Ava's point of view
This is a huge thank you to all my amazing supporters,you have no idea how much this means to me and please keep on showing some love for this book.Enjoy.
Arriving at the entrance of our apartment building I parked the car,locking it before running into the building.Once I reached our floor I walked towards the door,hoping just hoping that I'll hear music coming from the apartment.My disappointment was clearly visible to anyone passing by.Slowly putting my key into the key hole I turned it throwing the apartment door open.The apartment look fine so far but when I walked into the living room my jaw dropped.The living room had clearly been trashed.The couch,walls and furniture looked like they had claw marks.It looked like wild animals had trashed this place.
Quickly walking into my bedroom I grabbed my suitcases throwing them all open and stuffing everything inside.I didn't even care that my shoes were with my hair brushes as long as everything fit.Running into the bathroom I quickly grabbed my face clothes and walked back into the bedroom and threw them into my toiletry bag then stuffed it into my suitcases.Zipping them all up I pulled the to the apartment's passage way when I noticed a trail of old dried up blood.That is new,I'm very certain because everything is new in this apartment.
Suddenly the front door closing was heard.I gasped a stupid move from my side,as fear took over my body.Suddenly a familiar voice called out my name which I recognised as Mckenzie.Trying to sound calm I called out to her very softly.
"Over here."
Immediately a curvy blonde dressed in tight pink exercising shorts and white sports bra appeared with sweat dripping down her forehead,did she follow me here.
"Hey are you okay."
Puzzled I replied.
"Yes why wouldn't I be."
That seemed to catch her off guard before she composed herself and replied.
"Sorry its just the way I saw you running into the building,you looked terrified and scared."
She saw me running into the building?
"Where you following me."
This time she didn't stutter once or appear nervous.
"No I wasn't,I was jogging around the block when I saw you running into the building."
I muttered okay after excepting her answer but not long she had noticed what I didn't want her to see.
"Is that blood?"
"Uuum yes."
"What happened here and where is your roommate."
Shit what do I say now.
"Uuum well you see.."
"Ava look."
Grabbing my hand,I turned around to look at her already dreading what was coming next.
"I know that you and I are not close but you can open up to me and tell me what is going on.You can trust me okay."
Hesitating I looked at her but changed my mind.I haven't even known her for that long and she excepts me to open up to her already.She'll think I'm mad with everything that I have seen.Oh maybe I can tell on that annoying brat Sierra but I can't risk revealing the others.
"My friend Sophie ran away with her boyfriend,that is all that I know."
Seeing the disappointed look on her face made me feel guilty but she had to understand,opening up to a stranger is not that easy at all.
'Let's get your bags downstairs."
Nodding my head I let her grab some of my bags whilst I took the remaining three and made our way out the door.Locking our apartment door for the last time I sighed and walked off,joining Mckenzie in the elevator.I was slightly taken back when I saw her holding out her hand but understood when I saw her glancing at my apartment keys.Handing them over guilt over my whole body when I realised that I had taken shut a huge decision without her.
"Don't worry I'll take care of everything."
"Will I have to pay for damages."
"That will depend I'll talk to my boss then I'll get back at you."
I hope I won't be charged anything.The last thing that I need is walking around with debt following me.I barely have anything in my bank account and South African rands are like pennies over here.Once I heard the elevator dinge we walked out,with me leading the way to my ride.I heard a gasp behind me until I realised that she was looking at me with shock and worry in her eyes.What's her deal.
"Is that yours."
Shit!Think of a lie fast.
"Technically yes,I just need to put it under my name then it's officially mine."
"But don't you need a green card to do that."
"Yes and I do have one."
She muttered okay with an unsure look on her face whilst walking away and loading my bags into the car.That was a really close one.Hoping into the car u started it and sped out of the following the GPS to the hair salon.
"Where are we going now."
Confused I asked.
"We?"
"Yes look,Ava I know that you don't trust me but what you need right now is a friend and I am willing to be that for you so please just let me in."
Sighing I nodded and informed her that we were heading to the Black Chick salon a few blocks away so I could get my nails done.
"That's so cool my favourite salon is not far from there actually maybe I can go there and get my hair and nails done too."
"Cool do you need me to drop you off or you can manage."
"I'll manage from were you are stopping."
Within a few minutes the Black Chick sign appeared and I could not contain my excitement.Finally I'm getting my hair done,it's about time.Parking the car and switching it off we both got out locking it and parting ways.Once I entered the smell of nail polish from one section hit my nostrils and on the other side washed hair that was being dried could be smelt.Walking to the front desk I greeted the guy there and informed him that I'm here to get my hair and nails done.Once placed on a comfortable black chair a girl called Angela appeared and introduced herself as my hair dresser,then another appeared who would be doing my finger nails and toenails.
After informing them that I wanted straight up with black hair piece with blue tips,midnight blue short claw nails and just a manicure on my toenails they nodded and got to work.Anybody who was paying close attention to me could see that the entire time the hair dresser was doing my hair I was cringing and clashing my teeth together,especially when she was doing my back and middle hair.Otherwise they kept on making conversations and I would interact when possible.
A few hours later Mckenzie walked in looking amazing with her new glossy hair and dark violet nails.Once my hair and nails where completed at around midday I thank everyone with their job well done but then the door bell rang signalling a customer walking in but my jaw dropped when the last person that I expected to see came into view.
"Rellik?"
A smirk appeared on his face as he lowered his sunglasses.
"Hello darling."
