The Obsession

Chapter 14

Crescent and Sirena had apparently bumped into two girls, Grace and Morgan.

They were nice girls and they even offered to let them stay over at their place, but Cress shook her head, she thought that it would bother the girls.

But here they were, inside their mansion. Man, wasn't everyone having mansions these days in California?

Sirena frowned at Cress,"This place remind me of your mansion."

"Yeah, and?"

"It's creepy." Sirena replied. "They look a bit similar, except that your place is a bit bigger. I can't stop think about the memories we had at your place with Lyra, it makes me feel guilty that we don't know where she is and that we don't know how she is doing."

"You girls said something?" Grace popped out of nowhere with Morgan and smiled. "Something about Cress living in a mansion?"

"Uh..." Sirena trailed off.

Crescent shrugged,"Used to, now I don't."

"Why?" Morgan plopped down besides her. Cress replied,"I just wanted to get away from somethings. I guess living life with money is boring."

"Tell me Sirena," Grace sat down besides her as well. "Where did you two come from?"

"The town of Northridge." Sirena said. "Is there anyone else that's living here? Like your guys' parents?"

"Nah, we live here with our other two guy friends." Grace shrugged. "If you see them making out, don't mind them."

"We'll continue this conversation later," Crescent said with her leg crossed over her other one. "Is there any spare clothes for us that we can use?"

When they gave them the spare clothes, Sirena and Cress immediately hit the showers. While Cress waited, she slowly lifted her shirt up and saw the faint stab marks on her stomach. She grimaced as she touched it.

It would be a miracle if they won't leave scars. They weren't really fatal wounds since they only cut her, which Crescent thought they stabbed her instead, they wouldn't really be scars.

After the showers, Cress and Sirena walked along side by side while listening to Morgan and Grace's conversations about the two of them.

"-is big in the fashion world, so is Crescent. I've seen Cress in some magazines before, but later I found out from gossips that she quitted being a model because she missed spending time with her friends." Morgan explained to Grace. "Her father makes movies as well, he's known all around, that is if people would stop talking about the actors and talk about the directors of the movies."

"Wow," Grace commented. "You really do listen to gossip. What a surprise."

"I listen to rumors and gossip once in a while." Morgan shrugged at her.

"Anything else about Cress? What about her friend, Sirena?" Grace leaned forward a bit, wanting to hear more of what Morgan was explaining to her.

"Sirena Bays also started doing some modeling when she was with Crescent, but she stopped earlier because she wanted to spend some more time with her family."

"You impress me yet again." Grace smiled.

"You girls impress me as well," Sirena commented to them while walking down besides Crescent.

Sirena was a bit embarrassed that people knew why she and Cress quit modeling. They never really had a private life before, it was kinda a problem to them.

Cress lazily hopped on the couch and gave Grace and Morgan a stoic expression. "Gossip huh? What you're saying is mainly true. I had quit modeling to live a normal life."
