"Believe me when I say that I am not joking this time around, missy. Pay my rent or pack up ".Another day starting with insults from her landlady . Sophie took a deep breath after Miss Noah was done .
"I promise, ma'am. I will pay once I get paid "
"Once you get paid?! I want my money now, now Sophie else am going to sue you and sack you",she finished and turned her back on her before whispering .
"Gawd! I don't know what kind of rabid dog bit you that you are this lazy. No wonder you were kicked off from the military. Stupid thing" she finished and Sophie had a flaming expression on her face. Miss Noah had triggered something she shouldn't have triggered. In a snap, Sophie sped towards her , grabbed her by the back of her neck and slammed her towards the wall of the building.
"I was never kicked off , you as*hole" she glinted her teeth then turned her around and without allowing Miss Noah to catch her breath , she slapped her.
"My sister died " she yelled and just as she was about to give another slap to her, Romeo caught her hand. His hold was strong as traids of his jet black hair fell on his face.
"Calm down Soph.Lets go" he pulled her away from a groaning miss Noah who repeated the words.
" You are out... Leave my building. You dirty piece of sh^t ".
Romeo pulled Sophie into her apartment and locked the door behind them . Inside was Lisa who laid on the sofa ,sleeping.
"Are you crazy Sophie . You could have hurt her"
" I wanted to kill her Rome . That woman has been way in my head for so long" Sophie yelled back at Romeo.
"And so what if she's been in your head for a long time. That is not a good reason to beat her up. Couldn't you have tried to control yourself"
" She insulted me. She remarked on my....
"What? Your sister? For God's sake Sophie everyone has lost somebody in their life ..You are not the first one. Stop being so over dramatic always. It's ann_" Romeo couldn't finish his words as a resounding slap from Sophie surfaced on his cheek and he grabbed his cheek ,in alter shock. Sophie's beautiful face was marked with tears and her hand was shaking , obviously in shock of what she did. In their four years of friendship, no matter how hard they argued, Sophie never raised her hand against him.
" Good luck finding another apartment "
"Rome,am so_" Romeo sneered and left the house , slamming the door behind him with a loud thud.The sound woke Lisa up , making Sophie to divert her attention from Romeo to her. Lisa was her life and soul. She is just a five year old but with a intellectual of a teen ager. She's her deceased sister's daughter, her niece. Sophie walked towards, Lisa with steady steps and whispered to her.
"We are moving Lisa, let's pack up"
"Huh?!"
