"Terra, Terra, Do you understand the terms and conditions?" The lawyer said.
She nodded. "Yes," she said as she eyed the divorce papers. "And Devin do you understand the terms and conditions?" His lawyer asked him. He nodded and added a small "yes."
Four years down the drain. Terra and Devin had been going through problems for a while now. First fights were small, they were over nothing really. The more they fought it turned into why dishes weren't clean? and who shirt is this? Then who is he? And did you love him? And who is she? Did you want her?
The sweet nothings and promises whispered into each other's ears at night after a passion night of loving making turn to cold night and empty beds. Sleeping in guest rooms to now packing up one's belongings and moving into separate places, become strangers with separate lives. "Terra, are you listening?," Devin asked softly. She turn to him. "Yes?" She said.
"You need to sign the papers now," he said as he slid the paper and pen over to her.
"Right," she said. She grabbed the pen between her slim fingers. Then scribbling down her name and dating the paper. She felt the wind being knocked out of her chest. She quickly slid the paper over to Devin's lawyer and excused herself.
Once she entered the bathroom she broke down in tears. Her life was falling apart in front of her. How did it end this way? She could tell from Devin's face how tired he was. How broken her mistake made him. She was to blame for this and she was okay with taking it. She sat on the cold dirty floor with her knees pressed to her chest. They were so in love. She remember when she received a letter from him. It was in her idol days when she was with her group the Bangtan girls.
They were famous like super famous. They were at their peak of their careers on a super high from a concert in Seoul. They always finish their concerts there. It was another day, but at the same time it wasn't.
Her manager handed her the letter and said "another one, I am sure it will go in a pile with the others one day," he commented. She smirked at him, "yes after I read it like the rest of my fans letters," she teased and stuck her tongue out at him. She sat down in the dressing room. She begin opening the letter, glance at Jenna her soulmate and best friend eyeing her from the corner of her eye as she was removing her stage make up.
"Ooh another letter? You are so popular with the men, unlike me all I get are girls asking me if I am free for dinner or tips on my make up, or if I got a nose job," she scoffed as she wiggled her chair around and face Terra.
"Oh please, I am sure it is nothing, I just hope it isn't like the last guy," she said as she shivered.
"Oh Mr. 69, eww," her friend added as she made a throw up gesture.
"He was small though in the picture," Jenny her other friend added.
The girls giggled and they gathered on the couch next to Terra to read the letter.
Dear Terra,
Hi my Name is Devin. You can call me Dev if you like, I am 20 years old. I am writing you because I got the idea to just do it. How is it being 23 years old in the music industry. So talented? Is it fun? To visit those other countries and see different fans. I know it must be hard to not have privacy and what not. Do you have a favorite hobby? Favorite food? Can I ask you something? Do you mind writing back? My friend Alex bet that I wouldn't get a response from you and that this letter would go unread in the trash or something and that I had to be from a different planet to think we would ever be friends or even communicate. I wanna prove him wrong. Will you help me? I hope so. And if you do write back please make it something physical I can show him. And thank you. Have a bless day.
Devin.
"Boring!" Jenny said as she got up from the couch.
"Oh, come on I think it was sweet, and he seems kind, and his friend seems like an ass, Terra please say you will do it? It's a small request," Jenna said as she shook Terra arm gently.
"You know we can't write back to fans especially what happen between me and that other fan," she said as she gently folded the letter again and placed it back in it's envelope.
"Well how about something simple like a picture with a caption? I mean he asked what your favorite hobby is, you still like to paint right? There is nothing wrong in sharing that," she urged.
"And what if he is a stalker creep?" Jenny piped in.
"Or wants to kidnap me and google search my location through pictures?" Terra retorted.
"Girls! Don't be so negative," she said.
"Then you write him and get married to that creep Jenna," Jenny said before flicking her hair.
"Hey!" Jenna screamed before chasing Jenny who was already out the door.
Terra shook her head. "Those girls are always bickering or loving, no in between with them," she smiled to herself.
"Another letter?" Pip came in and sat down at her make up station.
"Pip aren't you supposed to be going out tonight with Yoonji?" She question.
"Yes, I just need to take off this awful make up it's not good for my beautiful face," she smirked as she dabbed a cotton ball with make up remover.
"Yes our eldest beauty queen," Terra teased as she got up to hug Pip.
"Oh no you don't, you don't get a hug from me after you insult me," she seethe.
I'm sorry Pip, I was just teasing, I need advice from you, besides Nubbie, you are the wisest," she pouted.
"I guess...I could help," she said with a smile.
Chapter 2 is out Baddies? What should Terra do? What will Pip tell her? ~TB
