BROKEN...A Story By Fabzgrace by Fabzgrace(f): 7:16pm On May 02, 2016
PROLOGUE “A broken heart is one of those experiences that all of us as humans can share, yet you can only experience alone. As humans, we’re wired to experience incredible love and affection. But for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction, and when it comes to the ecstasy of true love, that reaction is a gut-wrenching pain, a deep void of sadness, utter lethargy, and feelings of seemingly eternal loneliness.” © all rights reserved story by fabzgrace image from s-factor. It was Friday. Ah,the weekend finally TGIF She was to pick up a dress from her favorite mall. It was all for mama. Mama and dad’s 25th silver anniversary was the next day and she had opted to pick up a suprise dress for mama. While on the bus, she was reminiscing. It seemed just like yesterday when she was that little girl that always wanted to be with mama all the time she loved the fact that all through those years her father been a very loving one had stayed with her ‘mama’ despite her mothers consistent nagging. She wished she would find someone that had similar characteristics with her loving father. She had almost passed her stop when she called on the conductor that she wanted to alight. she got down and headed into the city’s biggest mall. her name was Tracy. ****

As soon as she got in she was overwhelmed, she didn’t know which dress was right again. She felt like buying the mall itself. If only she had the money she thought to herself. While still basking in her fantasies she was interrupted he was quite handsome… “hello, a lady as beautiful as you shouldn’t be confused in making picks,I’ll Help you.” a young man said “And who are you?” she replied sternly “I’m sorry miss, my name is George and I’m a sales rep here to Help customers make their choice” “oh, I’m sorry I replied in a harsh tone,anyway I’m here to get a gown for my mother,shez having her anniversary and I … ” she went on and on. “oh I can Help” . he took her in a section and brought out a very lovely green gown wow, beautiful she said “you like?” “I love it. thank you a bunch.” “you’re welcome mi lady he said as he walked away I hope they love your choice.” tracy paid for the dress and left the mall. she was contented but she also had something in mind the sales guy…
Re: BROKEN...A Story By Fabzgrace by Fabzgrace(f): 7:23pm On May 02, 2016
she got home.everything was fine,they loved the dress. wow,what a lovely dress,you sure have good taste and thanks for the suprise mama said tracy loved calling her mama, she was mrs gloria obi,a midwife by profession,a wife to her darling husband and a mother to her only child. reason why she must have loved tracy so much. mama you know How much I love you,this is just little compared to the things I’ll do when I finally get a job. she had graduated from the university a year earlier and was still searching for a job. tracy, don’t worry you’ll find your job soon,she had studied advertising. meanwhile, he just got home. wow welcome home george,I know you’re famished here,have something to eat. thanks mum he said. where are my siblings? they went to a function. george, our house rent is expiring this month,what are we gonna do his mother said. george reminisced. he thought about How his father died when he was little and about How his mother had struggled to send him to the university and educate his other siblings. Now,it was his turn to Help them since hos mother had already retired. he wished he could turn things around. since he graduated,unable to secure a job,he had resorted to being a sales rep for that mall,his pay was meager, but he would manage it and make good use of it. GEORGE!!! he was jolted back to reality. were you listening to me,his mother asked sternly Yes mum, God will provide. lemme see what I’ll be able to do. he stepped outside contemplating who to visit.
Re: BROKEN...A Story By Fabzgrace by Fabzgrace(f): 7:24pm On May 02, 2016

I’m so sorry he said as he helped her pick her bag. itz okay,but pls next time watch where you’re going. she said as she walked away briskly. miss,miss.. he wanted to appologize properly or maybe even know her name. she was gone. he smirked and moved on. TRACY the party went well. she couldn’t have been happier. everyone was there. her parents looked lovely. At the end, her father came up to her. Tracy I have something for you he said as he handed over a card to her. she quickly skimmed through and opened her mouth in amazement. Dad, A job ?
Re: BROKEN...A Story By Fabzgrace by Fabzgrace(f): 7:25pm On May 02, 2016
Tracy was out and about, on her way to work that morning. it was her first day at work and she was nervous. How were her bosses and coworkers going to be? friendly or haughty? wicked or kind? That was something only time could tell. Earlier,her dad had given her a notice for employment and she had gone for an interview which she had passed. Quite nervous and anxious,She walked briskly checking out her dress almost every second. She didn’t know when she bumped into someone. ‘Why can’t you watch it ‘she said in an angry tone he walked away without saying a word ‘what nerve, he couldn’t even appologize’ tracy said Wait a minute, She said to herself ‘i know that guy..’ ‘yes,he’s that guy from the mall’ she was disappointed. ‘and I thought he was nice. So he just put up that act because he was at work, she mumbled to herself. She readjusted and went on, no one was going to deter her. GEORGE He was lost in deep thought. ‘oh God why me’ he said quietly He had just got to the company for the interview when he was told someone else had already got the job and then he left angrily. ‘whats wrong with me,I keep bumping into people lately and I dont even wait to appologize.What will I tell mum now? he pondered He decided he was going to have a rethink about his life. since he was off from work ‘this isn’t me any more, this isn’t me ‘ he thought.

Tracy was walking down the hallway again,but this time not nervously. She was happy,her first week at work had been amazing. She had been welcomed by all and sundry. she was still in thought when suddenly someone accidentally hit and spilt some coffee on her nice dress. It was a lady. “Why couldn’t you watch your movement? “she said. “that question should be redirected to you, because you were walking like you were in some sort of a haze and you collided with me when I was taking a sip of my coffee” the lady replied harshly “Oh really now , when ever was coffee made to drink while walking or perhaps you need to learn some etiquettes which you must have missed” tracy said “Miss,I think you rather need to be taught a lesson to think before you spew words to people” the pretty lady had replied “So a pot is calling a kettle black right. you need some help SUCKER ” Tracy said apparently,the lady was angered and pulled tracy by the hair and only for tracy to retaliate by pulling her likewise. A security guard had earlier saw them and was coming prolly to seperate them when things changed… even onlookers were suprised. “hahaha, you’re such an actress hunny ” tracy said “lol, who’d have thought” the lady replied the guard , obviously confused came up to tracy and asked. “ma’am I thought you needed some help” “lol,tracy said we were just acting and then whispered, she’s my best friend Pearl. “oh sorry ma’am the guard had replied and went away steathily. “Tracy, iv missed you so much and that’s why i decided to come to you since you wouldn’t come anyway. And you know I can’t come to your house because of your dad.You know…” “shhh, tracy had said. that’s a story for another day. anyway,I’m currently on my lunch break so let’s go out shall we?” “Of course, let’s check out this new restaurant at…” pearl said Both friends held hands as they left the premises.
Re: BROKEN...A Story By Fabzgrace by Fabzgrace(f): 7:27pm On May 02, 2016
Pearl and Tracy arrived at the bar and ordered some drinks “Tracy,there’s something I would like to tell you” “yes ,go on .” Tracy replied. “I don’t know how to put this but umm, I’ll be leaving for the states soon” she paused,looked up to Tracy and then continued. Trei (as she fondly called her bestie) , I just got a training opportunity, you know I have always wanted to be an interior decor even though I studied mass com in the university which was as a result of my aunts preference. Now I have the opportunity and I don’t wants to let it go cos I…” “Pearl, Tracy interrupted, I understand you and every decision you’ve made. I care so much about you, you are my best friend, the only one I’ll ever have. Ever since your parents passed away, I have been your sister,mother,father and everything you’ve always lacked and needed. Even when my Dad was(and still is ) against you because he feels you’re a bad influence,We have tried to prove to him you’re not. Even through your numerous heartbreaks I have never been against you and I won’t start now. I love you Pearl and I would always support you through thick and thin…” Pearl sobbed ” I love you too Trei,I have been a bad girl in recent times, defying all but you still continue to stand by me. I don’t know what i’d have done without you here with me, Thanks so much for understanding me” She sobbed louder and Tracy made to comfort her… Pearl had indeed been unlucky in life , from her parents death while she was still young via road accident. Leaving her to he indifferent aunt who cared less about her, to her numerous heartbreaks by guys whom she thought she had found solace with. Tracy was such an amazing friend,she had loved Pearl so dearly ,which was well reciprocated or so she thought

GEORGE he arrived home later that night,although disappointed he decided not to lose hope. Afterall, “the lord closes a door, somewhere else he opens a window” He had really been angered that day. having gotten there, full dressed and ready for the interview he was told someone else had already got the job. he silently cursed in his mind and felt like slapping the secretary. He had gotten home that day to the prying arms of his mum. she had complained and complained up to an extent that he left the house annoyed and decided to get a few drinks having been drinking for a while,he had got a phone call. it was his mum “hello mum” “george,please come home fast your sister has just been involved in an accident” “what he said hysterically. I’m coming home right away” he loved his family so much and couldn’t stand them getting hurt. he had quickly paid and headed home. ——————————————————– Pearl was walking down a lonely road. she had been such a stubborn dam. She went clubbing again, perhaps hoping to get lucky with a guy, but had ended up fighting with a girl who thought she was there to steal her man. she had been called a sl*t, home wrecker and what have you! She was wondering however her life took the wrong direction, when she was suddenly accosted by two guys… “hey,what’s a pretty lady like you doing out here by this time” the first guy said “maybe she needs some Help” the second guy replied “or some warmth” the first guy smirked and moved to block her movement “don’t you dare come near me” pearl said as she made to run, but was unlucky as she tripped and fell. “Just be a nice girl and give it to us willingly, cos by the way you are dressed, we know you’re a sl*t” the 1st guy said “please don’t come near me she said as she struggled to cover up part of her exposed body” they laughed and came closer, about to pull her up, when suddenly she heard some shouts and hits. “Let the young lady go” he said she could recognise his voice and Yes,she could recognise his face too. after much scuffle,the area boys ran away. “thank you mister” she said as he pulled her from the ground. “I suggest next time,you don’t keep late nights you could be hurt” he said as he scurried away. “wait”, she shouted. “you haven’t even told me your name” he was gone.

George had gotten home just in time for his sister. She was apparently hit by a vehicle, whose owner took to his heels after the accident. she was at home with their mother. “oh my God Martha, How did all these happen?” george was obviously asking a rhetorical question as no one answered. “she’ll be all right. Some kind friends of mine bought her some medicine” his mum said “I wish we could take her to the hospital mum” “Yea I wish for that too, but we just don’t have the means George. I hope nothing bad would happen to your sister ” she said and cried “Mum, its okay. You know what, let’s take her to the hospital now. I’ll find a way to pay the bills. I just can’t leave her this way” George said They all took her there. ***** “Hello trei” Pearl said on the phone “Pearl hunny, How are you doing?” Tracy replied “I’m good, I called to ask if I could come visit. My aunt is out and I’m so bored…” “of course hun, you can come over. dad’s not home” trei chuckled. Pearl was there in a couple of minutes. “wow so fast, Tracy said as she came out to her. were you out my window all the time?” “Of course not, but I was actually on my way, I knew you wouldn’t say no” Pearl chuckled. “come on in pearl, Mum has missed you ” They both went in.
Re: BROKEN...A Story By Fabzgrace by Fabzgrace(f): 7:28pm On May 02, 2016
George was in quite a haze. He was jolted to reality when his phone buzzed. It was a text message. It read “Mr George X you have been invited for a second interview with XYZ company. Time is 8.00am Please be prompt.” George was so fixated, he couldn’t decipher. He didn’t think he’d be called Back after he had been told someone else had got the Job. He was thankful he didn’t punch the secretary in the face when he had the urge to. perhaps,he wouldn’t have been called back then. George was happy nonetheless,he had some washing to do. **** Pearl was still at Tracy’s house. “You know trei,its really hard to find you at home when you’re always working” she said “LOL Pearl its called ‘time off’. Im obviously on a leave. I had a couple of things to do ” “Trei I was almost violated last night, I was lucky a nice lad came to my rescue” “Haven’t I warned to about staying out late? Tracy queried Now see what had almost happened to you. Pearl its not the end of the world Charles left you. You’re a very pretty lady and I’m sure the one for you is still in line. Please don’t ever try staying out late again, or even if you do call me I’ll be right there…” “Hush, stop acting like my mother trei. Like I said it ‘ALMOST’ happened, it ‘DIDNT’ happen. Ok I promise, I’ll always call you anytime I’m out late okay.” Both friends laughed it off. “Trei , My Visa is completed and i’d be gone at the end of this month” Pearl said “So you’re really gonna leave me Pearl.” Tracy wore a sad look on her face. “Its just for two years not like its gonna be forever ,you know,I wish you could come with me” “yea, I wish that too. I’m going to miss you bestie, You’re even more than a best friend, you’re my sister.” “come here panda bear” Pearl said. They both hugged.

Tracy saw him far off. Isn’t this the same guy from the mall ?”she asked herself “what could he be doing here again?” “Hi” George said when they met. “Yes, and how can I help you?” she replied “Yes Yes , you definitely have to Help me” he said to himself albeit out loud “Pardon?” she said Tracy had decided not to take everything he said lightly, right from the time he bumped into her and couldn’t appologize. (yea girls can be stern when they want to) “Can’t you remember me, we met at the city’s mall and I was the sales rep that…” “And as such? she said unmoved I keep wondering why I see your face in this vicinity, are you like my stalker? Stay away from me” She walked out on him. ***** “Hey Tracy, her director said. Meet Mr George. He’s going to be your partner in the advertising team. ” She turned around and !!! “Sir , you mean this man over here? “she asked hysterically “Yes Tracy, do you know him ?” “No I don’t sir. Welcome on board Mr George” she said with obvious indifference,”I hope you’ll be able to keep up and deliver.If you’d excuse me Sir” She said and left. “Well Young man, once again Welcome to XYZ advertising company. I hope you deliver as I expect. After I read your CV, it reminded me a lot about myself when I was much younger and still hustling. You have worked in quite a number of places and its laudable” “Thank you sir. George replied. he was obviously blushing.” ” I have to leave now , your schedule would be sent to your desk.” the director said. *** George couldn’t have been more happy. he had just got a good job with an awesome pay, his last paycheck had been sent to him from his former job. He was able to pay his sisters hospital bill, He had appealed to his landlord to give him an ultimatum till the end of the month when he would pay the house rent, which was well received. But,he still felt incomplete. It had to be this beautiful girl Tracy . He wondered what wrong he had done to her because the last time they met, he could remember vividly that he was nice in helping her choose what she wanted and she had left happy and grateful. Now here she was acting all rude to him. He had made a resolution in his heart that he would make her forgive him. He had fallen for her.

“Good day everyone, Without much ado, i’d like to proceed to the main reason for this meeting. A client of this company needs a good AD campaign on fostering relationships. After much thought, I decided I want the best hands in this. So,Mr George and Miss Tracy you’ll be working hand in hand to ensure the utmost success in this. Ok everyone, you can all now get back to work.” the director said in a brief meeting at XYZ company. Tracy and George looked momentarily at each other. Tracy knew she couldn’t say no to her boss but she was determined to give George a tough time. “I’ll make things hard for him” she said to herself George was quite happy, at least he had a chance to prove to Tracy that he was worth being her friend. **** The next day at work, George walked up to Tracy. “Hi Miss, this is the plan I have for the ad campaign and I want to to review it and give me your opinion.”he said happily. Tracy looked or rather skimmed through it with a frown. “Mr George, is this the best you can offer? This has a lot of loopholes and isn’t even properly constructed. I mean, there’s no way we are presenting this to the director.” she said indifferently. “Ok miss, thanks for your advice. I’ll review it and come up with a better idea” “You better do” she said **** George left early from work. He had to think if better ideas for their agency,he didn’t want his first campaign to be crap. George decided to visit his friend James “Been a while we met up” he said to himself.
Re: BROKEN...A Story By Fabzgrace by Fabzgrace(f): 7:31pm On May 02, 2016
“Hey man” George said as he got to James place “Woa! Buddy, I thought you left us all already” James replied in amazement “Course not, Why would I . I can never forget the times you helped me man. It’s just been work..work..work.” “I understand u George. We all do. So are you done with work now.?” He asked sarcastically “You’re something man. Any way, I have a little problem at work,and I decided to chill out” “Aha, little wonder why you’re here”James said “Relax bro, I didn’t forget you okay!” “I’m just kidding bro, so what ‘LITTLE’ problem do you have?” said James with emphasis on little. “Mehn,It’s one babe like that ooo, one damsel, she’s been giving me heartaches” “LoL, George you of all people. Aren’t you the George I know again, The one who always got girls with the snap of a finger?”he asked amusingly “Yea, I’m still that George. It’s just that this girl,she’s something. I can’t help it when I’m with her, I just can’t . And now bro,we are working on a project together and she’s giving me a tough time, a real tough time. I just don’t know what to do about this” “Hush Now bro, you’re in the right place to solve your problems, let me consult the gods” he said sarcastically. “I ain’t joking bro. Be serious!” “Ok George,on a more serious note, do u have feelings for this girl?” “ummmm,I think I do.” “Be definite!” “Ok,Yes I do.” “hmmm, Do you think she likes you too bro?” “that’s what I’m not sure of, you see when we first met…” George narrated the whole story to James who stared amazed. “Wow Bro,then she is some kind of girl. You know what, my advice,from my heart is that you should give her some space,don’t Be always at her beck and call, you could disagree with her too and let her see reasons why you do. Then observe her,let’s see what she’ll do and after that,if you see she’s fallen then you BOOM go for it.” “You’re something James,good idea, I like it.” “Yea bro,and come tell me when she’s all yours (tongue out)” “Let’s drink,shall we?” *****

Monday came faster than expected. “Morning Tracy, I’ve got something for you. Here’s it”George said “I don’t like your presentation”Tracy said bluntly “why if I may ask?” “Because It’s still too vague “she replied “what’s vague in it, As far as I’m concerned this is one of the best proposals. There’s nothing good in anything you say, It’s always *starts mimicking her* It’s vague, it lacks coordination,It’s this,It’s that!” George talked back angrily, he was pissed. “d--n it Mr George, Ok suit yourself,Let it Be this way;my team and I would make our presentation,you and your team would also do yours let’s see which team the director would pick!”she said sternly “Yes,that’ll be worth it, we shall see” He walked out. Tracy was suprised with his sudden change in behavior.Nonetheless she was not going down without a fight she left to prepare hers too. **** “Hello all, I hope you’re ready with the presentation please proceed Tracy and George .” “Sir” Tracy got up “well, we both have different proposals and we’d like you to make your pick” “Ok,go on. Good thing our client is here with us,he could pick the best he likes”their director said George and Tracy glanced at each other. They both took turns in presenting. “… and so, fostering relationships keeps us stronger” George said as he ended his. “what do you think sir,which of these two wonderful proposals would you choose?”the director asked There was tension in the conference hall. “Wow,I must say these two proposals are great,It’s a hard choice picking one.” The tension intensified. ” I think, I’ll make do with both. you see, It’s like these two proposals have a link together,i’d like both presenters to merge the adverts.”the client said with glittering eyes “Thank you very much Mr Mike,the merged proposal would be sent to your desk tomorrow” “I beg to take my leave Now” Mr Mike the client said as he left. “Wow guys,you both are awesome, take the day out with your team,It’s all on me”the smiling director said. ****

“Tracy,where do you think we could go celebrate” Esther,a team member asked “I don’t know, do you know of a place?” “I think I know the perfect place”another team member said “let’s go,shall we?” *** They were there in a couple of minutes. “Wow, isn’t that George and his team members,what a coincidence!” esther said “Where?”Tracy said,disappointed. “Wow,it’d be nice anyway,we all got the victory,let’s go girl” “Are you sure they would be comfortable seeing us?” Tracy asked “Why won’t they, come on let’s go” Esther pulled her in by the arm “Wow,you guys are here too, come sit over here there are free sits here”George beckoned to them Tracy was quite uncomfortable, George noticed it and went to settle things with her. “I’ve noticed you’re uncomfortable,is it because of me?”George asked complacently “NO!” “I’m sorry,I talked rudely to you, earlier today” “I’m sorry too” Tracy said wholeheartedly “You know,I keep wondering what went wrong because,the first time we met at the mall,everything went smoothly,After our meeting,I longed to see your beautiful smiling face again,but what I met with was a frown, did I offend you in anyway?” “No,you didn’t I actually thought you had the wrong motives,I thought you were mean because the last time,you bumped into me and left without appologizing. I …” “oh! George interrrupted, You were the lady I bumped into that day, I’m so sorry,I didn’t take a look at your face.I was downcast that day after I was turned back and I had a lot on my mind.” “It’s okay, I judged you wrongly before,but now I know who you really are.” Tracy said “Well,let’s look into the future and forget about the past. Friends?” “Yea,friends.” They both shook hands. “Let’s dance.” George said “I’m not much of a dancer” Tracy replied “ooooh,you’re shy. don’t worry,I’ll teach you” He pulled her out to the dance floor.
Re: BROKEN...A Story By Fabzgrace by Fabzgrace(f): 7:39pm On May 02, 2016
Tracy was seated by the garden when Pearl came visiting. “Trei why staring dreamingly into space ehh?” There was no response. Pearl had to hit her on her head. “Tracy!” “Ehhh,umm,when did you get here?” Tracy asked “You were too engaged to notice. Tell me what you were thinking about?” She grabbed a chair. “It’s about someone I met and he…” “Tell me more about him” “Hes name’s George,we work together at the agency,He’s handsome,cheerful and he’s a gentle man. I want you to meet him Pearl” “Yea I want to meet him too and see the man that has captured the heart of my bestie,and also tell him to take good care of you and never to break your fragile heart…” “LOL” ” But Trei,I’m leaving tommorrow.” “What,I thought you said you’d leave at end of the month? why so soon?” “That’s how it is,I wasn’t sure of the date then,and I didn’t want to to start missing me already.” “Have you packed your bags, I’m not going to miss you” She said as a tear trickled down her face giving her out. “Don’t cry now,ehh Trei,It’s just for two years now and you have my number,we’d always talk.It’s for my future…” “I’m not crying. It’s tears of joy.” “so you’re happy I’m going erhh Trei” “of course not, I’m happy,you’re finally following your heart and you’re on your way to finding your happiness. You know what,let’s go in, dinner should be served” **** It was the next day and they were already at the airport. “Mum,please take care of Trei for me oo”Pearl said “Yes,do me a bigger favor my daughter, take good care of yourself, Do know that you’re always welcome in my house okay?” Tracy’s Mama said “Yes ma,I will.

Today’s my Birthday,she always call me, She’s always the first person to wake me up with HBD text messages, Now she hasn’t even done any.” “Yea hun,today is your day and you need not be worried. She may be having difficult time over there, she’ll definitely call you. Cheer up.” “I’m scared Mum,could something have gone wrong…” Tracy’s phone beeped. “Hello” “Hello Miss Tracy there is an emergency board meeting here at the office and the director asked that you’d be present” The secretary said “Oh, is it really important, you know,I took a off from work today cos It’s my birthday and I…” The secretary cuts in “sorry Ma’am, order from above.

I see you're trying to quote your dialogues but it's not reflecting. It's more like you copied your work from another place to post it here.
All you have to do press enter twice.
Your story is making sense but I think they are some points you don't expressly show some events and it's making the story have loopholes.

Meanwhile, the storyline is making sense. And it talks more about the fear women have when they see a man moving towards them. They want to sieve out his intensions and see what he has in mind.
I recommend this to every guy out there that feels a lady is snubbing or acting strangely to them.
