I Think I’M In Love
Debt Collectors
Hailey
*opens the door*
Hello?
Debt Collectors
We’re here to collect the money ❄️
Hailey
W-wait what? The m-month isnt over y-yet
Debt Collectors
Look lady, I don’t make the rules, our boss wants his money and your husband was given 4 months to get us our money❄️
Debt Collectors
It’s not our fault that your husband took a loan of $10,000 and didn’t pay it back ❄️
Elijah and Vicky and Noah walk downstairs
Hailey
P-please sir, I-i don’t have that kind of m-money on me
Noah
*whispers*
What in the world is going on?
Vicky
*fuming knowing exactly why this debt collector is here*
Elijah
*whispers*
Because we owe a huge sum of debt to those debt collectors and they want their money
Hailey
*looks up at the stairs*
G-guys go back upstairs
Debt Collectors
*looks over*
Debt Collectors
You heard her, scram, the adults are talking ❄️
Elijah
*tightens his grip*
Elijah
*whispers*
Let’s go guys
Elijah drags Vicky and Noah back upstairs
Hailey
Sir please 🙏 I-I didn’t even know my husband had such a huge debt, w-we can barley even scrape by with the money I make right n-now
Debt Collectors
*pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs in frustration*
Look lady, I understand what your saying, but your financial issues are none of my concern, I was sent here to collect the money ❄️
Debt Collectors
I can call my boss but that doesn’t mean that he’ll be giving you extra time ❄️
Hailey
P-please do a-ask him, I-i really need extra t-time
Debt Collectors
*walks back to his car and pulls out his phone*
Debt Collectors
📲 Boss, the lady who owes up $10,000 after her husband ran away is asking for extra time
Levi
📲 Does she know how much time her husband was given?! ❄️
Debt Collectors
📲 Y-yes sir I have told her already that we gave her husband 4 months
Debt Collectors
💭Lord, please give my boss patients, I don’t get paid enough for him to yell at me for something I didn’t even do 😭
Levi
📲 Tell her she has a month, I’m losing money by the damn day! Also let her know that after that I’ll be taxing her ❄️
Debt Collectors
📲 Yes sir, understood
Debt Collectors
💭I wanna go home 😭
Debt Collectors
*walks back over*
Hailey
W-what did he s-say
Debt Collectors
You have 1 month, after that we’ll be taxing you ever week it’s late ❄️
Hailey
A-a month?! T-that’s not nearly enough t-time for my to get $10,000
Debt Collectors
That’s not my problem lady ❄️
Debt Collectors
Have a good day
*walks back to his car and drives off*
Hailey
*closes the door*
💭Oh no oh no oh no, what am I gonna do?! We can barley even get by with my own paycheck
Noah, Vicky, and Elijah walk downstairs
Hailey
*puts on a calm expression*
Hailey
I’m fine and don’t worry about
*fake smiles*
Vicky
Mom don’t give us that bullshit! If everything was fine then why was that man at our door asking for money?!
Elijah
*puts a hand on her shoulder as if saying calm down*
Noah
Mom...we know that this is serious, please tell us what’s going on, we don’t wanna see you suffer
Vicky
Exactly! Don’t just play this off just like how you did when dad suddenly went missing, we need the truth!!!
Vicky
...I-I’m sorry mom, I’m just frustrated that we are stuck and you keep playing this everything is good smile, we know that everything isn’t good and we want the truth
Noah
Exactly, we don’t want you to carry this burden alone mom...please tell us what’s going on
Hailey
*sigh*
Alright...you guys do deserve to know the truth by now... you see, your father took a loan of $10,000 from loan sharks, he apparently had 4 months to pay them back, as we know he’s gone and we don’t know where he went...a-and now I-
*Her voice cracks as her eyes fill with tears*
Noah
*goes over to hug her*
Elijah
Why didn’t you tell us this sooner?!
Hailey
I-I didn’t w-want you k-kids to worry, it’s not y-your jobs to worry about a-stuff like t-this
Vicky
*goes over and sits down next to her*
Elijah
*also goes over and pats her back*
Elijah
How long did they give us...
Hailey
I-I know *sniff* but they gave your f-father f-four months to pay them b-back
Vicky
💭That damn trash bag! How the hell could he blow that much money then just leave us here in this ditch!
Elijah
💭This is complete bullshit! Damnit! I might need to find a part time job
Noah
💭I don’t know how to help, damnit, I can’t be this useless, but I also can’t work I’m to young...maybe I could make people pay me to do their homework? O-or maybe I’ll sell some of my collectibles
Elijah
Mom I’ll find a part time job
Hailey
N-no you need to f-focus on your grades a-and school work
Elijah
I’ll find a balance, and we need this, we all know that your paycheck isn’t gonna be enough
Vicky
Exactly, and I’ll take up babysitting
Hailey
*tears up seeing how much her babies wanna help*
Noah
I-I can try sell some of my collectibles
Hailey
N-no Noah you don’t need to
Noah
It’s fine mom...we need to money
Hailey
*pulls all 3 into a hug*
Hailey
What did I do to end up with 3 lovely kids
Vicky
You were just the greatest mom
Noah
No other explanation needed
Author/Ali
Hello readers, I am still working on making my stories interesting, so I hope you like this first part
The kids help
Hailey
Goodbye kids I’m heading off to work! Behave while I’m gone, and I love you guys
*closes the door as she walks out*
Noah
Good bye, have a good day!
Elijah
Damnit...you know what I heard the coffee shop down the road is looking for helpers, I guess I could apply
Vicky
Hmmmm, I mean I guess, you better start walking down there then
Elijah
Yeah, yeah
*grabs his bag with what he needed and walks out the door*
Noah
So...what should we do?
Vicky
I could sell some of my old outfits that I made
Noah
I forgot that you were into making clothes
Vicky
Yup, I could sell them online
Vicky
But I’m gonna need help
Vicky
Well I need a model of course
*she said it as if Noah was dumb for asking*
Noah
W-what does that have to do with m-me?!
Noah
I was gonna sell some of my figurines!
Vicky
As I said, I need to have a model, and your the only one here
Vicky
If we wanna make money then you need to do this!
Noah
...I don’t wanna wear girl outfits 😭
Vicky
Now let me go get the outfits, we’re lucky that school doesn’t start into next week
Noah
I’m gonna die from embarrassment
Vicky
Hush, I won’t get your face into the photo, maybe
Vicky
Alright so I’m gonna need you to wear
After Noah was forced into all those outfits and Vicky took pictures she uploaded them saying they were for sale and put the price
Noah
I’m going to my room hmph
Shara
📲: Hello, I saw that you were selling those beautiful dresses and I’d like to buy the 2nd one off the shoulders black dress
Vicky
📲: Hi there and thank you so much, it will be $25.99 and fill out the information and I’ll be able to ship it to you
Vicky
📲:Yes because it’s the dress and the accessories that come with it
Shara
📲:Okay that makes sense
After Shara filled out the information
Vicky
📲:Alright I’ll be sending it to you, thank you and have a good day
Shara
📲: Thank you and you too
Vicky
Yes! Yes! Yes! NOAH!!!
Noah
*runs downstairs tripping half way and falling down the rest of the stairs*
Vicky
I think your a little special
Vicky
Anywho we got 1 person to buy one of the dresses
Noah
Oh hey, she lives in the same country as us
Vicky
What?
*looks down and checks the address*
Vicky
Wait a damn minute, isn’t this a address in one of those fancy ass houses?
Noah
I think so, I’m not fully sure
Vicky
Oh well, not like it matters I guess we are worlds apart anyways
[Time Skip to when Elijah got home]
Vicky
*turns to the door*
Elijah
I’ll be getting paid $13.29 an hour
Vicky
Oh yeah I have good news
Elijah
What would that be?
Vicky
Someone bought the dress that I made and put online
Elijah
Damn, how much did you make?
Noah
I also put some of my stuff online, sadly no one’s purchased anything
Elijah
I’m pretty sure because no one wants whatever dorky thing you have to offer
Vicky
Anywho mom texted saying she was gonna have to work a night shift, so dinner will need to be thought of for us
Elijah
Damnit...at this rate she’s gonna work herself to death
Noah
I’m getting concerned, this can’t be good for someone like her to be taking on
Vicky
Agreed but theirs not much we can do, we only have a month to scrape money together
Elijah
Agreed and $10,000 isn’t gonna be easy to get
Vicky
So what should we get for dinner?
Elijah
We could get something from that taco place down the road
Vicky
Uuuggghhh we’re gonna have to walk
Noah
I mean we can’t DoorDash since that’s gonna take money
Elijah
Or we could make something but we didn’t go grocery shopping yet so we basically have no food in the house
Noah
Alright so walking it is
Noah
Your the only one with money...
Vicky
*sigh*
Fine let’s go
After 15 minutes they were finally down the road
Elijah
Why are you guys complaining?! I literally walked down here then back up and then back down!
Elijah
And?! I walked down here and back up!!
Noah
My forehead is crying tears of pain
Elijah
Your being dramatic
As they were ordering in the taco place, it was a pretty popular place, soon the whole restaurant went silent as the doors opened a family that looked pretty rich walked in
Amber
*arm wrapped around her husbands arm*
Levi
*his arm his wrapped around his wife’s arm*
Shara
*besides the mother*
Waiter
Welcome Mr and Mrs Kwazuka your table is ready
Amber
Thank your darling for bringing me here on my birthday
Levi
*his voice held some warmth*
It’s the least I could do
Shara
*typing on her phone*
Vicky
*whispers*
Talk about being rich
Elijah
*whispers*
I know, they look and smell rich
Noah
*whispers*
That man looks scary and mean
Elijah
*whispers*
Let’s just get our food and get the hell out of here
Waiter
*leads the family to their section and hands them all a menu*
Waiter
My name is Marcus and I’ll be taking care of you guys today
Levi
Order whatever you want baby ❄️
After Elijah them got their food they walked out, but as they were about to walk back home they saw a hit and run, another car hit a parked car and that parked car looked expensive
Vicky
*takes a picture of the cars license plate that was driving away*
Vicky
I really don’t wanna get involved in this, I don’t care if I took a picture of the car that just drove off
Noah
That looks pretty bad though even from here
Elijah
Yeah, that’s a big dent and the paint is scratched in that area
Vicky
But like...do we really wanna get ourselves involved in something that isn’t our business?
Elijah
Maybe we could ask for money for helping
Vicky
I mean we did help them so they can sue that car
Noah
We don’t even know where to start
Elijah
I mean we could go ask that rich family we saw earlier
Vicky
This is too much thinking
Noah
My stomach is literally about to eat itself
Vicky
*left a note on the car talker said “we saw someone hit your car and drive off the license plate is QOT675*
[Time Skip after almost an hour that family came out to their car]
Amber
Oh dear...that looks pretty bad
Shara
There’s a note on our car?
Levi
*grabs the paper and reads it*
Levi
...seems someone left a note explaining what happened and that driver’s license plate ❄️
Levi
It doesn’t have a name or number ❄️
Levi
Alright you guys wait in the car ❄️
Amber
Alright dear don’t be to long
Amber
*gets into the passengers seat*
Waiter
O-oh hello s-sir...what brings you back?
Levi
I need to speak to your manager, my car was hit in the parking lot and I need those video that was taken from your guyses security camera ❄️
Waiter
O-of course sir, let me go fetch my manager for you
*turns and bolts to the back*
Manager
Hello, are you the one who requested my assistance sir?
Levi
Yes I did, I’d like to see your video tapes from within the past hour, my car was involved in a hit and run, and there was a note left but I’d like to see who left it ❄️
Manager
Of course, follow me
*leads him to the security room*
Manager
Hmm let’s see
*rewinds the cameras in the parking lot*
Manager
Aaahhhh, here we go
*he hits play*
The video shows what happened and 3 kids who witnessed it and the girl who recorded the car leaving and the writing the note and sticking it to his car
Manager
O-oh? And what would that be sir?
Levi
I see that they are holding a take out bag form this restaurant, I’d like for you to find their call record and give me their number, I’d like to contact them ❄️
Manager
...we are not supposed to give away information like that
Levi
I understand that, I’ll pay you $4,000 to give me whatever number belong to those 3 people ❄️
The old man knew that he shouldn’t but like, $4,000 for finding the number and not only that this was one of his most loyal customers, he’s the main reason this place was still running 3 years ago
Manager
Y-yes sir, thank you, I’ll have my workers find that number for you
[Time Skip after 15 minutes]
Waiter
*walks over with a small peice of paper*
Waiter
A-after going through the call records we had written down on our books we had found the number that belong to those 3 people, h-here you go sir
*hands him the paper*
Levi
Mhm ❄️
*grabs the paper and walks out to his car*
Amber
So honey? How did it go, did you get the number?
Levi
Indeed, it was left by 3 kids 2 boys and 1 girl, I got their number ❄️
Shara
*listening in on the conversation*
Liam
*busy listening to his music*
Levi
After watching the cameras the girl recorded the whole thing, I want that footage to see the person in the car, the one on the camera wasn’t of best quality ❄️
Amber
Oh my, even off the clock you still think like a business man dear
Elijah
*runs into the living room where Noah and Vicky were*
Elijah
Someone’s calling my phone?!
Vicky
You don’t know them?
Noah
So what should we do?
Noah
Mom told us to never answer numbers that we don’t know
Elijah
This is the second time this number has called me
Vicky
Maybe we know them?
Vicky
Like they are a long distance family member?
Elijah
But why call me and not mom?!
Elijah
I don’t know!! That’s why I’m out here!
Vicky
*snatches the phone and answers it and puts it on speaker*
Vicky
📲H-hello? Who is this
Levi
📲 I am the man of the car that you guys left a note on ❄️
Elijah
📲 How can we help you?
All 3 of them were panicking on the inside
Levi
📲 I’d like the recording of the girl who took it in the parking lot, I’m gonna use it to sue the man who hit my car ❄️
Vicky
📲 O-oh ah sir, I thought you got the recording from the restaurant
Levi
📲 I wanna see the person driving the car and the license plate wasn’t clear in the video tape ❄️
Vicky
📲 A-alright we’ll send it to you
