18I was relieved to see outside the car window that we were right in front of the house. Finally, I was home. In this place, I pour it all out. Even though no one knows and no one sees whenever I cry, the important thing is that I become relieved because I cry all the pain.The car I was riding in had stopped. He didn't waste any more time blowing the horn because he had no intention of going inside. The only reason it is here is to deliver me.I took a deep breath before turning to the person who delivered me.It was Franco.I let him follow me earlier and out of time we were able to talk because of my avoidance of Caleb. To avoid Caleb then he was also in the forest, I had no choice but to give in to Franco. Because of that, I got away from that place.We passed a coffee shop near the University and there, I gave Franco time to say everything he wanted to say. I forced myself to listen to him even for a few minutes. I don’t want to close my mind to his explanations. That's what I'v
"Are you really sure that you will join the CEA ball and be Franco's partner?" Kez was non -stop tanning while I was busy shopping for dresses. I went through the dresses I had gathered on the wooden clothing rack. Kez and Reign are behind me and give their opinion on every dress I show them.We went home early because of the preparation for the College of Engineering and Architecture department ball tonight. The space in the quadrangle and the entire gym will be used, so all departments will anticipate the dismissal because it will be easier for CEA officers to prepare when there are no more students roaming around the University. The organizers hired by the college of Engineering and Architecture department to organize the CEA faculty and student officers are also coming earlier.“Yes, Bri. It's amazing that you agreed with Franco." Reign paused for a moment because someone seemed to think of it. "Don't tell me you're Franco again?" traces in his voice the shock of his own theory ab
I slowly opened my eyes when I felt numbness in my back and pain in my hand. Almost my whole body was in pain. I feel very tired and I still feel dizzy.I have no idea what is going on right now. Whose car am I now. This is not familiar to me. Even its smell is not fragrant, nauseating. Your driver is still not careful in driving so earlier I stumbled because of the excessive speed he was running.I was just quiet and felt the surroundings. This car is unfamiliar and we definitely don’t have it car or even Franco’s car. I'm just riding here now. I was in the passenger’s seat and I had no one next to me, I was alone. I was leaning back in the chair and I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t move my hands. It was only then that I realized that my hands were tied when I felt something tightly tied to me. Why? What did they do to me?I already felt scared and very nervous so I woke up from the incline. I made a noise so the man in the driver’s seat looked in the rear view mirror."You're aw
A white ceiling opened up to me when I opened my eyes. I couldn’t look at the whole surroundings because I could feel the weight of my head. I couldn’t even move it because of the extreme pain and weight. I just remained lying and staring at the ceiling. My head seemed to pull when I turned around and it would make me very dizzy. I can't explain the various pains I feel all over my body.I just remained staring at the white ceiling. I try to remember how I got to this place. I remember what happened last to me.Where am I now?What am I doing here?This is not my room because this is not the design of my room. My room does not have a white ceiling. Almost everything in my room is pink so it's impossible for me to be at home now."B-Bri?" Keziah's face looked up at me. Her eyes widened when our eyes met because she confirmed that I was awake and my consciousness had returned. "You're awake! Wait, I'll call the Doctor. Don’t worry because I’m just fast. I just need to let you know that
“Really? Isn not your rest house in Siargao? Kez almost screamed in ecstasy. “Omg! We all are going there, am I right?” She is still making sure of it.Franco nodded. "Yeah, we're going to our rest house in Siargao."My two friends screamed in excitement. They can't hide their happiness, me as well.October 28 is tomorrow and that is Franco's birthday. He’s turning 21 tomorrow! Friday is tomorrow and we decided to be absent to celebrate Franco's birthday for 2 nights at their rest house. It's not a hell week so there aren't many activities so it's okay to be absent for just one day. Also, Franco informed our instructors. They can't get away because they know Franco, he's just the son of the owner of this University. He can make everyone obey if he wants to.“Let's go home right away, Kez. I still need to fix my things and then I will buy a new bikini. I have to go there, maybe I can see my one there,” said Reign who was immediately agreed by Keziah.I'm glad that finally, my two frien
"Kez, get up there!" Reign almost threw all the pillows at our friend who was still lying in bed. She was still sound asleep and did not want to disturb any of us. She would even get angry when we made noise because she didn’t want to be disturbed.“Please stop, Reign! I'm still sleepy,” she whispered. She even pushed herself covered with a blanket.It was only six in the morning but Reign and I were awake. After all, Keziah had almost occupied the whole bed. We just need to sleep on the floor and Kez will make this queen size bed. She was very sleepy. You can tell she doesn't want anyone next to her to sleep with because she still lacks a queen size bed. It's embarrassing to stand next to Kez.There is nothing we can do if we don't get up and fall to the floor. We just let him take over the entire bed space. We just realized that that's how he really sleeps. We don't want to complain. We just sat on the couch and waited for Kez to wake up.We also heard Franco's friends talking outsi
“What is it, Reign? Do you already have contact with the guy you saw in Siargao?” Keziah asked as we walked towards the cafeteria. Lunch break is over and we will go straight there to eat. While walking, we couldn’t help but talk about what had happened the day before.Disgusted Reign chuckled. “Not yet! I still don’t know his name until now. How can I know his details if I haven't talked to him? My opportunity was lost! I wish I had just rubbed my face just to know what his name was. If only I weren't so shy!”The man they were referring to was the one we saw when we stopped at a souvenir shop before returning to Manila. To have a memento that we have been to that place, of course the souvenirs will not be lost. We all bought and also included in what we bought other things that could be counterproductive.It was in that shop that Reign also saw the man. In our prediction, he was one of the staff at that shop because he was one of those who assisted us. He was the one we talked to wh
“Are you sure you’re coming in now?” I was fixing my hair in front of the mirror when Keziah asked. Reign was next to it and they were also busy arranging the uniform they were wearing. She just closes the button of her blouse.Here they slept last night just to accompany me. After Franco took me home, the two of them arrived. They already bought some clothes that they will use and even the bag and other things they need for school they also brought because we went straight to University when we woke up in the morning. It's not new for my friends to sleep here. Any day or time they come here to sleep. But now I expected that because they wouldn’t let me cry alone.I am very thankful because Dad came home late last night so he didn't know what was happening to me. I also breathed a sigh of relief to learn that Dad also left early today because most likely, he would notice me if we happened to have breakfast together. I still find it hard to lie to Dad. I’m just quick to feel guilty so
I felt my head ache when I opened my eyes. The weight of my head and I was really dizzy. I also can not explain why I am nauseous.I even frowned because the sunlight from the glass window on the side of my bed hit my eyes. I could do nothing but wake up."Oh no!" I rubbed my forehead as I realized what time it was. I did not set my alarm so I forgot I had to wake up early.I looked at my wall clock, reason to scold me again. I am late for work! Dad was probably looking for me in my office. He would scold me when he found out I got drunk last night and I woke up late. There's a high chance he won't let me go to Rocca Bar next time.Even if I wanted to get up, I could not because the headache I am feeling right now is holding me back, it’s probably a hangover. I remember what happened last night. I was drinking too much. I could not control myself. I lost my sanity last night. I made a mess!What I don't remember is how did I get home last night?Was I able to drive drunk? Impossible!
"Bri, I am really sorry," Kez opened on the other line. “You know I can not leave this pile of paperwork. I will even work overtime later just to finish it. I am really chasing the deadline for submission of my paper works. This week is so stressful for me!” she added.It was five o'clock in the afternoon and I was planning to go home but I chose to hang out in the office for a while to call my two friends. I still have a few people with me because some of them are working overtime.I invite Reign and Kez to come to Rocca tonight.I called Kez first but it seemed vague that she would go because she said she had piles of paperwork that she needed to finish. The other day she told me she was busy this week. She always complains but she still does. I understand her because I know how hard it is to pile up paper works because that's how I work now. Especially when the deadline is near, rushing is really what you do. You have no choice but to do that.We have also graduated for almost two
Six months ago I tried to let Caleb know about Trisha’s lying but I just failed. He didn't even waste time listening to me. He did not let me explain. Even though it was my last chance to talk to him, I hope he still gave in to me. If that's what he wants, I'll let him. I will not disturb them anymore. I can only tell all of Trisha’s lies, I don’t care what her decision may be. I will no longer question him whether he will still stay with Trisha or he will just leave it. Even if he doesn't come back to me. What matters is that he knows the truth.But I was not able to explain everything to him because he deprived me of the opportunity."Bri, let's go."I looked up at Keziah when she asked me to leave the classroom because we had been dismissed. I didn't feel like getting up and then took my bag. I followed her outside.We walked out of the classroom together.We didn’t go straight to the parking lot right away. Kez and I waited for a while for Reign in the forest. We went home earlier
“I need those fake medical documents as soon as possible, how many times can I tell you that? That’s what I had to show Caleb to get the two of us married early because I couldn’t wait any longer. I need to hurry up with our wedding before Caleb thinks twice and goes back to Brittany. So please, make a way right away because I'm paying you a lot. Caleb must believe that I am seriously ill so you can fix what you put there in the documents or if it is better, you can say that my life is fixed so that there is a reason for us to get married right away.”Out of panic, I accidentally grabbed myself by the door causing it to create noise. I feel very nervous right now. What if she finds out she’s not alone in the bathroom? What if she found out that I had overheard them talking to the person she was talking to on her cell phone.Trisha stopped speaking. She heard me slam the door. She wondered if anyone was here. "Who is that?" There was a hint of nervousness in her voice. But I feel twice
