Allera.

FALL THROUGH - 9

"The DailyMagz said it, they broke up a week ago," Amelia said while holding up her phone in front of Natalie with the DailyMagz website. Natalie has her hand in front of her mouth.

"We're her friends and has to find out through a fucking website?!," Natalie snatches Amelia's phone from her hand and reads the article herself. 

Before Natalie even finish the article, Amelia called out Allera that walked past them like usual because she won't ever approach them first. Allera stopped and walk towards them, smiling. Even for pre-breakup Allera. Smiling isn't what the both of them thought she was capable of doing casually. 

"Is your face okay?", Natalie said concerned. 

"You're doing good considering you just broke up."

Allera's eyes widened, it was like she made herself forget and now her friend is reminding her of the life she thought was a century ago was a week ago. 

"How do you know?"

"It's the DailyMagz", Amelia squirm. 

Just the sentence that made Allera turn her smile upside down, she has this look in her eye that can have the ability to shit in your pants. Amelia immediately regretted what she had just said. Allera walks closely to Amelia and she just starts walking backward out of fear. Allera pokes Amelia's shoulder with her pointer. 

"Mention my breakup again, and I'll pay you out of the school", She stomped her way out of the conversation.

Amelia's back was touching the wall behind her, Allera had managed to corner her even in real life. Natalie and Amelia give each other a look, they did not know what happened. Amelia was just commenting and she completely snap at her. They didn't think a person could go from already being the worst to even more dreadful. 

Allera knock open a bathroom stall and pull out a girl that was vaping inside the stall. She locks the door and sat on the cover of the toilet seat. She can hear the girl banging on the door but Allera's mind was already filled with anger and she just doesn't care. 

The only thing she was feeling right now was rage but she just didn't know what she was mad about, the fact everybody knew she got dumped, or that she was scared that the news might make their end of relationship official. She quickly scroll to the website, she read once, twice, thrice, she was searching if the DailyMagz knew the reason why he ended it with Allera, a tear strolled down Allera's cheek. She felt as much pain as she felt that day on the rooftop. She tried to hold in her tears because of how crowded this bathroom was, hoping no one can hear her bawl her eyes out.

"So you got no money, friends, and family?", He asked to make sure what I'd been telling him these past 15 minutes is true. 

"Yeah, only got you. But do I?", I  said doubting. 

"You do hon!", He pulls me in for an awkward side hug, I'm still feeling not sure about my brotherly relationship with him. 

We both look ahead of us, I'm in his car listening to his full of RnB artist playlist. It's a rainy Sunday Morning in New York, I hated the rain, I hated being wet. Mr. Smith has been so thoughtful to take me to brunch every weekend because he knew I have not been eating anything. I wasted all of my money this past 3 weeks. The job I applied to, they didn't send me back. So I suspect they just didn't want me to become their model for the product.

I still get like 200 dollars each week because of my video with IT Girl, but I don't get as much money as the first week. Right now we are on our way to a new brunch location because Mr. Smith is a respectfully educated, young, and gay man, he needs the references he said. He told me if they were out with his other gay friends he could drop location for example, 'I've been to that place, but the one near 2nd Avenue had the best omelet'. He's like a name-dropper but for brunch locations.
