Where are you Chapter #2

                         Bitter Truth Of Life

[The next day the guys woke up and found themselves in Steve’s apartment. All of them were confused and try to remember everything. They called their parents and told them not to worry about them. On the other hand they couldn’t find Steve.  ]

Man what happened last night; said Daniel.

All I remember is we went to the club with the girls… wait the girls where are they; said Ronald in a worried voice.

*Carter comes with a paper in his hand*

We’re gonna be in trouble. It’s a note from Steve that we got a little too out of control and… he’s gone to give Harley the letter the reason we got into this mess; said Carter.

Oh no we’re in trouble big time; said Ronald.

[The three boys took a cab and went to the Star-Locks apartment.

Meanwhile Steve had already reached and met Harley]

What are you doing here; asked Harley.

I wanted to apologize for my behaviour yesterday. I should’ve never said all that; said Steve in a polite voice.

Oh I know where this is going. Your little act won’t score me; said Harley closing the door.

*Steve blocks the door*

Wait please can we talk; said Steve.

What the heck is your problem? First you call me a gold digger, than come to my door to apologize, and now you want me to go with you. Who do you think you are; asked Harley?

[Steve sees his friends getting out from a cab and takes Harley’s hand and starts running towards an alley]

There they are get them; shouted Ronald.

[The three boys run after Steve and Harley, but can’t catch up with them. Harley on the other hand does nothing and keeps on going with Steve. Eventually they lose the boys and reach a restaurant downtown.]

Well that was some run; said Steve excitedly.

Seriously; said Harley with a frown.

What’s wrong; asked Steve and Harley shows him that he’s still holding her hand’.

You really got some guts to run around the town with me; said Harley.

Well I don’t see anything wrong in that; said Steve when he sees Harley take sunglasses and a cap from a sleeping man.’

Sure you obviously don’t even know who I am; said Harley.

Wait up a minute did you… you just stole that man’s stuff; said Steve.

Did I have a choice; said Harley.

And could you please walk slowly; said Steve and Harley stops.

Well you wanted to talk so walk and talk; said Harley.

Okay but why are you hiding yourself; asked Steve.

Because I’m a celebrity and if someone sees me with you I will be the next talk on the internet that I have a boyfriend; said Harley.

Oh yeah I forgot but you can clear that up right like you obviously move with a lot of boys; said Steve.

Here we go again… I knew you couldn’t take it much longer. All you stupid boys are the same; shouted Harley.

No I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant. And I assure this is no act as you say it is; said Steve.

Well then prove it; said Harley.

Okay what should I do; Steve asked’

Try and resist the attention; saying this Harley took of her disguise and pretty soon people started to gather around.

[As the crowd got bigger things got a little out of hand and Harley took Steve’s hand and the next minute they were running around town.

Meanwhile in the Star-Locks apartment]

Where did that perverted boy take Harley; asked Eve holding Ronald from his collar.

Come on Eve let go of him how would he know; said Luna trying to get Eve away from Ronald.

Is your whole group full of psychos; asked Carter.

How dare you say that; asked Liz in rage’

Well its true. I thought you’d be more well-mannered than this; said Carter.

Oh your dead; said Liz getting on top of Carter and beating him up.

Hey let go of him; said Daniel pulling Liz away.

How dare you touch her; said Eve punching him in the face.

[And before anyone could do something else all of them were fighting when Luna suddenly shouted]

STOOOOP; Luna shouted.’

Are you okay did this Ronald say something to you? Tell me so I could make soup out of his bones; said Eve looking towards Ronald like a tiger looking at his prey.

NO he didn’t. Look at this post. Harley the voice of Star-Locks found in town running from fans with her boyfriend; said Luna showing everyone the picture.

Wait a minute in this picture Harley’s holding Steve’s hand which proves that she is the one who took him; said Daniel.

But why are they even together; said Liz.

Who cares at least now we can wait for them in peace to get back to answer; said Carter.

[And with that Luna gets the first aid kits and with Ronald’s help covers up their friends’ wounds.]

*Back to Steve and Harley*

How long are we supposed to run; asked Steve.

Well I think that’s enough torture’ and she runs into an alley and grabs one of the staircase and swing Steve in through the window and then jumps in herself.

Why would you do that to me. Look I told you I’m guilty for what I said…; Steve had said and before he could continue Harley interrupts.

I’m sorry. Looks like you weren’t lying; said Harley sitting beside him and giving him a glass of water.

*Steve hurriedly gulped up all of the water*

Now what was it that you wanted to tell me; asked Harley

Umm… well actually I wanted to give you this; said Steve handing her an envelope.

What’s this; asked Harley taking out a CD.

It’s from your parents. I found it in Ronald’s jacket and accidentally watched it; said Steve.

You what…; said Harley in a faint voice.

Look I know I shouldn’t interfere but they really need you and look up set for what they did. I don’t know what happened but you should try giving them a chance; said Steve.

*Harley stands up and starts laughing*

What’s wrong… I didn’t say anything funny; asked Steve confused.

Man you are some great actor. For a minute I almost believed that you were not lying to me. But no your just one of those actors my parents pay; said Harley.

No you’ve got it all wrong it’s not like that; said Steve but Harley didn’t listen and jumped out of the window and took a cab back home.

*Harley gets home and starts knocking hard on the door*

Who is it; asked Luna opening the door.

There’s a cab downstairs pay the driver; saying this Harley went into her room.

Where is Steve and what just happened; asked Liz.

Harley is not in good shape; said Eve as Steve enters.

Steve where were you and what happened; said Carter as all his friends go towards him.

I’m fine let’s just go home. Your parents would be worried; said Steve going down.

[Ronald drops off all his friends at their places and go back home. On the other hand the girls tried a lot to talk to Harley but she wouldn’t respond or open the door]

Leave her alone she will come out soon; said Eve.

But she’s…; said Luna and Liz takes her away.

All of this is my fault. If only I would’ve not been so desperate to meet Ronald; said Luna.

No it’s my fault I could’ve stopped you guys but I went along; said Liz.

If only we understood why Harley always warned us; said Eve as all three of them hug each other.

*In Steve’s apartment*

What did I say that was so wrong? I didn’t want her to be uncomfortable…… Why do I feel worried for her? What is this feeling; thought Steve.

[Harley for the first time in a long time sees the message her parents sent her. She takes out the CD and insert into her laptop, and the video starts playing]

Hey Harley it’s me your Mom. I know you’re quite broken from what we did to you but I promise we have changed. Things haven’t been the same either please comeback; said Harley’s mom.

How’s daddy’s little girl doing eh… Just wanted to let you know that I go you that little makeup kit you wanted. Look its right here; said Harley’s dad.

Hey little sis it’s me Tom. Just wanted to let you know that I left everything for you and your bout’ to be an aunt soon; said Harley’s Brother Tom.

Hey Linda wanna say something to your big sis; asked Harley’s Mom.

I’m on the phone; said Linda.

Come home soon darling Bye bye; said Harleys’ Dad.

*Video ends*

Sure things aren’t same Mom. And Dad you mixed up your girls. And seriously Tom for the sixth time; said Harley to herself.

[Harley goes out of her room and Luna runs and hugs her]

Are you okay Harley; asked Eve.

I sure am after that hug full of love; said Harley laughing.
