When The Sky Falls - Book 2 - N. Y. (love novels in english .txt) 📗

building, I called up Alex.

 

Her phone went to voicemail.

 

 

"Alex, I think you should be aware and cautious of Sara. She's got something on her back and I know it."

 

I ended the call and drove home.

 

--

 

 

I woke up the next morning, to knocking on my door. I struggle, going down the stairs.

 

It's too early in the morning. Inf act, 5:40am to be exact.

 

I opened the front door and Marybella came in all cheery.

 

 

"Good morning Elle!" ahe said hopping around.

 

"Good morning Marybella." I said, tiredly.

 

I didn't open my eyes, till I layed down flat on the couch after closing the door.

 

 

"Why are you not dressed yet?!" she asked.

 

"What?" I said lifting my head up.

 

"Halloween is today, why are you not dressed yet!"

 

 

I opened my eyes finally and looked at Marybella, who was dress like a ballerina.

 

How cliche.

 

"Marybella, it's 5:41 in the morning. The sun hasn't even come up yet and you're ready for tonight?"

 

 

"Yes I am ready, it's my second time celebrating halloween here and this year i'm getting the big candy bars. Unlike last year, when one person took the last Hershey's and I had to fight them back for it."

 

I looked at Marybella for a second.

 

"Yeah I remember, because I wasn't there! And I wasn't that person who had the last Hershey's!" I complained.

 

 

Marybella looked off to the side, sighing.

 

"Yeah sorry for that. And since it's early in the morning, why don't you go back to sleep while I watch a movie and make pancakes."

 

"Twitches?" I say.

 

"I'll put it on loud for you." Marybella scurries to say.

 

 

She helped me up to my room and I instantly fell asleep when I hit the bed.

 

Later, my alarm clock rang and I hit it the snooze button.

 

 

I smelled something nice coming from downstairs and it smelled like chocolate chip pancakes.

 

I had to admit Marybella can bake and make breakfast.

 

 

I quickly got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, taking a quick shower and dressing up in my halloween costume for work.

 

The halloween bash is tonight.

 

I went downstairs, to find Marybella making freshly squeezed orange juice.

 

 

"Oh good morning Elle...again!!" she smiled, handing me a plate full of toast.

 

"Well, good morning to you too, and tell me what did you do for the past 3 and a half hours since you arrived here?"

 

 

She stopped blending juice and looked towards me.

 

"Well I would do what anyone else would do, watched 3 hours worth of scary halloween movies (my favorite), and I made breakfast."

 

 

She smiled eagerly, making me feel impressed.

 

"Okay, well that's quite the schedule and Marybella?" I said.

 

"Yeah?"

 

"Next time don't come by my house this early in the morning....especially on halloween too." I said.

 

 

I smiled and sat down on one of the barstools, digging into my pancakes.

 

"Mmmm, these pancakes look good." I said, inserting a mouthfull of chocolate chip pancakes.

 

"Thanks Elle, father taught me well."

 

 

"Mmmm, we better hurry up before we're late to the early halloween party they're having at the breakfast hall." I say.

 

"Okay!" Marybella said.

 

 

Marybella grabbed the last french toast and carried two bottles, filled with the orange juice that she blended.

 

"Here." she said, handing my one bottle.

 

"Thanks."

 

We got in the car and drove off to FARELLE.

 

 

When we got there, the parking lot was almost filled. Luckily Marybella left her car at my place, because there was only one stop left.

 

I looked at myself in the reflection of my car, making sure my cop costume was alright.

 

We walked down the alley to the breakfast hall, which they renamed from the previous one 'breakfast club'.

 

 

We heard crutch sounds coming from the alley and we looked behind us to see Sara.

 

"Hey guys, wait up!" she said, struggling to balance on one crutch.

 

"Hey Sara, what are you doing here and where's your other crutch?" I asked.

 

 

She panted before she answered.

 

"Part of the costume. I heard about the big halloween bash FARELLE was throwing, so I had to get up and show up to work today. Plus, I needed to get my stories in. So, here I am and guess what i'm dressed as?"

 

 

Marybella took the first guess. "A monster!"

 

"No." Sara said smiling.

 

"A ghost?" I answered.

 

"I'm a zombie, who just got out of a hospital with all the crutch and stuff, because of an injury."

 

 

"Oh!" Me and Marybella said at the same time.

 

"I get it, well come on. We're gonna be late to get all the good cookies for breakfast." I said helping Sara walk with us. 

 

 

We sat down at our usual table and eat the provided cookies for a while, then went to work. 

 

 

Lauren and Vanessa stopped everyone in the middle of tasks, to announce something.

 

"Okay everyone, today's the official day and night for the halloween bash. Everyone remember we're not here to have fun, we're here to be on the look out." Lauren said.

 

Vanessa interuppted.

 

"Yes, as some of you know, every year all the magazine companies throw a halloween bash, so one of us can secretly go over to their company and steal their latest dresses for their covers and spreads. And as we all know, it's fun and games until something goes wrong."

 

Lauren interuppted.

 

"So I suggest, if you're part of the steal group, make it count and don't steal anything else other than the dress. Remember, it's fun and games until tomorrow, when we return the dresses back."

 

Lauren and Vanessa walked towards me and Rikki, as we were talking at my reception desk.

 

 

"Elle. I want you, Rikki, Marybella, Lana and...."

 

Lauren looked around, till she caught her eyes on Sara.

 

"And Sara to be our steal team for the bash tonight, now you can all still wear your costumes, but wear something black also."

 

Lauren walked away to her office.

 

 

Marybella came out from the photoshoot area and walked towards me and Rikki.

 

"What was all that about?"

 

 

"We're alll part of the steal team. Lauren assigned us all  to steal a dress at the bash tonight, and it includes you and Lana, and Sara." I said.

 

"What Sara? That's great and we'll get to have fun." Marybella exclaimed.

 

 

Just then Marybella got a text.

 

"Oh, it's from Vanessa, she said were stealing the Vigorus strip down dress from our rival, KARL magazine."

 

 

"What?" I said.

 

"KARL is our magazine company rival and we're gonna steal their latest dress....that's awesome!!"Rikki said.

 

Sara budded in.

 

"I got caught up with Lauren just now, she said I was part of the steal group. What's that?" Sara asked.

 

Marybella turned around to Sara.

 

"Yes."

 

"Awesome, i'm gonna go find some black clothing." Sara said.

 

Sara crutched her way to The Big Closet.

 

 

Rikki interuppted.

 

"Okay. I have a plan, but it does include one of our boyfriends...and when I mean boyfriends. I mean, you Marybella because you're not married or engaged like Elle."

 

 

"Hey, Jacob will propose to me soon." I said striking a look at Rikki.

 

Marybella sighed, throwing a fit.

 

"Or someone else who has a boyfriend." Marybella said, turning to face Sara who was carrying a black oufit.

 

 

"You mean Sara has a boyfriend?" Rikki asked.

 

Me and Marybella nodded. "Yeah, didn't you know?" I said.

 

 

"Wow, I am missing out on everything. Do you guys hang out without me?" Rikki asked.

 

"Yes," Marybella and I said.

 

"But guys, what about Lana?" Marybella asked turning back to me.

 

 

Rikki interuppted.

 

"We leave her behind with some cute guys at KARL, then we steal the dress."

 

"Awesome." I said.

 

--

 

When the party started, we were ready to go. Lana was by our side, Marybella and Rikki.....and Sara.

 

"Alright girls!" Lauren said, as she came up to us with Vanessa.

 

"Good luck and make sure not to get caught, unless someone has a yellow card. That's our color this year." Lauren said.

 

Vanessa handed us 3 yellow cards.

 

"And remember have fun and get in trouble, but not too much....and enjoy the party." Lauren finished.

 

 

A bell rang and Lauren pushed us towards the glass doors and we were off.

 

Sara was behind with Lana, because she's on crutches and Lana's a slow.

 

Marybella, Rikki and I were up ahead.

 

 

KARL magazine company was 1 block away from FARELLE.

 

We crept in through a door near an alley.

 

The building was built like a mall.

 

It was big.

 

 

"Do you have the de-coder Marybella?" Rikki asked, as I shuffled through our black bag.

 

"Always." she said taking it out.

 

 

The door unlocked and we went inside with Lana and Sara following behind.

 

Rikki, Marybella and I went up the flight of stairs in a breeze, while Lana and Sara took the accesible elevator.

 

When we got up we banged on the door till it shot down.

 

 

When we got inside we all tip-toed to the closet room. Where the dresses were hidden.

 

Marybella and Rikki looked around and kept a look out for Lana and Sara coming our way.

 

 

The elevator door dinged and Lana and Sara came out.

 

"Come on!" I whispered to them.

 

 

Luckily they found a wheelchair and Sara sat in it. It eliminated the crutches sound.

 

They made it before someone spotted us.

 

"Okay girls, we have most of the night to find it."

 

"Elle?" Marybella said across the aisle.

 

 

"I think it's gonna take us until tomorrow to find it." she said

 

"Why?" I said coming up behind her.

 

 

She pointed down a long aisle and a ton of more dresses were shown. Display lights flashed on every single one.

 

"Every single...." I said.

 

Marybella interuppted. "Every single dress."

 

 

We both looked at each other.

 

 

I searched through an aisle with old dresses from last month, that were probably still in style.

 

I found a size that would fit Lana and searched for her in the middle of the closet.

 

"Okay, since the middle of the closet is where the dressing room and lounge it,....wear this. "I said looking at Lana.

 

 

She got into a dress I picked out.

 

"How do I look?" she asked, showing off the dress.

 

"Mmm... too formal." Marybella said, searching for another dress.

 

"Change." I said.

 

 

She went back in after Marybella handed her another.

 

I walked over to Rikki.

 

 

"Okay Rikki i'm putting you in charge of our plan, even though I said I was boss. Be on the look out and tell us if there's a problem."

 

Suddenly the door opened and someone gasped at us.

 

 

I pulled up the yellow card. The person turned out to be a guy.

 

He smiled, closing the door and giving a thumbs up.

 

"Great we have someone that's gonna be on our side."

 

I rushed over to Sara.

 

 

"Okay Sara, call up your boyfriend Kyle and tell him to meet up at the entrance where we came in, he's gonna be our main distraction." I say.

 

"Why?" she asked.

 

"Because he's hot, girls like that." I replied.

 

"Okay," Sara said whipping out her phone.

 

"And make sure to look out too, when sneaking him in. And use the elevator, tell him to wear something black."

 

 

I walked back to the lounge area.

 

"Okay, let's see how Lana's doing." I say.

 

 

Marybella gives me the googly eyes, looking to the change room.

 

"She's perfect." she said, packing up her makeup set.

 

Lana came out and she looked wonderul.

 

 

A perfect green dress that matched her makeup and Lana's hair was down, instead of in a ponytail.

 

"Wow you're amazing, and you need to distract the people downstairs. Come on, let's do this people!" I said, rushing Lana to the door.

 

 

"Come back in 15 mintues, take the 2nd yellow card, and bring info on people who's with us and people who's not. Make sure nobody comes up here." I said.

 

 

She nods her head and goes downstairs.

 

The guy who we saw earlier, that was outside, came in the room.

 

 

"Execuse me, but what do you think you're doing?!" he said angrily.

 

"Uh, dressing up my friends." I said fixing Rikki's makeup.

 

"You can't mix yellow and black, without white." he said, grabbing another outfit.

 

 

"What?" I say.

 

"You obviously don't know much about fashion, do you Elle?" he said.

 

"How do you know my name?" I reply.

 

 

"I know Lauren and she told me all about you. I agreed to look out for you tonight." he said.

 

"Thanks." I said.

 

"Okay your friend is ready to go!" he said giving Rikki a yellow purse.

 

"Wow, you really know fashion." I said looking at Rikki's final outfit.

 

 

"Yep it's my job. Anyways, go down to the party and distract, like that model friend our yours. Go!" he said.

 

 

He rushed Rikki out the door and came back to me, closing the door.

 

"Okay what are you planning to do now?" he replied.

 

"Uh, now we dress up Marybella and wait for Lana to come back." I said.

 

"And what to do about your paralyzed friend?" he said, pointing
