# 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.
# ELIJAH’s P.O.V.Two years later... I waited for almost half of my life for this girl... I patiently waited for her to come back, right after she search for herself. 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. Nothing could go wrong, nor stop us anymore. From this day forward, Kate and I will be finally engaged, and I won’t hesitate to marry her right away if only that is possible.“So Cloey, when Kate arrived, I wanted you to tugged her until the other side o
KATE’s P.O.V.“That was gross!” I cried as the freak cut off the woman’s head on the television.“Please turn it off, Kate!” Claire pleaded while covering her eyes.“Why? This movie is the best,” I stated.“No, it’s not.” Claire throw a pillow over my direction. I laughed, seeing my bestfriend scared to death. We are having a sleepover and I can’t help but to think why am I even friends with this lady. We’ve known each other since high school, and we are not keeping secrets. What Claire knows, I know. Despite of having two very different personalities, we get along so well. Claire being the friendly one while I’m being the cold hearted bitch at our school. I love horror movies, while she is obsessed with cringe romance films.“Just please, change the movie, Kate,” she said, tryin
KATE’s P.O.V. My driver parked our car in front of Claire’s house. It’s been a week since our first encounter with that Gabriel guy. But even so, I can still remember his face, the sound of his voice, and everything about him.“Kate! You’re here!” Claire bounced happily towards me. I beamed at her, thankful that I could spend every lunch with the man I like because of her being so much friendly to everyone.“I’m here to borrow you again from your parents.” She laughed at my statement. “Just kidding. But you know, weekend is...”“Bestfriend time!” we both shouted before we did our secret handshake.“So... Are you ready?”“Uhm, yeah. I’ll just get my sleepover stuffs. Do you want to get inside?” she asked.“Sure!” &
KATE’s P.O.V.“So... Where are we going to meet?” Gabriel asked excitedly.“We can meet by the coffee shop nearby our school,” Claire answered confidently. “Is that okay with you, Kate?” she asked, before winking at my direction. We are currently eating our lunch at the Cafeteria. Gabriel decided to sit with us again and because of that, my bestfriend finally got the chance to set up her plan. She invited us to go to the mall, hang out or do anything that we can out there.“O-of course, i-it’s fine with m-me,” I answered, stuttering.“Great! Should I pick you up, Claire?” Gabriel asked to my bestfriend. I looked down, trying to ignore the fact that the man I like just offered a ride to my bestfriend without asking me first.“Silence means–”“No!” Claire exclaim
KATE’s P.O.V. Today is the day that I've been waiting for. Whenever I’m thinking about it, I still feel nervous. But of course I wouldn’t chicken out. I promised that to myself... I promised that to my bestfriend. Claire worked very hard to set this up and I wouldn’t let that hard work of hers to be wasted. I owe it to her to at least do this on my own. I promised to make this day count.“Ms. Kate? Someone is looking for you outside,” one of our maids stated. I ran towards the mirror in my room to check out myself. I’m pretty sure it’s Gabriel. He won’t be late, I guess. I’m currently fixing myself up before I heard another call coming from one of my maids.“I’m coming!” I went downstairs only to find Atty. Gomez. He is one of my f
KATE’s P.O.V.“Then he winked at me! Can you imagine it?! Gabriel winked at me and then he touched my hand and he... He...”“Okay, breathe, Kate,” Claire stated while suppressing her laughter. “You told me that a hundred times on the phone already.”“Sorry! I just... I couldn’t help but to think about it, Claire. That was probably the best date I’ve ever had in my whole life!”“Best and first, you mean. And I’m gonna make sure that it wouldn’t be the last,” she stated, before winking at me.“What do you mean? Oh, my, God! Are you saying that you’re gonna help me again to set up another date with Gabriel?!” I asked hopefully. Claire nodded, making me jump and ran towards her to give her a tight hug as a sign of gratitude.“Thank you so much!” I squealed.“Hey, that’s what
KATE’s P.O.V. Two weeks had passed. Two weeks without me talking to my bestfriend, or either way around. She’s not talking to me anymore, nor to Gabriel. Speaking of that guy, he always hangout with me even without Claire. I don’t know what happened between the two of them but suddenly, they became distinct to each other. Maybe because of the fact that Claire was avoiding him or something.“Ms. Frias, your partner for your last project this year which is the research paper is Mr. Elijah Ramirez.” I was dumbfounded when I heard that name. That guy, he always sticks around like a used bubble gum. Though it wasn’t his fault that our teacher chose him to be my partner for this project. In that way, I wouldn’t lift even just a single finger for this paper.“Hey, let’s talk about our paper later, Ms. Frias,” he stated, before winking at me.
KATE’s P.O.V. 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. 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
KATE’s P.O.V.“A journal?” Elijah asked.“Yeah... I told you, you wouldn’t like it,” I said, looking at Cloey’s direction.“I do like it’s color, Aunt Kate. 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
KATE’s P.O.V. I woke up having a wide smile plastered upon my face. It felt nice, having someone who could give you that peace of mind. I know Elijah wouldn’t cheated on me. I trust him enough... 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
