Aiden's Point of ViewIt's my time to leave.I stood up after hearing the number of my plane. I took a deep breath before facing my back. I just smiled bitterly when I saw the unfamiliar faces.What do I expect? Did I think Wyatt would chase me down and stop me from leaving? I'm only fooling myself.I took another deep breath before starting to walk. Every step I take, I remember the happy days I had with him, as well as the pain caused by Agleen's return.I told myself that I would be happy as long as Wyatt was happy with the person he loved. But why is that? I can’t feel any happiness for them. I can't really be happy until I'm the source of his happiness. Am I being selfish? Yes, maybe.I hope that when I get on the plane, I can leave all my memories with him. I hope that when I leave, I can also leave all the pain that I carry in my chest. And hopefully, with the flight of the plane, my feelings for him will disappear.I won't see him again after the plane leaves, so I'm sure I'll
Wyatt's Point of ViewIs this the karma they were referring to?My shoulders slumped as I stood in front of Aiden's unit door. I have been knocking repeatedly, but no one opens the door. I have been calling his name over and over, but no one is answering."Aiden? Please, talk to me! Open this door, please? Aiden!" I said while I kept on banging on the door with my fist."Hey, quiet down! The walls here are not soundproof!"I turned to the speaker. There is a trace of annoyance on his face as well as in his voice. I just apologized for the noise I made."Mr., do you need something?"I turned to the speaker. A woman noticed me. It looks like she's from the mall based on the plastic bags she's carrying."Uh... I... Do you happen to see the man who's living here?" I asked. At first, I was hesitant because she might not know Aiden, but in the end, I still asked because there was nothing to lose if I tried."Hmm..." She looked up as if thinking, "As far as I remember, no one stayed there fo
Wyatt's Point of View"Is that all that you want to talk about?" I looked at him."No," he said, shaking his head. "That's not what I wanted to tell you. What I really wanted to talk to you about was the photo that got leaked. I found out who's behind it."I frowned and asked, "Who?""It was from..."BANG!The door opened loudly, so I couldn't hear what Hans said next—the name of the person who spread the image of me and Aiden."Damn! It's tiring to go upstairs!" Jacob complained while wiping his sweat.Yuan opened the mineral bottle he was holding, handed it to Jacob, and said, "Oh, drink first; you're always complaining."After Jacob got the water, Yuan sat down next to Hans. While Jacob remained standing and drank the water that Yuan gave him."What were you talking about before we came?" Jacob asked. "It looks like your topic was deep. Can we join in?" He added more. After he finished drinking, he sat next to Yuan.The three of them were next to each other while I was in front of
Wyatt's Point of ViewI scoffed; I couldn't believe what she said. "You think that reason is valid? You're selfish, Agleen!""Alright, let's say I'm selfish because of what I did," she uttered before looking straight into my eyes. "You? Did you really love him? Aren't you selfish too? You chose to hurt him to save yourself from the shame that you yourself started."I fucking know that! So, why? Why does she have to mention that and tell me face-to-face that I did something wrong? Fuck it!"That wouldn't happen if it's not because of you." I gritted my teeth. "All of the conflicts that were happening to me were all because of you! If you haven't come back... You shouldn't have come back, Agleen!"Her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter any words. She stayed there with her mouth shut while her tears continued to come out. And I also stayed there, clenching my fist while looking at her. I don't feel any pity. All I could feel was the anger in my chest."Wyatt!"I heard Jacob scream my
Aiden's Point of View"So, how was your stay there?" He asked before sipping his coffee.I'm with Regie, and we're in a café. I asked him if he wanted to chill for a while before looking for a hotel where I could stay for a few weeks."It's fine," I answered while smiling."I waited. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bored waiting for you," he said, then laughed softly. "I really wanted to go there, if only Cynthia hadn't really stopped me."Cynthia, his cousin. Even though I stayed in California for a long time, I still haven't forgotten the names of the people who were a part of my life when I was here. There are also days when I want to see them again and bond.How are Regie's cousins? I want to see them, especially Criza; I want to see the change in her. She must have been a perfect young woman.I chuckled, "I should thank Cynthia for that then.""What about you? Didn't you miss me?" He asked after sipping his coffee."Of course, I do," I smiled. "You were the only one I used to tal
Wyatt's Point of ViewIt should be me. I should be the one to address him as "babe." Damn, I'm so mad. I feel like I'm going to explode with annoyance. They disappeared from my sight a while ago, but my annoyance is still here. I still can't move from where I'm standing. Even if there are people who bump into me, I don't care; they're even angry because they say I'm blocking the way even though I'm on the side. It's the fault of the man who suddenly appeared and took Aiden away from me. Aish, fuck! Then I was also annoyed by Aiden's answer to the man: that he didn't know me. For fuck's sake, I was his boyfriend! Damn. I just want to explode.In the middle of ranting in my brain, I suddenly felt a heavy hand hit my neck."Hey! What are you doing here? We've been waiting for you at the shop for a while," said Marcus."Has anyone here hypnotized you?" Ryan asked with a laugh.I just clicked my tongue and didn't answer them. I walked out and left them there.I will not go camping with the
Aiden's Point of ViewI was supposed to buy my needs with Regie, but Regie said that he couldn't make it. That's why I shopped alone, and then I met Wyatt and this kid at the mall. In the end, I didn't even buy the things I needed because I had to leave to avoid Wyatt and to talk to my brother.I only bought stuffed toys. As soon as I passed by that store, I immediately entered when I saw a teddy bear that looked like Wyatt. It's not like he looks like him; it's just that, when I saw that teddy bear, Wyatt immediately came to mind. And who would have thought that I would meet Wyatt right after I bought that stuffed toy? Damn. I still can't forget how manly he looked earlier.He looked shocked when I turned to him after he grabbed my arm. Does he not know that I came back? Well, Regie probably didn't tell him. It's great, and I also told Regie that he shouldn't inform Wyatt about my comeback, but why am I feeling disappointed? Gosh.KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!"Aiden, I'm hungry! Can you plea
Aiden's Point of ViewWhat was that? Appearing in front of me so suddenly. Fuck. I can't calm my heart down. I can feel my cheeks burning while I'm walking to the parking lot.I stopped walking for a moment to slap my cheeks and take a deep breath. Damn, please calm down, my heart. He's not even in front of me anymore. Goodness, how did I act earlier? I'm not obvious, right? Aish!He was clearly lying, so why did I agree to come and even give him my phone number? Argh! Stupid feelings, doing whatever it wants to satisfy itself. I want to go home already and lock myself in the bedroom. Oh, shit. I almost forgot about the things Luca and I bought. Argh, I still need to arrange them later, when we get home. So exhausting.When I spotted the car, I walked faster. I knocked on the window when I got there. Luca turned to my side and put down his cellphone, then opened the door for me. I went to the shotgun seat and fastened my seatbelt. I sighed as soon as I finished, then I leaned my head
