118MILO'S POVBy nine in the evening, Josh had invited me to go to some sick clubs around Glendale and he said I need time to party to forget about the pain that I have been carrying for the past days. He said maybe I can meet up with people or some girls to spend the night away but I knew no matter how many girls I used to void out Lindy in my head, I know it will do nothing. I was not really up for any party tonight but somewhat in the back of my head I know I had to get out and have fun. We arrived in this club that had really upbeat music but I was not really pumped up because I know I was suppose to be in my hotel room, sleeping. There tons of women in sexy dresses who were flirting with me and I was politely responding back with a smile. There two bodyguards with us who made sure that no one could crowd around me. We were led to the VIP table where I see a few of the crew being around here and has ordered a few drinks and some foods. Josh was hyped as we were hanging out with
119ROWAN'S POVI was super fucking pissed at Milo . He's adding fuel to the fire.I chased Lindy who was already leaving the pub and I can tell that she is crying as she was heading out. I called out her name through the massive people around but she didn't look back at me. I have to stop her and I have to explain that this was not part of the plan. This was all my idea of her coming here all the way to Glendale, and I was even the one who pleaded for her to be here and Milo just fucked it up again.I told the lads to keep an eye on Milo and not to let him know that Lindy was here and saw it because this place was not the perfect time for that chaos. It's too public and Milo looked too drunk to handle this now. I don’t even fucking know why he is kissing Georgia Fowler and allowing her to sit on his fucking lap."Lindy wait up!!!" I called out to her as I grabbed her wrist before she reaches the door.She pulled them back and stared at me with her tears all over her rosy cheeks. I pi
120I sit here still ignoring him hoping that he would go away. I stare at the man who is now turning his attention to me. I pulled out my phone and replied to Rowan: Dream Jazz and Blues“You look like you need some company.” The man still does not go away.I kept ignoring him so I stand on my feet and tried to look for a vacant table. As soon as I stood, I felt my entire world getting dizzy. The man violently grabbed my arm and pulled me back as he stares at me angrily, “Don't be rude!" "I don't want to talk to you!" I yelled and fought as I tried to pull my hand away causing me to spill all of my remaining alcohol on his pants.“Why you little--”"Hey man.” He was cut off when Rowan arrived the jazz bar bringing Paul and the other bodyguard that looked humongous. “Don't push the girl if she doesn't want to."The man holding my wrist had finally released me but my entire world was spinning completely around causing me to lose my balance. I fell on the ground but was thankfully caug
121LINDY'S POVWhen I woke up, it was already nine in the morning, I think.My entire body felt tired and my eyes felt heavy for real. I think I fell asleep crying. I couldn’t forget what I saw last night and it made me wonder if he has been doing these all these time even when we were together. Milo kissing other women broke me because I was so eager to talk to him and to listen him.I closed my eyes trying to dismiss what I saw last night from my head and telling myself that he was okay and he was getting better. He was okay this whole time and I had to worry about him being convinced that he was hurt and dying. I don’t know how they managed to get that video of him playing the piano and singing as if he was so heartbroken ever recorded. That was all staged. I should never had come here."Morning."I moved my head to the door and saw Rowan standing. I pulled myself up from the bed and remembered that I was in a jazz bar. I don’t remember how the hell I am in this room with him in
122MILO’S POVI quickly pulled my head up when I heard her name and I see her standing along the entrance of the hotel’s restaurant as she was staring at me. I can see tears forming behind her eyelids and how she got hurt for seeing the same woman she has seen me kissing from last night."Lindy." I muffled.I see her running away from us and I quickly pulled myself up from the chair as I tried to chase her, I wanted to talk to her. I wanted to explain that it does not what it looked like. I wanted hold her. I wanted to wipe her tears that I've caused for all of these mess I involved her in. I wanted to tell her how sorry I was and how a bastard I've been for letting her slip away from me. I see her running to the elevator but I pulled her wrist back before she could press the button."Lindy wait up please." I called out right away.She rapidly pulled her arm back and stared at me with tears in her eyes. "You're an asshole."“Lindy please give me a chance to explain.” I tell her.Lin
123"Fuck." I thought as I groan inwardly. “Thanks." I told her as I ran out of the hotel. I was mobbed right away by fans the second I reached outside the hotel and the paparazzi were starting to arrive. It was so hard to get away because the people were crowding around me and I had no bodyguards with me. The fans were dying to get a picture but I had no time left. I hurriedly hailed a taxi cab again and told the driver to head to the airport."Hello?" Jasper answered.Thank god someone has answered my calls!"Finally someone answered!” I exclaimed in the taxi cab.“Why? What’s up? You sound like you’re in a rush.”“I am in a rush. Where are you?" I asked."At the airport. Why?" he asked."I'm on my way. Has Lindy left?""Not yet. But you better hurry up. Her flight is minutes from now and there are fans crowding us.""Shit.""Don't worry I'll tell Paul to watch out for you when you reach the entrance of the airport." He tells me kindly."Alright. Thanks man."I hang up and stared o
124MILO'S POVEveryone was hyped in the dressing room.Everyone was all in a good mood, laughing and joking around because today was the last day of the tour. We have been waiting for this day to end because we were all literally tired from travelling and not getting enough sleep. Our voices are somewhat strained from performing one concert after another and I think tonight was going to be a good one. This was the day that we have been looking forward to because we can finally rest from all the touring although I would somewhat being on tour with these amazing people. We managed to pull ourselves through the tiring nights from technical difficulties to incompatible differences which caused a few riff-off backstage but managed to made amends. I hoped that this was going to be a good night for the entire band and the rest of the entire crew because once the tour will end, we would have a lot of things to handle aside from the movie On The Road Again: Backstage Access. The director an
125 When all of us got back to London, we were all happy to be on a quick vacation after all the touring. We had a few days off before getting busy with the movie and I had more time to focus on filing this case and winning it against the management. I cannot wait till I see Patrick and Dan’s fucking face the moment they know I am suing them. We were called in a meeting by the management the next day they found out what I did and I had to bring my lawyers with me during the meeting. Patrick and Dan looked remorse and I have never been so happy seeing them like that. I can finally get back at these assholes who ruined my relationship.“We are not renewing our contract.” Lucius says confidently. “I think it is about time to pull out from this because the management clearly does not know how to take care of their artists.”“All five of you are ungrateful to Modest!” Patrick exclaims angrily.“Patrick, I think we all know how terrible you have been to all of us.” Jasper answers him. “To

I do not even want to say the word!""Stop being so overdramatic, Em. We all started somewhere." Milo mocks."I started rich and popular, I am keeping that title." She stood her ground.Milo tilts his head, "Not unless I take that away from you."She gapes.Ezekiel pulled up his pad as soon as he finished writing the words, “Cheer up Em. It is not so bad.” with a smiley face next to the sentence.It annoyed her even more. She loves her twin brother, but she hates the situation that she was in.“Not so bad for you!!” She screams at her brother before she groans. “You can not do this to me!!” Emerald screams like the drama queen she is.Days passed, Emerald found herself arriving in Aidenwoods, New Zealand with two big pieces of luggage and only a hundred pounds in her wallet and the other hund
70‘The famous Beckett duo called EZME called it quits after five years of singing together to their millions of fans due to personal issues, scandals, and health conditions that needed to be taken more seriously. Ezekiel Beckett has been suffering from Muscle Tension Dysphonia which causes the sound and feel of his voice to change due to extreme muscle tension in and around his voice box. As a result, it causes his voice to regularly stop performing more efficiently which broke a lot of his female fans' hearts. The 21-year-old heartthrob and crooner recently lost his voice due to stress, tension, overuse, and overwork and is now going through therapy doing various exercises.On the other hand, Emerald Beckett, who is no longer new to scandals and issues, has gotten some pretty bad press every now and then. The 21-year-old pop star and the other half of the duo called EZME have been known for her horrific diva behavior since her rise in popularity. It has always been rumored that she
69L I N D Y After the honeymoon, I bravely decided to go back to college and finish where I left off. Milo has been very supportive of my decisions and he has been my confidante in almost anything that I do and I want to do. He would confront me about what would be the best and would advise me when things get harder or more confusing. He is just there constantly supporting me which means so much to me after everything.When he asked me if I would move in with him to London, I did not hesitate to agree with him because all my life anywhere with him, whether it is in London, Peru, Spain, South Africa, the Philippines, or anywhere around the world, I would want to be with him. Always. Mom and dad felt sad when they found out that I was moving to another continent which made them feel a little bit emotional before we parted ways. Although they understand that things are going to be different now that I am getting older and wiser and have plans set on ahead of me with Milo. Yet, my paren
68L I N D Y “Welcome home Lindy!!!” I was taken aback as soon as the party poppers popped that came out of nowhere and I see everyone in this house greeting me with smiles on their faces. I see Lucius, Jasper, Silas, and Rowan who came all the way to celebrate this day with me which really means so much to me after what I have been through. It was the kind of support system that I needed after what happened to me and how these people are showing me an unconditional kind of love. These guys, whom I have always considered as my older brothers from other mothers, are all here and this means the world to me. I see Martha who ran towards me in a split second and hugged me tightly with tears flooding in her eyes which made me cry too because this scene is very much making me so emotional. She hugs me tight as she says the words, "I am so glad to see you again. I have missed you. I have missed you so much. I missed you a lot."She makes me bawl my eyes out as I hug onto her tighter, "I m
67L I N D YSaint Francis Sanitarium had a different way of treatment which had been pretty much helpful for my recovery. They also had strict rules about visitors, no one was really allowed to see the patients who are under treatments like me to avoid problems, complications, and miscalculations. There were no cellphones allowed inside and Wi-Fi as well to avoid any social media. Although they allowed gifts from the outside, it was still hard not to be able to see everyone. I didn’t let my negative emotions get the worst of me because I had to be strong for myself and my kids and for everyone else who is waiting for me to head out of this mental facility. I faced this battle head on and even though it was hard for me to accept the changes that I have had, emotionally and mentally, I am still very thankful for the support that I am getting from my family, friends, and of course Milo.Milo has been sending me hand written letters every day which is something I always look forward to
66M I L OWhat did she mean by that?Did she mean it literally?Silence, there was silence between us and I was just utterly and indescribably confused. She didn’t answer while her eyes were looking all over the entire house. Her eyes looked like she was searching for something inside the house and at the same time, she looked like she was in distraught. She looked so lost, sad, and completely puzzled by her own thoughts inside her head.“Are you alright baby?” I holler.She nods and looks back at me, “Yes. Just…. Just a little… awake.”I tried to ignore what I heard from her about hearing them in her head and just walked towards her, “I thought you fell asleep?”She shakes her head, “I can’t.”“Did you even try?”She nods. “Yes. These days it’s just hard for me to sleep.”“Should we visit the doctor?”“No.” Her voice was firm. “No need for that.”I take her hand to mine, “Hey, let’s go back to sleep. Shall we?”She nods and smiles before we walked up to the bedroom.I still hear the
65M I L OThey were so tiny.Very tiny.So fragile. So delicately adorable. I stare at them from outside the glass window and my heart swells with these crazy emotions that are building up inside me the more I stare at how tiny and angelic they looked. Staring at them, I did not know that I could love more my sweet Lindy for carrying my little soldiers who are now battling with their own lives. I had no idea that these tiny creatures would actually make me feel much more whole in some way. I glance at the tubes and machines that were surrounding them to help them survive and grow and I know they are fighters and that they will grow stronger. I know. I know they will. I watch as their chests go up and down while they were breathing as they were moving their tiny hands around and subtly kicked their small feet. It was amazing how they looked and how their tiny movements could actually surprise me and amaze me at the same time. Absentmindedly, I am staring at them with a smile on m
64M I L OI laugh humorlessly as I shake my head sideways, not wanting to believe what I have just heard. No, this cannot be possible. There is absolutely no way. No. I had no idea that Ricky was this selfish and this heartless with everything that had happened. He is and has always been only thinking about himself and no other else. He only and always wants to save himself from everything when the going gets rough then runs away and hides like a frightful little child and pass the blame onto others so he can clear his name.This man is despicable, absolutely and horrifyingly greedy.“I am so sorry.” Ricky apologizes but the more he says it the more it makes me angry.“Ricky! How could you so selfish?!” Gwyneth screams at him..“Of course!” I exclaimed. “Of course you would say it’s me! You freaking asshole!” I pressed my clenched fist against the center of my forehead. I groan in frustration and in anger because I want to hit this person so badly. I want to hurt him as hard as I ca
63M I L OEver since my argument with Gwyneth, we never really talked as much as we used to. I understand why she was feeling that way and I understand why she had avoided me since she hated what I have done. Of all people, I thought she would be the one who would understand me because she is my sibling, but then I was wrong.She made me feel even worst. I tried to understand where her anger was coming from and obviously, she was gutted that I said and did those things to Jolene. I know she could not believe me that I treated Jolene that way because she has always hated it when I do things that hurt women since I was brought up by women too.I wish my words could change anything to what she sees me now but then I know I can never take back the things I did and the things I said to her.Sometimes I wish she could have understood me and why I had to do it. The night before the band’s world tour started, someone came to my house late at night and rang the doorbell many times which woke
