If only I can count the bucket of my tears... Maybe that wouldn’t sound absurd at all right after what happened to my friendship with Claire. I can’t even remember how it all started. Me loving Gabriel and him loving my bestfriend.
For a moment, I thought I was the one. I thought he likes me back now that Claire isn’t hanging out with us anymore. But I was wrong. So wrong. I shouldn’t have let myself be driven by these weird feelings.
Now I realized it. Maybe Gab just hang around with me for he was left with no choice, since I was just the one who can lead him to Claire. Sadly, as time passes by, he knows that I wasn’t planning to tease him to Claire or even help him get close to my bestfriend.
“You’re here... I was looking for you for apparently an hour now... Also, I almost check every place

KATE’s P.O.V. Graduation practice. I don’t know how, but thankfully, I passed all the requirements needed without Claire’s help. Elijah is there, and he gave me a very useful hand in everything that needs to be done. And now, I can proudly say that I’m one of those graduating students ready to march at stage and get our diploma.“Braganza, Claire,” the emcee announced and she climbed up to the stairs, shaking that hands of those who act as the honorable guest and teachers.“Excited to be called? Remember, this is just a practice. Don’t be so emotional,” Elijah teased me.“Ha, ha. Whatever, Elij. I just wanted to get this over with so that we can finally have the real graduation thing.”“Well, that’s very enthusiastic. If only you asked for my help earlier than when we’ve met then maybe you could’ve also enter the top students

KATE’s P.O.V.“I’m sorry, Kate. Something came up and I need to get that deal. Don’t worry, your Mom is already on her way home. She’s gonna make it, sweetie.” I wiped my tears away out of disappointment. I thought that Mom and Dad could make it to my graduation ceremony, but they couldn’t. I tried to act tough for Mom is going be here sooner or later... They promised.“I’m really sorry, Kate. I feel bad not attending your graduation as well... But you know I’m only doing this for your future,” Dad explained.“It’s okay, Dad. I’m fine. I’m still thankful that Mom could make it later today.”“Enjoy that moment, Kate. When I came back, I promised to treat you anywhere you want.” I nodded, before turning off the call. I’m supposed to be delighted, hearing those words. But I cou

KATE’s P.O.V. Eight years had passed. I can say that so many things had changed and I’m not the weak, silly teenager anymore. I’m now stronger, wiser, and tougher than before. And I love myself that much to be able to say it. Those past few years, I used the time to change everything about me... I dyed my hair blonde, so that I wouldn’t be compared as similar to Claire or to anyone else in our country. I worked on everything I can just to change my physical features except for doing a surgery, of course. I’m still me, but not the way I am before. I used to think that maybe, maybe if Claire and I met again someday and I’ve been completely different from her, she wouldn’t underestimate my capabilities anymore. It was almost a decade but the pain she and Gabriel had caused to me still remained cristal clear on my memory.

KATE’s P.O.V. I prepared myself for our welcome party tonight. I make sure that Mr. Herrera’s son is going to have a good first impression upon me. I wouldn’t waste this opportunity to have a great night with him.“Kate...” my Mom called from the other side of my door before I heard several knocks coming from it.“Yes, Mom?” I asked.“Can I come in?”“Sure, of course. Just open the door. It was unlocked.” I heard the door swing open and my Mom’s mouth formed an “O” shape as she saw my outfit. It was a very revealing dress matched by a high stilettoes. I also used a dark, crimson red lipstick that will gave anyone a hint that I am a sexy yet sophisticated woman.“What was that?” she asked.“Uhm, my outfit?”“Kate, are you sure you wanted to wear that

KATE’s P.O.V.“Kate! Wake up! We need to meet Mr. Herrera and his son at the newly opened restaurant in town...” Dad pounded on my door. I slowly opened my eyes, feeling sleepy and tired at the same time. We had just arrived the other day and yesterday, Mr. Herrera organized a welcome party for us. And now... I don’t know when will I ever get a good sleep again.“Darren will be there!” Dad shouted from the other side of the door. I instantly sat down as I heard his name. I badly wanted to see him again. And also, if ever I got a chance, I’ll try to kiss him to test my own capabilities.“I’ll be downstairs in twenty minutes.”“Sure. Your Mom is already waiting for you to eat breakfast.”“Alright, Dad...” I heard the fading sound of his footsteps, indi

KATE’s P.O.V. Five days had passed. I didn’t see Darren nor Mr. Herrera for Dad said that we shouldn’t get so worried about our wedding. They wanted it to be perfect so they are organizing it with the help of a highly paid organizer. Mom and I savour those past few days watching Netflix and any other video stuffs on YouTube. We also went shopping, but as I realized that I already got the rest and sleep that I wanted, I’m started to feel bored. Suddenly, I wanted to see Darren.“Where are you going?” Mom asked when she saw me wearing a nice outfit.“Uhm... I’m going to meet Dad,” I lied.“What? Your Dad has a client meeting for lunch.”“Oh...” I bit my lower lip, feeling guilty for lying to my Mom.“Just tell me, Kate. Where exactly are you going?”“Fine, fine.&rdquo

KATE’s P.O.V.“I couldn’t understand it! It was Darrel that told me about this arranged marriage. And now his son has a wife?” I looked down, before nodding. Mom sat beside me and caressed my back, only making me feel worst.“I told you, didn’t I?” Mom glared at Dad. “This marriage wouldn’t bring any good to our family specially to Kate...”“I don’t need your drama, Katheryn. What I wanted to know is why did that happened!”“Oh, so that’s what you really care about right now, Armando?” Mom stood up, looking mad at Dad. “What about your daughter?! Don’t you care about her feelings?!” I sighed, feeling the guilt for I am the reason why my Mom and Dad are fighting right now. I wanted to throw a tantrums and cry in front of them, remembering the scenario when I first saw m

KATE’s P.O.V.“Why haven’t you tell me your name before? You know, I waited for you at the rooftop of the tallest building in our school right after our graduation ceremony but you didn’t come. Tell me, did I do something wrong to you, Kate?” I looked away, afraid to be trapped by his intense stares. I decided to lie and don’t tell him the truth. Since now that I finally realized that Claire and Elijah have some kind of relationship with each other like what we have before. Looks like they are friends too.“No, you haven’t done anything wrong. My Mom just wanted to celebrate my graduation day so we leave in the school earlier than I expected.”“You forgot about me just like that?” he asked, then pouted.“Uhm... Nope. I haven’t forgot you, Elij...”“Then why aren’t you answering my calls?”

I waited even though we’ve got a lot of doubts about ourselves... But in the end, we find it worth it. Kate and I... The two of us finally became an official couple. Today is the day that I have been waiting for. The day that I am going to ask her to marry me. And with the help of Darren and Claire, I know that everything will be alright.

# KATE’s P.O.V. Now that everything is going smooth and fine between me and Claire, I decided to mend the broken lines between me and Elijah as well so that I could finally have the peace of mind that I’ve always wanted to have ever since the beginning. I just hope that it was not too late for me to apologize to the one and only man that I truly love. It’s been three days since the night of Cloey’s birthday party, and so the next morning, I finally decided to come to his apartment, with my hands trembling out of too much nervousness. I can’t believe that I will be looking so dumb just like this in front of him... I never expected that this could happen, that I would be the one to hurt the person I love the most instead of the other way around, just like what usually happens before.

#KATE’s P.O.V. As we entered one fast food chain, the three of us, Claire, Cloey, and I, instantly search for a table before Claire decided that she should be the one to order in the counter. So I was left alone with Cloey, and I took the opportunity to talk to her and know more things about her parents relationship to Elijah. I know that Darren and Elijah are long time besties, but what I wanted to know is the relationship between Claire and my boyfriend. Call me a narrow minded person, but can you blame me? After all the things that I have been through... I just couldn’t trust anyone else anymore.“Hey, Cloey...” I trailed off, calling her name.“Yes, lady?” she asked me. I don’t want to take advantage of her innocence but I know to myself that I need to do this.“Your Mom and Elijah...

# KATE’s P.O.V. The next morning, nobody came to talk to me, nor bother to text me something... Or even a simple greeting. There is no one’s name registered on my phone, or anything. Maybe Elijah is indeed really mad at me. But why? I’m only trying to protect myself from being hurt once again. I took a deep breath, before deciding that I should probably go to some place that could make me happy... A place where I could temporary forget about everything, including all of our problems. I didn’t want to hurt Elijah that way, it’s just that I’m having a hard time to give my complete trust to someone for I know that it could ruin me once again. And so after preparing myself, I grabbed my purse as I decided to come to the mall and treat myself for apparently no reason at all.&nbs

It matches the dress of my Barbie dolls that Uncle Elijah gave to me... But what is this?” she curiously asked.“Uhm... That was a journal, baby. Your personal diary... I mean, if you grow old someday, you will realize things... Things that you couldn’t ask to another person because you will be afraid or scared to make them think that you are weird or something... So if ever that you have some questions about yourself and you don’t know whom to ask it, you can write it down in here...”“Really? Will I be able to find the answer then?”“Maybe... As time passes by, if you read the first pages of this diary, you will finally be able to answer that question all by yourself. It’s

KATE’s P.O.V.“Tomorrow is Cloey’s birthday. Darren and Claire are inviting us to have a dinner with them.” I stopped for a moment, thinking about that invitation. Would I allow past to prevent me from leaving a normal and happy life? Of course not. I will try my best to beat that horrifying history of mine. Maybe in that way, Claire and I could finally have a closure... Or maybe reconcile, even better.“Hey...” I felt Elijah’s hands on both of my shoulders.“Y-Yeah?”“Would you come there with me? I promise I will be there... I won’t leave your side, Kate... Never again.” I smiled at him, before tiptoeing to give him a quick smack on his lips. He chuckled, before pinching my nose.“So, would you come with me then, Ms. Frias?”“Sure, Elij. I will come with you.&rdqu

KATE’s P.O.V. Elijah take me in his small apartment, and it feel great, being in this place once again. I look around the inner part of his home. It’s so good to know that he didn’t even thought about changing his address for the past few years of his life. Because if he did, I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t be able to find him anymore if ever that I did came back here myself.“What are you thinking?” I nearly squeal as I suddenly feel his lips on my temple.“Shit! You startled me!” I complained.“Sorry,” was his short response. Though he managed to wrapped his hands around my waist.“Elijah?” I called him, badly wanting to tell him something that is been bothering my mind ever since we became an official couple... Which is one thing that I didn’t expect to happen. Who would have thought that my friend way back in high school would

KATE’s P.O.V. Elijah asked me to go out with him, as we officially started counting our precious exchanges of smiles. He said that he will take me anywhere that I wanted, in any places that will make me smile. And so, I requested him to bring me to our old high school building... The tallest building in our campus, to be specific. While driving, Elijah often glance at my direction for I can’t stop myself from staring at his handsome face. I mean, how could the world be so unfair sometimes? He’s too cute for a guy. I hope I can have even just twenty-five percent of his looks.“Will you stop drooling over me? It kind of starting to freak the hell out of me...” He laughed.“Sorry.” I blushed out of embarrassment. “I just... I couldn’t help it,” I shamelessly admitted.“That’s cute,” he stated, his eyes stil

And even though he didn’t promised, I know he wouldn’t. Even though Elijah and I haven’t talk about anything to do for today, I feel the need to prepare myself before going down to our dining room, where my Mom is currently preparing our breakfast.“Hey, you’re looking good, sweetie. How’s your sleep?” she asked me.“It’s... Great, Mom. I think it is.”“Well that was good to hear. Come then, I prepared something for you.” She took out a plate for me before putting a cup of garlic fried rice onto it. She added some bacons and fried eggs, and I instantly felt the hun
