TROUBLESOME FAMILY : CHAPTER 21 – 30
“You got this okay? You can do it..” Scarlett encouraged Monica who was getting nervous.
“Yes” Monica said, taking deep breaths to calm down.
She was dressed already, looking so beautiful..
“And now it’s time for the…”
They heard the MC speaking. Stephanie walked up to them and held Monica’s shoulder.
“You’re a Watterson and a Watterson always wins…got it” Stephanie smiled.
Monica smiled and nodded. Her gaze went to Jackson who was standing behind them, looking at them. She quickly looked away…
“You two are number 5 and it’s already number 3. Go!.” Scarlett said.
Monica nodded and stood. Scarlett left with Stephanie.
“Good luck” Jackson smiled.
“Don’t talk to me. Just because we’re doing this together doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven you, I still hàte you two” Monica said and walked away..
Jackson smiled and dipped his hands in his pocket, following her.
“And now it’s time for S•W Couture to show us what they’ve got” The MC, with her French accent said.
Claps and screams showered the hall. It slowly died down when the lights went off. What came up was the red lights.
Monica’s shadow could be seen. Suddenly the red lights went off and the normal lights came back on.
Skye’s jaw dropped to the floor when he beheld Monica. She stood there, looking so beautiful yet scared.
Monica took deep breaths as she looked at all the eyes which was on her, her heartbeat increased.
Tony smirked from where she was standing before leaving.
Monica’s stood still on her spot, swallowing nothing down her throat.
Scarlett and Stephanie closed their eyes as they lost hopes.
Suddenly, Monica felt a hand on her waist. She looked at the hand and then at the person to see it was none other than Jackson.
Claps immediately flooded the whole hall when the young girls beheld their idols.
“Follow my lead” Jackson whispered to her and she had no choice than to nod.
They mode walked gracefully along the aisle, looking so perfect..
Monica was wearing a milk colored long gown which hugged her body. The gown had a long slit on it from her middle thigh downwards. Her hair was curled up and was allowed to flow freely.
Jackson on the other hand was wearing a black perfectly sewed suit but he was wearing the coat but rather hung it on one of his shoulders. The three first button of his white shirt was left unbuttoned showing off his muscular chest and his tie hung loosely on his neck.
They stopped in front of the judges and then striked various poses. Jackson held her waist and leaned closer to her with both lips parted.
Monica placed her hand on his chest and looked at the camera, giving them her fierce looks..
Jackson then sat on a chair and Monica placed her left leg on it, exposing her thigh from the sIit. She held Jackson’s thigh and pulled him closer to him with their lips just few inches apart before stopping.
The cameramen just kept taking as much photos as they could per minute. The judges already made their notes.
Jackson and Monica curtsied before leaving the stage.
Ursula stopped clapping and looked at Skye. He had his fists folded as he glared at Jackson. Ursula smiled.
When she saw that Ash caught her smiling, she looked away.
The various presentation kept going on. Tara did hers with Joel and it was little it similar to that of Jackson and Monica.
It took an hour before the presentation was over. Now it now took another 30 minutes for the judges to make their choice.
They now called upon all the models on stage.
“To make a choice was quite tough coz each and every designs here was good. The models were perfect but like every shows, she must have a winner.” The make judge said and opened the paper.
The whole room was quiet as some were anxious, some were nervous, some were impatient.
“Second runner up we have.. L-DESIGNS.” He said and the audience clapped for them. The claps diéd down in few minutes.
“First runner up here goes to… La Ty Designs” He said and claps followed.
“No!” Tara screamed.
“I lost again to them” Tony cvrsed.
“And now the winner of the America’s fashion runaway show is…”
Monica kept biting her nails…
Scarlett and Stephanie kept biting their nails…
Arnold and Julia kept biting their nails….
The main judge opened the envelope and smiled.
“S•W….Courture!!!!” He exclaimed.
The hall was in an uproar..
“Yes!! Those are our daughter!!” Arnold exclaimed while Julia laughed.
“Yes!!” Monica screamed and jumped. She didn’t even know when she hugged Jackson.
Scarlett and Stephanie came upstage. Monica rushed to them and hugged them tightly as the flowers poured on them.
Other fashion industry came to congratulate them.

Later**
Scarlett walked out of the restroom with a smile on her face. Who wouldn’t smile after winning.
She groaned loudly when she remember that she had to go back to that boring place called marital home.
Her family already went back home so it was just her.
She began walking to the garage where she parked her car but something just felt off, she felt like she was being followed.
She looked back buy could see no one. Scarlett shrugged and continued her way.
As she was approaching her car, she dipped her hand in her handbag to bring out her car keys when suddenly someone covered her mouth from behind.
She began struggling with the person but the person was holding her tight. As a quick reflex, she elbowed the person on the stomach.
The person groaned and released her. Scarlett took to her heels and began running but she could hear the person chasing her.
She quickly his behind one of the numerous cars in the parking before bringing out her phone. She dialed the first number which came her mind.
The number rung and rung but didn’t pick up. She dialed the number again, her heart slamming against its ribcage.
Finally, it picked.
“Hello?”
“Help me… I’m being chased by,,, ahh!!” Scarlett screamed as the person dragged her out of her hiding spot. Her phone eventually fell off.
“Hello? Hello?” The caller said.
