LOVE THE WAY I AM

CHAPTER 47

Chapter 47:
     ★★BELLA★★ 
  My cousin was already leaving her house when I arrived. "Hey Bella!" she yelled from a far on seeing me. "
"Bunny, where are you going? I'm here to meet you," I twitched my face. "I have to leave for work, you didn't tell me before you came, are you alright?"
      After explaining every thing to her, he had no money, Just my bad luck. I have to keep searching.

    Walking miserable out of her home, I met that girl from yesterday "Alex."

      "Heh Bella! You're here? Why?".... Her ...'why' confused me, am I not allowed to be here?
   "Just passing,"  I said.
"Oh... I thought you came to visit me," She laughed.
"I don't know your address," I laughed too.
"Well I live here... Want to at least visit me?"
She is so nice, I realy like her... I mean so much.  "Yeah, I'm ready." Found out her house is not so far from my cousin.
   I followed behind as she led the way to her house.
"Want anything to drink?" She said as she opened all her windows. Does she not live here? So much dust. The house is a bit stuffy, her clothes on all the couch. She removed some heap of clothes from one chair, and asked me to sit.
    "Feel at home friend."
She brought two cans of drink, gave me one and took the other. "So, explain."
"Ok," I coughed from the choking drink, "what did you put in here?"
  "Nothing, you opened it yourself."
    "ok ok." I took in some air before speaking.  "So, I started his job a few days ago. My step sister also work there too. And in lesa than a week, I've been accused for stealing, you know how much?"
    "No," She shook her head.
"14,000. They said that much money which I can't afford is mossing, and all evidence point at me."
"And what did you do? Did you try to clear yourself?"  "A bit... I tried, but never took it serious. But its so long now, nothing  said, will be taken. And now, I've been given two days to pay back the money, or rather, I spend my days in jail. And i don't have a dime with me."

     "Poor you. I'm pennyless now, canbt help you, don't you have a job? Take a loan." She said.

     "No, I'm also jobless." I sighed. "And homeless, I live alone" I told her.
   "What job do you do?" I asked.
"My job?" She grinned. "Want to know my job, i don't have a reputable job, but I live well."
She drew me closer and whispered in my ear. Her job is dirty. "Haa..." I hold my mouth.
"Anyway, if you want its the only way I can offer you help. One night, then act like it never happened," She winked.
  "No no, I don't need that type. I will keep searching then. "Bella C'mon... Or do you have a boyfriend, you can ask for help?" I look at the two brothers at my side... "No, No i dont have." Then no one will feel bad. Its your life though, no one will question you and you never have to tell this to anyone."
   "I don't want all those men to touch me, too many are perverted and disgusting." I told her, thinking of it gave me somw shivers, not to talk of the real thing.  She held my shoulder, "You can let It out of your mind, like It never happened. After my first time, I let it go, And now, I don't let it hurt my mind, I'm free as a bird." She said smiling..
 
   "After now, pray you don't land in any more trouble so you stay away from this type of job, like I said, I'm penny less, I could have lend you some money. 14,000 is not so small. and Also, Why didn't you disagree. You took so much time to give him a befitting reply, and so much time means you're the thief, now you have no other option than to pay." She said.
"My head was so spinning at that time, I didnt take his word serious."
"You're so innocent Bella" she held my face, "stop letting people rule you because you're innocent."
  "Bye! I have to go, see you tomorrow...!"
    "Come early tomorrow,  I have a lot of work to do on you"
I giggled, "who's going to accept me, unlike you I have no beautiful dress, I will scare them all away."
  "Don't worry, I'm here, I will lend you mine" she said.

      Trying to enter the bus my phone starts to ring... Brad is calling.   
      "Hello-"
  "Turn around," He said.  He was standing at the other side of the road with his phone on his ear, looking at me. "Bella, come over." he said. I really do not want to talk to him, he shamed me.  I got on the bus, took a seat at the back with the phone still on my ear while looking at him, he looked more disappointed.
   As the bus started, he was about to say something then I hung up the call. He looked at me from the window.

       ~Bella, is this how we should be now?
                                 - Braden.

  I deleted his message and switched off my phone. I rather not talk to him.  I try as much as I can holding myself till the bus stopped...
“I turned a cry baby over the last few months”
