"Mariah!?" Then I was attacked in a big hug. It was Gemma!
I hugged her back. "How are you? I haven't seen you since Marcel left. Oh, where are my manners please come in!" Gemma opened the door wide for me to walk in.
Mhm. Nothing has change in here. Everything was still the same.
"Gemma, who's at th- Mariah!" Anne quickly walked down the stairs, looking as beautiful as ever and hugged me. "Hey Anne" I hugged her back. Anne is so beautiful compare for her age.
"You wanted to talk to me?" I asked Anne. Gemma froze and looked at Anne with wide eyes. Something's up..
"Yes, sweetheart. Here sit and ill get you some tea. she gestures to the couch and walked in the kitchen. I walked to the couch and sat down, a few minutes laterAnne handed me a tea and sat down beside me. "I'll just ran down the store and umm get some snacks.. What anything mom? Mariah?"
"No thanks Hun. How about you?" She turns to me. " I'm good. Thanks anyway" I smiled at Gemma.
She walked out the door and when the door shut Anne took a deep breathe and started talking.
"So.. Have you and Marcel been talking to each other?" She asked me.
"Nope. Ever since he left, no calls. No text. No anything." I sadly sad.
"Oh. I thought you were still keeping in touch because you two are inseparable. I remember those years. Anyway this is why I called you here. Have you heard of the news lately about him?" She
"Umm. No, I have been busy with college and everything." I took a sip of my tea and placed it down on the coffee table.
"Mariah, I need your help since you are Marcel's best friend, he might listen to you and you can help him get his self back."
"What do you mean by help him get his self back?" I curiously asked.
"The fame got to Marcel. Every night he is out in clubs drinking, getting into fights and bringing girls back to his flat. He is a mess Mariah. A huge mess." Anne shakily spoke. I sat there thinking about what Anne just said.
"Please Mariah, management and the lads are furious with Marcel's actions and the lads called me the other day and said that they are sending Marcel back home for a few weeks to fix himself." Informed Anne.
"How could Marcel do that?, That is not like him I ill do it. I'll help Marcel" I said. She was tearing up, she must be really hurt with Marcel's actions. I pulled her in for a hug and told her its going to be okay.
"When will he arrive?" I asked Anne, grabbing a box of tissue from the the cabinet where the flat screen was. "Tomorrow I think." She answered, grabbing the box from me.
Bzzzzzz. Bzzzzz.
From: Mom
Can you babysit Zack? I might be a little home late and his baby sister is just up to 6.
To: Mom
Sure :))
I shoved my phone in my pocket and faced Anne again.
"Anne, I need to go. My mom is running a little late for work and I have to babysit my baby brother." I stood up.
"Okay. I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" She asked, walking me to the door.
"Yea." I hugged her one last time and walked out.

The next day.
