I woke up when I felt someone touch my cheek. When I opened my eyes I saw Jack smiling in front of me. I couldn’t help but smile and lean over him.
"Good morning, Tatiana," he said and caressed my burned face. I turned my face away from him and smiled a little.
"I'm sorry, Jack. I... I'm not comfortable when someone is touching my face..." I explained. He just smiled at me.
"I know. Anyway, get ready, okay? It's your surgery today," he reminded. I nodded and get up from my bed. I sighed when I entered my bathroom. I'm not really comfortable around Jack, and I don't know why.
"Jill..." I suddenly muttered. My forehead creased when a figure flashed in my mind. Wait, who is Jill?
I washed my facre to erase that image. Why would ahy I think of someone I don't even know.
I saw Jack waiting for me. I sat beside him and looked at him intently. His
"J-jill..." Jack who's sitting in front of me nervously muttered."Oh, hello there, my dear brother! I've been calling you since like the last few months but you kept on ignoring me! Now fate really made a way to let me spank you!" Jill gayishly said."Babe, enough on it. He's on a date..." a familiar woman told the guy whom Jack's calling Jill."You two are in good terms now, huh?" Jack then fired back. My forehead knitted. What's with this three?"Yeah, and you seem finally moved on from my sister," the woman answered."Shut up, Moliana. I am moved on with Tatiana for years," Jack said and looked at me. I make a face and rolled my eyes on him."So, won't you introduce me, I mean, us, to your date?" That's Jill's voice.Before even Jack utter a word, I excuse myself. I know Jack's not comfortable whenever we're together and other people
"Why are we here?" I asked Jack. He just shrugged."You'll see," he just said and walked passed me.My forehead creased. Woah, what was that? Is he hiding a secret to me? The hell?I sighed as I followed him. I really don't want to go out for now because I'm not yet sure if someone might want me dead. Jack said that I will meet someone here today; I just don't know who. I just hope it's not one of my siblings or what. I honestly don't want to go back to my family yet. Jack said my siblings would be happy because they mourned me. The case is I don’t know why I don’t want to see them yet.When I got closer; I saw Jack talking to the person that he would introduce me to. He is unfamiliar so I guess I'm safe."Oh, she's here," Jack an

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have been cleared to land at Xander International Airport. Please make sure, for one last time, that your seat belt is securely fastened. The flight attendants are currently passing around the cabin to make a final compliance check and pick up any remaining cups and glasses. Thank you.” I quickly wore my sunglasses upon hearing the announcement. I looked at the window beside me and inhaled deeply as I began to tremble while examining the view of Pampanga. After five years, it is still the same. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Xander International Airport!” Finally, the almost seven-hour flight from Australia to the Philippines is over. I sighed to myself and grabbed my purse. When I was all set, I got off the plane with the other passengers. I was welcomed by the gloomy sky and the cold breeze of the night. Good thing I wore my coat.
I woke up gasping for air as I screamed at the top of my lungs. Damn it! Since yesterday, after we met, I started having nightmares again. Damn him! Why do I have to meet him again? Why can't he just leave me alone? I decided to start my day. It's already five in the morning so there’s still time to take a walk. I need some air. I put on my sports bra and leggings, and put my playlist in the shuffle. Since I came back here, I never went outside—except if it's important, of course. I'm scared that our paths might cross again... I’m still not healed. Though… Pampanga isn't that wide so there’s a big possibility that we would meet. But as much as I can, I will avoid that to happen. Running around the park felt as If I never left. Pampanga stayed the same and I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad…
The white-painted ceilings greeted me as I opened my eyes. I was brought to the hospital. The nurse who assisted me said that I've been sleeping for ten hours, and mentioned that someone sent me here at three-thirty in the morning but he didn't say who he is so they assumed that he's my boyfriend. So the intruder was a man?I'm not that severely injured so the doctor said that I can go home if I want to. I felt hesitant but I have nowhere else to go but my unit. I don't want to go back to the casa either.The trauma I got from what happened last night still makes me flinch now and then. I already told the condominium management about what had happened and requested tighter security for it to happen again.I took a bath, hoping to get my mind off of what happened but to no avail. I decided to lie on my bed and continue my rest
I woke earlier than usual because Jill said that he would fetch me here. He also invited Moli so that the three of us could bond together. I took a half bath because it's just three o'clock in the morning, and the water is cold. I wore short shorts and a hoodie because it's cold outside.The drive took what felt like 6 hours and saw Moli waiting for us at the entrance. She's wearing a sleeveless yellow dress that was covered with a blazer. She looked up when she felt our stares at her and jumped excitedly as she walked towards us. She's smiling from ear to ear and her eyes are glistening with happiness. I smiled back and we hugged each other.“Oh, my gosh! I can't believe that you’re back!” she beamed. She eyed me from head to toe and pinched me in the cheeks. “Gosh! You're really real!”I chuckled, “Of
