Dreams Episode 3

Candy meets Chase
.
.
Chase Delgado
*
*
“You did a great Job Chase! , Nick remarked as he sat beside me in the car
Whatever. I mumbled
he scoffed at me and signalled to the driver to start driving .
So when will you be done with the song? he asked
“I don’t know”. I drawled
“You really have to be fast about it because you will be singing that in my next record.
I kept mute
“Do you understand me? he asked frowning
“Yeah”. I grunted
I plugged in my earphones listening to music to avoid any more questions from him.
*
*
The driver drove into the mansion and parked
I alighted from the car and walked straight into the house. I met my Dad seated in the sitting room .
“Chase ! he called standing,Is this what you really want?.
“What are you talking about?” I asked confusedly
“I am talking about you helping Nick sing,Why the hell are you letting him control you?he yelled
Because he has no choice”. Nick replied walking in
“Shut up Nick! Dad barked
“What! Did you just tell me to shut up because of your illegitimate son”. he yelled
“Watch your word Nick”. Dad warned
“And why would I ? he scoffed, I never asked you to sleep with a dumb maid
“Nick! I called clenching my fist in anger, you promised never to hurt my mom again if I do whatever you say”. I yelled
he looked at me and scoffed
“you are just a pathetic coward. he cursed and stomped up the stairs in anger
I bit my lips watching him leave
“Chase ! My dad called and I turned to look at him
“Is that the reason why you let him control you?
I stared on at him without saying anything
Chase ! he called again, please talk to …..
“Why do you suddenly care? I asked frowning
“because you are my son”
Then why don’t I feel like one? I asked as tears streak down my face , why do I feel like I am not wanted in my father’s house
“Chase! he called softly
My mum and I endured all sort of abuse from Nick and your so called wife but you turned a blind eye to it ,Why? Is it because she is dumb
“I am sorry Chase. he apologised, I am sorry for not being there for you and your mother, I promise to make it up to you
“Make it up to me? I laughed , What more can you do for me?
“I can help you become famous”. he replied ,
you are unbelievable!
I turned to leave , and he caught me by my arms
“What do you want?”. I asked freeing myself from his grip
“Let me know whenever your mind is made up”. he said
“Whatever! I muttered and headed up the stairs to my room…
*
*
I pushed the door to my room opened and was surprised to see my mum seated on my bed
“Mum!. I called while studying her, she looked gloomy.what is wrong?
She looked up at me before scribbling down some words in a notebook she was holding ,She gave it to me to read when she was done writing
“I heard you arguing with your father and brother “.
“It is nothing mum”. I assured dropping the book on the bed but she shook her head frowning
“Fine! I sighed, Dad promised to help me but I am really confused
She picked the book from the bed and scribbled down some words into it again before placing it on my laps
“Is it because of your brother? I know how much you love singing so please promise me you won’t give up on it just to please your brother”
I read it and smiled
“I promise mother”. I said pulling her into a hug.
She disengaged from the hug and wrote again in her note book
“Can you help me to take some food supplies to my sister at the orphanage?. She requested
“Where are the supplies?”. I asked
“In the kitchen”. She wrote
*
*
I headed downstairs to the kitchen and saw the two sacs filled up with food supplies
“Is she planning on giving all of this to the orphanage? I wondered
I instructed two of the servants to carry the sacs to the car while I followed behind them
“And where are you going with those Sacs?.a voice asked
I turned around to the direction of the voice and smirked when I saw Mrs Delgado…..or should I say Nick’s mother climbing down the stairs
“hi ma. I greeted
“Where are you going with that?. She repeated ignoring my greeting
“The orphanage .i replied and she scoffed
“I can see your dumb mother is on it again”. She drawled
“Please leave my mother out of this”
And why would I? She is nothing but a b---h
“B---h? I scoffed,did you just call my mother a b---h?
Yes. She replied, and what can you do about it?
Don’t push me to the wall Mrs Delgado. I warned and stomped out of the house in anger
Ungrateful Jerks!
*
*
I drove over to the orphanage thinking about what transpired earlier on
Both Nick and his mother are a thorn in my flesh
“When will they stop humiliating mother? Will Dad really help me just like he promised?
“D--n. I cursed while hitting the steering wheel
I was really confused..
*
*
I parked in front of the orphanage and alighted from the car
I smiled at the little children playing in front and walked in to the front room
I Met two young nuns in the room and asked after my aunt
“She is over at the next room”. one of them replied, wait here let me inform her of your presence
“You can have your seat. the second nun gestured smiling”
“Thanks. I muttered while sitting down ..
*
I stood up when I saw my Aunt coming out from the next room
“Aunty Clara! I called walking closer to her
“How are you chase? She pulled me into a hug, you really grew to be so handsome
“You look good also. I remarked disengaging from the hug
“Stop flattering me, I am just a plain Nun. Why are you here? Did you miss me?
“Mum asked me to bring some food supplies to you”. I replied
“So that is the reason you are here? She frowned,
“I came also because I miss you”.I assured and she smiled
“Where are the ……. she stopped when an older nun called while walking towards us
“Good evening head nun. she greeted the woman
“Why are the kids playing around by this time?. the woman frowned , aren’t they suppose to be having music lessons?
“The girl taking them is yet to be around”
“What! She exclaimed, I thought I made it clear to her never to be late . What are we going to do about it?
“I don’t know”. My aunt shrug or …….will you take them?. She asked facing me
“Me? Why me?” I asked
“Because you are good at singing. She replied
“Who is he? the head nun asked
“He is a Delgado”my aunt replied smiling
Delgado? the head nun asked in surprise, I am really happy to have you in our midst . Can you please sing for the kids ?
“I won’t be…….”
“Pleaaaassssseeee”. She pleaded , just for today
“Fine. I sighed

I threw my backpack on the bed , pulled off my clothes and quickly changed into my house clothes
I glanced at the time , it was 6:00
“D--n. I cursed , I was already late
I picked up my phone and scurried out of the house ignoring Max and his questions
“What will I tell the head nun? I wondered, will I tell her I got delayed by my teacher because I couldn’t solve a simple equation? I just hope she understands me because I really need the job, I really need to support my family
•
I flagged down a taxi and got in
“holy child orphanage. I called and the driver nodded before driving off
.
The driver stopped in front of the orphanage and I paid him after alighting
I was surprised to see a beautiful black sport car with the name DELGADO. C customised as the plate number.
What is a Delgado car doing here at the orphanage?
I walked into the orphanage and was surprised when I met no one
“Where did they all go? I wondered as I walked through a long passage
I stopped when I heard a voice singing my favourite song
I walked towards the door and listened closely , it sounded like Nick voice, no it was Nick voice
I pushed the door opened and was surprised to see everyone in the room listening to a boy on white sing
They were all mesmerised with his voice and took no notice of me
“How can be sing exactly like Nick? I wondered staring at him
*
The whole room applauded when he was done singing
“He was d--n good”
Wow! I exclaimed loudly and he turned to look at me
I almost peed on my pants when his gaze met mine ,how can someone be this cute?…..

I woke up very early the next Day. It was a practical day and I had to be in class so early
I looked at Max who was still snoring and tapped him gently
“Wake up kiddo or you will be late to school”
he steered in his sleep mumbling some words and continued snoring
Is he kidding me?
I stood on the bed and kicked his butt
Ooooouc! he exclaimed jolting up from sleep
Why did you do that? he frowned rubbing his butt
That is to teach you to be an early riser. I replied grinning
Crazy! I heard him muttered
I jumped down from the bed and went over to the wardrobe to bring out my uniform
I placed my uniform on the ironing table, plugged in the iron and started ironing
Are you going to Delgado music high today? Max asked while watching me iron my uniform
How did you know about it? I asked, you were already asleep when Father broke the news to me
I wasn’t really sleeping so I overheard it
I looked at him and smirked
So are you going today?he repeated
No the interview will take place tomorrow. I replied
After the interview, what next?
I don’t know. I shrugged .
But if you …………
Max! I called , go and take your bath
But I just ……
Just go Max. I instructed
Fine. he sighed
He dragged himself out of bed and went over to the bathroom
Lazy boy!
I plugged out the iron when I was done ironing and placed it gently on the floor .
I pulled off my clothes and wrapped my towel around me
Max! I called loudly, what are you doing in……..
I am done! he announced returning to the room with his briefs on
Were you planning on sleeping in there? I drawled
Just go and bath. he frowned
I smiled at him, he was obviously still angry with me for ignoring his questions
*
I went into the bathroom to freshen up and returned to the room when I was done
Max was not in the room, I guess he was done dressing
I quickly changed into my uniform, put on my shoes , grabbed my back and headed to the sitting room
*
I met my mum and Max eating in the sitting room
“Good morning mum! I greeted
Morning Candy! She greeted smiling, how was your night?
Fine mum . I replied and she smiled
Have your seat let me go get your breakfast
Don’t worry mom I will pass, I will get something at the school cafeteria
Do you have enough money?
Not really but I will manage the one I have
Alright dear
I was about leaving the house when she called me
I turned to look at her and was surprised to see tears streaming down her face
Are you alright mum? I asked
She nodded. I am just happy for you, I am happy you finally got a chance to show you talent
Mum! I called softly
I am sorry baby for everything. She apologised, I was not happy with your grades and I wanted you to improve ..
I understand mum.I assured her
Thanks dear. She said pulling me into a hug
I will be your number one fan. She whispered Into my ears and I smiled ……

*

I got to school feeling excited about everything
I walked to my class humming my favourite song titled “my only hope” by Nick
*
I walked into the noisy classroom and smiled when I saw Zara busy with her books as usual
Zara! Zara! I called while walking towards her
hey candy! she greeted , what is up? you look really excited
Of course I am. I replied grinning , my dad got me the scholarship form of Delgado music school,I whispered
Are you serious? she asked
Yes friend, I will be a scholarship student of Delgado music school if I get to pass the interview
How did your dad get the form? She asked in whispers
his boss is a top staff of the school and Guess what? he is also Kira father
Kira Montez? She screamed aloud and the whole class turned to look at her
What happened to Kira? Mia asked, she is the principal daughter and loved making fun of others
It is none of your business. Zara retorted and she scoffed
Crazy! She cursed
Don’t mind her. I said to Zara who was still glaring at Mia and she smiled
So what were we saying , do you mean you will also get to see your Nick?she teased
I don’t know. I shrug
Why? She asked, I bet you will see him because he goes there
Sure, I drawled . how will I explain to her that I wish to see someone else and not Nick?

I went over to my seat when the chemistry teacher walked into the class
I dislike the teacher because I hated the subject
In fact I dislike all the teachers because I hated all the subjects
*
The whole class became quiet when he started teaching
I stared blankly at the board not understanding a single thing
I sighed as my mind drifted off to the cute guy, I thought about his cute smiles, his black hair , his sea blue eyes …….
Chase! Will I ever see you again ?

I stretched when I woke up and was surprised to see my mom sleeping beside me
When did she get here? I wondered
I pecked her lightly on her cheek before standing up from the bed
I walked into to the bathroom to freshen up and returned to the room when I was done
I went over to the wardrobe and changed into a blue jean and a red hoodie
I sat on the bed to put on my shoes when I felt someone tug at my clothes
I turned back and smiled when I saw my mom already awake
Good morning mom! I greeted and she smiled
I am going over to the studio with Dad. I informed and she smiled widely
Mum you gonna have a tear if you continue smiling like that. I teased staring at her face
She nodded smiling as tears streaked down her face
She was happy and I knew it
Mum! I called taking her two hands into mine . I am going to become successful and I will make sure no one mock or taunt you again
She nodded smiling
I need to get going now. I informed while standing
See ya later . I waved and walked out of the room
*
*
I met my dad and Nick’s mother arguing in the sitting room and they stopped immediately they saw me
It was to late as I heard most of the things they said
Nick’s mum was trying to persuade my dad to forget about the son of the maid, which was me but my dad warned her not to call me that again
“ I am ready Dad! I informed and he smiled
Bastard! Nick mom cursed at me before heading up the stairs
Don’t mind her son, she is just being jealous
I know
Can we go now? he asked
Sure. I replied……..
*
*
We soon got to the Delgado music school and my dad parked in the parking lot meant for VIP
We alighted from the car and walked in together
I was surprised to see most of the students staring at me
Why are they all staring? I wondered
*
There were six men and two ladies in the studio when we walked in
Sir Chase! one of the lady called , I am Brenda and it nice finally getting to meet you. Your dad has told us all about you and we are so eager to work with you
Thanks! I appreciated
I wonder why your brother Nick choose to record in another studio. She continued, do you have an Idea why he does that?
That is his headache, My dad replied . Can we get start recording?
“Sure, she replied and instructed the others to get ready
I guess she is the boss here
She led me to a glass room and instructed me on what to do
Do you understand? She asked and I nodded
Start singing when the blue light turns red. She instructed and walked out of the glass room
I watched the light and started singing immediately it turned red. I sang a love song I composed titled “only you “without even knowing why
*
*
🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
*
My tears remember
*
It fills up your seat
*
I try erasing you but I can’t erase you
*
You have become my everything
*
Oh you, I can’t see you
I can’t hear you
But I am okay
*
Goodbyes are sad
My heart aches
*
But if you are happy ,if you can smile then I will be okay
*
I will miss you
The more I erase you
*
I will shed more tears than today
*
By fate I won’t have anyone like you
*
Only you only you
*
I just hope you are happy………..
*
*
I removed the head phone when I was done singing and heard the applauds of everyone in the studio
I smiled walking out of the glass room and they all kept on applauding
“You are a born celebrity! one of the men remarked, where have you been hiding since?
Chase! my dad called coming closer to me, you did a good job
I never knew you were this good. he said as tears rolled down his eyes
I looked at him in surprise, I have never seen him cry before
Dad! I called softly and he chuckled
“Where did the idea of the song come from? he asked wiping his tears, have you ever been in love before?
I shook my head and he smiled
When should we release the song? Brenda asked smile , the song is remarkable…. but wait a minute. you voice is so similar to Nick’s , is it a kind of brotherly connection?
Maybe . I replied smiling
Brenda! my dad called , I want the song released now
Sure . She replied and signalled at the men
Why so soon? I asked my dad
Because the song is too good to be delayed . he replied grinning
The door suddenly flung opened and Nick stormed into the room
How could you dad? he yelled, how could you choose this illegitimate bastard over me your legitimate son?
How do you expect me to choose between my two sons? Dad asked , I am just trying to be fair to both of you because I love you both
How can your bastard and I share the same spot in your heart?
Shut up Nick! Dad barked , he is not a bastard and I will make sure no one calls his illegitimate again
What do you mean dad? Nick asked frowning
“I plan on marrying his mother legally and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Dad replied and I gasped in surprise
Dad! I called softly, do you really mean it
Yes. he replied smiling
Done! Brenda announced loudly , the song have been released
What!! Nick exclaimed loudly, this cant be happening……:
