That dream doesn't bother me much as I immediately called Jake after it. He was busy so I didn't say a word about the mom and her mindset towards him.
After 3 daysI was standing outside the college's main gate waiting for Soph.
Hey Mr Dr was here
"Waiting for Soph huh?" He questioned.
"Yeah, she's always late." I smirked.
"Well when it comes to me she's always." He murmured.
"Are you guys having any relationship problem?"
"Yeah, to be honest I feel like I'm the one who's committed, it bothers me sometimes. But at the end I feel like only I'm sucked in this relationship."
He looks so serious .
"Should I talk to her about it?" I asked Obviously yes.
"Nope. I'm planning to talk to her for a while."
At night I used to talk to Jake. And sometimes with mom . She went for some charity work out of the town .
I was resting in the couch for one hour or more maybe.
Suddenly my back pocket started vibrating, it's just phone.
Soph's name was flashing on the screen .
"Alice, where are you"? She sounds so dominating.
"I'm home. What happened.. are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm coming to you." She disconnected the call very quickly.
I waited for barely 20 minutes and I heard the door's knock.
I opened it and Soph rushed .
"We had a really really bad fight." She yelled.
"Who? You and Mr Dr"? Obvious question and obvious answer.
"Yeaah, he thinks I don't love him. He's a fucking jerk, a greedy selfish man. What does he think of himself just because he's handsome and rich I'll fall for him? No I won't".
"Hey listen...Calm down it's not end of the world". I tried my level best for the example .
"Shut the Fuck up Alice I don't want any sort of lectures. Just shut up".
And there was pin drop silence.
Until my phone start vibrating.
Mr Dr? Why why right now
"He.. hello." I stammered
" Sophie is with you?. Just say yes."
"Yeah, you wanna ta..talk to her?" I could feel her eyes glued at me, which scared the shit out of me.
"Soph.. can you talk to.."
"Nope and you don't listen to that bastard ." She was on her feets now.
Finally we have a decent talk. Well she talked and I listened. Daniel this.. Daniel that... I hardly pay attention rather I was thinking about telling all this to Jake .
She ended up with a latte and lots of tears, and I was done with latte, salsa chips and two choco bars.... still little hungry.
She left in dark and I started my mechanical's assignment.
But the rain outside distracted me.
I was almost done with the assignment within two hours. I called mom to ask if she make it home.
But she gave an obvious reason the rain.
It was expected so I lay on the bed. Surprisingly phone showed no network, hence I glued myself to phone's gallery.
Jake was holding some papers and Tiger . Tiger was our dog he die almost one year ago.
That picture was perfect, jake looked so good my handsome old brother.
I smiled and keep scrolling.
Me and Jake, it was a wake-up selfie. I was smiling with close eyes and Jake made his vampire face. It was the day when mom told me about legal action against him.
But finally she changed her decision. I'm glad.
Me, Jake and.. Steve,we were so happy well that time. It was Jake's official recruitment. Steve was also recruited on that day. We used to call it "the happy selfie." A crooked curve shaped my lips
A sudden knock distracted me. Mom at this time? Its 1 am and during this weather.....it was lightning and thundering already.
Actually I was quite sure it wasn't mom so I stick to my bed and wait
for the sound of knock go away.
Which never happen finally I reached the door.
I peeped through the window and the figure I saw was of girl according to me only. That bloody hoodie was hiding all the features.
The knock grow loud and louder.
I finally opened it and that figured person made a quick run to the fireplace.
"For God's sake Alice ... how long does it takes to open the door? "
"It was girl, and the voice sounded familiar."
"Oh I'm sorry I was sleeping." What can I do at one in the morning.
She dropped her hoodie, and I easily recognized her. She was Serene.
"It's okay, have you heard about the massive thunder outside ? "
"No, not actually". Coz I was busy in my phone's gallery.
"Why , is something wrong?" I asked.
"You're sick Alice half of state in under its spam. Our all connections from Jake's research center are broken."
I was shocked ,my jaw was dropping and unconsciously my eyes went teary.
"What do you mean?" I grabbed her collar. My shivering hands have a loose grip but I somehow make it tight enough to scare her.
"Cool down, only texas is facing much of its effect. Our connection are broken because the radar is not working... Okay . Nature is calm near Florida. So don't just cool down and move to basement."
I dropped her collar and sit on the couch. Without Expression.
"Then what are you doin here?" I murmured.
"He told me to take care of you. We were on conference just before the cloud burst out."
I sat still.
"Come on, Alice move your ass from that couch". She ordered
And gimme some clothes, its fucking cold in here.
I nodded then brought my clothes for her.
She changed and told me grab all edible and move to basement faster.
No matter how many times she told me to move faster I was slow, still angry at the fucking radar.
As only parts of Texas was affected, I wasn't worried about my mother,she was in Santa Fae and that was quite far. And finally we went down in the basement.Quote - life's a drink, and love's a drug.
