I’m Dedicated To You

“Drugs?” I asked, raising my eyebrow, “But I don’t even do drugs,” I say.

“But you are a suspect in the starlight club drug case,” he says, and I can’t help but laugh.

“Are you going to go this far?”I asked, turning to look at the spoiled young master and he smirked wickedly.

“You should be careful you don’t want to end up like me, “I say, looking at the newly signed artist I didn’t get her name and I walked out with the policemen.

Going out of the building in the company of policemen raises questions among the workers in the company and I can’t help but feel sad.

“Wow, she is indeed doing drugs,” Man 1 says.

“It’s still just a speculation and it’s not yet proven, “Man 2 says.

“I think this is the falling of an angel,” Man 3 joined in.

“Stop saying that about my angel, don’t taint her reputation, “Man 2 defended.

Georgina was escorted outside the Tukes group but she was faced with tons of cameras that almost blinded her from the reporters.

“Do you do drugs?” “Is the scandal true?” “Is it true your company is firing you?” “Why are the police arresting you?” “Are you going to be acquitted?”.

The reporters asked so many questions and I felt so suffocated by the overwhelming questions. I was escorted into the police van despite the struggles of the reporters to interview me but I am sure even without me saying anything I have already given them different headlines.

On getting to the police station I was detained and I was examined, different drug tests were carried out on me which the police were expecting me to make a fuss about but I didn’t and they were surprised. I didn’t throw a tantrum and I also didn’t complain about any injustice.

“Miss Grey,” one of the policemen called me and I looked at him “We are sorry about the arrest,” he said looking at the floor.

“Why are you sorry,” I asked looking puzzled.

“Your test results are clean and we don’t see a reason to keep you, so you can call your manager to come and pick you up,” he says.

“Hmmm so you mean I can go home now,” I asked.

“Yes “he affirmed.

“But I don’t have a home I can go to, “I say and he looked at me puzzled “because I am very sure my house is crowded already by reporters and I can’t call my manager because I am no more a signed artist for the company she works for” I added looking at the station roof lifelessly and the detective can’t help but look at me pitifully and I hate that look the most.

A scandal may just be a revelation news to the public but to an artist or the person involved it can cost them everything. An artist might lose everything he or she has been building overnight because of a scandal. it can ruin a successful career and sometimes it makes most of them suicidal but people don’t care about it at that time because they just want to vent their frustration and anger on someone that person they think is perfect when they are also not.

The detective can’t help but look at the helpless girl because he also knows that she is innocent before her arrest. After all, her entry to the club and her vacation out of it, and the time speculated discreet enough drug they also checked her call history and they saw the call from her manager asking for help but it’s like someone is out to get her because a lot of news is circulating is not just about public sentiment but it’s like someone is out to get her.

“Erm erm,” the detective clears his throat. “Did you have anyone that you can go to stay with,” he says, searching my eyes. “Mr. Police, are you my fan?” I asked innocently and the man looked flustered “I am sorry I shouldn’t have asked that, “I say laughing out loud “But if you are my fan you should know that I am an orphan, and where can an orphan possibly go when she is in crisis,” I say with a sad smile and the man avoided my eyes.

“Can I please borrow your phone, sir? I think I forgot mine at the apartment say forming the best smile I have. “Yes yes,” the detective says, stuttering , wondering why she can still smile in this kind of situation.

I logged into the internet trying to see how much damage the scandal has done to me, I saw that I already lost a large number of followers and I also saw the headlines about me, and my body can’t help but turn cold.

“THE DEVILISH ANGEL” “THE ACTRESS THAT TAKES DRUGS LIKE FOOD” “THE UNHOLY SAINT” THE FALL OF THE EMPRESS” and many more headlines that I can’t read. I clicked on one of the headlines and scrolled to the comment section and I read different comments from people.

“savage queen: wow didn’t know that GG is that kind of person I’m so ashamed of her”.

“yourboyfriend’sbitch: with all this going on if I am the one I will just go and die”.

“devilrecainartion: GG go and die”.

“she must be so shameless to be still breathing” a user commented.

After reading some of the comments online I know that the scandal has taken a lot from me and my brain keeps repeating one of the comments in my head and I can’t help but also thought if death is the best thing to do, someone snatched the phone from me and I quickly snapped out of the daze I am in.

“Are you ok?” he asked and I nodded cheerfully at him and he got suspicious because my expression doesn’t match my former one “You shouldn’t have logged into the internet the reporters are just spurting lies when they didn’t even know half the truth?” he says and I smiled at him.

“Can I please make a call to someone? “I asked and he looked at me dumbstruck.

“Did you have someone you can call to stay with?” he asked excitedly and that’s the confirmation that this man is my fan.

“What’s my first movie,” I asked.

“When we first met,” he answered almost immediately and he was also shocked about how fast he responded.

“You are my fan,” I say, swaying my hair, and the detectives on a seat at the station can’t help but be mesmerized by her actions. That’s why she is called the Nation’s goddess; she can entrap anyone.

“So Mr fans what’s your name,” I asked smilingly so that it even hurts my cheek.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Clark,” he says shyly.

“Mr. Clark can I have your phone now,” I say and he handed the phone to me. I dialed the number and I waited for it to ring.

“Hello,” the other side of the phone says frustrated.

“Ollie, are you home?” I say picking my ear.

“You this b***h” the person on the other side of the phone screams and I can’t help but keep the phone distance from my ear because of her scream.

“Did you know how worried I was, did you know how devastated me and Tori were when we saw that you were arrested on TV and you don’t deem it fit to call us and you are just calling now, after all, that’s happened?” Olivia says in one breath yelling into the phone. I already dropped the phone on the detective’s desk so the detectives around me could hear all of Olivia’s scolding.

Olivia and Victoria are my childhood friends from the orphanage so we are very close.

“I just want to tell you I will be freeloading at your place for some days so be ready, bye,” I say immediately hanging up the phone because I know that Olivia is not done with her scolding.

I thanked the detectives and I decided to leave the station to go to Ollie’s place but Detective Clark volunteered to drive me there because the situation is still a bit intense even though the police released a statement of me being innocent but the netizen still doesn’t believe it.

During the drive to Olivia’s apartment, I can’t help but feel so sad for myself because I know my career is in jeopardy if it has not even ended because I am sure the lousy young master won’t leave me be. I looked at the sky through the car window and I saw that the sky is dark but the moon and the star shining brightly complimented it.

“They must be mocking me,” I say lifelessly.

“Hmmm,” Detective Clark asked, confused about who I was referring to.

“The sky, the moon, and the stars are all mocking me, ” I say and the detective looked at me puzzled, still not understanding what I mean but he decided to not ask anyways. I saw a sight of a beautiful lake on the way to Ollie’s place which I hadn’t noticed before and I asked Detective Clark to drop me which he refused but I promised I won’t do anything dangerous. He dropped me with questions in his eyes and I thanked him for his generosity and he zoomed off leaving me to admire the lake.

BACK TO PRESENT

The scandal I am framed up for has ended my career but it has not ended my life so, I am going fight until the end, I thought and a tear escape my eyes because I am still a helpless girl in this cruel world that has nobody to lean on or someone that’s going to protect me from this cruelty.

“I am not going to die, “I say with a resolute voice.

I turned back at the inviting lake and make my way to the road but maybe because I was so lost in thought that I didn’t hear that a car is moving towards me at a crazy speed and it was too late because the car is close to me already and when my body collides with the car’s body I felt my life sipped out of me.

“Oh God I take it back I don’t want to die anymore, Olivia and Victoria still need an energy supplement in their lives, my friends will be so devastated if I die,” I thought. I felt my body hit the floor and my eyes started dilating but I saw a movement of a man running towards me but I can’t make out his face.

“I don’t want to die,” I told the man and I closed my eyes…
