Aren't these names cute? Don't you think Scarlet?"
Estelle was showing me an article of Ashton's birthday party.
Apparently, she also had uploaded a picture of mine and Alex holding each other in our arms on her Instagram. Currently she is getting numerous likes on all the pictures of the party. As for our picture, a lot of people commented and liked along with ship names, which she is excitedly showing to me.
"Well, I am your no. 1 fan. I totally ship you two and my ship name for you guys is AleSca." Lorry said giggling.
"I totally agree. They both look cute together. A perfect match, a match made in heaven." Sera said with dreamy eyes.
"Aww..." Estelle and Taylor cooed together.
I blushed and giggled along with them. They were totally discussing about me and Alex the whole while. Estelle and Taylor loved Sera a lot and they were enjoying each other's company.
Well, even Ray was accompanying us for our girl's day out. I felt bad for him, he had to tag along with us girls and we were all talking about fashion, food, gossips etc. His complaint was that how much of a crap we talk with each other especially the hot gossips and relationship status of actors.
Currently he is on a call, talking very seriously to someone. I hope everything is fine.
We were just having some refreshment juice in a shopping mall food court and suddenly my phone started ringing.
I quickly received the call without noticing the caller id.
"Hello"
"Scarlet....please...help...please...need you."
"Hey, where are you? What happened?"
"Alex's old apartment... Please help."
"I'm coming. Calm down I'm coming."
"Who was it?" Estelle asked me with concern.
"Cherry. I guess she is... in some kind of trouble. I need to go."
"Wait. Where is she? I'll come with you." Taylor asked with a frown.
"She is at Alex's old apartment. No I'll go...you guys stay here and I'll be back in some time."
"No...Letty I am coming along with you. Now let's go."
"Okay fine Lorry. Estelle just be with Sera and inform Ray once when he is done with his call. Yeah?
Sera stay here with Ray and Estelle. We will be back soon."
Taylor and I left the food court and hailed a cab.
"Umm...I don't know the address." I said to myself while thinking how stupid I was. I don't know many things about him. We haven't talked much about his past.
"Please take us to Hotel Seawood's."
Taylor said to the driver and I looked at her questioningly. How come she said ...wait she knows where is his old apartment? How?
"How do you know?"
She muttered something under her breath which I couldn't hear and replied,
"Umm...well, resources sweetheart."
For time being I ignored the weird questioning feeling which I am having towards Taylor. Right now I need to focus on Cherry. What must have happened to her? She called me for help and why?
She was in a panic mode. Oh god is her baby okay?
So many questions were running on my mind right now. My cellphone started vibrating again but it stopped and it got switched off. Great!
The phone is dead now.
After thirty minutes we reached the hotel and got inside to the reception. The building was quite tall, royally built for elite people in the society.
We asked for Cherry and the reception lady smiled and helped us with the direction for the elevator.
Taylor pressed for the penthouse floor. Again I looked at her questioningly.
"How you know?" I asked her.
She sighed and was about to reply but I interrupted and said,
"Aah... yes, resources right?"
She shrugged her shoulders and smiled.
I rolled my eyes and stood quietly with her. The elevator stopped and we stepped out. I was feeling weird somehow. We walked through the hallway and towards the center right side we saw the penthouse door. It was a bit open, hence we pushed the door completely and entered inside to see where Cherry is. The apartment was quite a spacious one but I stopped admiring it. I need to focus.
"Cherry where are you?" I called out for her. But she was not in the living room. Taylor checked towards the kitchen area while I moved further into the two spare bedrooms. But it was empty.
I was about to move towards the next room but I heard Taylor shriek.
"Scarlet....Aaahhh"
I instantly ran out towards the kitchen but she was not there. I moved towards living room again and I saw her lying on the floor. Her back was facing me and I could see that she was injured. I moved towards her body and held her head in my lap while tears started flowing down my cheek. With a panic stricken voice I called out her name. But she was losing conscious. There was blood on the floor and head was bleeding.
"Taylor. Please. Stay with me....Oh god." I was trying to hold her up. But I was not able to hold her steady.
"Scarlet."
I turned around to see her standing there with a gun pointed at me. Her eyes were void of any emotions. She was clearly looking like a deranged person.
"Cherry." I whispered her name in a very low voice. Afraid to move, I stood near to Scarlet's unconscious body.
My heart was beating so rapidly that I might get a heart attack right now. What is wrong with her?
"Look what you've done? Look at her.
Look what you've made me into. A total mess.... You....
You.... Scarlet is a thief.
You stole everything from me.
Why?"
"What?" I asked her confused and very carefully in a low tone.
She laughed hysterically.
"Oh what a bitch.... Being all innocent.....
I said you're a thief. You took away everything from me.....My peace, my happiness, my love, my Alexander."
She yelled at me angrily.
"What!" I asked her with sadness. Alexander.
"Yes. I love him and he loved me. Then you came along and changed everything. You stole him from me. How could you?
You are so ugly. You don't even have a status. You are a bitch who just wants to have his money. Hell, you don't even have a career for yourself. Look at you...."
"Stop... please Cherry....Stop." I am hurt with all her words but my friend is injured, I need to save her. Cherry is gone crazy. What am I supposed to do? I need to calm her down.
"Just calm down Cherry and put the gun away. We'll talk it out." I stated calmly wiping away my tears. If I yell at her she will lose it and one of us definitely will get injured. I need to stay calm.
"No.... I want you away from him. He is mine. You back off. Go to hell....I don't know. All I do know is that I love him and I need him." She broke down in tears and started rambling out words. All her bottled up emotions were coming out. But she still had the gun pointed at me.
"You don't know anything. He was my first love. The only one who loved me, who supported me and made me who I am today but somehow due to the distance created between us made me turn away from him. I got attracted to another man, who I thought was more capable of making me damn happy than Alex. I know it was a huge mistake from my end for all the complications. I learnt my lesson. I suffered and endured a lot because everything turned out to be a nightmare for me.
I realized that Alexander is the one for me. He is my savior, my love and my life. I need him and I will not allow anyone, not even you to take him away from me. Even if it means that I have to kill you."
I gasped. She was about to pull the trigger but stopped. She gave a wicked chuckle.
"Aaahh... No. No no no no no. I need a happy ending. I don't want to be a murderer. So...I give you a chance."
"What?" I frowned at her.
"Take her." She commanded while snapping her fingers in air. Two heavily built men grabbed my both arms and dragged me out of the penthouse. I was struggling to get free from their hold but they silenced me by making me sniff a handkerchief.
I started losing my conscious, Alexander was the last word that I uttered and then I slipped into darkness.
