Chapter 22
“Get out of here !” Dorothy heard someone scream from inside of Mia’s house.
She wanted to go with her to school so she decided to go to her house.
Dorothy went to the door and knocked, without warning the door was suddenly opened and an angry Mia shouted “what do you want? !”
“Mia” Dorothy called.
Mia looked at the person she shouted at and realize that it was her best friend Dorothy.
“Miame who is that?” someone asked from inside and came to the door.
“Taylor ?” Dorothy said and looked at Mia, she couldn’t face Dorothy and she looked at the floor.
“What the fuck are you doing here Taylor?!” Dorothy barked at him.
“And how is that your business ?” Mia come let’s go inside” he said and held Mia’s hand.
Dorothy looked at Mia to see her reaction but Mia just continued looking at the floor.
“Mia !” Dorothy called but she just stood there without talking. Dorothy could not so she dragged Taylor inside the house and locked the door.
“You are going to die today” Dorothy said and rushed at him to gave him a punch on the face.
Taylor fell on the floor and Dorothy went to him and started punching him repeatedly at his face.
“Please Doro don’t hurt him” Mia pleaded and wanted to open the door but it was locked. She went to her neighbour and begged them to come and open the door before Dorothy will kills Taylor.
Two of her male neighbours followed her and came to her door. They could hear the sound of beating and someone crying, one of them immediately used his leg to kick the door open and they all rushed inside.
They took the rage filled Dorothy off Taylor’s body and took her outside. Taylor’s face was all swollen and blood was gushing out from the numerous cuts on his face. Mia looked at the wounded Taylor and asked the other guy to take him to the hospital and rushed outside.
Dorothy was sitting on a chair at the porch and Mia’s neigbour was calming her down.
“You can now go, Alex” Mia told the the guy and he went inside the house to help the other guy.
“I am so sorry Doro” Mia began.
“You are sorry? ! , I thought you said you were over him !” Dorothy shouted at her.
“I truly am, we were just discussing” she replied.
“I bet the discussion later led to sex?” Dorothy asked.
“No !, yes it did” Mia replied.
Dorothy stood up from the seat “are you out of your fucking mind Mia?, this is someone that cheated on you with your stepsister !” Dorothy shouted.
“I know but he has changed” Mia replied.
“He told you that right?” Dorothy asked.
“Yes and I believe him” she replied.
“Well believe me also my good friend, he hasn’t and he is going to break your heart again. Get that into your mind !” Dorothy shouted the last statement at her.
“It is not my fault I have bad luck with men, as my friend you should be consoling me not scolding !” Mia shouted back and went inside her house.
“Mia ! Mia !” Dorothy called but she totally ignored her.
Dorothy left Mia’s porch and walked down the street with no destination in mind.
“You can wash up in my bathroom” an old woman watering flowers outside her house told Dorothy.
“OK” she replied and the old woman took her the bathroom.
Dorothy went to sink and started washing her bloody hands and clothes. After she was done, she came out into the woman’s living room.
“Have some coffee” the woman said handling her a cup of coffee.
“Thanks” Dorothy said taking the cup from her.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Come and sit here” the old woman said and led her to the couch and they both sat down.
The old woman stirred her own cup of coffee and said ” you know you and Mia are just like this coffee” the woman began.
Dorothy looked at her confused.
“Let me explain it to you, Mia is the coffee and you are the sugar that adds sweetness to it, without you she will be bitter” she said.
“Even though the sugar neutralize some of the bitterness, there is a hint of bitterness that the sugar does not know about” she finished.
“Thank you so much ma” Dorothy said dropping the cup of coffee on the table and rushed out of the house.
“You didn’t even drink the coffee” the woman called at her but she was already gone.
Dorothy rushed to Mia’s house and knocked on the door, the door opened and it was one of her male neighbour that stopped the fight.
“Mia has left for school” he told her.
“Thanks” Dorothy said and ran down the street to the bus stop.
The last bus that was going to their school was about leaving.
“Hey ! stop !” Dorothy yelled at the moving bus.
The students inside the bus asked the driver to stop and he did, Dorothy rushed into it and it drove off.
When the bus stopped at their school bus stop, Dorothy and the other students paid the driver and got out. She then ran into the school, she went to Mia’s Classroom but she was not there.
Then she remembered Mia’s favourite spot at the school and went there.
Mia was at the rooftop listening to music with her headphone when Dorothy came there. Dorothy went to she was seated and sat down with her.
“Hey” Dorothy said.
“Hey” Mia replied.
“I am so sorry about what happened this morning” Dorothy apologized.
“It is okay, I am the one to be blamed” Mia said.
Dorothy held her hand and said “no it is not your fault, we should blame it on love it makes one to do crazy things”. Mia chuckled softly and replied “it sure does”.
Suddenly Dorothy’s phone rang and she picked it up “are you still free by 2pm?” Calvin asked.
“Yes but Mia will be coming with me” she replied.
“It is fine” Calvin replied and hung up the call.
