****Nina*** It's early June and Nina is already tired of the month and the year , well that's what happens when your having a shitty life . So crazy how things don't always go the way you want it. Just like this morning, she just wants to lay in bed all day and do nothing but she always go for her morning run on Saturdays. As usual, she's having a mental breakdown and already hallucinating and thinking rubbish. ' why is walking our only source of natural locomotion, like the heck can't we fly?' ' how many second will it take to walk to the bathroom and freshen up and why must the bathroom be the only place we can freshen up?' Nina isn't a morning person naturally but since she got that letter from her Mom, she began to think nonsense almost every morning when she wakes up. She heard an all familiar sound on the lamp stool - her ringtone - already swearing to tell off whoever is calling her this early,with an unhappy face she reached out to get her phone. the caller read 'Evvy😩❤️' , her one and only annoying brother " You I'll mannered brat!!!, calling me this early morning. what's wrong with you?". her tone was annoying in a playful way. " Good morning and I love you too" " Ewwwww, f**k off" " someone is grumpy this morning, didn't get enough sleep?" " I didn't, thanks to your mother " she replied sighing The other line went silent. " Evans like, this doesn't makes sense. what does mum mean she isn't our mother. what's that supposed to mean?" " I don't know ,I still can't believe it. She couldn't even man up and tell us and ran away like a teenager. " " Find Alexander Hudson, how am I supposed to find someone like that. I'm frustrated as it is, work is so stressful and then this!" " Nina it's been a year, what are we going to do?" " I don't know, I give up. she said in her letter that she's coming back. Till then" " I miss her, this is someone we've known since childhood " " me too Evvy . I miss her" Evans is a college student , he lives in the school dormitory and is mostly away from home. When he's home he stays with their mother at the family house but since she ran away, he hardly come home . Nina works as virtual assistant for a Tech company, she lives well enough with her salary. She shares a flat with her best friend June who is a sales manager for a clothing line. She loves her brother to bits, he's the only family she has now. " Well,I just to check up on my favourite sister" " Ha ha, you talk as if you have another sister. By the way ,how is college life treating you?" " Pretty good , they're pretty girls over here and I'm having fun" " Evans!!!, you're just 20" "And so?" Nina could feel hear her brother rolling his eyes and scoffing. " You have to concentrate on your studies and...." " Okay Mom ,I've heard you". he replied as he cut her off. " Bye Nina" " Bye baby bro". ' Oh s**t, my morning run" She staggered to the bathroom to freshen up , came back to the room to change into her jogging outfit. She tied her 'wavy Ginger coloured hair' into a bun. She takes her back pack and left her room. " I guess June is still sleeping, I better not wake her." She wants to take her mind off things and take a breadth of fresh air. Lol, who is she kidding. Take her mind off things my ass, her mind didn't clear shit ' What reason does their mother Jorja Warren have to have ran away ' ' Is Dad even our real Father'. Of course George Warren is their Father , considering the fact that Nina did a blood transfusion to save him when he had a ghastly motor accident which eventually took his life. After Lazily running around in the sports center for 2 hours, she decided to call it quits and go home. Entering her homely apartment - thanks to June- she got welcome by a sweet aroma of something being cooked. Walking into the kitchen, she saw her ' hot ,pretty and sexy best friend cooking, wearing nothing but Bra and Panties and red socks. Letting her waist length red hair free on her back. Nina and June are both tall at 5'6 , have an hourglass body shape, June is much curvier . Nina is lean and leggy, she could pass for a model. Both girls are pretty, with a pretty set of brown eyes. June is the wild bestfriend.Nina is cool and collected. " Oh my God ,June !! what are you doing?. You know this is so unhealthy. you didn't even cover your hair!!" " Hi Ginge, how's your morning run?" June asked unfazed on the fact that Nina is throwing a tantrum. She's addicted to calling Nina Ginge because of her hair color. " June what are you ? A child? If I'm not you best friend, I won't believe you're 26" " I'm in my house, who cares!" she responds while stirring whatever she's cooking and wiggling her ass. " I care , it's my house too. Coverup. I don't want to see your ass. "Why, you afraid you'd turn lesbian for me" " Ewwwwww, in your dreams. you wish" Both girls are having a fit of laughter. " Have a seat Ginge, I'll get your breakfast " " what did you make?" Nina asks while walking to the sitting room. she makes herself comfortable on the couch and switches the television on. " Stir fried pasta" June walks to the sitting room . "here you go". She hands Nina her plate of food. They eat in silence while watching a show on the television. the sound of slurpy sounds can be heard , mouth churning and spoon licking, credit to June .She's a good cook compared to Nina. "Have you heard from your Mum?" " Nope ,she ran away as far as her legas could take her" She replied . She felt tears at the back of her eyes. " Awww, Ginge don't cry" June replies as she sits close to Nina and hugs her. She bring Nina's head to rest on her shoulder as she pats her back. " I know it's been a year but I still don't understand why she left. I don't know what happened and why she said she's isn't our real mother. Is that even possible " " She'd come back and we'll find out why she left" " She better, because I have no plans to look for someone I know nothing about " " The Alexander?" " Yes" "We'll find him and if we don't the universe will bring him to us. " " I hope so. " she sniffles" Thank you June, you're the best " " I know right, world's doesn't best friend!!" she shouts raising her hands in the air. "I mean,Evans is so grown. he's taking this situation better than I am. he's not letting himself get bothered with it" " Nina , he's in college. Would you prefer he gets bothered with this and lose concentration in school " Nina gives June a glare and Nina brings her for a hug " That's not what I meant. You're right though. my mom abandoned us without looking back ." "Ginge, you think too much" June hugs her tightly. " June, you're squishing me, release me. your naked" "oops sorry Ginge. I better go put some clothes on, I don't want to be responsible if fall in love with me" " Dream on". Nina keps laughing. she loves her Best friend , there's never a dull moment with her.God bless her heart. " Ginge , Change of plans .I'm gonna take a nap . keep yourself busy by watching your K-dramas " " Me too. I need to freshen up . If you wake up before me,make sure to wake me up." "Alright" Nina enters her room and shuts the door . she undresses and walks to the bathroom to take a leisure bath, taking a bath is the only time Nina enjoys during the day. she's a bathroom singer, singing As it was by Harry styles as the water washes away her anxiety and nervousness. Nina knows everything will be fine , she can fee li but she can't help but be disturbed.
