7 Heaven's

Chapter 3

Alexis was busy with her packing as she would be leaving tomorrow. Nevaeh was a little blue but was chuffed to have Alexis go to NYC university. Alexis sent her a message saying that she wanted Nevaeh to send her off at the airport.

Summer had begun and it was getting hot and humid and this part of the year seven heavens sold the most perfumes with their Summer launch. At this part of the year the media gives most attention to the McCoy family and The White family who own Seven Heavens.

Nevaeh dressed up, wearing an asymmetrical black top paired with mid waist blue jean and vintage ankle boots. She tied her hair in a top bun, wore her mask and hoop earrings to top up the whole look, it was done effortlessly but made it look fashionable. Grabbing her sling bag, she stormed out of her room and ran into Natalie.

"Hey girl. you don't have a flight to catch, do you?" deadpanned Natalie stopping her in the way.

"Some stuff to collect from Jessie's, it is gonna be closed for the next few days...ahh I must hurry!" Nevaeh panicked. "oh! could you perhaps give me a ride?" pled Nevaeh like a seven year old.

Jessie's is a small fashion boutique run by a 80 year old lady Mrs. Gold. She had been planning to close it for a while as she doesn't have the energy to sit all day. Nevaeh had been vising Jessie's since she was 11 years, to buy different fabrics and other designing articles. she could not find any other store which offered her good materials at a fairly low price. though Nevaeh was from a well of family she had to save money to buy these as at that time he dad wanted her to be a chemistry major so that she could join Seven Heavens.

Natalie agreed to drop her at jessie's which was surprising but Nevaeh did not overthink as to why she was being nice to her out of the blue. Fashion was something which always has been a get away remedy or a stress buster. whenever she had anything to do with fashion or designing, she seems to be in good spirits.

"Look heaven! i'm sorry about the other day." murmured Natalie.

none of this mattered anymore to Nevaeh thanks to her mother, who had given her hope and confidence to achieve what she wants no matter what was ahead of her. Right now she was thrilled to be leaving Ottawa and moving to Toronto.

Natalie dropped her at jessie's and drove off and Nevaeh had no idea as to where she was off. Nevaeh entered the shop searching for Mrs. Gold.

"Mrs. Gold? you there?" Nevaeh called out.

"ummm she might be in the store room, let me just grab these." Nevaeh kept talking to herself and sometimes she hummed some songs.

she was just glad that Mrs. Gold had not closed the shop yet. she quickly collected her pile of fabric which was packed and ready to be taken.

"Thank you Mrs. Gold! Have a nice day, enjoy your vacation with your grandson..." Nevaeh slurred leaving the store.

Just before she could leave she spotted Mrs. Gold seated on her rocking chair knitting a sweatshirt which was probably for her grandson whom she was meeting for the first time.

'How sweet can she be' Nevaeh thought smiling to herself.

She walked towards her to scare her from behind. She tip toed towards her and gave a little jerk. Nevaeh jumped back seeing Mrs. Golds head fall to her chest.

'No Nev! you are overthinking she is not dead. It cant be, she might be pulling a prank on you. She is fine, she might have fallen asleep. yes! makes sense. SHE IS JUST ASLEEP.' denied Nevaeh calming herself.

But once again her fear became the truth, she could not deny want was already written. she felt devastated and Mrs. Gold's death left her cold.

'She couldn't meet her grandson, couldn't smile for a little longer, couldn't hold him in her hands, couldn't play with him and couldn't even say goodbye.' Nevaeh stood motionless while the paramedics came in and checked to confirm her death.
