Chapter two

Can Things get any worse

Now that I had his phone, I didn't quite know whom to call. Of course my mom was never an option. My brother would have been the right candidate for the 'rescue me' operation but I didn't want to be caught up in the midst of a homicide. Running out of options, I settled for my half-baked best friend , Celine. Celine was in every way my opposite.I often wondered how I ended up having a brain-sick for a friend when I was possibly the sweetest girl on earth!

With shaky hands, I struggled to hurriedly put in Celine's telephone number and dialled it. I wasn't surprised when she picked up her phone at the last ring as I almost gave up on her. She didn't take it kindly when called in the middle of watching  any of her favourite tv programmes.
" He-llo-o  it's Na-talie... bring me... my my  medicine.. I'm at Shon's place... " I stuttered in sobs.
" Natalie? Are you drunk again? And who the hell is Shon? " Celine quizzed. 
" Shon..Drake's friend .. from the movies... " I explained.
" Look here Natalie, I don't remember  any Drake from any movie! And what medicine are you even talking about?!  For crying out loud my actor crush here is almost kicking some butts , I can't miss this ... And  I'm in no mood for pranks boo!" Celine shouted over the phone with obvious agitation.
Thank God the phone wasn't on louder speaker otherwise I would be in some deep shit with Shon!
"Siz ?? Please hurry now..." I purred. She wasn't even my sister but I needed her to be one. Otherwise how will she get me my non-existent medicine when we don't live under the same roof? 
" Baby girl, with the way you're sobbing you must be drunk! Call me when you sober up!" With that, the call beeped declined.
Such a sucker! She will dearly pay for this... And did she just call me a crying drunkard? It's the bitter truth but I only tipped once and I shouldn't  be regretting it now... Not now Natalie.. You've already have alot in your hands ...

" Hurry -up... I'm -dying, " I concluded the fake call with a dramatic puff even if my crude best friend had already abandoned me for some actor crush. I handed Shon his phone back as he carried me bridal style out of his apartment. My heart did some happy flips as I felt the night breeze hit my face. Did I just say night?
Can my day get any worse? Mom must be getting ready for me..
The thought of mom doing some press ups as she awaited for some goat's arrival tickled me. I would have loved to laugh about it but it wasn't accurately funny. It was actually possible that mom did some press ups before setting our  backsides ablaze. Otherwise how would you explain my good mannered self with a scarred backside?
Who would have guessed that Shon was that versatile as to watch Investigation Discovery programmes? May be when you look at his beetroot eyes but not the shape of his head. He appealed to me as an unidirectional mind.Not that broad you know,  especially when you consider that he was actually outsmarted by a newbie actress. Well it also happens that he watched the crime stories with his eyes wide open and his brain completely shut. Otherwise how would you explain him disposing my body at the roadside just afew meters from his home?
" wait for your sister here... " Shon said in a terrified voice. He then deposit me on the ground and run away wildly. There I was lying at the roadside in the cover of darkness.I should have been elated that I was safe. But I wasn't. How was I to explain to my mom that I was almost raped because of my stupidness? No, I  couldn't bring myself to narrate the ordeal to her. I would probably receive a heavier punishment.

Gathering some courage , I walked back home. The gate was locked and that alone announced the trouble that awaited me in there. The gate was never locked that early. I patted my backside just as to feel my nerves work for the last before they became temporarily dysfunctional after a thorough canning . I then  cleared my throat and called out for mom to open the gate while gently knocking at it.

I will start with an apology. This chapter was short but not to worry, I will make up to you in my next chapter. I hope you liked the new character Celine , because you will be seeing more of  her.

I also added a new tag to this story;#darkweb. This is to warn you that the story is to take a dramatic twist...

My next chapter will be on fire , so you better bring along your freezers.
