I was showed around the university and I ended up getting more eager to enroll here since it has been my dream to study in Harvard. Mrs. Perkins, the one who was giving me the tour on the first day, told me that Harvard would be very happy to have me because of my outstanding achievements and grades in school. I was delighted to hear such comment and even told me that Harvard has an outstanding record of students getting highest awards and grades in the bar exam from this institution.In the middle of August, I flew to Stanford and was very much welcomed wonderfully. The faculty and the students who were handling the tour were very much of help. They really catered to my questions in a friendly way and was able to show me the best parts of their school.

133LINDY’S POVOCTOBER 31, 2015Martha and I had the busiest day ever getting ready for the Halloween Dance. We went out early getting our nails done, our hairs treated in salons, had facials and foot spas and bought a few accessories to complete our look. I managed to get my Belle dress inspired by Emma Watson’s look from the laundry shop with Martha and we bought heels that matches our costume which were on sale. We went to her house and got ourselves ready in there since she had fancier make up than me in her bedroom. Martha was much more excited than me for the Halloween Dance and I am happy to be doing this with her before we go separate ways in college. I will be busier in school and so will she. I wanted to do something fun with her and I cannot wait to go all out tonight. Martha was doing my make up and I told her I wanted something not too much to which she disagreed because she emphasized that I needed to look extra special tonight. Once she was done with my make up, I wa
134LINDY’S POVMartha rushes to my side, “What are you standing there? C’mon and join me!”I smile as I let her drag me back to the crowd where we joined the rest of the students who were all admiring Spitfire Strip singing on stage. The spotlight were Spitfire Strip won the stage and all students had their phones out ready to film them sing. The song started right away on Lucius’ cue as the piano begin to play the intro for My One And Only.“It took one look,” Rowan’s angelic voice fills the entire ballroom and how it gives me goosebumps hearing it. “And forever lay out in front of me,”“One smile, then I died,” Lucius smiles at the crowd. “Only to be revived by you,”“There I was, I thought I had everything figured out," Rowan sings Milo’s part instead and he’s literally killing the lyrics in his Zorro costume. “Goes to show just how much I know 'bout the way life plays out,""I take one step away,” Lucius continues the rest of the chorus which made the entire crowd intensely qui
135I smile at him sheepishly as Jasper begins to cheer so loud which was followed by the others who were here. When my moment with Milo finished, he went up on stage and joined the other lads while they began to sing their last song for the night, Steal My Girl which sounded perfect as the girls sang along while I enjoyed the whole night in the audience with Martha. Avery was pissed the entire time she saw the whole thing and left the venue angrily. She didn’t matter anymore because she had always been so selfish all this time and I am glad that she knows why she can never take Milo from me or any of this. I am glad that she now realizes that I have always been the better twin in terms of academic and attitude.I danced with Milo in the middle of the dance floor as we swayed to Will Post’s song which was Wonderlust and I didn’t want to let go of this man standing right in front of me. His hands and arms wrapped my body and I loved how he held me close to his body while we were slow
136LINDY’S POVThe next morning, I headed to my parents’ house with Milo because he insisted of wanting to talk to my parents formally to ask their permission to date me again. I told him it was unnecessary but since he insisted, I agreed to it anyways. I texted my mom and told her that we will be having dinner at home and how excited she was when she knew Milo was going to join us.For the rest of the morning, Milo and I went around Canada as I did him a little tour around the city since we never really got the chance to do it before. I showed him around to some of the popular tourist spots in here while the paps were tailing us the entire day. We were stopped by a few fans who wanted to ask his picture and he was kind enough to agree.The whole day I spent with Milo was fun even though there were a lot of people in the places we went to who were taking photos of him without his consent. He told me that I should not be bothered about it because he is used to it but then I think it i
137MILO’S POVA week had passed since I got back with Lindy and the lads and I flew back to England since we needed to get busy doing promotions for our movie, On The Road Again: Backstage Access. We did a few photo shoots too and some interviews for some magazines. There were tons of radio shows and TV guestings that we needed to do before the premier night on the 20th of November. We were all super excited for the release of the movie and cannot wait to let the fans see how the movie turned out. The movie was seriously studied and well planned by the lads and I with the whole crew who did the movie. They were very hands on and patient in handling this with us though we were five lads who’s always monkeying around on the set. As for Lindy, she has been preparing to start her college life in Yale in a few weeks. She was nervous about the whole college transition thing and pretty much very excited for everything to begin. She has been going around the new city with her mother and fa
138MILO'S POVWhen we finished with the tour, I was happy seeing her enjoying the place that means a lot to me. We quickly rushed to this show where the lads and I were invited to be in. I had all time I needed and even if this was a long day, I was so happy spending so much time with her like I have never been before. As soon as we got backstage where the lads were, I started getting ready for another interview. Clothes, hair and shoes. Done.I walked back to my lovely girlfriend who was enjoying a good talk with Rowan and Silas. Lucius and Jasper were still busy getting ready."Tired baby?" I asked her."No. Not at all." she smiles at me. “I should ask you that. You didn’t tell me you were going to have an interview. We could have canceled the tour.”I smile back, “It’s okay babe. What did you guys talk about?”"Lindy was just telling us her experience touring around London." Silas exclaimed."She sounded like she loved it and she enjoyed it that much." Rowan added."I did! Oh my

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
