PHOEBE could only look at her suitcases being dragged around by her friends. They are now heading to the boat port. Yesterday at three o'clock her cousins came. They all bonded at Laurel's house. It's a good thing that her dad is in Manila, he only comes home twice a month because of work. "It's like I don't want it anymore," she snorted, still following the suitcase. It's like at any time she can grab it and run just so they can't go on. She felt sad. She is not ready to leave her friends here. Her hand clenched. She was about to grab the suitcase when she felt someone tap on her shoulder. "You try." It was Shaella, raising her eyebrows looking at her. Her pouted even more. She tenderly hugged her cousin's arm. "Ella, I'm not going to come." She shook her head. "They won't agree." She pointed her friends in front of them using her lips. She looked at them. Her male friends were laughing with Mechael. They're girls are in the back. It's feeling new. Ever since they left Laurel
"NO! That's not true!” Phoebe couldn't help but scream at what she heard. She felt something squeezing her heart and it was very painful. Her heart has already been hurt too much. She doesn't want another heartache to keep her heart from being fully burned. But after what she heard it was like a dozen bombs were thrown at her. She heard her Aunt Tella sobbing. When she looked at her, her eyes were filled with tears. "I hope all this is not true. Even me, don't want to believe everything." She shook her head until she sobbed. She doesn't believe it. She is the real daughter of her parents. They are her real parents. "Viona and Miguel have a daughter but she died due to a serious illness. We were still on Isla Verde when that happened. It had a big impact on Viona. We can't talk to her anymore, she doesn't even eat anymore. We were worried about her so Miguel thought of taking her to Manila for treatment. They stayed there for a month but when they came back you're with them.” It wa
"ARE you ready, babe?" Phoebe looked at the man sitting next to her on the plane.During her five years in Brazil, he was her companion. Her parents introduced him. He's a traveler so she didn't see him when the Sandejas got together. But when she met him, the others were surprised because he never left their country. Until she gave birth to her twins, he was just there by her side.He's Nathaniel. She sighed and looked out the window. And she only see the clouds. After five years of staying in Brazil, she got used to that country. She shook her head remembering the time when Mechael said they were going to the States but the truth was that she wasn't with them. Only the family went there for Aunt Tella's operation. But her real family took her to Brazil. Sandejas family was awesome. They're all kind, everyone accepts her. Her family was happy when they returned from Brazil. During her one year there, she think she threw a homecoming party every day. But they were very careful with
PHOEBE is already lying on the bed. She was in between by her twin son. She couldn't sleep that night. She glanced at her cellphone that was on her desk, near her bed. She sighed and nodded slowly so the two wouldn't wake up. When she finally got out of bed, she took her cellphone and went out to the veranda. Maybe he's still awake. She looked for Caldwell name in her contacts and called him. It took a while before he was answered.'Thank god, he's still awake.' "Hello? Speaking?” direct answer from the person on the other line. She moved the cellphone away from her ear when the woman answered it. What the hell? She put it back in her ear again. "Hello?" Its really a female voice. Her voice seems familiar to her thought. "Wife, who's that? Let sleep.” She raised her eyebrows when she heard the man's voice. It's not Caldwell. When she look at the number she had called, it was Caldwell name. Did Caldwell change his number and give it to others? "Wait love, someone is calling my b
A while ago, Nate was quiet so Phoebe was nervous. She was afraid to speak because he might ask her something. He couldn't answer all of that yet. She's moved on, that's what she knew...but she's not ready to tell him or them everything.“It's him, right?” She jump on her seat when he suddenly spoke. This is what she was saying.Instead of answering him, she looked out the window. They are also close to their mansion. She closed her eyes tightly, praying that they would come quickly. "Meira Hayaizel!" Damn! He was calling her name now. ‘Don't open your mouth, Meira. Don't you ever dare!’ she chastised herself. Their car entered the gate. They were only a few meters away from the mansion."Meira, what the hell?" He was annoyed that she didn't speak. 'Just be patient, self, you're close too.' They're so close. She's simply touched the door."Aren't you really..." He couldn't continue what he had to say when their car stoppedShe quickly got out of the car and went inside without look
LEARN to be done. Not mad, not bothered, just done. Protect yourself, at all costs. Phoebe is no longer angry because after five years of not having any news to him, she is done. When the twins came into her life she lost her anger towards Sawyer. How can she be angry with him if the twins look alike with him. Every time she gets mad, she feels that she is also angry with her twins. She's done with the pain she guess. She's moving on, she finished everything a long time ago. But that's what she thought, when she saw Sawyer earlier in the mall the pain of yesterday came back to her. Why do they still have to meet? Manila is so big, why did their paths meet? Is fate playing tricks on her? She didn't care about him anymore, that's what she knew. But why does she feel like this? Why is her heart beating so fast? This is not how she wanted to feel. She thought that when the two of them faced each other, it would be gone. That she's okay. That she was ready to stare at him with pure ignor
THE day of her party came. It will be held tonight at the Sandejas mansion. Everything is ready. Their stylist, make up artist and the rest. And since she's allergic to any cosmetics on her face, that's stylist only for her Tita's, Mommy and Shaella. "Are you ready? After how many years, they will recognize you too. Your true identity with be leaked, Meira. This is what the Sandejas have been waiting for.” Phoebe could see Shaella's face from the mirror, her smile reaching her ears. "Of course I'm ready. I have been preparing for this for several years." She smiled sadly as she glanced at the picture frame of her late parents. "It's like when we used to go down together to swim in the sea, like when we were studying together. I experienced joy and tears because of Sawyer. It's so fast Shaella, that sometimes I just think what if Mom didn't take me back then?" "If Tita hadn't taken you, you wouldn't have known your friends, you wouldn't have known us. You won't see Sawyer at the sea
PHOEBE could not avoid the nervousness when she saw that Sawyer was approaching her. He is very handsome wearing a tailored dark brown suite with a brown fitted shirt underneath and brown pants, his feet are expensive leather shoes. She blinked her eyes many time because it was the first time she saw Sawyer in formal attire in face to face. "W-What are you doing? Stay where you are!” But Sawyer didn't listen to her. She clenched her hands. "You really don't want to talk to me?" The pain and sadness in his voice made her shook her head. She couldn't believe him. What else does he need from her? She just wanted to be happy, why does he have to bother her? When will she be able to forget him forever? She walked towards the door but before she could get out her cellphone rang, it was on her bed. She didn't want to pay attention to it but she looked at Sawyer. She quickly picked up the cellphone and answered it, so that she could avoid him too. "Hello?" she started the conversation.
