~ALFRED~

I was greeted by the unfamiliar face of a middle aged man and a blonde lady who I assumed to be his daughter.

“Alfred, join us.” Dad said as he gestured for me to sit next to him.

“I'd like you to meet Mr. Byron Flynn, and his daughter Natasha Flynn. Mr. Flynn is the President of The Drew Special Care center and also a very good friend of mine.” Dad explained and I walked up to Mr. Flynn and offered my hand to him.

“It's nice to meet you, Mr. Flynn.” I said with a slight smile and he nodded as we shook hands.

My gaze met with his daughter and I found her a bit familiar but quickly looked away and made my way to the chair next to dad.

“We finally meet again, Alfred.” She said with a smile and I furrowed my brows a bit. I did find her familiar but I had no idea where I had met her before.

“You two know each other?” Mr. Flynn asked and she bobbed her head.

“Alfred and I met during the JFK business orientation.” She responded and it finally hit me.

“Oh you both met on the

    ~SANDY~I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces as I watched Alfred leave my room. The look in his eyes told me he was hurt. I had hurt him, and in doing so I had hurt myself as well.I wiped off the tears that had blurred my vision as I made my way to the bed and tucked myself in. I just wanted to sleep and forget this dreadful feeling but the pain in my chest couldn't even let me close my eyes.I kept telling myself I had done the right thing, and he would eventually get over it but then the thought of him actually being with another lady made me feel sick to my stomach.“It was for the best. I'll feel better when I wake up.” I said to myself and forced my eyes shut, pushing all thoughts of Alfred at the back of my mind. By the time I opened my eyes again, it was already morning.I took a quick shower and changed into a baggy white pants, with a black long sleeve t-shirt to match. I tied my hair up into a high ponytail, then grabbed my bag and walked out of my room. I bumped

    ~SANDY~ “Sandy are you listening?” Hailey's voice snapped me out of my trance and I turned to her with an apologetic gaze. “Sorry, what did you say?” I asked and she rolled her eyes. “Come on, spill. What's wrong?” “Nothing's wrong. I shouldn't even care, I mean I'm the one who pushed him away so I should not care whether or not he hangs with his new girlfriend or fiance or whatever!” I blurted all at once, breathing heavily and Hailey stared at me in shock. “Okay, back up a little. What on earth or who on earth are you talking about?” She asked as she led me to the school's garden and we sat on the bench. I took in a deep breath before responding. “Alfred got engaged and —” “Wait what?!” Hailey exclaimed, cutting me off. “It's kind of a long story.” “That you need to tell me now! How did this happen?” She asked and I narrated everything to her. “That jerk! How could he get over you so fast after a love confession?!” Hailey snapped and I sighed. “I guess I should have just

    ~SANDY~It was barely up to five seconds after Gabriel kissed me when he got yanked away and Alfred threw a heavy punch at his face.“Alfred!” I gasped as I stared at Gabriel's bleeding nose.I had no idea he would react that way, and I never meant for Gabriel to get hurt.“What the fuck do you think you're doing?!” He thundered as Gabriel rose from the ground and wiped his bloody nose.“The real question is what are you doing? What did I do to deserve such a heavy punch?” Gabriel asked with a smirk and I could already image the smokes coming out of Alfred's ears as he shot Gabriel a death glare.“Baby, you didn't have to hit him. It's obvious him and Sandy has something going on.” Natasha said with a pitiful gaze and I glared at her.If eyes could shoot lasers, she'd be six feet under the ground by now.“Are you alright?” I asked Gabriel worriedly and he bobbed his head as he pulled me close and wrapped his hand around my waist.“What? Am I not allowed to kiss my girlfriend?” Gabriel

    ~SANDY~“Can I look now?” I asked desperately as I have been covering my eyes for almost ten minutes now as Alfred led me to Ousen knows where in his so called attempt to surprise me.“You can look now.” He said and I immediately removed the blindfolds, fluttering my eyes open.I gasped as the beautiful scenery came to view. I could see the golden rays of the setting sun dancing across the surface of the lake. Alfred took my hand, leading me to a small picnic set that was nestled beside the water's edge.“Alfred,” I called out softly, lost for words.“I wanted to surprise you." He said, his smile warming my heart.I looked out over the picturesque landscape, admiring the serenity of the water, the beauty of the flowers, and the way the sun cast its golden light over everything.“But I thought this place was restricted since the accident two years ago?” I asked in a slightly worried tone.This lake was located behind the school and students often came here in the past to party or just

    ~ALFRED~ I wanted to go after her, to pull her back into my arms where she belongs, but my legs suddenly became immobile. Her words struck me hard and the pain in my chest was excruciating. I have never felt this way before, this broken. I couldn't understand why she was pushing me away when it was obvious she was in love with me. I could tell it was difficult for her to do this, I could see the hesitation and regret in her eyes but she tried to cover it up. As I stared at her retreating figure, all I could think about was the question, why? Where did I go wrong? Was it the picnic? Did I go overboard with it? Or should I have waited until her birthday to actually surprise her? Did I unknowingly pressure her into being with me that she had no other choice than to reject me? What exactly did I do and how can I fix it? I scoffed at the question. Fix it? There's obviously nothing to fix anymore. I could try to make up a million excuses as to why she did what she did, but it all l

    ~SANDY~15th of June, that's when I celebrate by birthday every year. Back when my dad was still alive, he would take me to a karaoke kids club and I would sing my heart out for hours. I didn't have the best singing voice, but I loved to sing. I told Alfred about this when we were kids, and he made sure to keep the tradition alive. He wanted me to always be happy on my birthdays, and out of everyone, he always gave me the best gifts.Likewise this year, he has once more given me a gift no one else could, a broken heart. He was going to have his engagement party on my birthday, and he didn't plan on attending my own birthday party that had been scheduled for the weekend since 15th fell on a school day. I guess he really hated me now. I had hurt him so much already, and he was trying to repay the favor, so I shouldn't feel bad, since this was the result of my own actions.“That jerk! How could he do that?!” Hailey snapped. She was so pissed when I told her about it that she came all t

    ~NATASHA~ I had just finished putting on my makeup, ready to head out when dad walked into my room. “Going out?" He asked and I bobbed my head. “I'm meeting with Stacy at the mall today." I beamed and he smiled softly. “That's good then, you can get a dress for your engagement party at once." Dad said, and I stared at him in a perplexed manner. “Engagement party? But we've not even decided on a date yet. Alfred didn't seem too happy during the meeting, and I noticed that he's been avoiding me at school as well." I responded with a sigh and dad chuckled softly. “Your party is on the 15th. Alfred himself chose the date." I widened my eyes in shock on hearing that, and a smile plastered on my face. “Oh my goodness! Why are you just telling me now?!" I exclaimed as I frantically grabbed my bag and ran out of my room. The party was in three days! I needed to make arrangements with my hair stylist and makeup artist and book an appointment at the Spa and gosh there was a lot to do! “C

    ~SANDY~ I forced myself out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom to freshen up. I had an early lecture that morning and so I quickly got dressed and made my way to the kitchen. “Good morning, sweetheart. Do you feel better now?” Mrs. Mirabella asked with a smile as she handed me a glass of milk and toasted bread. “I do. Thank you.” I responded, taking the glass and toasted bread from her. “Good morning, Mrs. Mirabella.” I almost choked on my milk when I heard Natasha's voice and I turned around to see her standing right next to me and wearing... Was that Kiara's pajamas? “Morning sweetheart. Help yourself out.” Mrs. Mirabella responded as she passed a glass of milk to Natasha who declined politely. “Oh no thank you. I'm lactose intolerant.” She responded and our gaze locked in that moment. I smiled slightly but she simply stared at me blankly and then looked away. Was she mad at me? Probably because of what she saw last night. “I didn't know you slept over.” I said, t

    ~SANDY~I felt my palms getting wet as I was called out onto the podium to give my speech.I had imagined this day since the first day I got into Ousen University, and now it was finally here but now, I felt really anxious. What if I said the wrong things, what if I slipped while climbing onto the podium and fell?Why were my thoughts suddenly so wicked?I should be confident in myself. I came this far, I survived all the hardship, all the challenges and the best part of it all, was that among the audience, my family and everyone I loved was present.Uncle Roman, my grandparents Lionel and Lucia, my granddaughter Martha, my adoptive parents Easton and Mirabella, my sister Kiara, my best friends Hailey and Gabriel, my new friends Natasha and Danzel, my Aunt Paulina and her children, and lastly, the love of my life, Alfred Grey.They were all present, and cheering me on.

    ~DANZEL~I groaned as I heard the loud banging on the door to my room. “Danzel, don't you have a morning shift or something today? Why are you still in bed?” I heard Jeffery's voice yapping nonstop and I finally pulled myself out of the bed.I just wanted to sleep in today. I didn't feel like going anywhere but the problem is I haven't felt like going out ever since Hailey left here that night.I felt so stupid for hurting her. She didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve someone like me, she deserved better.She had genuinely made herself vulnerable by telling me how she felt and I coldly shattered her heart. I let her down real hard and it has haunted me every night and day.“Dude what the hell? Are you sick or something? You haven't left the house for a week now.” Jeffery asked worriedly as I finally let him into my room.“I'm fine, I just need a little rest.” I responded but he didn't seem convinced.“You said that yesterday and every other day before. What's going on with you?”I s

    ~HAILEY~“You got everything?” Mom asked as I zipped up my box, ready to leave.“Yes, I think.” I responded, my gaze scrutinizing the room to be certain I wasn't forgetting anything.When I was certain I had it all, I pulled my luggage downstairs. Sandy and Kiara were both waiting for me.Kiara was celebrating her nineteenth birthday this weekend and I decided to spend the week with them since we were on a school break as well.“Don't worry, Mrs. Jordan, we will take good care of her.” Sandy reassured my mom and I chuckled softly.“I trust you will. Have fun sweetheart.” Mom said as I hugged her goodbye.“I'll call you the moment we arrive.” I said and she nodded in response, giving us the green light to leave.The ride back to New York was a rather quiet one, until Kiara broke the silence.“So no one is going to say anything? Come on, tell me how it went!” Kiara beamed and I pressed my lips into a thin line.I wish I had never confessed to Danzel but at the same time, I had no regret

    ~HAILEY~ I opened the door, letting Sandy and Kiara in. They wanted to meet my mom before they headed back. Funny how five minutes after refusing to come with them, I had changed my mind and agreed to it.I wanted to spend more time with Sandy and school break was around the corner, so maybe I could leave then, and come back on resumption.“This is my first time being in your house in Pennsylvania. We mostly met up at your apartment next to school or you would come see me.” Sandy pointed out and I slowly bobbed my head.She's been talking nonstop about things we used to do and things we never did. I could see that she was making a lot of efforts to get me to remember, but even my mom couldn't make that happen.I guess I was the one slowly blocking my memories or something. I thought I would miraculously remember once I met Sandy, but even Sandy seemed strange to me at some point, while another, she was familiar.“My mom should be home shortly. Do you need anything while you wait?” I

    ~HAILEY~ Sandy's eyes teared up the moment I called out her name and she immediately rushed towards me, engulfing me in a tight hug. “Hailey! My God it's you!” She cried out and I found myself crying as well. I could feel her love for me radiating through her every being. Just like my mom, I didn't have to remember her to know that she was truly an important part of my life. She was my best friend, and I'm certain she was also like a sister to me. “I have missed you so much!” She pulled out of the hug, her gaze scrutinizing me from top to bottom. I suddenly felt a light smack on my shoulder and turned to the side to see the blue eyed lady glaring daggers at me. “How could you?! How could you ghost us like that?! How could you abandon Sandy like that?! Did your friendship mean so little to you?! Did we mean so little to you?!” She kept on ranting and I felt a bit overwhelmed with confusion. “You vanished without a warning. Did you know how worried we all were?” She asked but I

    ~HAILEY~ What the hell was I thinking?! What in the world made me think I could juggle working and studying at the same time?! I swear I would faint if I got there one more time. I barely had time to do anything, and to think I've only been there for a week! “Hailey, come help me off load the new stocks.” Charity, my work colleague called out and I let out a heavy sigh. I couldn't remember the last time I had a goodnight's rest. My weekdays were taken by school and my weekends were taken by work! Even Sundays weren't any exception. “You can quit now before it's too late.” Danzel's words to me on my second day echoed in my mind. I hated that he was so certain I couldn't handle the work. I wanted to prove him wrong, but at this moment, I think I wouldn't mind raising my white flag. “Have you been sleeping well? You have visible eyebags.” Charity pointed out and I let out a frustrated groan as we restocked the shelves with the new products. Today was Saturday, and since I didn't

    ~HAILEY~ The moment my name left his lips, I felt my pent up anger melting away instantly. I mean who cares if he ghosted me, that smile was more than enough to make me forget it all. “Danny!” My happiness was short lived the moment a blonde haired lady ran up to him and engulfed him in a tight hug. “We missed you at the party. I'm hosting another this weekend though. Do you think you can make it?” She asked but all the while, Danzel's gaze was fixated on me, and I found myself not being able to look away. At first I wanted to murder the blondy with my gaze but seeing how Danzel didn't even reciprocate her hug, it reassured me that she wasn't his girlfriend. “I didn't know you attended Bucknell. What a coincidence.” Danzel said to me, his expression blank but his gaze still held mine. I eventually gave up and looked away. Something about the way he stared at me always made me feel weak in the knees. “I didn't know you were an engineering student as well. I guess you're multi ta

    ~HAILEY~ “There you go. All done.” The nurse at the clinic said as she finished wrapping the bandage under my feet. “How long will I stay like this?” I frowned as I stared at my legs. Just when I was finally getting back on my feet, now I will be forced to go back to wheelchair until it's all healed up. “I would say about two weeks. Thankfully the cut wasn't so deep so it shouldn't take too long to heal up.” The nurse responded with a smile and I let out a sigh. “What were you thinking, Hailey? Why would you step on broken glass pieces like that?” Mom scolded. I lowered my gaze. I had no idea what happened. The only thing on my mind was the memory flash I had. Why was I on that bus? Why did only I survive out of everyone on that bus? While I was being wheeled to the clinic, I had done a little digging from the phone on the accident. That's how I found out about everything. Everyone else in that bus had died. “Hailey, are you listening?” Mom's voice pulled me out of my though
