Fake News

"Oh my gosh! I miss you, Mesia!" Mossy said as he hugged some. He used to call me Mesia, he shortened my name because he hated how long it was. He said my parents did not think enough to give me that name.

I disagree though, my name is good, it sounds good and it will always be good when Braxton calls my name.

Oh damn it

Why am I even thinking about him?

I shake my head to get rid of the thought. Out of sight out of mind right? But in my case it's more like out of mind out of sight, though he is really not in my sight.

Oh gosh, Artemesia cut it out. I really need to stop thinking about him.

I wasn't expecting him to come here in the coffee shop where I was.

"Hey! What is your order?" He asked me.

"I already have a coffee Mossy." I answered.

"So? What if you have a coffee? Order another one and pair it with something solid so you won't be hungry! Don't worry you cheapskate it is on me." He said.

"Tsk. I'm not a cheapskate. I'm alright okay. I treat myself nicely."

"Are you sure? You are getting thin. Is no one reminding you to eat a lot? To eat well?"

"No Moss, what do you think it's easy to lose you from me? You don't. I can't be a nasty manager anymore and it's very hard to lose a nasty manager like you. I don't have gigs and I miss having gigs. But what Can I do? Of course not. I have to accept the fact that I'm just a secretary for a billionaire."

It's true what I said, That's just my consequence. A flirting expert.

"So? At least, you're making money. I don't know why you're complaining, you child. You should be thankful because you have money. Do you know what other people do just to make money, right?"

My lips protruded.

I know what Mossy wants to say, I'm just really sorry.

What if I've only reached this far and I can't reach anything in life?

What would I do with all the money that I will get?

Even though Braxton and I have a contract, there is still no guarantee that the release of my future songs will be successful in the record deal.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom and I've been peeing for a while now. I didn't pee in the studio because I was busy with work."

I nod at him as he excuses himself to go to the bathroom.

My brows furrowed when I saw someone familiar near the entrance of the coffee.

Wait, is that?

And what are they doing?

Why are they here?

Did they come for me?

Well, it looks like they won't stop until they hurt someone. What do they need? Don't tell me Tommy's issue has arrived.

I closed my eyes tightly.

Oh damn, I knew it.

They probably already know what happened to Tommy. Probably whatever else it said was completely wrong so now this yellow guy is going to attack me. I can't believe it! I didn't even do anything wrong and they are going to attack me now? How dare them! I didn't do anything! It was Tommy who caused the fight not me! I didn't do anything to that fool.

"Hey! You're a witch! How thick is your face? After everything we did for your family, right? For you? After we take care of you and feed you in our house, is that what you're going to do in return? Flirt? Wow, your face is really thick! You really inherited that from your flirtatious mother! Just saw a rich man and joined! Your father has left you! Like mother like daughter really! Because you are not what the billionaire wants? That's why you come to Tommy!"

It had just approached my table and immediately said something. He didn't know what he was talking about. Aunty is blushing with Anger and even Rachel's chest is almost up and down with Anger.

What are they really angry about?

Do they know the real story? Nope.

They don't know what really happened. And I'm sure Tommy's story is different.

"Whatever Tommy told you is a lie because he came to my house to beg for mercy. He was indeed drunk but I pushed him away." I told them.

"Why is that callus really different from your face? Flirty!" Reached screamed and she tried to grab my hair. It was too late for me to leave because he was the first to pull out everything. He pulled my hair from the chair and tweaked me.

"Rachel what?" I screamed trying to stop her.

I wonder what Rachel would do if I told her that Tommy is begging me to take him back instead of her? He also called her a bitch. I mean she is but that is not a good way to describe your current girlfriend right? If only they knew everything.

This girl will be even more crazy when she learns the truth. Probably no one seems to be able to show it.

"I didn't do anything! Tommy came to my house and I kicked him out! I can see it on my CCTV!" I shouted, defending myself.

"Your CCTV? What's the use of your Cctc? If you flirt, you flirt! Nothing will change there! There is no debt!" She screamed even louder.

We are already making a scene but it wasn't enough for them.

They still want to embarrass me completely, just like they always do to me. Doesn't this scream to me enough?

They will suddenly believe Tommy's fake news!

But when Rachel stole from Tommy, I didn't act like Rachel, as if the world was ending just because of one man. Or maybe there is a part of me that knew that would happen back then. I know that Tommy is really cheating. I knew it but still I gave him a chance. I thought it was genuine, I saw the signs but ignored them.

He was like Dalton. Just like this, I was carried away by the words.

"Can it be right!" I screamed when Rachel still didn't let go of my hair.

As before they did not listen to me. They never listen to me. No one ever listens to me. I was alone and now I'm also alone and no one is going to help me but me.

"What's right? You deserve to be bald because of your promiscuity!"

Rachel shivered even more, which is why she buried her finger in my butt.

That made me wince.

"Hey that's enough!"

A woman's voice echoed as she spoke. I don't know what happened but Rachel suddenly let go of my hair, which made me look up.

Standing in front of us was an old woman in her forties. Just like the woman I saw in Braxton's office with Monica. But this one is simple but it is obvious that she was beautiful in her youth.

It came to me.

"Are you okay?" She asked me.

I had no words to speak, so I simply nodded.

She smiled at me. Before I could say anything, Mossy came and Aunty and Rachel started fighting, so I stopped it.

The woman also left after helping me. Mossy, on the other hand, was not enough to burn with Anger. Good thing aunty and Rachel left too.

A few hours ago I was able to write because of what happened earlier.

It made me realize a lot of things.

I learn how to value life because of the people who give meaning to it, and it is my family. I love them more than anything and even though I'm hard headed sometimes, I care for them.

I always pray to God to keep them safe away from evil. My aunty and cousin made me realize that evil is everywhere, evil can be someone whom you trust so much that you are pressured to do evil because they tell you.

It can always be around, our school, in our house and in our minds, evil is everywhere, being able to defeat evil is to bring the goodness in us. Sometimes we just need to find nor make ourselves not blinded by darkness and see the light within ourselves.

We made mistakes and it's normal but making the same mistakes all over again without learning anything from it is not normal. We all regret and ask for forgiveness but the only thing that can make us feel okay is forgiving ourselves for every mistake that we did.

One maybe disappointed for its doing, there are times when we don't get what we want, those times are tough, disappointment sucks because it makes us feel unworthy and not enough, all we need is someone who appreciates us in any way and is willing to give us a million chance no matter how hard it is to take us.

All these negative things were not pure evil, we are the ones who are turning it into one, that's why we should be positive even if there is no goodness in every situation, that the struggles were always going to be always a test and a challenge.

Earth is just a training ground on how to be good so that we can fully be good in the next life, so the main lesson here is don't let evil eat you, evil is there because of the absence of goodness within us, learn how to defeat it with goodness.

I'm fascinated with the results because it is honestly true. The values assessment laid it all for me and explained in a way that I can truly understand my values. It tells that meaning is significant for me because I have a strong set of moral standards which are important in how I treat others and how I wish to be treated.

My values show a gift for thinking imaginatively and using my skills to produce new ideas to help and make positive change in the lives of others.

Meaningful and close relationships with others is important in my life and it is the central basis of any decisions I make. I'm passionate which is true because when I love something I'm passionate about it. The people around me who's upbeat and has fun-loving approach are also important to me. I'm protective and considerate to others.

I'm fond of sharing the lessons I experienced to support and guide the people around me.The result showed something that is definitely right, which is I really want to make a difference in the world because I believe that we existed for various reasons but the most vital among them is making a difference or contributing change in the world to make it better for future generations.

The values assessment deepens my understanding of my values and it helps understand why I act or react in the way that I usually do.

If someone discern one of my values, it might offend me because the value that I value is not recognized by someone. I can relate it in making decision which goes against one of my values this may lead you to feel uneasy or unsettled about the

decision, because you are not being true to yourself.
