THE CHURCH GIRL

Chapter 19

***NAOMI'S POV****

* * * * * *
Between me and Julia, she was the crazy one when she is physically pissed. She has a way of smiling at her worst enemy which only her enemy would understand, but for me, when I'm pissed, I get quiet till I am okay to give you a piece of my mind, that is if am still being pressured to say something. Julia and I had a lot in common and since we had values of moral and a commitment to God, we were always careful with our words expecially when we are angry. When Julia asked me to stay back and let her get her hands dirty with Samantha, I wasn't really sure whether to let her or not but she was gone before I could say anything. Lisa and I exchanged looks whilst Ella continued listening to Samantha make cheap talk for tv. Well I don't blame her for wanting a camera on her wide face.

I sat next to Lisa on the couch with a heavy sigh thinking about what Samantha was saying and geez...Devon. That was not supposed to happen.

"Look look, is Julia, she is on tv with...Oh my God she is gonna kill Samantha", Ella shouted with a gasp when our attention drifted to the tv.

"Excuse her for a second, I need to settle a score with her right now", Julia said on the tv smiling at the reporter and then angrily grabbed Samantha's left arm and pulled her up to follow her in another private area which we three knew was "Julia's angry spot", the middle of the hospital where everyone passing by can see what happens clearly enough to know who is gonna get killed. The reporter wasn't allowed in that area so we couldn't see what was gonna happen. The three of us exchanged horrific looks and rushed to the door to Samantha's rescue because Julia was Junior's bestfriend and whoever made him into a cannoing topic, will live to regret it. That was one thing Julia and I had in common.

"How dare you Julia, let go off my arm right now you disrespectful snob", Samantha wailed angrily at Julia who just ignored her. Wow, I couldn't believe we got there just in time to get a close up.

Julia threw off Samantha's arm strongly and raised a finger infront of her face,"One more cynical word from you Samantha, and you will find a few of your teeth in different directions which I promise you, won't be pleasant enough to pick them up, you hear!".

Samantha had never seen the bad side of Julia and this time, it looked like this was just one half of her bad times,"How dare you talk to me like that Julia. Don't you have any idea what I can do to you?".

"What huh, tell me. Tell me exaxtly what you will do which you haven't done already because you are yet to see what I can do to you instead", Julia said loosing her cool in a sarcastic manor.

"Do you really wanna try me Julia?, I can get you out of here in a blink you weasel. Don't forget my position here little girl", Samantha warned arrogantly. I controlled myself and I mostly do that where Samantha is concerned and Julia, didn't care about control when she has had it with people like Samantha.

"That was before Miss. Samantha. Gosh, are you really that desperate. You are soo pathetic Samantha, to the extent of using a little boy who died at this same hospital for a little close up on some petty camera!", Julia shouted at Samantha who looked so shocked and scared at the same time. Looks like now she is finally getting Julia in her brain.

"Don't yell at me Julia, he is just a boy who died, one of the many who is dead amd gone Julia, get over it", Samantha went off right there. I took a step forward when I felt a warm hand touch my arm and pulled me back gently. I turned to see a pleading Ella shaking her head sideways for me to back off for now.

"What did you just say Samantha?", Julia asked biting back tears.

"You heard me",Samantha didn't look sorry so Julia cleared her throat and used her favourite best move.

"You know what Samantha, I don't blame you one bit. You wanna know why, don't worry, I will say it anyway", at this time, lots of doctors and visitors passing by stopped a little in their tracks to watch what was going on,"I get it Samantha, since you are incapable of having children of your own, you figured it was okay to be bitter about other people's children right", Samantha looked as shocked as anything and it wasn't just her, us too but Julia continued anyway,"You think is fair enough to mock and use other people's family, dead or alive, to get some tv fame right, well guess what Sammy, if you ever pray to God to help you have a child and if he doesn't listen because of the kind of bitterness you have inside you, I hope you finally get to know what it feels like to loose and not have a child because is almost the same thing. Oh and I think you better start getting on your knees now if you even know how to pray but before you taint God's image with that dirt filled knees, we know you hid our plates and letters which made us miss our title grad for months. Yes we are aware. Again, don't even mess the pure ground with those knees, you are too scornful and pathetic to even have that kind of elegance. At this point, the ground is even more relevant than your entire existence. Forget the prayer point I just gave you, no one will listen to that foul mouth of your even if you cried fire and storm. Witch ", and with that Julia walked away to her office without so much as turning to see Samantha breakdown with shocking tears lost for words.

I went after Julia angrily forgetting she just defended my brother. Yes she defended Junior but she didn't have to talk about Samantha's private life like that. She didn't even know she couldn't have children and Julia just told her that without any thought infront of everyone. No matter what Samantha may have done, Julia had no right to break that kind of news to her.

Julia almost banged her door in my face when she entered her office upset and wiping off the tears on her face. She grabbed a bottle of water from her freezer and gulped it down in two seconds. Wow, Julia was on edge but that wasn't gonna stop me from giving her a piece of my mind.

"Julia, what in God's name did you just do!. Samantha's doctor was supposed to break that news to her and not you. You had no right to do that!", I had said angrily.

Julia turned to me with a confused shocking face,"Are you alright Naomi?, did you not hear what she said about Junior, your brother?, she technically called him a nobody!".

"So the only thing you could have done was say something so confidential infront of the entire hospital. No matter what she said Julia she still didn't deserve to hear such news from you of all people. You are better than that Julia", I said calmly and then sighed. Julia still looked at me like I just said the worst thing.

"Why are you defending her?, Naomi what is wrong with that brain of yours, geez. She deserved to hear more than that, and is not my fault she is such a disgusting old bitter anti viper...", Julia continued as I gasped.

"Julia!", I shouted shutting her up,"How about you also ask God for forgiveness", I said as we both fell on the couch sniffing,"Do you think I'm being unfair?", I asked turning to look at Julia.

"Noooo boo boo, you are the best thing that ever happened to Junior. He adored you. And I think I did go overboard with Samantha but, sorry to disappoint you, I'm not gonna apologise to her till she apologises to you and maybe your entire family too, and on camera, they might have heard that on tv", we looked at eachother and laughed through the tears.
