Chapter 50

Alma.

I was inside the room, discussing with Earl. It was nothing serious , just some random crazy stuffs about me. We were both chuckling at intervals.

The door opened without even being knocked, both of us were forced to look towards the door, it was Clifford.

He saw us and turned back, he walked away.

“My brother is confused.” Earl said.

“Confused! Is he?” I asked. I didn’t get what Earl meant.

“Let’s play a game.” Earl suggested, I realized he wasn’t ready to explain the meaning behind his words so I didn’t bother him.

We played the video game till it was around 8PM at night, peeking through the window, it was dark but the room had white fluorescent in it which makes it very bright like we were in the day.

I was hoping that Earl won’t leave till I start to feel sleepy, I was enjoying playing the game with him.

A knock landed on the door few minutes later.

“Come in.” I said without standing and looking towards the entrance, I was so engrossed in the game.

“Are you planning on sleeping here?” hearing Clifford’s voice, Earl paused the game and turned to him.

“Brother, is anything the problem?” He asked.

The look on Clifford’s face wasn’t a pleasant one.

“I ask again, did you want to sleep here?” He questioned.

“Well, I’ve not yet thought about that but now that you made mention of it, I’ll consider that.” Earl answered.

Clifford walked towards him and stood intimidatingly before him but Earl was not bothered at all.

“Are you alright?” Earl even crossed his legs and asked.

“Get out.” Clifford commanded.

“Excuse me? Why? I mean… what’s going on?” Earl asked.

“Earl, get out of this room, now.” Clifford ordered.

“Or what?” Earl asked, his voice was loud.

“Hum! Don’t let me do the worst on you, I won’t repeat myself after this. Get out.” Clifford ordered.

“I’m not leaving. Do your worst, bro.” Earl said.

Clifford took steps back and pressed some stuffs on his phone. Few minutes later, David and Edwin knocked and walked in.

“I do not understand what was going on, Earl but Clifford just ordered your immediate termination from the band.” David said. “I’m sorry but you will be leaving this night.”

“Is that all you could do, brother?” Earl stood and asked Clifford. “You fired me just because I was in the same room with the poor girl you always claim to hate but loved her with passion, Ironical!” Earl walked out.

“You are so wicked, I’m leaving with him.” I walked out and followed Earl.

He was going to his room.

“Earl, are you going to pack your luggage?” I asked.

“Sure… be fine, dear.” He answered without turning back.

I finally caught up with him, but at that time, he was already before his room.

“I’m following you, my Instagram page is growing rapidly and many people already know me, we can leave this band and start up something together.” I said.
