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?"

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.

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 would rather wait for you.” My lips were trembling as I watch him sing the words I wrote on his notebook.“Dont wanna feel another touch, don’t wanna start another fire. Don’t wanna know another kiss, baby unless they are your lips.” His voice shaking and getting raspier as he sings a higher note.“Don’t wanna give my heart away to another stranger or let another day begin. Won’t even let the sunlight in, no I’ll never love again.”He finally finished the song.The positive comments on Milo ’s live video were really overflowing and it’s absolutely insane how these people support their love for this man.

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.

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

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!

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.
