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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
