33LINDY'S POVHe was also looking back at me. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't find the words because I was still shocked. I was quiet and he was just staring back at me We just stared at each other for a while as I was letting it sink in that the guy I have been talking with was Milo Beckett all along.I didn't know it was him. I didn't expect it was him. I mean of all people in the world, I swapped my iPhone with the world famous Milo Beckett. I was texting and calling Milo Beckett the whole week. It's him.

I just stand here staring at him in silence and admiring his handsome face. I have utterly gone speechless. God, why is he so beautiful?"It's fine." I finally blurted out.He pulled his beanie off and ran his fingers through his chestnut mop of curls like he's making a mess out of it.

I reasoned out as I hurriedly grabbed them and walked to the stairs."You have a very weird taste in fashion, you know that? A beanie? Who wears a fucking beanie?""Uhhh.. Milo Beckett?" I mumbled to myself."What did you say?" she snapped."I said... I thought you were coming home late?" "The girls weren't interested on going for a night out. Did you order pizza?

37I reached for her hand and held it while she looks back at me. Her lips parted like that looked tremendously amazing and dangerous. Her plump lips were luring me in to kiss her and I have been wanting to kiss her as much as I could. I licked my lips to wet them while watching her hair brush over her face and we were both silently staring at each other. I pushed some parts of her hair behind her ear as my fingers touch softly her cheek."You're so one of a kind." I tell her."I am. I’m the only Lindy Swanepoel you'll ever meet." she says jokingly while chuckling.I smiled at her while I kept holding her hand as I gently squeezed it a little. “You know what?”"What?"“I'm usually attracted to women with long blond hair.” I tell her an honest fact about me and I don’t know why I just said that when it would only mean to her that I was not attracted to her because she was a brunette. “But there’s something about that I just can’t explain.”Her brows knitted, “Is it a bad thing?”I shak

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

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.
