But today couldn't be helped.Why?Because today was his sister's wedding and she saw dressed in a dream colored sundress that stopped below her knees and was paired with a pair of cream flats. Eve helped her pin her hair backwards with a cream bow."Are you sure you can go? He won't mind since you're sick," Eve said to her. Willow waved her off, "He doesn't know I'm sick and no one is telling him." She didn't want him to start showing care again, it'll only make it worse.Eve gave her a worried look but allowed her to leave the room. "I'll text you later," Willow said and she nodded, watching her leave the dorm.Her phone began to ring and she swallowed hard before picking the call. "Thank you for finally answering my call," Nathan's voice was edgy which made her wince. "I'm sorry," she mumbled. "I'm outside," he said and hung up.She sighed and went to look for him.She found him lea

"Let's break up"Was what Willow said as she stepped out of Nathan's car. Nathan frowned as he stepped out of the car and went to her side. "And where is this coming from?" he asked as he held her so she wouldn't fall. She pushed herself away from him. "Grandma is no longer sick. There's no need to keep this up anymore. You're also graduating, you don't need to be stuck with me," she said but he didn't let go of her."Is that the only reason?" he asked her and she nodded. They walked towards the dorm and he turned her around to look at him. "I'm not breaking up with you," he said and she glared at him.He's making this hard for her."Nathan, I can't keep up with this," she said to him. "Keep up with what?" he asked and she wanted to kick him seeing how confused he was. "You know fully well what I'm talking about. I can't keep up with you faking care and concern all the time, it's killing me!" she exclaimed.He frowned, "I'm not faking it, Willow." She scoffed, "You were mad at me toda

Summer break was finally here and Willow was not prepared for it at all. The school had just done their convocation ceremony two weeks ago and now Willow was ready to go back to Dallas to meet her grandma. Nathan offered to take her back but she declined immediately and he did not like it one bit. So they came to a conclusion that he would drive her to the bus stop instead.And that was what he was doing at the moment. There was a comfortable silence in car as he drove. They got to the bus stop and go out of the car. Nathan grabbed her luggage and they sat at the bus station waiting for the bus. "So you're going to miss me, aren't you?" Willow teased, breaking the silence. He chuckled and kissed her nose. "Are we really going to talk about this?" he asked and she laughed. "Just say you don't want to admit it," she said and he rolled his eyes. "Only if you'll admit that you'll miss me too," he said and she scoffed. "Not happening," she said and he laughed."Try not to give your grand

"I hate physics so much," Lilian mumbled unhappily as she crossed her arms in annoyance. Willow chuckled as she realized how cute she looked while being frustrated. "I won't lie to you, Lily. Physics is hard but you just have to show a little bit of attention to it," she said and Lilian cried out in frustration causing the people in the café to look at them.It's been two weeks into summer and their father brought Lilian spend the rest of the summer with them to try the sister bonding."I'm going to fail my senior year," Lilian groaned and covered her face with her hands. Willow sighed and closed the books on the table. "Let's take a break, okay?" Lilian nodded and removed her hands from her face."Let's talk about something then," Willow suggested and Lilian nodded. "Why did you cut your hair?" she asked and Willow blinked a little. She didn't expect her to ask that question. People had never asked why her hair was short.Unconsciously, Willow touched her hair that stopped above her

Not understanding what was going on, Nathan and Lilian looked at each other. "What are you doing with my sister?" Willow asked with narrowed eyes. She couldn't believe she was seeing this man right now. "He was helping me with my work," Lilian replied with a confused face."You guys know each other?" Nathan decided to intervene. "Knew," Willow corrected and he got the hint that it wasn't a nice memory. Seeing the bouquet in her hands, Kaden connected the dots and stood up with a fake grin."It's nice to meet you, I'm Kaden," he said. "Nathan," Nathan replied. "I need air," Willow mumbled and gave the bouquet to Nathan before running out of the café. She ran to a bench by the parking lot and sat down, burying her face in her hands. She couldn't believe this was happening.Emotions came rushing into her like a wave and she felt choked up. She hadn't seen him since the day they broke up and she didn't think she was ready to see him again."Willow"She looked up to see Kaden standing in

"My summer was wasted!" Eve cried as they walked out of the dorm building. Willow rolled her eyes as she dragged her best friend down the road towards the school building. "You've been moaning about this for the past four weeks since we resume, forget about it already," She said and Evelyn scoffed."I still had so much to do, Will! I wanted to get a silk press," she cried. "Stop being a baby and get over it. You'll get a silk press later, September is almost over," Willow said with and eye roll.Evelyn then let out a dramatic gasp and turned to face Willow. "Guess whose birthday is coming up in October?" she said to Willow while wiggling her brows and Willow waved her off. "I wonder how Chase keeps up with you," she mumbled and Eve pouted."Don't say that. It makes me seem annoying," she said. Willow gave her a deadpanned look, "You are annoying. If you keep this up, I'm not getting you any present."Eve gasped and narrowed her eyes at her, "You wouldn't dare!"∞"I have a feeling exa

Second semester was almost over. The final year exams could testify to that. The seniors were surprisingly very serious and dedicated to studying. The seniors like Miss Evelyn."You're breathing too loud. Do you want me to fail?" Evelyn glared at Willow who gave her an unfazed look. "This law is getting into your head too much. You're already turning into a bipolar animal," she commented and Eve rolled her eyes."You better shut your pretty mouth before stuff my fist in there for you," she said to her and Willow raised her hands in defeat. "Yes, ma'am," she said and turned her attention back to her textbook. "I thank God that after tomorrow, I'll be free from the tortures of education," Evelyn mumbled as she slammed her book shut and placed it on the floor before lying beside Willow and putting her head on her lap."When did this intimacy start?" Willow raised a brow. "Ever since our boyfriends began to ignore us," Eve said and she giggled. "Unlike you, they have better things to be

"I'm so happy!" Evelyn squealed as she hugged Willow. Willow laughed and hugged her too. "We've finally graduated! I feel like crying!" Eve said and she rolled her eyes. "You don't need to be dramatic," Jude, Evelyn's younger brother said. "Just because you're still in high school doesn't mean you should step on my happiness," Eve scowled at him and he rolled his eyes before walking away."He's never nice to me," Eve grumbled and everyone else laughed. Willow turned to look at her younger sister whose cheeks were a little heated. They had just finished the convocation ceremony and everyone was preparing to go home. Willow wanted to spend a week with her dad and sister before going back to Dallas. "I'm proud of you, my love," she turned to see her father approaching her with his arms wide open.

People's joy knew no bounds when the news of Nathan's recovery spread everywhere. The doctor, which was Jayden, advised that he'd be on bed rest for minimum of a week so he can regain his full strength. Nathan was not at all happy with this and he used every means to show it.

"Daniel, it's alright. Things happen, stop apologizing," Nathan said to his son as he stroked his hair. Daniel snuggled closer to his father with tears falling down his cheeks.

It's been three months since Nathan's accident. It spread through the news and even got to newspapers and magazines. There was even a part that stated him having kids in secret because there was a picture of Wave and Daniel calling him daddy while trying to wake him up.

"Oh God, please help me."∞"Did you ask him to confirm if it's true or not?" Eve asked her. "I didn't want to walk to him at all," Willow mumbled as she looked through her patients' files.
