Even with tears in your eyes you will always be beautiful.

Hayley woke up late and she knew her mother would shout at her for that, so she didn't bother doing anything else. she woke up took a shower and luckily she had packed her clothes the night before so she was safe.
Hayley!!! get down here right now, her mother shouted. I'm coming mama. Hayley replied. I know I'm late but either way I'm leaving right I'm gonna be ok, its go na be fyn, she'll shout at you and you'll just be quite ok, Hayley said to herself.
Once she was down she could only grab a muffin and into the car she went. Bye Hayley, said Crystie, Hayley's youngest sister. everyone else said good bye as Hayley was getting in the car and could barely reply. Her mother then said to her in a strict but low tone, don't mess this up ok, getting all that money wasn't easy I don't have a money tree in our garden ok, and done get there and lose focus behave. These words weren't new in Hayley's ears but they still hurt. but of course she wasn't gonna show it. Especially not infront of her mother.
Hayley was a light skinned 17 year old who came from a middle class family. She had to go abroad to study and earn money to help her mom back home. She was tall she had a few friends although she never left the house because her mom wouldn't let her. Her best friend Ashlyn was like her light in the darkness. Ashlyn got her through her toughest days especially the days her and her dad were fighting and with all the words people said behind Hayley's back left Hayley broken and lost.
The opportunity to go abroad hurt Ashlyn deeply but she knew that it would be good for her friend to leave the place they were in especially with all that was going on around she couldn't let her friend break more.
Ashlyn was a chocolate brown girl who either covered her head with a veil or plaited braids. Her parents didn't stop her from going anywhere she pleased, but her friendship with Hayley made her enjoy staying home. At their age girls would have boyfriends and would go out for plots and dates. But these two girls just stayed home chatting and eating.
As soon as Hayley reached the airport she called Ashlyn so her crazy friend wouldn't worry, but before she dialed her friends number, she felt a tight hug from behind her with light sobs. Hayley turned around to see who was hugging her, she was surprised to see Ashlyn hugging her. Hayley hated hugs but this time she hugged her friend right back and told her she would call her everyday and text her before doing anything and share every moment.
I'm really going to miss you bestie, said Ashlyn in between sobs. Stop crying Ashlyn, your gonna chase the boys away with your tears, Hayley said to her friend in an attempt to make her laugh. I don't care, and anyway boys love a damsel in distress, Ashlyn told her friend while wiping her tears. Ok, Now wat, said Hayley. Well I was going to sit at home and look at all our pictures together although we only have about three, the two friends laughed. Just call me Hayley ok, and if anything ever hurts you I'm one call away don't overthink anything when it comes to you I will leave anything behind, ok your my bestie, Ashlyn assured Hayley. Bye Ashlyn take care, I love you, Hayley said while walking away.
Once the plane landed in Carlifornia Hayley got out and sat waiting for her older sister to call her and tell her she had arrived. She sat for about 30 minutes before her phone rang.
"Hello..."
"Hy Kim....."
"Hayley come outside I'm waiting for you, hurry up I have a night shift "
the call was disconnected before Hayley could reply.
Running outside Hayley barely noticed that she had left her cross bag behind. Hey, good to see you, put your things in the trunk and let's go, said Kim. Um.....Hayley where's your phone...Oh God!!!!!! I must have left it in my seat, I'll run back real quick and get it, Hayley said while running back inside.
Ohhh thank God my back it still here, Hayley said while running back outside. She was still running before she bumped into a tall light skinned man who looked like he was in his mid twenties. He was wearing a black suit and black shades, of Hayley was with her best friend Ashlyn she would be smiling at Ashlyn's reaction because this man was handsome. But this girl had to get outside as soon as possible, she quickly apologised to this man and kept on running towards the door.
Boss, I told you we should have waited a few minutes for your private jet, said one of his bodyguards. Who was that girl was the only sentence that came out of his mouth....
