Valentine
I haven't finished my food yet, but I have to move out of Vincent and Keiran's earshot before I answer Dominic's call. My brother just came out to me, which is motherfucking unbelievable, by the way. Yet little did he know he was also talking to someone who's in love with another guy. What are the odds! There's a lot of stuff that I didn’t know about him just like this. We used to be so close together when we were both kids, but now that we have grown, tons of things have drastically changed between us. I have some things that I’m embarrassed even to let him know, and I’m confident that he also has some stuff inside him. I believe now is not the best time for him to hear how much I'm obsessed with Dominic. This is h
DominicTo my sudden surprise, Valentine's voice began to intensify. Although my question isn't that complex, it definitely jerked some intense reaction somewhere within him. Maybe he was not expecting that kind of question to pop up that he was caught off-guard. I never thought he'd react that way. He's gay, that's for sure but his reaction, even if it wasn't violent, was overflowing with real emotion."Why are you shouting?" I asked utterly calm, seconds passed, but I never received any response on the other line."Hello. Valentine. Hello.
ValentineImmersed in total silence inside my car, I won’t just stop pondering about several scenarios on how things will turn out a few moments from now. The lack of distractive noises and people lingering around just made me completely transfixed. I can picture myself drowning in a cold sweat as we try to have a decent family conversation at the dinner table. I can feel the deep-set awkwardness exercising authority as we eat silently and the only noise we can hear is the sound of cutlery and plates, the sound of food being tensely chewed, and even the sound that our throat makes every time we gulp some water. I can see dad extremely comfortable with utmost happiness radiating from his usual spot facing all four of us not knowing that b
DominicValentine slowly faded away until he was already gone, leaving a heartbroken douchebag behind.What have I done?What the actual fuck!
ValentineIt was a bit difficult to sleep on the couch, given the limited space, but I would rather choose to pamper and lift my pride than to push it down and sleep right beside Dominic. The tension is invisibly present, and the wounds are still fresh. And I don't mean to keep on squeezing lemon drops on that wound when I know I can just let the power of time to heal it. Maybe Dominic would swallow his towering pride and decided to come and talk to me. Or perhaps I'll wait for the wound to heal up first before I myself start talking to him again. After all, I'm not that furious at him; I'm just in pain by what he's thinking about me. Right now, I wish to keep my lips zipped tight. But why does this shit have to happen anyway? I believe foreve
DominicI guess Valentine doesn't really want to talk this shit out with me as I ended up in unfortunate solitary confinement here in his very own bedroom. What a total bummer yet at least I'm still thankful that he's not doing something crazy like punching some innocent wall or reckless driving to drown his pain away. I was more than ready to admit my mistakes and apologize to him, and perhaps after that, we can have some make-up kiss, maybe even beyond that. I don't know what has gotten into me to create this mess. I guess it was because I conceitedly thought that I can always play him, that I can easily trick and test him, that he's more than just a stupid jerk. I actually deserve this punishment that he's giving me.
ValentineI swore to the seven heavens that I won't let my anger take control of me ever again, and yet here I am completely acting as simple as a marionette manipulated by my puppeteer, anger. My initial blow momentarily knocked Lance out of balance, but he was able to get back up quicker than I initially thought ultimately dodging my second punch as he managed to land his fist on my left cheek. It did hurt, but unfortunately, it wasn't that strong enough to knock me out of balance as I was quick to grab his one arm and land a punch on his stomach, twice. Yhannie and Dominic were both panicking and screaming at us, but all I can hear was just a clanging noise. Anger had utterly taken over my body that I paid no attention at anyone other than
Dominic"Ouch!" Valentine squealed just as I am beginning to clean his busted lip. "That hurts!""Yup, you deserve that, you stupid jerk" I shot at him as I pressed harder, purposely hurting him."AWWW!" He complained. He’s squealing in pain, but he did not hold back on challenging Lance to a fight? He could’ve reacted more like a mature person, but he chose to be the immature one, so he totally deserves this.
ValentineEveryone knows that there's a Romeo to every Juliet, a Jack to every Rose and most definitely an Ennis to every Jack motherfuckin' Twist. I had just watched that film last night. It was a hell of an emotional rollercoaster ride, and it inadvertently taught me one particular thing, I need to be the Valentine to Dominic motherfucking Warren.Even though I'm already used to not getting better if not the best sleep, I still feel uncomfortably sleepy after not obtaining a good night's sleep
ValentineI don't know what to do. Dominic just said it, he doesn't love me and that everything was planned from the very start. I rushed going down the stage not knowing where to go and how to get out of here but as soon as I reached the dance floor filled with a lot of speechless people, they all paved a narrow space for me in the middle. It's like when Moises parted the sea with his wooden staff. I'm already humiliated to the stars, and the agony is already owning the throne inside me, so there's no point in trying to have pride or even dignity. Everything is pointless now.
Dominic"So it's true then?" Valentine’s eyes were like sharp spears piercing straight at me. I gave him a "what's true" expression still refusing to admit some things."Is this true?" Valentine turned his attention to Yhannie who just closed her eyes, refusing to say something but even without saying anything Valentine understood immediately."What the fuck Dominic. You really did play me, huh." He fished
Valentine"May I take this dance?" I struggled a little bit to position myself in order to ask Dominic properly to the first dance that he will remember for the rest of his life. The handcuff limited the way I moved, but in the end, I managed to successfully ask him as if I’m a gentleman asking a dignified lady for a dance at a royal ball."Oui" He replied, eventually taking my hand. We nervously inched our way towards the dance floor where everyone can see us.Tale
DominicSomeone came quick as fuck to where I was seated, that is unfortunately right next to Valentine and simultaneously cuffed my hand to his. It left me utterly frozen for a moment. My mind is slowly trying to process what had just happened. I didn't even have the chance to even say something about it. It happened really fast like a swift bird just flew by."Well, I guess we will be prison-mates for the rest of the night" I heard Valentine jokingly utter.
DominicI stared hopeless and crestfallen up above the silky sky as Valentine drove the car. Mr. Sun is about to sink in an hour just as much as my life is about to be ruined in a few hours. I don't know what to do anymore, my mind is just basically empty with ideas. It seemed more like a barren land unable to support life. The past few days had been the greatest and the happiest moment I've ever been in my life, and if things go distressingly bad tonight, then I can say this is the peak of my high school love life. I deadly want to quit this shit, and I'm stupidly stressed. I really thought I knew what I was going into like the back of my hands, but it turns out that I
ValentineI woke up exceptionally early the next day since I promised Aunt Katya that I'll be temporarily taking the job of driving Dominic to school, and of course, I had to take the little sister as well. Collene really liked me as well; I can tell that by how much of a talker she is whenever I'm around. I think she's aware of the little thing going on between her brother and me. She keeps on implying little details, which Dominic quickly squashes every time.I was about to park the car when I saw Yhannie rushing towards us, and tha
ValentineI deliberately stole the paper hidden from Dominic's book and decided to keep it to myself. My knees were shaking at first, but I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and carefully processed the whole thing and ultimately brushing it off temporarily in the corner. This is appalling, yet I'm trying my best to be more optimistic, perhaps this is for the better, I thought. Usually, I ain't that type of a decision-maker but to be honest, this is totally a groundbreaking improvement for me. I'm pretty sure that I've read my name that is legibly written on it. My brain says it could be anything. I'm going to give Dominic the benefit of the doubt or perhaps I'm going to investigate whatever bullshit this list is under the shadows. I love Domi
YhannieMy hangover doesn't seem to meet its end after I drank three bottles of ginger ale and a cup of brewed coffee. I promised myself that I won't drink that much so I could be effective as Dominic's surveillance. And, to my greatest regret of joining the anti-Valentine club, I wanted to see what they are really planning on. The club hasn't been transparent as clear as crystal to me ever since I signed up for this upcoming debacle and leaning solely against my woman intuition, I can feel that there's something really fishy that is about to go down. But I just need to know what it is the whole damn plan. I went rushing straight to my bedroom after Valentine and Dominic dropped me home
ValentineI cannot fucking believe that Dominic just said yes to me. I know for sure that my world would crash to its ultimate demise if ever he said no, but I guess him saying yes to me will equally be the death of me. It's been hours after that event, and I feel like I'm ready to die out of this supreme happiness. My heart is still pounding to the stars even after the last period. Some of my classmates kept on looking and smiling at me, others are noticeably laughing at me, but I don't give a single fuck about them. Honestly, I feel terrific. Going into soccer practice is expectedly hard for me. I just voluntarily outed myself to the whole campus, I have no regrets, to be honest, and that's a fact, but I just don't know if I could handle wha
