It has been a week since I found out about Toms girlfriend ,and apparently ,she's not just his girlfriend ,but his FIANCEE ,not to mention she's PREGNANT !!!,I was damn furious ,but he finally admitted they met in a club party ,got really high ,and this is the the result ,but I was touched when he told me ,he knew her already ,good childhood friends ,and Tom had always loved her ,after she told him she was pregnant ,he didn't rebuke her,instead two weeks later he proposed ,and of course she said yes ,but all in all ,I can't control Tom anyway, he's twenty four.
"Pearl ,Brittany's over !", I heard my mum shout and I immediately rushed down ,phone in hand ,socks on my feet,sweatpants on and a singlet on ,
" hey ,wuts-hmph ",was all Britt was able to say cause I had already tackled her to the ground
" hey" ,I said as I straddled her ,
"Can you get off me now " she said looking amused ,I might be older but I still act like a child,don't get me wrong I'm nothing compared to Diana ,and just like that "BRITTANY !" she shouted and fell the both of us back to the ground with her squeezing the life out of the both of us .

* * * * * * *×××××××××
Cole ,Cyndy and Britt have already gone home like 30 minutes ago ,and suddenly Diana was missing ,I checked round the too huge of a hose with nearly NINE FREAKING ROOMS ,but when you have 6 kids ,the parents room and a guest room ,you really can't blame my parents ,in our house ,my parents have what they call the stress room ,its all black and Gray ,has a hearth at one end of the room a big screen TV above it ,a big gray movable cushion at the end of the room ,it has an MP3 player just beside the hearth. It has only one floor to ceiling tinted glass window ,and a closet at the wall to the right ,....well ,...more like closets ,there six here, actually one for each kid (except Claire that is )den one for my parents ,it only has one head light right at the middle of the room and a switch close to the door ,its one of my favorite places to stay in ,its so peaceful and to make it more better , walls are sound proof ,blocking out all the noise from the
busy streets of New York ,so yeah you can say we are rich ,(like hella rich)but I hate bragging about it ,what's the point
,anyways back to the present ,Diana wasn't here so I just knew there was only one place she'd be ,I walked to our room (Diana's and I room that is),I walked to the biggest window in the room ,and saw it slightly opened and smiled to myself ,I closed my room door since I had eaten ,taken my bath and ready for bed ,I took my phone and put it in my Pajama's trousers ,I climbed out the window and looked up and saw sock-covered-feet dangling and I smiled ,I then looked to my left and saw an iron ,wall-kissed ladder ,I climber and got to the flat roof where I say Diana wearing headphones ,having hot-dog and sitting on the couch we had both argued about ,but after agreeing ,decided to help her with her crazy idea,And its now I'm seeing how useful it is . I
walked up to her and sat beside her,but not once did she turn to look at me ,her eyes were trained to the skies and looked at how beautiful they looked and then without facing her I got an idea ,
"Did you do it " I said and struggled not to smirk but ended up grinning ,she looked at me then eyed my grin suspiciously
"What do you mean ",
" did prince charming get his 'kiss',I did playful hand quotations ,at 'kiss',and she just eye rolled
"Your unbelievable ",
" I know ",then we both laughed at my stupidity ,then D.(as I call her ),shook her head ,
" wutsup ?",I asked concern laced in every bit of that word ,
"Nothing ,just tired ", she said quietly and I raised an eyebrow at her ,she looked at me and couldn't hold my gaze for a second before bursting out laughing ,while I still kept a stoic face ,waiting for her to talk
" I just miss her ",she whispered ,but loud enough for me to hear ,
I couldn't help but crack a sad smile ,I put an arm around her and drew her closer to me ,
" we all do D.,we all do ",

" UGH"!,I picked up my phone from my pocket and walked to the back of the bakery to answer the call ,
"Hello ",
" PEARL!",
"HEY !,wutsup "
"Nothing much, ...so have you decided on what your wearing for the party ",she said and I couldn't help but roll my eyes ,
" is that really why you called me",
"Yup", she said with all joy ,while I sighed in frustration ,
" what's wrong ,you sound exhausted",she asked stupidly ,which was very annoying ,
"What's today's date",
" Tuesday ,why did you ask",
"Where are you meant to be on Tuesdays",
" Huh,what do yo-ohhhhhh,shit!",
"Ohhhhhhh,shit ,get your ass here before 2 o'clock or I'm reporting you,I'm tired of doing your own shifts !", I scolded her in a motherly tone
" Yeash,sorry mum,I'll be there in a sec",she said and I could practically hear her eye roll ,
"You better be ",
" Whatever ....just save me cookies !",she shouted the last part and I couldn't help but laugh,
"Kk",
" you done ",I heard someone say behind me and I couldn't help but scream ,I turned to see Max, my childhood, and best friend ,
" what the hell,don't scare me like that",I scolded him<I've been doing that a lot recently>and all he did was to roll his hazel eyes
NOTE:
MAX: An American ,hazel eyes ,dark hair ,pink lips ,an athlete ,has abs,uncontrollably curly hair,tall(6'2),wonderfully tanned skinned ,and is super cute ,and has an irresistibly cute smile .
"So what do you want", I said this putting my hand on my hips ,and cocking one to the side ,with an eyebrow up ,(mother stance ,nobody gets past it ),buuuut
" can you plllleaasssse ,give me a brownie ,I promise to be good",he whined
"Nope,and No", I said and made the mistake of looking him in the eye ,cause he gave me his signature ,irresistible ,puppy dog eyes ,
" ugggh ,fine",I said and handed him one ,
"Yes ,thanks", he fist bumped with the air and I couldn't help but shake my head at his childishness
" your unbelievable "
"I know ,anyhow ,Boss is calling you,said its very important ,you should come NOW",
" UGGGGHHHH,what does he want ",
" I don't know ....just be careful.....I have a feeling ....he's gonna hit on you again.....hmmmmm...this are sooooo good",he said with his mouth and face full with brownies ,
"Seriously !", I said when he pecked me with his brownie-filled-mouth ,and all he did was chuckle at my attempt to clean it off ,
" I hate you ",I whispered ,staring daggers at his retreating back
" I love you too sweet cheeks ",he shouted back and I scowled at him ,<I hate it when people call me that>
×××××××××∆~
" Yes Mr Brunner ",I said as I gently and quietly opened and closed his office door ,I found him sitting on his desk ,head down and head in hands ,which also happened to be running through his hair,
" Are you okay ,Mr .Brunner ",I said while cautiously moving closer to him,why ?,well let's say this 'man' over here ,might look like an angel but has the heart of Devil
Tried to rape me twice.
Threatened to make me and everyone in my family loose their job if I don't sleep with him.
Insulting ,abusing ,and down right hurting me ,physically and emotionally.
So yeah ,I keep my distance ,
" oh ,miss Johnson ,yeah,...this is weird ",he said when he looked up and also whispered the last part ,<and did he just call me by my surname>I raised a perfect brow at him and stood up straight ,
" you wanted to see me ",I said putting my hands in the pocket of my apron ,<it has a mixture of red ,pink and purple>
" yeah,...ummmm...uhhh..wow ...this is hard....... I'm .............sorry",he whispered ,while keeping his hands clasped over his nose and mouth ,with his head down and peeking through his hands to see my reaction ,which was one of utter and pure confusion,He rubbed his hands on his face,
"For everything I did,from the abusing ,to the threatening........to the ..trying to rape you,....I know what I did was wrong, stupid even ,but I need you to know that I'm really sorry", he said softly ,not able to meet my eyes,while scratching the back of his head (aww,he looks so cute when he's blushing ,wait,WHAT!,is Mr Brunner Steven Mark ,BLUSHING!)
" Are you okay sir?",he opened his mouth to say something then shut it,
"Actually no" I raised an eyebrow ,interested in the excuse he might have
"I .need.......help", he said and my eyes literally popped out of my head,did he just ask for help ,people ask him for help and not the other way around
" and how can I help you sir ",
" well...uhhhh...ugh,this is so cliché ",he said as he growled in frustration (okay I'm getting curious )he then looked down them started talking ,
" I met this Lady, who just happened to be my childhood friend, I've been dating her for a while now ,two months actually ,.......but.... I'm finding it hard to propose",he whispered while chewing the nail on his thumb, then he looked at me and I gasped,he looked more vulnerable than ever ,the man whose eyes alone can make a man pee in his pants ,but can also make all the women in an estate flock around and drool at him in seconds (sadly I might have been one of them,but that's before ,even though I still can't help but gaze at his beauty)
"And why is that?",I said cheerfully(finally!,I can be free of the rumors that I'm his wife ,lover ,and the most disgusting ,his EFFING MISTRESS),but all I got in return was a suspicious look,
" I feel she'll say no,that she doesn't want to at the moment ,or she's not ready ,or even worse she hates me ,or maybe she's found another guy,which will not just break me ,but drive me insane ,I'm in love with her ,I don't know how to think straight when she's around ,then some bastard from some motherfucking son of a-!",
"SIR", I had to cut him of,
" sorry",he said sheepishly and looked down ,which was just adorable ,
"Do you love her?",
" yeah",
"Do you think she loves you?",
" yeah",
"Have you been an asshole to her", I said dryly and he just chuckled which made me smile
" Nahh,I've reduced my 'assholiness'",he said while making hand gestures with his hand and it was my turn to laugh,(oh and by the way ,that you
not a word,just flow with it people ,don't worry u ain't gonna see it no more ,now on with the story)
"Then why do you have doubt's?",
" You know,I'm a coward ,everyone hates me ,I'm annoying ,I'm a jerk ,a self-hating disgusting piece of shit ,a woman-beater ,I tried to make sure that no woman ended up the way mine did ,but I just made women feel worst than my mom ever did,I'm a hypocrite ,and not to mention a disgusting ,annoying ,inconsiderate bastard,LITERALLY !",he shouted and I flinched at the loudness of his voice when he saw me he softened ,but I still saw hatred evident in his eyes ,and not just the normal hatred ,the one of disappointment , the one that makes you just wonder why on earth God decided to put you on the damn cursed planet ,the kind of hatred that makes you to pick up any freaking thing your hands can reach and just end your life on the spot ,but then again ,what the hell will you be gaining after ending your life ,end one misery ,only to enter another world of pure Eternal Misery ,and come to think of it ,do we own our own our lives ,left alone the life's of others ,I put a hand on his shoulders and he looked up ,and my heart tore to pieces when I saw him crying ,people might not know ,put the hardest thing to see ,is when a man cries,white,black,red,mixed,rich,poor,or a simple man,its one of the sights that is almost heart breaking ,it sometimes make you forget that some men can be vicious demons,I cupped his face ,not thinking twice of what I was doing cleaned his tears and gave him a small sad smile them came closer and kissed his forehead softly ,when I pulled away his eyes were closed and he had thankfully stopped crying,I was about to remove my hands too when he caught my right hand in his left hand and urged me not to go ,I hesitated before obliging to his terms,he smiled and leaned his face onto my right hand when I started stroking his cheek,then his left hand held my small right hand in his big ,left one and started drawing lazy soothing circles on the back of my palm ,he then opened his eyes and I have honestly never seen his gray eyes sparkle like that before ,and for ones in his life he looked relaxed calm and happy ,I couldn't help but smile that he was better now,
"Thanks ....a lot,I really have no idea of how to repay you ", he said ,his hands still rubbing my arm ,
" No need ,you asked me for help and not for a favor ,and I also totally forgive you ,and don't worry , in case you haven't noticed ,you've changed ,a lot actually ,and even if you were a jerk ,I have every hope that she'll say yes",all he did was give me a genuine happy smile
"I hope you find your right person soon ,you deserve it ", I grinned at that ,
"Go get your girl
