MELODY HIGH SCHOOL - CHAPTER 55&56
“And bang…”
Victoria shot Elisa from behind, and Elisa gasped, her eyes widening in shock. She turned to face her mother, who was staring at her with tears in her eyes.
“You… f-__-king want to ki|| your own daughter, ?îtçh,” Elisa sneered, with a smirk still on her face.
“You… you’re getting out of hand, Lisa. Someone needed to stop you,” Victoria said with tears.
“Stop?” Elisa groaned, picking up the gun again.
“I’ll make sure I ki|| that Daisy girl.” Elisa was about to fire the gun but Victoria was too quick, $h00ting Elisa three times. Everyone’s eyes widened in shock, except for Daisy, who was still crying and staring at Darren, who was in agony.
Elisa gasped and fell to the ground, and Victoria rushed to her side, holding her tightly.
“I… I’m sorry,” Victoria said, tears streaming down her face.
“You… you should… raise your daughter well… in your next life, mom,” Elisa said with tears before taking her last breath. Victoria held her lifeless body
“L… Lisa?” she stammered.
Liam’s eyes were still wide with shock, but he quickly regained his composure and held Barbie hostage, pointing a gun at her head.
“I’m going to ki|| the dying Darren or her,” he sneered.
Just then, the door burst open, and Summer, Ricky, and a team of agents entered the room, their guns drawn. “Everyone, get down!”a agent yelled
The agents quickly surrounded Liam, their guns trained on him. “We advise you not to take any steps, Mr. Campbell,” one of the agents warned.
” No I have to ki|| the person behind this predicament. Liam sneered and point the gun at daisy
“you mother f-__-ker. barbie muttered
” we will advice you to drop the gun mr Campbell. another agent said
“I won’t drop the gun,” he struggled, trying to fire it, but the agents were too quick.
They shot him multiple times, and he crumbled to the ground, his gun falling from his hand.
Summer and Barbie’s eyes widened in shock, but Barbie quickly composed herself and rushed to Daisy’s side.
“Barbs… the ambulance… please, please tell someone to call the ambulance. We need to save him,” Daisy cried out.
“Please compose yourself, Daisy,” Barbie muttered,
“Call the f-__-king ambulance, Barbs!” Daisy yelled, her voice hoarse from crying.
“You’re going to face the consequences, Mrs. Victoria,” one of the agents said
As they dragged Victoria away, her eyes still fixed on Elisa’s lifeless body. Tiger was also dragged away, his eyes wide with fear.
One of the agents approached Daisy, who was still crying uncontrollably.
“The ambulance is here,” he said gently.
“Then let’s go! What the f-__-k are you all waiting for?” Daisy yelled
“Don’t cry, wifey. Maybe this is fate,” Darren groaned
“Shut up, silly. You’ll be fine, okay?” Daisy said, tears streaming down her face.
The nurses who had just entered the room quickly moved to assist Darren
And Daisy yelled at them,
“What are you waiting for? Carry him now!”
They carefully lifted Darren onto the stretcher, and Daisy followed closely behind as they wheeled him out of the room.
Ricky and Summer exchanged a worried glance at Daisy’s distraught state as she walked alongside the stretcher.
“Hey, hold on,” Summer muttered.
“What is it?” Barbie asked
“Where’s Dove?” Summer asked
Once I get hold of that ?îtçh, I’m going to f-__-king ki|| her,” Barbie sneered
They all walked out of the haunted house, Daisy following the ambulance to ensure she was by Darren’s side.
“I think they’re going to my mom’s hospital,” Ricky said.
“Okay, we should go with another car,” Barbie said, and Summer nodded in agreement.
“You’re fine, right?” Clayton asked, his eyes fixed on Barbie.
“Yes, I’m…” Barbie paused, her eyes widening as she saw an agent bringing Dove out of the haunted house. Dove’s eyes were wide with fear, and her hands were cuffed behind her back.
“And here comes the ?îtçh,” Barbie muttered
She walked up to Dove, slapping her countless times. Dove’s eyes couldn’t focus from the repeated blows.
“You ?îtçh, I’m going to ki|| you,” Barbie yelled, her tears falling like rain.
“Hey, stop it,” one of the agents said, trying to intervene.
“Don’t f-__-king yell at me,” Barbie snapped
“All these people deserve death.”
Clayton quickly grabbed Barbie from behind, holding her at the waist.
“Please, Barbs, calm down.”
“No, I can’t calm down,” Barbie screamed, her tears falling uncontrollably. “My Daisy is devastated, all because of these people. If anything happens to my Daisy or Darren, I will f-__-king ki|| you myself. I will hunt you down.”
Dove muttered, “I… I’m sorry.”
“You’re sorry?” Summer asked coldly, as she walked up to Dove. She gave Dove two slaps.
“What did Daisy ever do to you monsters? You all deserve to rot in hell.”
Ricky quickly held Summer back, trying to calm her down.
“You can take her away,” he said to one of the agents.
“Please forgive me… Please help me,” Dove cried out as the agents dragged her away.
Clayton rolled his eyes.
“Are you the same Dove? So innocent and sweet? You didn’t even think twice when you pushed Daisy into the pool the other day. Your face disgusts me. Please take her away.”
“I… I’m so sorry,” Dove cried out, as the agents dragged her away.
“Where’s Rusty?” Clayton asked.
“He stayed with Iris and Mrs. Sara at the underground house,” Ricky replied.
“Poor Iris,” Summer said. “What if she finds out what happened to her brother?”
“Nothing will go wrong,” Barbie said with tears
“We should all leave. We need to go to the hospital to be with Daisy.”
They all nodded slowly.
___
Clayton, Barbie, Summer, and Ricky rushed into the hospital, and their eyes met Daisy pacing anxiously in front of Darren’s ward. As soon as she saw them, she ran to Ricky, tears streaming down her face.
“I… I heard your mom is the one treating Darren right now,” Daisy said, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.
“Teddy, please calm down,” Ricky said
“Calm down?” Daisy yelled, her voice echoing through the hospital corridor.
“I can’t f-__-king calm down right now!”
They all flinched at her outburst, and Barbie muttered, “Is this my Daisy?” as she cried alongside her.
“I… I am so sorry I shouted at you, but please, Ricky, tell them to let me see him once. I just want to be with him now. I want to be there for him,” Daisy cried out bitterly.
“That’s not how it works, Daisy. You have to wait till they’re done,” Ricky explained gently.
“Wait? It’s really looking like they’ve been there for years. I just want to see my Darren,” Daisy cried out, breaking down completely.
Barbie and Summer quickly helped her up.
“You have to be strong for Darren, please, Daisy,” Barbie muttered, tears streaming down her face.
Daisy closed her eyes slowly, memories flooding her mind. .
She remembered the way Darren was crying when they broke the news of her parents’ death to her. She felt weak and vulnerable, but she knew she had to be strong for Darren but her whole body is betraying her.
Immediately, Ricky’s mom came out of the ward with the nurse.
Daisy rushed to her like a mad woman, her eyes wild with worry.
“He… Is alright, right?” Daisy stammered
“I… Are you okay to hear this right now?” the doctor asked
“What do you mean ready? Darren is alright, right?” Daisy asked
“Mom, just tell us already, is Darren okay?” Ricky asked
The Ricky’s mom took a deep breath.
“He’s fine, we were able to save him, but there’s a problem. He slipped into a coma. He’s lost a lot of blood, and it was a miracle we were able to save him. We don’t know when he’ll be waking up. You all have to pray for that.”she said
Daisy’s eyes widened in horror, and she fainted immediately, her body crumpling to the ground.
“Daisy?!?!” they all screamed in unison, rushing to her side.
Barbie’s eyes widened, and she cried bitterly.
“Please do something, doctor!” she pleaded.
Ricky’s mom checked Daisy’s pulse and said,
“She’s too weak. Her pulse isn’t really stable, but she fainted due to shock.”
Barbie cried out, “Please do something!”
Ricky’s mom muttered, “Of course,” and they all helped Daisy to another ward.
______
Daisy sat on the hospital bed, her eyes fixed on a point in space, her mind elsewhere. Ricky, Clayton, Barbie, and Summer tried to talk to her, but she didn’t respond. She just kept staring, her expression blank.
Barbie couldn’t stop crying, her tears falling like rain.
“Daisy, please say something, please,” she begged.
“Daisy, you can’t give up. You need to go see Darren. He might regain consciousness if he hears your voice.” Clayton tried to reason with her
“Please, Daisy, say something. You’re strong, you can get through this.” Ricky added
“Daisy, you’re a fighter. You need to say something, laugh, and live.”Summer encouraged her
But Daisy remained silent, her gaze fixed on nothing.
Barbie’s tears became too much, and Clayton took her out of the ward, trying to comfort her.
“Daisy, I haven’t thanked you yet. I should thank you now. Please listen to me and say something. You need to laugh. Summer and I have exposed my stepmom and Rocky. They’re both out of the house now. Rocky’s in jail for the false accusations, and my dad is trying to make amends with my mom. She’s still hurt.”Ricky tried again
Daisy’s gaze didn’t waver, but her voice was barely audible.
“Your mom should forgive your dad, everyone deserves a second chance, Ricky. I’ve always fought for the love of my life over silly things because I didn’t remember him .Now life is refusing to give us a valid second chance. My Darren is in a coma.”
Ricky and Summer breathed a sigh of relief as Daisy finally spoke, her tears falling slowly.
“I can see you really love Darren,” Ricky said
“Yes, I guess it was just fate playing tricks when we felt a connection between us, because I don’t feel that way anymore,” Daisy said
“You’re right, but you need to see Darren,” Ricky encouraged.
But Daisy’s eyes widened again, and she continued to stare into space
“Not again,” Ricky muttered
“Will she be fine? We can’t keep watching her like this,” Summer whispered, tears streaming down her face.
I pray she will be fine, along with Darren. Ricky muttered
____
FOUR MONTHS LATER
Four months later, the group gathered in the sitting room, concerned about Daisy’s well-being. Ricky, Rusty, Sage, Elle, Jayden, Summer, Clayton, Barbie, Iris, and Mrs. Sara all sat together, discussing Daisy’s isolation.
“Why will Daisy keep herself locked up in her room?” Elle asked
“She hardly talks to anyone now, she stays locked up in there,” Clayton said, shaking his head.
“But Princess does talk to me,” Iris said
“We talk, but she only says a few words, she doesn’t talk much,” Barbie said, almost in tears.
“What about Darren? What about his health? Any news?” Jayden asked, his brow furrowed.
“No, he’s still the same way, still in a coma,” Clayton replied,
“You all need to talk to Daisy, Darren won’t be happy if he finally wakes up just to see her that way,” Mrs. Sara said,
“She didn’t resume school, we tried to talk to her,” Sage said, shaking her head.
“Please, you all should help Princess,” Iris said
“We will, dear,” Barbie said
“You’ve been working tirelessly for Daisy, dear. You’re a true friend, Barbie. You’ve taken care of her properties, her dad’s company, and everything. You’ve had everything in her name and have been keeping it all going for the past four months. You’re a friend indeed,” Mrs. Sara said
“She’s my sister,” Barbie muttered almost in tears
Just then, the doorbell rang.
“I think someone’s here,” Rusty said
“Who could it be? We’re not expecting any visitors,” Barbie said, opening the door to reveal a neatly dressed man and woman standing at the entrance.
“We’re here for Daisy Jones, please,” the woman said, smiling at Barbie.
“And who are you?” Barbie asked
“We’re from Skylight Company from Japan,” the man said, producing their card. “Here’s our card.”
“Oh, I’m so sorry, please come in.” She stepped aside, allowing the two strangers to enter the house.
They both walked inside with Barbie, who gestured for them to take a seat. “Please, have a sit,” she said
“Who are they, Barbs?” Mrs. Sara asked, her eyes fixed on the visitors.
“We are music producers from Skylight Company,” Mr. Lee explained. “We’re here to offer Daisy Jones a contract – a big contract that can change her life. she has 67 million followers, she has tremendous potential.she is part of the top 10 talented songwriters and singers .Our company pick just one out of these people to sign a contract with and daisy Jones has been selected.She can continue her school in Japan while pursuing her music and singing career. We understand it’s her dream.”
Mrs. Lee added, “We noticed she hasn’t been singing or posting recently, and we’re aware of the incident. Our company wants to help Daisy make the most of her talent and become a superstar.”
“How can we trust you? How do we know you’re from Skylight?”barbie asked
The Lees handed Barbie more cards.
“Here’s our company contract card. You can also visit our office here in Italy to confirm our legitimacy.”
Mrs. Lee continued,
“Daisy will be going to Japan for two years to become a great music star. It’s really up to her. We need feedback within 24 hours, because there are others like her.so she must get back to us.which she can send through our website or by calling us.”
Barbie took the card, her face breaking into a smile.
“Okay, thank you.”
As the Lees stood to leave, Barbie exclaimed,
“I’m so happy for Daisy!” She jumped up in joy, her eyes shining with excitement.
“They’re really from Skylight Company,” Barbie said, showing the group her phone screen, which displayed her quick search results.
“I did some research too, and they’re legit,” Elle confirmed.
Clayton nodded in agreement. “They’re a reputable company. Daisy is really lucky to have this opportunity.”
“She needs to accept this offer. It’s a chance to make her dreams come true.”Jayden added
. “But she’s not talking to anyone, and she’s kept herself locked up in her room.”Ricky said
“I know how much Darren wanted Princess’s dreams to come true. She needs to become a superstar. I’ll go with Barbie to her room to talk to her.”iris said
really?. summer asked
The group smiled, knowing Iris’s plans often worked.
,”But will she listen to you?”Sage asked
“I’m Darren’s sister, and my plans always work. I’m also smart.”Iris confidently replied
The group nodded slowly, trusting in Iris.
“Make it work this time Iris. Mrs Sara muttered.
______
“What the heck, Barbs? Why would you advice me to take this offer and leave My Darren here?” Daisy yelled, her voice echoing through the room, as soon as Barbie finished explaining the offer.
“You need to accept this, Daisy. Trust in Darren. I’m sure he’ll be happy when he wakes up and finds out you’re pursuing your dream.”Barbie said in tears
But Daisy was adamant.
“Hell no! I won’t go to Japan, and that’s it!”
“You will go to Japan, Daisy, or else I’ll blame you for the state my brother is in right now. I won’t go to school either. In fact, I’ll consider you bad luck for my brother! .Iris, her tiny voice retorted,
Daisy’s eyes widened in shock, and hot tears began to flow out of her eyes slowly
“W…hat?”she muttered
