Deanna woke up and found herself in her room on her be-d. It was morning and all she could remember was the terror of the previous night. Deanna got out from be-d and walked out of her room. The Bruce were having breakfast when she walked into the living room.

“Good morning” Deanna greeted
“You finally decided to wake up” Vickie snarled

“Am sorry” Deanna apologized staring at their food. Her mouth was getting watery and she was really hungry.

“Take your eyes off our food” Vice hurled “There’s no breakfast for you today so get to work”
“But I worked extra time last night for my breakfast today”
“You woke up late so it expired. If I were you, I’d work ha-rd to secure lunch”

Tears trickled down Deanna’s cheeks as she turned and plodded to her room. She took her phone and placed a call to Millicent.

“Hello baby” Millicent called hysterically from the other end.
Deanna wiped her tears but they kept rolling. “Aunt Millicent?!”
“How are you?” Millicent asked
Deanna swallowed ha-rd and said “Am fine” as calm as she could. She didn’t want Millicent to know she was crying.

“How’s Bruce and his family?”
“Fine” Deanna wiped her tears
“How’s working in Sparkles”
Deanna took herl-ips into her mouth to suppress her tears before saying “Cool”

“Have you even your breakfast?”
Deanna waved her head in tears and t©uçhed her grumbling stomach “Yes”

“Alright Then. Take care of yourself”

“You too Aunt Millicent, and Uncle Adam”

“I love you baby”
“I love you aunt Millicent”
Deanna ended the call and tossed the phone aside. She cu-mpped her face in her palms and cried profusely. After crying for a while, Deanna picked up the pieces of her broken heart and went out to her daily chores.

THE PRESIDENTIAL MANSION 🏡

Damon walked into the living room and met Stefan watching the television. He stood behind Stefan, staring at him with a scowl. Stefan’s phone started ringing then he paused the movie he was watching and answered the call.

📱 How are you doing?.. Should I come over?.. How about tomorrow?.. 3pm.. Yes.. Take care of yourself

Stefan ended the call and continued with his movie.

“You should invite me for your d@t£ tomorrow” Damon said from behind.

Stefan whirled around to face him “Damon?!”

“Did I startle you?” Damon asked walking close to Stefan
“Not a bit” Stefan replied truthfully
Damon faked a smile and sat beside Stefan “Let’s pl@ya game on Sunday evening”
“I’d be busy then”
“Your d@t£?”

Stefan chuckled “It’s not a ro-mantic d@t£ like you’re thinking”
“But it’s a d@t£”
“Yeah.. Maybe” Stefan replied with a shrug

“How about Sunday morning?”
“We’ll be at the church”

Damon frowned. He wasn’t going to the church “There’s nothing wrong if we skip church tomorrow”
“Are you serious?”

“Just one Sunday isn’t going to s£nd you to hell if that’s what you’re thinking”

Stefan laughed “How about we pl@ythe game now?”
“No. The game poll is only open on Sundays”

Stefan thought for a while then said “Alright then. We’ll go to the game poll together”
“with your d@t£?”

Stefan rolled his eyes “Deanna isn’t my d@t£”

“That’s her name?” Damon asked pretending not to know
“Yes. And she’s my childhood friend. The one you threw a ball at when you visited”

Damon laughed “Childhood friend is always the term when something else is going on”

“There’s nothing going on” Stefan insisted

“That’s up to you” Damon stated and threw a throw pillow at Stefan “I’ll be out for a while” he added and walked out

Judith met with her friends, Pauline, Judith, and Ingrid in a bar called The Unicorn. They’ve y sat to notes of alcoholic drinks and cigarettes.

“we nee-d money Vickie and you ain’t doing anything about it” Pauline said puffing out smoke from her mouth 🚬

“I know it’s my turn to provide money and am trying my best to raise the money” Vickie said and took a sh0t of whiskey

“Then steal from your husband” Ingrid spat out “I killed my husband to get money when it was my turn. remember?”

“I’ll get the money” Vickie promised
“what about your new maid?” Judith asked Vickie

“She works at Sparkles but she hasn’t been paid yet” Vickie replied
“Then get her another job where she’ll be paid weekly” Pauline suggested

“There’s no vacancy I know of” Vickie said

“My sister who works as a maid for the president’s family said there’s a vacancy there. An old maid left so a p@rt time maid is nee-ded” Ingrid said

“Good. I can fit in” Vickie said
“Not you Vickie. They nee-d someone from the age range of 18-25” Ingrid explained

“But am just 31 and I desperately want to work for the president’s family. Maybe I can steal the president from his wife” Vickie said
“If there was a possibility then u wouldn’t be telling you this. I would’ve applied myself” Ingrid said and smoke on her cigarette
“Then how do we get the job?” Vickie asked

“your maid should work there” Judith replied

“Deanna? She’s alre-ady working at Sparkles High School as a cleaner” Vickie said

“That means more money” Pauline snapped “she’s going to be working as a p@rt time maid for the president when she closes at Sparkles”

“Wouldn’t that be too stressful?” Vickie asked with concern
“She a maid and that’s her duty– to work and get us money” Judith seethed

“you shouldn’t have pity for her” Ingrid added

“Alright” Vickie agreed and filled their glas-ses with drinks. “A toast to more money” she said and they raised their bottles up to sky.

3:13 pm 🕓🕞🕒🕕

Deanna was really famished when she finished with her duties. Vickie hasn’t returned from the bar so there was no food for her. Deanna sat wearily on the floor in the living room waiting for Vickie to return. She sighed Moira approaching her and the image she saw or Moira was jelly roll 🍔.

“Where’s my mommy?” Moira asked Deanna. Deanna huffed loudly and ignored her.

Someone knocked in the door then Moira went to get it. She opened the door and Courtney was standing on the front porch.

“Hi!” Courtney waved with a charming smile

“can I help you?” Moira asked rudely

Courtney’s first instinct told her to pick up the little girl and eat her heart. But on a second thought, she asked calmly “Is Deanna in?”
“I haven’t seen her today” Moira lied

“Moira?! Who’s at the door?” Deanna shouted from inside

“ohhhhhh ohhhhhh. I think she’s inside” Moira stepped aside and Courtney walked in. Deanna glanced at the door as they walked in and her eyes met with Courtney’s.

“Hi Deanna” Courtney greeted faking a smile

“uh.. Hi” Deanna stuttered and got up to her feet

Courtney walked closer to her “I love your hair” she t©uçhed Deanna’s hair

“Have we met before?” Deanna found herself asking
“Right. You don’t known me but I know you” Courtney chuckled “am Courtney”

“Have a seat” Deanna offered
“Thank you” Courtney said and at on the couch

“what do I offer you?” Deanna asked

“water would do”
Deanna got up and walked to the kitchen. she returned shortly with a glas-s of water on a tray.

“Here”

“That’s much” Courtney said taking the glas-s of water “But thanks anyway..I’ll just take a sip”

Courtney brou-ght the cu-p to herl-ips and pretended to take a sip, but instead, she di-pped her index f!nger into it.

“I don’t take much.. I forgot to tell you that” she said and placed the glas-s cu-p on the tray then got up to her feet. “I’ll take my leave now”
Deanna made to carry the tray but Courtney st©pped her. She feared that Deanna would pour out the water and she had poisoned the water with the intention that Deanna would drink it.

“you should see me to the door first” Courtney prompted
“Okay” Deanna dropped the tray and followed Courtney to the door
“I’ll go from here” Courtney st©pped at the front yard “Thanks for your time”

“Bye” Deanna waved and watched Courtney walk out

Deanna returned to the living room. The water she had left on the tray was empty.

Deanna huffed loudly. She had wanted to drink the water.

“Moira?!” she shouted in anger, knowing Moira was the one who drank it. She carried the empty cu-p into the kitchen and returned to the living room.

LATER IN THE NIGHT 🌃

“Mommy?! Mommy?!” Moira cried out running around in the kitchen while Vickie and Deanna prepared dinner

“What’s wrong honey? Am busy, maybe later” Vickie said not paying attention to Moira
“Mommy?!” Moira cried
“Later honey” Vickie pe-cked Moira and carried her out of the kitchen the locked the door.

“you should listen to her” Deanna said

“Moira is full of complaints and I don’t have time for her now” Vickie said and continued with what she was doing.

They finished cooking and Deanna was lucky enough to get a full plate.

“Mom?!” Moira called during the course of the meal

“Eat Moira.. we’ll talk later” Vickie stated and continued eating
Moira dropped her spoon on the table and ran to her room in tears. Deanna frowned at Vickie then left her food and went after Moira.

“Moira?!” Deanna called when she walked into Moira’s room. The light was turned off so the room was dark and quiet. The only sound in the room was Moira’s sobs.

Deanna traced Moira’s sobs to the be-d.

“Moira?! Are you okay?” she asked and t©uçhed Moira

Moira yanked off her hand “Don’t t©uçh me” she sobbe-d
“you can always talk to me” Deanna said

“what do you care?”
“I care Moira.. I do”
“I don’t want to see anyb©dy.. just leave me alone”

“Moira?!”
“Didn’t you hear me? I said you should leave”

Deanna sighed and walked out of the room. She didn’t return to the dinning again. Despite she hadn’t eaten all day, she couldn’t go back to her food. Deanna said un-der her sheets and deemed the light. She couldn’t st©p wondering what was bothering Moira.

She heard a sound in her window like someone was throwing pebbles. Deanna got up and gazed out of the window.

It was Stefan.

“Deanna?!” Stefan called in a whisper

“Stefan?!” Deanna called in shock “What are you doing here?” her voice fell to a whisper
“I nee-ded to see you.. Get out alre-ady”

Deanna proceeded to climb out the window when she remembered the previous night and got scared.
“Are you alright?” Stefan asked noticing her uneasiness
“I can’t come out” Deanna stated
“why?”

“am busy” Deanna lied
“That’s unlike you” Stefan said “Are you avoiding me?”

“No”

“Then come out”
Deanna’s heart started racing “my aunt can’t see us together.. she’ll kick me out”

“coming out to see me for a little while won’t get you kicked out. You’ll return before she even realises you’re gone”

Deanna felt chills all over her and she got more scared.

“I can’t”
“what’s wrong with you Deanna?” Stefan asked getting upset “I c@m£ all the way here to see you and…. ” he trailed off “Never mind. Am sorry for bothering you. I’ll be leaving now”

Deanna watched Stefan as he turned and started walking away. For the first time since their friendsh!p, he was upset and she felt guilty.

He was still her crush and she didn’t want to lose him.

“Wait!” Deanna st©pped him
Stefan paused on his track but didn’t turn to look at her. “Are you coming or not?” he asked pointedly
