When The Sky Falls - Book 2 by N. Y. (i read books .txt) 📖

block space near my trash can on the floor.

 

 

I stayed hidden till the conversation was over.

 

 

"I’m thinking about having someone come over to my house next Thursday, because I really want to find out who this person is and why sheor he is here for a reason. I don't trust Sara."

 

 

I widen my eyes. I was surprised and shocked, that I couldn’t help buy bite my fingers to keep myself from saying anything to disrupt the conversation.

 

I never expected Vanessa and Lauren to be on my side.

 

 

I continued to listen.

 

 

Lauren really caught my attention, saying she didn’t like Sara because she’s just as confused and suspicious about her too.

 

I really don't want to get into their plan to catch Sara because I have someone else who’s doing that for me already.

 

I didn’t want to make it weird between Lauren and Vanessa, if they knew I hated and Sara too.

 

 

But instead, I want to give hints from time to time, so they know i’m on their side. 

 

 

"Okay, i’ll meet you at your house next Thursday so we can talk with this person, you say she’s good she better be. Because i’m hoping we find out why Sara’s here and what she wants."

 

 

After a minute, they whisper something. I couldn’t hear because they were talking softly.

 

I only managed to get out a few words.

 

See you there…hope she’s good……From Paris…Spy…Sara’s the target..Bye.

 

 

 

I didn’t bother to figure out what were the last things they said to each other, before they split up and went their own ways to their offices.

 

I only managed to hear Sara’s the target.

 

 

I got up from under the table and looked around suspiciously.

 

The only thing I thought about was the award show the whole way home.

 

 

Jacob had to car set up and ready to go when it was time.

 

While I got ready, he was downstairs in the kitchen making mac & cheese.

 

 

"Alright, i’m coming down Jacob, I hope you like my dress." I said.

 

 

Jacob looks over to me, when I walked down the stairs.

 

All he did was smile in awe, dressed in a nice white shirt and regular dark blue jeans.

 

"Okay Jacob, why are you wearing that. Your're staying home remember?"

 

 

He smiles.

 

"Yeah, I know. But you know when I watch award shows, I dress up nice to make it seem like i’m there myself. Even though i’m not gonna be there when you receive the award."

 

 

"Yeah and I know, but i’ll see ya when I get home. And no surprises, you know I hate that."

 

He smiles and gives me a kiss.

 

"No surprises."

 

 

He opens the door for me while I unlock the black car he’s been working on for a week.

 

It smelled like a new car and had comfortable seats.

 

 

Now I have to pick up Marybella, finally, after she decided to ride with me and Rikiki.

 

 

I knew Marybella would say yes.

 

I stopped in front to Rikki's house first. It was not far from Manhattan.

 

 

Rikki came out of her house in the dress, I was surprised.

 

Sha actually wore it.

 

 

She ran towards the car and sat in the passenger seat.

 

"Hey Elle, looking good mate!"

 

She fastened her seatbelt and we drove off to get Marybella.

 

And of course like anyone else in the world, she was waiting for me before I even picked up Rikki.

 

 

She walked over to the car and opened the passenger door.

 

"Get out, sit in the back!" she said.

 

 

That was all I heard come out of her mouth.

 

Rikki reacted qucikly.

 

"No, i'm sitting here whether you like or not."

 

Marybella scoffed for a second then turned back to Rikki again.

 

 

"For the last time Rikki, either get out of the passenger seat or you're riding your way to the award show on the roof."

 

She banged the roof of the car on the outside, with her hand. 

 

 

"Okay, Marybella just get in the back seat it's fine, at least you'll feel like royalty back there." I say.

 

A moment went by, then Marybella got in the car.

 

Rikki was smiling the whole time we were driving to FARELLE.

 

She got the passenger seat.

 

 

I spoke after a while.

 

"Rikki it's not funny." I said almost laughing.

 

"Hey, it's not funny let's just be glad you're not back here otherwise, I would have killed you before we arrive." Marybella stunts.

 

 

Rikki shuts up, smirking while I continue driving.

 

A few mintues go by, then Rikki and Marybella start fighting while I try to get their attention.

 

 

"Well, at least i'm not raised like a queen for instant, little miss Beyoncé!!"

 

Marybella gasps, as Rikki continues talking.

 

 

"Well at least I wasn't raised in the sunshine palace of the cabbage patch kids and the teletubbies as your siblings, ya slut!!" Rikki yells to Marybella.

 

They start yelling, raising their hands in the car. While Rikki started yelling queen towards Marybella.

 

"You're the queen, you're the queeen. Everybody praise down to the queen."

 

 

Rikki faked bowing down, while Marybella kept yelling slut to Rikki.

 

It went back and forth for a long time.

 

"Queen!"

 

"Slut!"

 

"Queen!"

 

"Slut"

 

I finally yelled getting their attention.

 

"Shut Up!!!!"

 

 

They both stopped yelling and looked towards me.

 

"Were here....and for goodness sake, Marybella you are a queen. Both of you." I say.

 

They're silent.

 

"And Rikki you are not a slut, but you are childish" I said.

 

Marybella started laughing at Rikki and she yells back to her.

 

"Shut up."

 

Marybella replies. "Whatever."

 

 

We all got out of the car went into the big auditorium.

 

Luckily they had valet parking.

 

Marybella led the way into the building.

 

 

They had fancy drinks being served and people chatting along the bar stools.

 

 

Someone grabbed a hold of me and took me to where they raised the curtains, for the show time.

 

I turned to see who dragged me and it was Lauren.

 

She then had her hand on my mouth, to keep me from shouting.

 

"Hey, sorry to bother you Elle. But I needed to talk to you...in private," she says.

 

 

She took her hand off my mouth to hear me answer.

 

"By dragging me here behind the stage?" I asked.

 

 

She shrugged and eased her face.

 

"Sorry?"

 

I turned around and search for Marybella. We had one mintue to get behind the curtains, because the show was starting.

 

"Where are you Bella?" I whispered.

 

 

Lauren walks out on stage with Vanessa.

 

 

The crowd cheers, as Marybella comes up next to me.

 

"There you are, I was waiting for you." I whispered louldy.

 

"Sorry Elle, I got caught checking out the ladies."

 

 

She said it in a cocky voice, sipping on a light up party drink.

 

"Bella you're not even lesbian." I say.

 

She turns to me.

 

"Pssshh. I knew that....so what's going on?" 

 

"First of all, you need to get rid of that drink." I replied.

 

 

I threw her fancy drink on the ground, then turned towards the now open curtains.

 

The clapping finally stopped, after the little conversation me and Bella had.

 

Lauren and Vanessa started talking for 2 mintues, as I started preparing to go on stage with Bella.

 

  

It was almost time for us to go on stage and I looked towards Marybella. 

 

"Bella why are you smoking now!" I whispered.

 

Not trying to make noise in the background.  

 

"Sorry, it's a habit and you now I can't control it when i'm nervous."

 

 

She started to light up her cigarette.

 

I threw it on the ground, stomping on the lit part, making sure it didn't smell back stage.

 

"Heeeyyy...you ruined my one way to 'calm down' town Elle." Marybella looked upset.

 

"Sorry but we're going on stage NOW!!"

 

 

Lauren introduced us then, then ran back towards where Bella and I were standing.

 

"Good luck with the show!" Lauren whispered.

 

"Don't suck out there." Vanessa whispered, following Lauren.

 

 

Me and Marybella walked out on stage.

 

I held her arm in mine as we walked to the micrphone.

 

I spoke into the microphone.

 

"Welcome everyone to the first annual FARELLE Award show, sponsored by Coca-Cola. We are your announcers for all the categories tonight and we hope that everyone feels comfortable being here, aren't we Marybella?"

 

Bella stood there for a moment, then answered, leaning into the microphone.

 

"I'm very happy to be here and I hope everyone else is too. Am I right?!"

 

 

Her had voice changed from nervous to fun-loving in a spilt second.

 

"Thanks for the answer Marybella and now for our first category. Representing The Writers and Design department: Best Employee." I say.

 

 

Everyone clapped.

 

"And our nominees are..." I start.

 

 

Marybella excitedly opened the envelope as she signaled the drum roll.

 

We looked at the card.

 

"Our nominees are....Marcus Jones, Jeff Cantilla, Lana Underdorfette and Rikki Ambers!!"

 

 

Everyone cheered and clapped.

 

"Best of luck to our nominees!!" Marybella yelled in the microphone.

 

The claps ended and everyone sat down.

 

We went back stage and watched as each and every one of the nominees come up.

 

 

Chapter Eight: No Standing Ovations

  

 

Marcus was the first to come up and say his speech, which bored the crap out of me.

 

 

Marybella snuck behind the bar to grab us drinks, as Marcus made his long speech looking at the camera and making a presentable face.

 

 

"Ughh! I can't believe Marcus got nominated for Best Employee." I said, looking at his fancy suit.

 

He probably rented it.

 

Lauren pushed beside me, fitting into the tiny space that me and Marybella shared.

 

"I know right, I hate Marcus so much." Lauren said giving a face.

 

 

Vanessa came up beside me to the left, while Lauren was on my right.

 

"Heym at least I appreciate Marcus, okay. He's done a very good job for me since last year."

 

Lauren and I scoffed at Vanessa's answer.

 

"Oh trust me. I know I hate Marcus too, that boy can be annoying sometimes."

 

 

We turn to Vanessa with knowing looks.

 

Vanessa turned to us.

 

"What? I can't talk about my assitant behind his back? Hhhmm?"

 

 

We turned back to listening and looking to the right, hearing Lana make her speech.

 

Vanessa interuppted.

 

"Mmmm, Lauren we shoud go get more drinks and talk about Marcus' secrets! Shhhhhh. Don't tell Marcus."

 

 

I could tell she was talking to Lauren then directly to me, when she said don't tell Marcus.

 

Her breath consisted of alochol and vodka, when she said the last part in my face.

 

Lauren and Vanessa rushed off back to get drinks, while I actually wanted to listen to Lana's speech.

 

 

I listened carefully behind the curtains sticking my head out a little.

 

 

"I want to thank the Acadamy for making me smart, and that people can make their own clothes."

 

She raised up two thumbs in front of herself.

 

 

Lana was....something

 

"I also want to thank Elle Woods for being the best mentor to me. Even though we rarely talk, or that fact that she's my mentor. She fixed my dress in a ready fashion emergency and she's nice and caring to everyone."

 

 

She looks down at the podium, as everyone listens at her touching speech.

 

I felt touched too, because she cared about me.

 

She finally spoke after a second.

 

 

"I choose and nominate Elle Woods for Best Employee."  

 

"Huh?" I say silently.

 

I didn't know whether to go up there or not. But instead, Rikki came out and did her speech while Marybella returned up with only one drink in her hand.

 

"Here drink it."

 

 

I looked at Marybella, she seemed pretty much the same, but drunk.

 

I knew at least at one point she would get drunk.

 

"Come on Marybella, really you choose to be drunk now."

 

 

She nodded and waited for our call back as the nominees waited near the stairs, beside the stage.

 

Me and Marybella walked down the stage and announced the winner.

 

 

"Okay, and now for the official winner from the Writers and Design department: the Best Employee is......"

 

 

Everyone stayed silent and looked to me, ready to here the winner. 

 

Marybella interuppted as soon when I was about to announce the winner.

 

"Rick James."

 

She laughed looking down at everyone.

 

I pushed Marybella to the side.

 

 

"Bella I hope you know that we're talking to a bunch of famous and important people out here, so please
