she held him tight "Please..." Axel kicked her hand away and left while she remained on the cold floor,outside in the cold weather and surrounded by a cold and icy crowd.

"So heartless.." The people murmured

Suddenly, Gianna woke up. It was here again! it's barely midnight and the night is already mare. Gianna had cried from the dream into the real world and she broke into tears again. She cried throughout the whole night and didn't get to sleep a wink till morning.
