DEBBIE'S APARTMENT
Whimpering sound of a lady in a small room could be heard with the lights off, sobbing increasing at each minute. Still in her sleep "Ahhh!" Debbie screams jolting out of her dream,beads of sweat on her forehead.
She sat up immediately on her bed using both hands to cover her face"i can't live like this" she said amidst her tears. Her junior sister barges into the room upon hearing her scream "sis what's wrong are you okay?"kate asked worriedly.
"It's 3am for fûck sake how can I be okay,when I keep getting this nightmares"she croaked. "It's going to be fine sis" kate cooed and sat on the bed giving her a hug and rubbing her back. After a while they both fell asleep in each others arms till the break of dawn.
"Kate!! Come down for breakfast" Debbie calls out to her sister. "just a minute sis" she answered, Kate walks to the dinner and drops her books on the table, debbie groans "c'mon I called you here to eat not to read books,you can do this later" she whined. Kate chuckles "I wasn't planning on reading em now and I just checked my email I got a scholarship into PRIMEVILLE COLLEGE"she squealed.
"Omg!! that's great news am so proud of you Kat" Debbie answered happily "come on let's eat before the food gets cold" she added. Kate looked at her sister with a warm smile and sighed she knew it wouldn't have been easy to get money for her fees into the college and it's her first year.
So she applied for a scholarship and lucky she got in,she doesn't wanna burden her sis. She's already been through a lot."Sis how do you feel" Kate asked. Debbie looks up from her meal and gave a short smile "I'm thrilled never doubted your-"
"Am not talking about that,I meant about your nightmares" she cuts in. Debbie smile drops and she sighs "Same old thing they always appear blur and i don't even know what they mean, or what to do. it's been eight years now kat, the same period mom and dad died" Debbie answered sadly.
Kate stretched out her hand to hold her sister's hand giving it a comforting squeeze "be optimistic big sis, everything would be fine" she reassured. Debbie gave her a short smile while nodding her head "Yeah, now come on Zara would be here any moment we need to get to the store"she replied.
Almost immediately they heard the sound of the front door opening and closing with preceding footsteps. " wow just great and here you guys are, relaxed and eating while I ran my ass down here thinking am late"Zara voiced out.
Both girls chuckled at Zara complains."Relax zar,sit and have breakfast with us" Debbie said. Zara rolled her eyes and scoffed "Well I can't say no to food" she replied and sat down to eat. "This taste so good" Zara said with her mouth full with the bacon and eggs.
Kate chuckles, "We need to leave I have got paintings to sell guys" Debbie said and grabs her bag they followed and walked out of the house locking the door behind them.
Boarded a cab that would take them downtown, cab driver dropped them off and took his cash. "Kate could you open the store for me please" Debbie said. Kate took the keys "sure no problem"she responded.
Debbie got a rental that she could use to keep and sell her paintings, that's the only thing she depends on to cater for her and her junior sis needs.
"So debs I wanna audition as a model for AJ STYLES company do you think I would get in?" Zara asked. "AJ STYLES? Haven't heard of that" Debbie shrugged. Zara looked at her with wide eyes "WHATT! that's like the biggest clothing and jewelry company, and it's owned by the Jefferson well the youngest billionaire in the country"Zara said dreamily.
Debbie rolls her eyes " so you wanna work there because of him?"she smirked. "what no way,you know I have always wanted to be a model" Zara replied. " Aren't you guys coming in?" Kate cut in on their Convo.
"We are coming"They answered simultaneously, "Anyway you need to see his pictures,you are gonna fall hard! girl" Zara said. Kate chuckles "I don't think sis is ever gonna fall for any guy,she doesn't even have a male friend" Kate said and debbie kicks her butt "what do you mean by that?huh" Debbie asked giving her a glare.
"Ouch sis that hurts but you know that I didn't lie" Kate whined touching her ass. Zara laughs " I just dropped my resume and few of my shoots on their website I hope I get in" Zara said with her fingers crossed. Something she does when she's been optimistic.
"Don't worry Zar u will get in" Debbie said with a small smile. Zara has been best friends with Debbie since they were teens, always seen together and she knows about Debbie's episodes.
"Thanks b" Zara replied. "I need to read my books now and you guys are distracting me with your talks" Kate said fixing my eyeglasses properly and sitting down by a corner. Both girls rolled their eyes.
"Wow you are taking this scholarship serious, congratulations on getting it" Zara chuckled and turned to Debbie "I am sleeping over at your place tonight" she added. "Do you seriously have to ask"debbie said with a bored look.
"Good day I would like to buy a painting" A lady walked into the store. Debbie's eyes lit up "Sure come with me" Debbie led the way. "We should get pizza on our way back home" Zara told the focused Kate and she only gave a thumps up, making Zara to shake her head.
