Chapter 7 - was there still hope?

What the hell is all this Chris ? How can you fucking allow something like this happen,Bassey stormed throwing away the phone that was in his hand .You know little things like this can tarnish your image .Can you explain this ?he asked with his arms crossed.All along you were dating Vera ,Vera the drycleaner".Bassey sounded so irritated as the words came out of his mouth.

Bassey I swear I don't know anything about this ,she is obviously drunk ,she've lost her mind,Chris lied.

No..don't feed me with stupid lies and confusion,she clearly know what she was talking about regardless of if she was in her right state of mind or not .In anything you do be careful,or you would be the reason for the downfall of your band,the reason you boy's will shrink to the bottom,he pointed out.

Have been receiving several calls from different people ,and in no time the reporters might flood here .

So what do we about this ? Chris asked pointing to the video that was playing .We need to act fast so the video doesn't get out to your fans all over the world .I will contact the team ,but note you must be careful in the future,Bassey warned before dismissing him.

Thank you Bassey ,I will keep that in mind.

****

Yo bro…leo called laughing.Why the hell are you laughing,is there something funny ?Chris questioned with a glare .

Man you wild ,you were dating Vera secretly ,and you didn't deem it fit to tell us about your secret scandal.Those slaps were fire ,Leo mocked,imitating Vera actions.

The hell are you saying guys ,How can I date a girl like that ,you know my taste in women are top notch,how would I stoop so low to dating our Dry cleaner.You guys are a joke ,Chris scoffed while taking his seat before his eyes landed on Jericho ,who remained silent and oblivious to what was going on .

She is not bad ,she is unique in her own ways ,Must she be like every other girls before she could be accepted and confirmed to be on our level,Jericho defended.

Nah..Chris wouldn't stoop so low to that level and besides we all know he is dating Selene ,Pisces defended Chris whose expression had changed to a sour look after what Jericho had said.

Yeah you right ,I don't see her around today ,why is she not here yet ?,Leo asked.Could you have come if it were to be you ?Kro asked Leo.Oh my you are right about that ,Leo nodded in agreement .

Thank goodness we have a manager like Bassey ,otherwise you are cooked,Leo said .

It is time for your dance practice ,Cassie who've just entered the room anounced to the boy's.?

Okay guys let's go ,Leo called for the other two boys that were staring at each other ,refusing to break eye contact from one another.

Yeah we should go ..Chris immediately said after breaking eye contact with jericho.

Arrrgh ,this is the third time she refused eating ,a maid complained to the other's in the kitchen.Why is she refusing all the food brought to her ?could it be it wasn't cooked well or perhaps there might be something wrong with the taste ,another maid suggested.come on ,this is the third time and the food is great and also well cooked ,the first maid replied tasting the rejected food to check for any mistake .

The food is perfect,the first maid said again after already tasting the food.

Maybe have her try some other food ingredients aside from this ,another maid suggested.These are the dishes we were ordered to make for her because of her health condition,the first maid replied the other lady.

I don't know what to do I'm frustrated,the first maid who was in charge of the kitchen voiced with a stressed look.

Let me have it taken to her ,someone interrupted.Madam Asha !the maid suddenly pronounced.Here you go madam ,the first maid handed her the food tray .

Knock *knock*

Come in ,Vera said weakly,tired from all the continuous knock she heard today .Hello..I'm Asha and I will be taking care of you from now on ,the woman said.What about the other girl ?the one with a silky hair ,Vera asked the woman .She has other things to tend to ,she replied shortly .Okay ,she said disappointed they put someone else in charged,she was okay with the outspoken girl than the woman in front of her,Her face looked too cold and distant.She wasn't sure she could live a day with the woman assigned to take care of her .

Have you been crying all day? ,she asked placing the tray on the table beside the bed.Nah..I'm not ,she responded quickly,i 've eye problem,Vera lied.

I don't wanna eat those food ,I thought I already made myself clear to the other lady that kept on bringing the food tray ,I don't have appetite too eat ,Vera said looking at the food that was placed on the table .

You should take care of yourself ,You look unkempt and ugly right now ,the woman stated harshly.New cloth are in those closet ,try on whatever sizes your body can fit in,the woman motioned to what seems like another room in the room she was.And you need to shower ,I bet you haven't taken a shower ,because you smell like a dumpsite ,she throwed while partly covering her nose with her left hand .It's been 3 days and you haven't crawled out of your bed,sleeping ,crying ,eating …she counted.

It isn't my fault that I'm stuck in this hell of a room and how was I supposed to know there are cloth's for me to change into ,I've got no clothes other than what I'm putting on right now .How am I also supposed to take a bath ,when I'm this weak ,Vera pointed to the machine that was beside her.

Silly excuses..the woman mocked.That is no way to treat a guest ,Vera corrected her.Guest my foot,she replied with a hollow face .

You should take your meals ,you aren't a baby for me to babysit or look after ,we don't want you getting hospitalized again .

Thanks for your hateful concern Maa'm ,Vera glared at the woman in front of her.

Bringing the food tray closer to her lap ,she handpicked the vegetables in it,placing them at one side's before eating what remained on her plate ,she wasn't a fan of vegetable's .How was she supposed to tell them she doesn't eat vegetables,she thought she might be viewed as picky and problematic to them .

After eating ,she decided to go take a shower, is been 4 days and she hasn't washed her body or teeth,even she was disgusted at herself.

Standing up ,she took the towel that was perfectly folded on the other table .Removing her gown she wrapped herself in the towel.Eeewwwww ,she sounded after smelling her gown,it smelled like rain and dirts ,the old woman was right after all.

Motioning herself to the door which she guessed it was the bathroom door ,she opened it .O-M-G! she mouthed with an astonished face, it was way different from the bathroom she was used to,Ten people could go on a bath at once ,the designs were dope,that even she felt it was unnecessary to adorn a bathing area to an extent like this.it was like a bathroom situated in a five star hotel and she couldn't help to wander about how the outside of the room would look like ,if the room and bathroom she was in could be this amazing.

Walking deeper into what seems like a mystery for her to unravel ,she came across her reflections in the standing room before her .THE HELLY!she screamed .She was looking like a corpse ,her face were completely drained of energy,her skin were pale and her eye bags were bigger than a bag filled with stones.Her hair were rough and tangled above all she had lost weight ,there were deep holes around her neck region.

So this was how I looked to everyone ,she voiced out ashamed of her own reflection in the mirror,recollecting how many people she've met within her stay .

After bathing she tried on different clothes but none seem to fit her body ,Either they were way too big or too slimmer on her,besides it wasn't her choice of cloth ,she never liked wearing gown or skirt ,she only wear's it when there is a occasion,she was used to wearing trousers or dressing like a stud.After several pick and throw ,she finally saw one that was okay for her to put on.It was a long pink gown with straps and button at the front chest ,the designs were dull and simple ,the type that she likes.Putting it on ,she combed her hair with her hands.

Tum*Tun ,Her phone beeped .Taking her cellphone from the bed ,she read's the message that appeared on her phone ,it was from Chris.

"Let's breakup ,i don't want to ever see you around me or anywhere close to me ,forget about me and move on with your wretched life"I already deleted your number and I'm going to block you right now,Thanks for the mess you created ,he wrote .

BASTARD !she said muffling a crying sound,wasn't he supposed to apologized?she said thinking they could still fix it if he apologized,she couldn't stay mad with him for long.
