Fighting Off The Demons

Chapter 16

No one's pov

George's room was just as how he left it. The design, the bed except that he always littered his room and everything is all tidied up.

He was even surprised that his room could be this neat. He just dropped his bag on the floor and he scanned around the room.
"Wow the maid did a good job"

His eyes stopped as he glanced at the shelve beside his bed. He walked slowly towards the shelve. He took a framed picture from the middle part of his shelve.

The picture was all covered with dust that it didn't show anybody occupying the piece.

"It's been long here eh"
He wiped the picture's surface with his palms and it revealed a much younger and happier George grinning widely as he was kissed by his sister Tina on the cheek.

**flashback**

"George I got a new phone" Tina exclaomed exitedly as she barged into George's room suddenly.

George was engrossed, working on his assignment from school so he ignored her.

Twelve years old Tina scrunched her face as she hated to be ignored. She ran to George's study table and she packed all his books. She headed for George's room door as fast as her legs could carry her but George was to fast for her. He caught her as she was about to open the door.

He forced the book away from her grip and he muttered.
"What do you want?"
He knew if he didn't give her what she wants she won't stop disturbing him.

Tina's little mouth curved upwards widely. She quickly removed her new Iphone from her shorts.

"Dad got me a new phone and I wanted to use your picture with mine for the wallpaper"

George smiled.
"Lets get it done then"

They spent the remaining evening snapping pictures and chasing themselves all around the house, laughing happily.

When George and Tina were going through all the pictures they took earlier, they both selected the one where George was grinning widely and Tina kissed him on his cheek while looking at the camera for their wallpaper.

**end of flashback**

Drops of tears from George's both eyes dropped on the picture frame. He caressed Tina's smiling face with his left palm.

"George come let's go to the beach" Tim's loud voice echoed downstairs.

George snapped and quickly dropped the picture back to its place.

"I'm coming uncle , Let me just shower"
He shouted back.

He looked over at the picture again for a split second, His emotion waving through him.

"Just wait till I get them sis" He tore off his clothes angrily and he walked off into the bathroom.

Lara's pov

"Ok Ok Lara you can do this" I whispered to myself.

Everybody was out under the evening sun sitting around a round table except George. I wore my bikini but I put on a buttonless short sleeve shirt and a short just not to look too sassy.

I glanced over to my left to look at Sam. I wondered why George even brought her here.

Are they perhaps already dating? I asked myself inwardly.

"What" Sam eyed me when she realized I was looking at her intensely.

I couldn't hold it jn again so I moved closer to her and I brought my mouth close to her ear.
"What are you doing here?"

Her mouth curved up to a smile. She moved closer to me.
"I'm here to get closer to him"

I scoffed.
"Like he cares about you?"

"If he doesn't,then why would I be in his house"

My head processed what she said and I was about to answer her and she interrupted.
"Now would you look at that.....the hottest man I've ever seen"

I looked up and I saw George coming toward us from the house. I fell into a daze.

His hair was still wet so part of it covered his  eyes and he looked like a fallen angel. His whirt short sleeve shirt was unbuttoned all the way and it showed those well defined muscles that I have been dying to see so much. He also wore white shorts to show his long perfect legs.

My mouth must have been opened because my dad put some vegetables I don't know it's name into my mouth surprising me.

"Dad" I protested with the vegetable still fully in my mouth.

"I know he's very hot and you like him but your reaction was way too....."

I quickly picked a cabbage from one of the plates and I inserted it into his mouth making him unable to finish his words.

I smiled at my action as I looked around to find out that nobody noticed us.

George finally reached the table and he sat down just across me.

"So what did I miss?" George poured himself a glass of wine. He brought the glass cup to his mouth to drink then he paused, like he remembered something.

"Uncle where's Helen"

My ears shot up at the mention of a Helen.
Who is the hell is Helen again? I wanted to shout loudly.

Sam is still getting on my nerves, now a Helen again.

I picked up the wine filled glass cup in front of me and I gulped all the content in a flash.

I stood up abruptly which made the chair I was sitting on make a scratching loud sound and everybody looked at me. I put on the best smile I could mutter.
"Excuse me I have to use the bathroom real quick"

"Sir we are locked on our target and we await your orders sir"
A deep voice sounded from the phone.

I took a deep drag from my tobacco and I blew the smoke out from my nose.
"Yea kill him but make sure you clean up the place"

"Ok sir"

"And don't forget, make it look like a suicide"
