Alex remembered her long lost friend, Gabrielle. They were best friends in middle school and had been friends for 5 years. They would braid each other's hair, paint each other's nails, do each other's make up an have all sorts of fun.
Alex had really missed her but lost contact with her and hadn't been able to communicate with her for almost 3 months.
"I've missed you too. Can you come over?" Alex said. "Sure, no problem" Gabbie said as she politely ended the call.
'Damn it! Why did I call her over now?' she could only face palm herself and remember how Gabbie took the only thing she found precious in middle school, her boyfriend, Denzel.
Denzel was a nice guy, stood about 6 feet and had a very cute smile. Alex found a lot of charm in him and they started dating.
Denzel would get her a flower for each of her birthdays and she kept all of them in a white vase on the table in her room. It was very precious to her since she knew she wouldn't see him anymore. He left the city and relocated to Newark, home of opportunity. Those flowers were colorful and meant alot to her.
'Ding Dong' the doorbell rang. "Oh! She's here!" Alex said and dashed to the door. "Gabbie!" Alex said as she hugged her with ecstatic eyes.
'Goddamit! She's taller now." Alex face palmed within herself and instantly regretted calling Gabbie over but she had no choice as she was lonely and her twin sister had gone out for the day.
"How's Alexi?" she asked as she took a seat and made herself comfy in the cozy and furry pink couch. "She's fine. She's out with her friend" Alex replied and stood up to grab the TV remote.
She tuned to the news channel and received bad news, 'Mother alleged for attempted murderer and assassin of more than 3 families'. Alex was eager to see the face of the person being accused of such crime. And when a picture of her mother popped up on the screen, Alex screamed, "Ahh!....". 'I can't believe this is what she's been doing' she said within herself.
