I heard a knock on my door and I went to open it. When I opened the door, I saw Daniel, my best friend. He is the only person who knows about my debts and me being poor. He is my confidant and someone I like more than a friend.
I let him in and I saw him place a plastic container on top of my table. He sat down and opened the container.
"Sit down Ella"
I sat down beside him and he gave me another plastic container.
"I haven't eaten yet and I know that you also haven't eaten so I brought food for the both of us"
My heart felt warm. I was so happy. I thanked him and started to eat. When we finished eating, I took the plastic containers to the kitchen to wash it. Then I heard a bang on the door. I was shocked. Was it the landlord that came to collect the house rent. I went to the door and asked with a voice that was not calm at all
"Who is there?"
"It's me ...Alexia Dante"
Alexia Dante, the popular international popstar who is greatly sought out for her voice that they say can break glass. What's she doing here.
Then I opened the door and saw her looking so bad. Her hair was disheveled and her makeup was smudged as if she was crying before she came here. This is not the popular and confident international popstar that I know.
"Alexia" I called sounding unsure "are you alright?".
She looked at me and then I noticed that she was shaking so I told her to come in. I closed the door and told her to sit down. I went to the kitchen and brought out a cup of water which she drank quickly. Daniel looked shocked when he saw Alexia. I mean anyone would look shocked when they see Alexia this way.
"So what happened?" I asked starting the conversation.
"Well... We were going to our studio with our bus when some guys came out and pointed guns at house"
I was shocked. Did those men try to kidnap Alexia. I did not know. Then Alexia continued
"They told us to come down from the bus and they drove off with the bus".
"Well we should be thankful that they didn't do anything to you" I said and then Alexia snapped
"No..... You don't understand the equipments, everything was on that bus and I have a tour next week"
I tried to talk when Alexia said
"I am broke. I don't have any money and now I have to cancel the tour"
I felt bad and I wanted to help her but how.
