Chapter 4 - Offer.

What do you want...I thought I made it clear don't..."

Mia pushed the door back knocking on Lalya ex ex-boyfriend.

"Don't yell we are here for her other stuff" Mia said as they walked in.

He stood back not saying a word, Lalya smiled seeing his scared face. He was always scared of her friend.

Mia came out of the bedroom with a frown.

"Where are her things?" she asked.

He gulped.

"I won't repeat myself," she said.

"I threw them all out if you want them to go in the trash," he said.

"Huh...you did what?" Mia moved ready to attack but Lalya stopped her.

"It's alright we can go get them " she said.

"But..." Mia gritted her teeth.

"But nothing Mia... let's go " Lalya grabbed her hand and dragged her away.

.....

A loud noise was coming from the trash can outside, and Mia and Layla trying to find her things.

"I can't believe that guy, he could send them but threw them away " Mia yelled.

"Let it be, ....oh I found my heels " she giggled holding it up.

Mia sighed.

"Keep going let me go get something we can collect these in" said Mia.

Lalya nodded and went back to searching as her friend left.

Her head buried deep into the can she kept looking.

.....

"Half of the residents have left already. The few still here at all clearing out this month" Gale said.

Leoric nodded his eyes gazing out the car window.

He frowned, "Stop the car "

The car stopped and Gale turned to him.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's her," he said.

Gale followed his line of sight to see a small figure deep in trash cans.

"Ahhh....her? " he muttered.

Leoric nodded getting out of the car. Gale and the driver watched him walk over to where she was.

A lot of things were scattered around her and the trash cans.

He didn't say anything but watched as her hand appeared with something that looked like a skirt.

Her head popped out too.

"Mia I got most of them " she giggled.

His eyes set on her face, covered in different colours, her hair dishevelled but her eyes were shining with a smile on her face.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

She blinked stumbling back but he grabbed her hand and she bounced back right into his chest.

She looked up at him and noticed he was on her.

"Are you okay?"

She nodded.

"What are you doing then?" he asked.

"Oh...ahh" she slowly pulled away from his arms looking away.

"Her crazy boyfriend threw her stuff in the trash " a voice sounded behind them.

It was Mia.

"Your boyfriend?" he said.

"Ex...boyfriend " Mia corrected passing a bag to Lalya.

Lalya collected all her stuff and placed them inside.

Gale walked over waving at the two women.

"So he threw you out?" he asked.

Lalya nodded.

"Is that why you were sleeping in the office that day?"

She nodded again.

"What are you two doing here anyway " Mia changed the topic.

"He wanted to see this place before it's demolished " Gale responded.

"Huh? It's going to be demolished?" Lalya asked.

Leoric nodded.

"Ohh...but the ".

"They have been paid and will leave before the month ends, " Gale said.

"Ohh..." Lalya let out.

Mia frowned.

"Is that why he threw you out...he didn't want to share the money with you "

"Ahh....". Layla blinked.

"Your ex-boyfriend is one mean person " Gale commented.

Mia agreed with him.

"Do you have a place to stay?" he asked.

Before she could answer Mia did.

"No, she stayed over at my place but is leaving today. My parents are coming over " lied Mia.

"They are? I didn't know they..." Mia stopped Layla from speaking.

"Don't worry we will find a place for you before night falls " she said.

Leoric spoke.

"Stay with me"

"Huh?! the other three yelled
