Hopeless feeling
“What?!” Lolo yelled and collapsed on the floor.
The seven other men turned to look at the broken Lolo, and they pitied her condition.
“I have always told you that your mouth will be your downfall, see, look at what you have gotten yourself into!” Micheal hisses at her, he momentarily looked at her before he left.
“Just do it, if you want peace, ” Asher advised her and left along with the two other men; German and the Killer.
Lolo kept mute, staring at the floor in agony as tears flowed freely out of her eyes.
“See you later, and if you are not busy, come over to my place, my bed is cold, and I don’t want to sleep alone tonight, ” Dennis said, with a cunning smile on his face.
“Dennis, I am in a dilemma, and all you can think of is your selfish interest and gains! ” Lolo growled at Dennis angrily.
“Don’t you dare use that type of tone with me! Also, you got yourself into this mess; so think of a way, and bring yourself out, Lolo the sharp-tongued girl! ” Dennis mocked her before he left.
Lolo sat on the floor, staring at the ground, trying to stop herself from crying, but the more she tried, the more she cried.
Just then, a soft hand patted her at her back.
“Hey, stop crying ’cause it won’t solve anything. Don’t worry, everything will be alright; also big girls are not permitted to cry, ” Nebula comforted Lolo.
“Am doomed Nebula, I have no one left, no one is on my side, ” Lolo cried bitterly, pain and regret filling her voice, as she gritted her teeth.
“Don’t say that, what do you mean? Have you forgotten that you still have me? ” Nebula asked and offered her a friendly comforting smile.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“What do you mean by I still have you? I know that you hate me, and I am sure you feel happy to see me sad and broken. Tell me, are you having enough fun seeing me in tears? ” Look asked, as she raised her head to face Nebula, showing him her teary eyes.
“Of course not, I hate to see you in pain; Lolo you are like a younger sister to me, Cory, your brother was my best friend before he decided to betray us, ” Nebula said with sincerity in his eyes.
Lolo stood up at once, and without warning Combo, she jumped on Nebula, crying in his able arms. Although Nebula was shocked, he still decided to hug Lolo back. And he hugged her tightly, scared of losing her.
“That is enough already!” Combo growled he had been staring at them for a long period.
“Oh sorry, ” Lolo apologized and quickly shifted away from Nebula’s side.
“Hey, what is wrong with you? Why are you shaking and acting like a coward? ” Nebula asked and laughed at her. He later stopped and stared at her with concern.
“It feels so nice to have someone out there who cares for you. Thank you so much for your love Nebula, ” Lolo bowed at the surprised Nebula. She carefully blew her nose with a handkerchief.
“It is alright, I will always be there for you. Now go back home, I will come over to your place later tonight, ” Nebula said and closed the gap between the both of them.
“See you later, ” he patted her shoulders.
“Huh! ” Combo suspiciously cleared his throat.
“Okay, see you later, ” Lolo nodded, and left the room, she felt a little bit better.
“I will visit you tonight, don’t worry! ” Combo angrily mimicked Nebula’s words.
“In the night, what exactly do you mean by that? Why are you planning to visit her at night? ” Combo asked angrily, jealousy in his eyes.
“Don’t take it to heart okay? I was only trying to comfort a broken soul, ” Nebula replied, he didn’t look bothered about Combo’s anger, instead, he decided to overlook it.
“Oh really?! Is that all you are going to say? ” Combo asked with a husky voice.
“Combo, not today, okay, I am very tired. So I will leave first, ” Nebula said, and without waiting for a response from Combo, he left the room.
“Don’t regret it, cause I won’t be merciful unto you, ” Combo muttered under his breath.

Combo entered his house; he angrily slammed the glass door and climbed the stairs, headed for his room.
“Hey bro, are you alright? ” Asher asked concerned about his brother’s health.
“And how is that your business!? ” Combo thundered at him, ready to vent his anger upon him.
“Calm down, I was just worried about my big bro; there is no need to be all worked up, ” Asher smiled and left the stairs as fast as his long legs could carry him.
“Ah! ” Combo sighed, he sluggishly opened his room door, and the lights were turned off; he didn’t bother to put them on, he just collapsed on the large bed.
“You haven’t taken your shower, you irk of alcohol,” Nebula said, he was pressing his phone, and his face was facing the bed.
“Am tired, ” Combo replied curtly.
“Whose fault is that? I wasn’t the one who asked you to transform Ralph! ” Nebula said and hissed at Combo.
“I thought we’ve talked about that, ” Combo raised his head to face Nebula.
“Oh! So you think I would just forget about it and act as if it never happened? Combo, are you this selfish?! ” Nebula asked raising his voice.
“Fine, continue your screaming and growling, suit yourself, ” Combo hissed at him before he fell asleep.
Nebula angrily stood up from the bed and put on his shoes. On getting downstairs, he met Asher, Combo’s younger brother, he was drinking a red liquor.
“Hey bro, are you going out? ” Asher asked his brother-in-law with a smile.
“Yep, I want to go meet someone, it is urgent, ” Nebula replied and returned the smile.
“Okay then, don’t stay up late,” Asher advised him and returned to the dining room to continue his drink.
Nebula walked swiftly, the town was quiet, on a small billboard, ‘Welcome to Canny town was inscribed boldly. ‘
“Please, dash me some coins, give me gifts.
Show me some love, and I will remember you for good, ” Ella begged on her knees.
