93LINDY'S POV"Good morning my beautiful girlfriend.""Time to wake up sleeping beauty.""Wake up my love."I slowly opened my eyes when I heard Milo's raspy morning voice and his infectious dimpled smile that brightened up my morning instantly. I was on the bed with no clothes on while his white soft blanket was the only thing wrapped around me. He gave me butterfly kisses on my lips while he cupped both of my cheeks and it was something I would want to do with him forever. We both laughed in between his kisses and gave me a long passionate one that lasted longer than I thought. I hope I don't have morning breath because that would be so embarrassing hence his mouth smelled like mint. I sat on the bed while rubbing my eyes and seeing Milo wearing a black boxer brief, he gestured his hand to the tray of foods on the table just right beside the bed."I'm sure you're hungry because of last night." he asked.I held his cheek and kissed him again for the lovely breakfast he had prepared
94"Hey Milo where are you two going? The concert's about to start." Lucius called out."We'll be back soon." He yelled before closing the door behind us.He walked fast along the hallways and tried to look out for fans and paparazzi that may have entered or walked around the building. I followed him and his adorable ass as he was such a fast walker that I could barely catch up with him. Damn those long legs.Then I saw 5SOS walking around the building with some drinks in their hand and they glanced at us. Especially me. Oh my god. Oh my fucking God. Was that freaking Ashton? Holy Lord Luke looks damn fine! They were all super tall and super good-looking! I wonder if they knew about me and but I fangirled when I saw them.Finally, Milo opened a door and we entered this empty room which I think was another dressing room. He closed the door and locked it as soon as we got inside. We were the only ones here and I wonder what this man has in mind. "Why are we here?" I asked.But he didn'
95LINDY'S POVMinutes from now the concert is going to start and I was freaking excited. I just texted Milo that I finally got on the front row where me and Martha should be sitting down. This other guy who was from his security team led us there and told us to stay there until the concert finishes. As I looked around, the entire place was insanely packed! The fans filled the entire stadium and it was amazing to see such a place with such a massive amount of people. Fans were bringing huge banners, edited posters, bright glow sticks, and believe it or not some were even wearing wedding gowns and a few funnier costumes which I had no idea why. But as Martha said, the crazier the better because the boys will notice it. Martha was excited to see them even though she saw them backstage. This was our first Spitfire Strip concert together plus we were on the VVIP row. I know I was not a fan of these guys but they have awfully been nice to me all this time and I am here to show my support
96LINDY'S POVAfter that wonderful concert, Martha and I were about to head out but two guards grabbed us and told us that Spitfire Strip were waiting for us backstage. Martha chimed happily and started retouching her make up despite the blinding lights from the stage."We're going to the meet and greet Lindy!!" Martha exclaimed.I chuckle. "We've met them already Martha.""But it's still so gonna be awesome! Yey!!!" Martha chimes so happily.The two guards guided us but instead of lining us up on the meet and greet, they walked us back to the dressing room where Paul led us to earlier. "Where are they taking us?" Martha whispered to me."Beats me." I answered.One guard opened the door for us and we saw the Spitfire Strip boys inside this room. Martha kept grabbing my arm secretly. "Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh." she chants."Hey baby." Milo greeted me as soon as he saw me and wrapped his arms around my body."Hmmm... You still smell good." I tell him.I feel him kissing my h
97AVERY'S POVI walked my way to Starbucks with a smile on my beautiful face. Unlike Lindy, I walk with confidence and sexiness that makes all guys drool at me while they are looking my way. I am young and beautiful and I know I get males’ attention way too easily without even trying. Well I'm used to the attention but I love more attention. I was wearing something sexy for my date/ I pulled out my phone from my small purse as I saw a text from Milo.It wasn't really my phone. It was Lindy's stupid phone. She's just so stupid and so innocent. When you have evil minions like my cheering squad, it was so easy to take her ugly iPhone from her.Stupid Lindy.Stupid and pathetic Lindy.She thinks I still don't know about her relationship with Milo Beckett? After seeing her skyping with Spitfire Strip the other night?! And all those pictures that I just noticed that it was her from Milo's Twitter and Instagram? All his tweets were about her? And what Lucius tweeted a few weeks ago? That p
98All of us sat down and settled but I was uneasy. She was beside me and her eyes looked obviously happy. As the lads were ordering her hands were busy rubbing my thighs and her touches felt…Different.I pushed her hand away from my thigh and stared at her, “Not here Lindy.”“But I want to touch you.” She flirted.I shake my head and looked deep into her gray eyes, “We’re in public.”Lindy pulled her hands back away from me as the foods were served and we started eating. I study Lindy and there was something different about her. The looks, the way she dress, the attitude and everything about her was wrong. It felt so wrong and suspicious. "I can't believe this is happening. Oh my gosh." She blurted."So how was your experience at the front row for your first Spitfire Strip concert last night Lindy?" Jasper asked with a smile, feeling proud of what we all did."Front row?" she repeated."Yeah, you were at front row last night with Martha. Don't you remember honey?" I asked.She move
99LINDY'S POVIt's been morning and I haven't found my phone yet! I couldn't remember where I left it. I know Avery must have gotten it but I don't know how she did that. Martha even called the landline last night saying that she has warned Silas about Avery's physical changes. I sat down on the living room and turned on the TV. It was probably seven in the morning and I haven't had enough sleep looking for my phone. I even searched on Avery's room but it wasn't there and she didn't come home yet too.I'm so dead, if someone will find my phone because I have all their numbers and I don't want it to be leaked because of me. Oh my god and those photos I had with the guys and with Milo. Damn, I can't stop worrying about it and thinking about where I have left my phone and who could have gotten it. Their numbers are on my contacts and it's in their full name! I'm so dead! What if Avery is the one who's gonna find my phone?! Or... What if Avery really has my phone?Oh my goodness please
100He gave me some outfits to try on too but then I was too shy because the paps and the fans were outside the shops staring and taking photos of us. I didn’t want them to think that I wanted him to buy anything for me because money and fame were not the ones I saw from Milo .He pulled out his credit card and paid for everything that he bought. He bought some for me too and this lovely dress that I fell in love with which was worth $3,975 and I don’t know why a dress can be so expensive when it looks so ordinary. We drove somewhere again and I didn't know where we were heading to but I don't care where and how long it'll take as long as I'm with him. A part of me didn’t want to be away from him and a part of me was scared of how things will turn out now that we are dating in public and now that people know how I look. "Milo ?" I called out."Yeah?" his grip tightens but not hurting me. "I wonder what will happen to us now that we went on public."He holds my chin and smiled at me.
E P I L O G U E "Em, just stop screaming, please." Lindy begs. "Think of it as a vacation."VACATION?! Then why can not I use the private jet?! Why do I have to ride a plane in eco... e... Ugh! 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
