Chapter 8

• No happy endings
• Marie guided me to another room which was on the second floor. She took my wet dress from me and handed me a dark green floral print gown. The dress was short and simple.
• It felt like the dress was made for me because of how good it looked on me.
• Marie was also surprised that the dress fitted me perfectly.
• At first I didn't wanted to take the dress from her thinking the dress was owned by one of Tristan's bed mate but Marie refused, saying it the dress was for Tristan's elder sister who was away and was at college.
• I was shocked when I heard this news. I never knew that dashing boy had a sister.
• Well, it's not like I was close to him to know this.
• Marie assured me that my cloth will be properly washed and dried before leaving.
• Right now, I was seated in a plump love couch in one of the living rooms around together with the other two delinquents and the scene in front of me was really shocking.
• Tristan and Nikki were both on a three-sitter couch and Nikki had her head on Tristan's lap.
• Is Tristan F*cking her too?
• Well, why aren't I surprised. Two delinquents screwing each other is not a new thing.
• I scoffed at the horrific sight and sluggishly brought out my pink jotter from my backpack.
• "So...err what should we work on?" I went down to business pushing the awkward scene in front of me aside.
• "Adunno bug face. Do you have any idea?" Nikki asked while roughly chewing on a gum.
• The sounds coming out of her mouth was not helping me think. It was so disturbing.
• "Could you please stop doing that? And my name is Shannon thank you" I grumbled.
• She snorted and continued with the annoying thing.
• Oh I really want to smack her black coloured lips with my jotter so bad.
• So f*cking bad!.
• "Nikki stop doing that and let book girl think "
• That was f*cking Tristan.
• Will someone tell these kids that I have a name and it is Shannon!!.
• S.H.A.N.N.O.N
• Shannon!!!.
• Nikki raised her head a bit to take a quick glance at me before bursting out.
• "Did you just say book girl??" She asked her stupid partner who was also now staring at me with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
• I don't think I can last long with these two. I wish I could swap places with Mae. At least I get to see more of Rick and that guy John.
• That is certainly better than staying in a room with two bloody demons.
• "Can we just start please?" I let out, feeling very frustrated about this whole thing.
• Ignoring them will be the best option if I still want to go on with this project.
• Yes, that is the only solution.
• "What do you have in mind?"
• Tristan seemed to understand how frustrated I was.
• I let out a sigh and moistened my dry lips. Thank God the heater was on. I really don't want to catch a cold.
• Falling sick now will be the last thing I have in mind now.
• "Well I think I do have an idea. It's a story I was working on so I guess we should use it instead" I told them. Well mainly Tristan since he was the only one paying attention.
• Nikki was busy with her phone.
• "Let's hear it then"
• Oh! So she is also being attentive. Well, that's a good one.
• "Okay so this is about two young lovers that..."
• "Boo!!... I don't want no Cinderella tale" Nikki protested with her right thumb down.
• "You didn't let me finish " I scoffed at her. I was greatly offended.
• "Fine!" She mumbled and I'm sure she must have rolled her eyes.
• I heaved in a deep breath before puffing out.
• "Like I said it is about two young lovers who were deeply in love with each other. However, they were in love but they don't meet up when others were around... "
• "Hmmm...secret love. Nice "
• I face palmed myself. This girl is so annoying. Can she just shut up?!!.
• I sighed and then continued,
• "The girl's father never liked the boy because both families were you know... Enemies. One day, someone brought a marriage proposal to her father and he was delighted. He was really happy because he had always wished this suitor to be with his daughter..."
• I started filling them every details of the story. How the girl opposed her father and threatened to kill herself if he doesn't stop the marriage from happening. Her father was furious at this. He asked the servants to lock her up which they did.
• Her lover couldn't see her anymore because of this. He also had no idea that she was about to get married.
• Everyday, he waited for her in the usual spot but she didn't come. He also had something important to tell her, which was about him leaving the town to a far away land for some business work.
• Things got bad, the girl was forced to marry her suitor and she wasn't able to see her lover anymore since he had already left the town.
• When she came to know of this, it was already to late. She was married and her so called lover has travelled.
• She also left her town since her husband was given a job in another town. So she had to leave together with him to their new home.
• Two years later she ran into her old lover when she and her husband went for an engagement party.
• She also found out that her old lover was the one doing the engagement. He was engage to another lady.
• They started seeing each other again. Though she warned her old lover not to come see her again but he was adamant. He was still in love with her, not caring if she was married and if he was engaged. He never liked his fiancee anyways. He was forced to marry her.
• Unfortunately, one day, they were both caught red handed by the girl's husband. He was furious, his wife was having an affair with another man in his own house. The girl had to send her old lover away because she was afraid. They were both caught on the act
• Her husband sba was blinded by rage and that made him commit an awful crime. He killed the girl and later killed himself since he didn't wanted to face the law.
• The girl's lover heard the news and was angry. He was furious and pained but he couldn't do anything, he still had to marry his fiancee at the end.
• "So that's it..." I blew out air from my mouth. I was so exhausted.
• "I definitely like this story "
• Tristan nodded his head in agreement.
• "Well I don't like happy endings" I shrugged and placed my jotter back into my bag.
• Happy endings are basically not my thing.
• (Like she knew she wouldn't get an happy ending too. *Sigh*)
