Levi walked out of the hall with Jake, his eyes scattered around his environment as he searched for Brittany. He could not see her and the more he searched, the more his heart broke. Did something happen to her? Why was she not there?"Where the hell is she?! You told me she went outside!" He charged at Jake."I told you that she is by the car or inside of it. We parked at the parking lot. Do you want to go there or do you still want to walk around here being frantic?" Levi did not wait to answer him. Of course he did not understand how he was feeling. How could he when he had never had someone to care for in this manner? Levi did not blame him for one minute. He walked. No, ran down to the parking lot. Desperate to see the woman he loved and ensure that everything was okay with her."He doesn't take sarcasm well when it comes to her, does he?" Steven asked Jake as they walked slowly behind him. "No, he doesn't. I have been his best friend for years and I can tell you that I have
Levi rushed to his car that was packed against the wall. He did not see Brittany outside but he did see some figures of someone inside the car from the distance he stood. He prayed silently that it should be Brittany. At least, knowing that she is safe and sound in that manner would bring him peace like never before. He did not even reach the car when the car door opened and Brittany walked out. Levi could feel the worry in his heart wash away. Finally, she was safe. But something about the look in her eyes did not show excitement. It showed fear. "Brittany, what is it?" He asked. "Oh well well well, it's so nice that you get to join the party," Levi heard the voice of a man come from inside the car. He kept quiet and watched as the man got out and showed his face. "Dustin!" He said angrily."Hello, Levi. How are you? I must say I am so happy that you remembered me!" "What the actual hell do you think you are doing?" He said calmly. Somehow the fact that he had a gun pointed
"You can't touch me," Dustin said while taking slow steps backward. It was clear that the young man was shaking and shivering. He knew he had gotten himself into so much trouble and now he would have to pay the price for being reckless. "Get away from me!" He shouted as the woman kept approaching him. She had a predator's smile on her face. Like she had been haunting him down for months and now, she finally had him in her clutches."Look, I won't be afraid to ruin you if you so much as try to touch me!" He screamed. "Oh if you so badly want to hurt me, why then do you keep going back?" The woman said sarcastically. "Be a man, stand and face me!" "I was raised to not hit women. If I wasn't raised that way, I swear you would get a serious lashing right now!" He tried to keep a stern voice but the fear he felt did not allow him to. It was clear that his voice was breaking and he couldn't hide it. "So let me get this right, you were raised to not hit a woman but they had no problem w
"What did you just say?" Dustin asked surprised at his words. "Yeah, what did you just say?" Brittany asked as well. She did not know much about Dustin but the little that she knew from what Levi used to say, she understood that he was a huge pain in her ass and he was the kind of person that he would never want to work with. So why would he want to give him a job? "I don't understand what's going on!" She said. "Well, it's because of me that Dustin here isn't working and it's obvious that he desperately needs a job. If he didn't, he would not have to go about doing all these things." "Exactly. If he can be as terrible as trying to kill me, then you really think when he gets into your company he won't try to hurt you? Levi have you even thought about what you are planning on doing?" Brittany asked. "Well you see, that's the problem. You think I am going to employ him to work for me but I won't." "You won't?!" Dustin asked. He was already dreaming of how amazing he would be to be
"Good, now please leave. I don't want to have to pour out anything like frustration on you." "When should I expect the letter from you? The letter of appointment for the job?" He added when he saw the look of confusion on Levi's face. "I will forward it to your email after I have spoken with the person involved. Now if you don't mind, I will love it if you could please leave." "He can't actually leave unless you expect him to crawl out of here," Brittany added. "Well that won't be a bad sight to behold," Sasha said with folded arms and a huge smile on her face. "Okay. That's right. Miss," Levi drew Sasha's attention "I don't know if you would be okay with helping him out till he get a bus or an ambulance or something?" Immediately, Sasha gasped. "Of course I would mind. Do you really expect me to pick up this thing and actually make him go outside? Now that is beyond me!" "Okay, Sasha just do it , okay? Look, Levi can't take him outside. He is bleeding, as a result of you shoot
"Why are you so shocked?" Levi asked. "Well maybe because I never imagined you being okay with it! I thought it would be something that you would scorn on and scold me for doing!" "Let me get this straight. You actually think that I would scold you for looking after me and trying to keep me from harm? Why would you think that?" "You made it look like it was only your job to ensure that we were protected. I actually never believed that you would be okay with someone else trying to protect you. Seemed like you would get upset because it would be a sort of me stepping on your right as a man and that would hurt your ego.""What? No, listen I am not upset with you at all. As a matter of fact I am very excited for this. Listen, I have a lot of things that are actually bothering me this period and I know that I may have taken some of the pressure out on how I was planning this but what you did is a wonderful thing and I don't think you should feel sad about it. I really do appreciate this
"Levi!" Brittany stuttered and begun moving backward. She had not expected to see him at the parking lot. She believed that he was long gone by now. And she most especially did not expect to see him with that little brat he called a friend. "Are you threatening my friends?" Levi asked her with a clear voice. "Umm, what? No, of course I am not!" She lied. She did not know why she lied. After all, she hated Levi. She could not care about whatever he thought at all but she could not help herself. She just couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth. "Okay, so that means that you did not just tell him that his entire family is in danger because he refuses to side with you?" "And so what if I did?" She answered back and Levi finally saw the girl he knew and hated so much come alive. "Listen I am not here for games. Yes, I have a group of men waiting at his parents doorpost. They are so ready to kill them and get everything over with. All I have to do is make one phone call." "Okay,
"And what exactly do you think you are doing?" Levi asked her as he saw her pull out her phone "Oh, I am about to make a call that will leave all of you shattered. Since you believe that you can actually allow this tramp to talk to me anyhow she wants to and I won't say a word, then I have to show you that I am not the kind of woman people talk to anyhow. I will teach you people how to respect me if you don't want to learn on your own." "You are so stupid," Brittany told her. "People are not taught how to respect someone. Have you never heard the saying that "respect is reciprocal?!" Of course, how can you have heard it?! I am sure your time spent in school was wasted following everything that wore a trousers looking for where you can sip money that you did not work for from." "You talk a big game now but when you spend the next hours crying and comforting your dear friend here, don't say I did not warn you," Susan threatened. "Now for the very last time Jake, are you going to join
