Debbi could not find the right words to explain what she felt to her brothers, they knew why she was down so there was no more pretence from her side
"Damien hurt me" Debbi began "but he never told her he had feelings for you" Trevor stated
"Even if you were catching feelings for him, you should have told him, now he has feelings for another girl," Franklin said "but… after everything we had, all the time we spent, do not tell me that he did not feel anything for me" Debbi blurted out in frustration
"Listen, Debbi, he sees you as nothing but his sister and best friend for life, that is all, he does not view you that way, you get?" Franklin asked "seriously?" Debbi asked
"I understand how you feel baby sis, but if you had feelings for him why did you deny it when we do ask you, maybe he was waiting for a clue from you and you showed none then he went ahead to fall in love with some else, he did nothing wrong, only if you agreed you had feelings for him" Trevor stated
"Now what? What do I do? Watch Damien and Aimee become an item?" She asked her siblings, more tears streaming down her face
"Listen, sis, you have to stop crying, you will find another love and love again" Franklin stated
"There is the only person who I can love, and that person is Damien and no one else" Debbi pouted "what do you tend to do? How would you tell Damien about your feelings for him?" Trevor asked
"I would do it my way, just watch and see" Debbi got the confidence out of nowhere "do not try and do anything stupid Debbi" Trevor warned before the duo left her room
Dinner was potato porridge, it was very delicious, their mother was a renowned chef, she was an expert when it comes to cooking so let's say the meal was superb
The following day
"Sweetheart, are you not going to school today?" Lilian asked, peeping through the door "mom, I am not going to school today, I am not strong" Debbi lied, truth be told she did not want to face Damien
"You know you have not told me what happened yesterday" Lilian stressed "mom, I want to be left alone, please, I would go to school tomorrow" Debbi pleaded
"Alright, I would be going to work so you would be the only one at home, your brothers are also going to work," Lilian told her "okay mom" she replied.
The house was eerily calm and boring when everyone left, she cleaned to house up and then had the time to think about her love life
She was so immersed in her thoughts, thinking about strategies on how to reveal her feelings to Damien, it sounded stupid but she was going to do it, Damien was hers and no one else
The doorbell rang, three times in a row and Debbi went to check the door, she opened it and to her shock, Damien and Lucas came into view
"Damien, Lucas" Debbi was dumbstruck, she never expected them to come "can we come in?" Lucas "yes" Debbi managed to reply
"Why were you not in school today? I called your mom since your phone was not going through" Damien asked as he sat alongside Lucas
"Emm, I was just tired, I had a lot to do yesterday" Debbi lied "it's okay, are you coming to school tomorrow?" Lucas asked
"Yes, I am" Debbi replied "that is good then, we would celebrate Aimee and Damien tomorrow, did you know that Damien had insisted that you must be around since you were his best friend" Lucas blurted out
"I would be around tomorrow," Debbi said smiling at them "okay, we would be leaving then, we dropped by to check on you," Damien told her
"Thanks" Debbi smiled "a hug?" Damien asked and Debbi hugged him tightly "best friends for life" Lucas could not help but exclaim
"Thanks for checking up on me," Debbi told him "anything for a friend" Damien smiled and then used the door
The moment they were gone, Debbi fell to the ground, how did her world get to this point? He must be kidding her? That he does not have feelings for her? She had to come up with a plan to ruin his relationship with Aimee and then reveal her feelings to Damien and the perfect day was tomorrow
She was going to tell him her feelings tomorrow and there was no stopping, goodbye to Aimee and Damien. Damien was hers, and no has the right to have him.
An evil smile graced her face for a second before it disappeared, tomorrow was the D~day and she was going to let loose, she was not going to hold anything back, she loved Damien and he must love her back.
He had close to her, he was her childhood sweetheart, and he was hers. No one is going to have him, she did not care who that was but she would fight for him.
Debbi went in and started arranging herself for tomorrow, she would take it as an opportunity to dress very well, she brought out her best dress and then shoes, if she had to do this, she had to look drop gorgeous and there was no more stopping for her, not even her siblings can stop.
Tomorrow is another day, and she was sure for hell that it was going to favour her only if she knew that the universe had other plans for her.
