Flashback…
“Mom, I want my dress as simple and elegant as yours. And I rather not wear any jewelries that Aunt Maria suggested, I can already envision myself struggling, by just the sight of it,” I told my mom as I scrub my skin gently with my body soaked down by the tub that contains fresh milk and few petals of roses. In normal days, my body’s contented with a normal bath, but that won’t work today with my mom.
I could hear Mom saying something but I cannot fathom it clearly. “What?” I ask.
“I said finish your bath now! Your father’s asking if we’re already dressed and ready to go!” Mom shouted. I am hearing her foot going back and forth inside my room, probably getting ready all the stuff that I’ll be wearing and use.
“Coming, Mom!” I shouted back as I hauled my body up from being soaked.
I turned on the shower and stand in front to make the runn

Hugo’s POVI am feeling extra happy today, and rightfully so. Just yesterday, I was hanging out with Eliana’s squad. They let me sit with them during lunch, which I think they did in order to erase the dark cloud that have been hovering above us ever since that one task that required us to do it by pair. That was quite a scene, with that Lucas guy being painfully obvious that he does not like me getting too friendly with Eliana, while the latter is being oblivious to that fact. But anyway, let bygones be bygones, we sat at one table during lunch and the Deere heiress actually talked to me. I would ask her questions, she would respond, then throw a question back to me at times. I felt Lucas’ heavy stares, but whatever. It is not like he is the one that I would pursue.After lunch, as we were walking to our next class, I asked Eli if she would want to hang out after school. I nonchalantly told her that there was this store I

Eliana’s POVI bury my face on my soft pillow and let out a shriek as soon as I got myself lay into my bed. I cannot believe I just did that. Where did my shame go earlier? I cannot believe I have just brazenly borrowed Hugo’s cell so I could type my number on it, saved with my friends’ nickname on me. Why did the ground let me stand still, when they could have just devoured me in front of Hugo? I could have just said that I enjoyed hanging around with him and do the things I like the most, and leave. But no, my hand’s being itchy and the words “Can I borrow you phone for a second” begged me to death to finally breakthrough. I heaved a long sigh, a signal to slowly recover myself from what was happened. I sat on my bed and feel myself. Although a little part of me was panicking a little from what just happened, something inside me was unburdened, and that couldn’t be denied. Maybe it was

Eliana’s POV “Go, and try it, Hugo. It’s not bad as you think,” I say while handing him the ice cream sandwich that we’ve bought earlier. We walked earlier to buy something to eat while we sit in front of the lake. We just realized that there’s something missing right after my stomach betrayed me by eliciting a grumbling sound. For the second time, why didn’t the ground devour me? But then, he let out a delicious chuckle and said, “We better do something about it, El,” and then we headed and stumbled upon this ice cream parlor nearby, where we bought a different flavor and some ice cream sandwiches he’s refusing to eat. He wince a little. “Isn’t weird? And… it does not looked as enticing to my view as yours. It looks weird, so it’s probably tastes weird,” he said. Shuffling a little while he walk. “I mean, no offense, I respect your taste, but…,” I tilt my head at him and take a bite of my ice cream sandwich. Ugh, this is really heaven.

Hugo’s POVWeeks passed and our bond continued to grow. I wake up every day extra early so I could come to class earlier than her. Every single day, without missing a beat, I make sure that I would arrive first, waiting behind her chair. We have been to a couple of coffee shops, too, not because she loves coffee itself but because of the ambience. Every place I know where a good scenery exists, I make sure to tell her and ask her to come. Because she loves taking photos of them, and it brings her peace, too. I never failed to text her after each hang out, to let her know that I want to make sure she arrived at her room safe, even though I always drop her off at the foot of her dormitory building. Every step I take towards her, I do it carefully. I am always smiling. I always make sure that she is comfortable. I never once did anything that I know would make her feel turned off or simply turn away. That is why I do not know why she is now avoiding me. Altho

Eliana’s POVOn Sundays, I would usually be with Kat and Lucas. We could be outside café hopping if there is not much school works to do, or simply relaxing at Lucas’ place. I cannot remember how it started, but weekends usually are time for the three of us. Well, except when there is an emergency or there is a group work that one of us needed to attend to. I have given Hugo some of my weekends already, before I realized that he is getting too close. I have missed some of the hangouts with the other two for the past weeks, leaving them to bond by themselves. But now, I am officially back to being with them in every hangout. Being with Hugo was too fun, until it was too scary. Because another person entering my circle means that there would be another soul that I would be keeping my identity from. I cannot let that happen. Two is already too much to handle for me.Today, a Sunday, the three of us decided that it would be fu

Hugo’s POVSaying that I am frustrated is an understatement. First, she dropped down my invitation, saying that she is busy and already had her plan concrete, but how could she not extend the same courtesy to her friends when I heard Katelyn asked her to be with her in some places I do not care about. Second was when I went to her dorm to propose my invitation to come with me, again. But was actually halted when I heard Eliana’s voice, talking to someone on her phone, for which my instinct told me that’s her best friend, Katelyn. She emerged in the front door, well-dressed, while I am trying my best to peek at her behind the huge tree that was erected nearby. I secretly watch her back, walking her legs towards Lucas. That’s when I am now certain, she and that Lucas guy is now, ugh, dating. What the hell, right? After I spend my precious time bringing her to the places I knew she would love to go to, uninterestedly comb the internet for ef

It has been half an hour since Hugo and I arrived at the clinic. I hurt myself in the process of walking hurriedly so I would not have to walk for too long with him, but ended up riding on his back because of my own doings. How stupid of me. We missed the organization’s meeting, too. Faith already knew what happened and excused us for the day. Yeah, us. Because Hugo is still not leaving my side until now. I have already told him the moment that we got here that he must go, that I could take things from here and handle myself. But this one is really hard-headed.The nurse have already given my ankle the treatment that it needs. She said that it is not something that bad, that I must be just shocked from the impact. She put an ice pack on it and left me here in a bed to rest, saying I could stay until someone fetches me.Hugo is holding his phone at the moment, not using it, while letting his eyes travel around the room. He seemed to be

Eliana’s POV“There, tighten your grip on my arms, Eli, just a few steps and we’ll get there,” Lucas said as he accompany me from taking a step. I can feel the beads of sweat forming in my forehead as we take every step to get into my doorstep. I didn’t think that I will actually experience getting my ankle sprained before, not from any activities, but from trying to escape from someone. I am literally ashamed when even after all the ignoring and avoiding phase, still, he didn’t hesitate to get me and carry me on his back and take me to our university’s clinic.“I am okay here, Lu. I think I can manage walking by myself this time. Thanks for the ride and please, have a safe drive!” I told Lucas. I pull back my hand from holding him to fish the keys of my dorm out of my bag. When suddenly, I felt Lucas not moving from his spot, having no intention to leave--as I expected of course. I cease

Third Person’s POV “It is so stuffy in here, Eli. I am still wondering how you managed to live in this kind of environment for four years,” said Ross Deere a.k.a. Boss R, the leader of the powerful Deere pack, and the father of Eliana Deere who is the one and only heiress to the throne. “Dad, can you stop complaining for a second? You blabbering about your complaints like that would not make the situation in favor of you, yeah?” Eli responded, trying to sound annoyed but failing to do so. Today is their graduation day. Finally. After four long years of studying, working so hard in every exams and recitations, even cramming for the major tests, things had finally paid back. They had already came to this moment. They could finally get ahold of their long-desired diploma, face the real world, and apply the knowledge that they had learned in the workplace. Now, this is true for most students, or should we say graduates
Clash of Hearts Chapter 30
Hugo’s POV“Don’t you think it’s time for you and your brother to have a clean slate? I mean… I am not trying to omit the fact that he caused pain to you that made you do some unexplainable things; that made him worse, but… I just think even after all the chaos and all the fights either of you had put up, that did not imply that you guys do not deserve a peace of mind. You deserve it, Hugo. Even the most vile and obnoxious individual deserved to have it,” Eliana, in the middle of nowhere said.I actually think of that thought lately, it messed with my head the past few days. I thought if I had the mess between Eliana and I cleaned, my mind will function smoothly right away. It’s not like I am not contented with what happened to Eliana and I, because dude, do not ever get me started because if I have time, I could have all the things that Eliana brought to my existence listed. More like, the t
Clash of Hearts Chapter 29
Eliana’s POV Remembering the events from last night had me smiling like an idiot. For months, I had missed the feeling of being this contented, at peace, and just happy. So many things had happened in the past few months of my life. Thinking about it now, I do not know how I even survived it and stay well until now. It felt I was sleepwalking. Yeah, that is the right way to describe it. It felt like I was fully not in control of everything that have been happening to me. It was very awful, all of it, and I do not ever want to go back there ever again. It is all in the past now. I had learned from it, but I would not keep on living in it. That is why when Hugo and I got to talk yesterday, I listened. It was his chance to explain his side to me, and I let him have that. When he elaborated all of his reasons behind his actions, I really listened. That was what I failed to do in the course of three months that I avoided him and stopped talki
Clash of Hearts Chapter 28
Hugo’s POVBefore I have fallen in love with Eliana, the only thing I really want was to sit on the throne and rule our pack, and by the means of that, I have to cross all the line and do what I have to—so I could grasp the power in my hand, so I could beat my brother down; so I could make my father proud. But all that reasons seemed not able to make my heart ponder anymore, because as cheesy it may sound, it was only the thought of her that could make my mind be capable to be sane and my heart to beat. So the first thing my eyes landed into her—right in front of me, only had a few inches to make our arms touched, with almost three months I hadn’t be able to go near her—it was as if my tongue was being cut, I was unable to speak; and was only given an eyes to look through her, only to her.But my mind went back to reality. There are so many things I should clean up first, I know, and I should start doing that. I
Clash of Hearts Chapter 27
Eliana’s POVIt had been two months, going three, since the talk happened. The talk being the one where I confessed to Kat what I truly am, like my real identity, me being a vampire and not a human like them. The talk obviously did not go well. Kat was mad, really mad, to the point that I did not even get the chance to elaborate myself and my situation. That day with Kat walking out of my dorm room, Lucas following him because I told him to, and me being left all alone there. Alone to cry and crumble, feeling like the whole world is against me, suffering the consequences because of my own doing.What was worse was that Kat started ignoring me after that, too. She would avoid me in every way possible. The routes to school, to the places where I eat, and she even stopped sitting with me in the classrooms. Lucas would always invite us two at his place, or anywhere, just to get us all together. But Katelyn would always, always reject. She

Eliana’s POV“I will see you tomorrow with Katelyn, okay? Please do know that whatever will happen, I am always here, ready to be confided in, alright? And please… please use this whole night to have a rest. I know in your kind… sleep isn’t really necessary but please… please do rest, okay?” Lucas said, ruffling my hair that temporarily assuaged what I have been feeling since I turned my back on Hugo. He’s really too good that made me realize how cruel the world he’d been living in, how worst the person he’s been ruffling the hair with.I nodded my head at him and smiled, hoping the exhaustion would somehow go off of my face. I really want to express my gratitude to him, but even smiling is preventing me to do so. I am afraid if I would move my limbs something will snap within me. I am just beyond exhausted and just wanted to be engulfed by solitude, in a claustrophobic room wher
Clash of Hearts Chapter 25
Lucas’ POVAn hour. It had been exactly an hour since Eliana and Hugo departed. Kat went straight home, claiming that she still have something important to do. As for me, I went directly to Eli’s place. We had decided that I would just wait for her here, although I insisted that I should come with her. For safety purposes, obviously. But she reasoned out that Hugo and her are both vampires and if I would go with her, I am going to be the one who would need protection.She called me last night, saying that she wanted to confront Hugo as soon as possible. She decided that she would just do it casually, reasoning that there would be no use holding back. She knows the truth now and wants to know everything behind the truth as well.I, too, Eliana, want to know everything. I smiled bitterly. Love really has its way of clouding up your rationality, yeah? In all the years of my life, I had never once thought that I
Clash of Hearts Chapter 24
Hugo’s POVI already tried browsing the internet, hoping to stumble with an answer in the homework that our professor assigned to our class but my head hurts from all the terms that was being used to the explanation I have seen related to our homework; the reason why I didn’t get to answer it, for the explanation was vague to me and my mind cannot seem to recognize nor digest any of it. I am already certain that being a student, in the human world, is such a tiresome. Though I should not worry if I flunk or pass, a tiny bit of something is kind of pushing me to strive to study, that’s why I sent a message to Eliana for help.My phone beeped, indicating that I received a message. I open and close my eyes to set aside the tiredness I am feeling. I clicked the link that Eliana included in the text she have sent me for an enlightenment. Had I known that the thing called ‘Youtube’ exists, maybe I wouldn’t stay
Clash of Hearts Chapter 23
Eliana’s POV“I do not like how you are getting too close with that guy, to be completely honest with you,” Lucas said.We are now in his room, with me sitting on his bed while he sat on the floor, his back leaned against the foot of his bed. After our last class, we mutually decided that we needed to talk, and that we should just talk here because it is private. I have just asked him what the matter is when he gave me that response.“Hugo have been with us for a while now. You still calling him ‘that guy’ is just rude, Lucas. Like, what really is your problem? I got it the first time, you were skeptical of his existence because he was new. But now that he have been around long enough already, you are still acting like that. I do not get it, Lucas. He is even nice to you even when all you ever do is breathe down his neck whenever he is in your presence. I am not asking you to be friend
