After Sage and I had dinner, I went upstairs. Earlier, his bandmates came home and they didn't have dinner here so I didn't have to lock myself in the room to eat there.

I took a nightgown out of the cabinet and went into the bathroom. I was immersed in the bath tub while thinking about what Luke had said. Will he also do something in Manila? So what? And why do we have to be together when I can do it myself?

Why is he able to act normally and seem like nothing? Has he forgotten what he did to me? Then I don't. Because every time I close my eyes I see his puffy eyes staring at me. I could hear his low and baritone voice meeting my hearing. I could feel his warm and soft lips on my ear. Fuck, that doesn't seem to get out of my mind!

Then he's just nothing? Looks like he didn't beat me up ?! I gasped and irritably buried my shoulders in the water. I don't want to see him. Just thinking that I can go with him on the trip makes me anxious. I’ve been restless lately because of overthinking

    I was wide awake last night, I think I fell asleep at two o'clock and woke up at four o'clock because of our early trip. So when we were on the plane, I couldn't help but fall asleep. I just woke up when I heard PA so I frowned and opened my eyes.I saw the back of the flight passenger seat in front of my seat. I closed my eyes again because of the weight of my eyes. I adjusted the incline of my right cheek and became comfortable there again. The window is on my left and my right is— what the fuck!I quickly opened my eyes and got up from the incline. My vision rotated for a moment because of the speed with which I was moving. I turned to Luke who was looking at me in astonishment. All this time I fell asleep on his shoulder ?! Putangina ?!"Why are you so shocked there?" He seemed to have no question while holding a magazine.My annoyance did not subside and it only increased the thought of me leaning on him! Embarrassing and annoying! I guess I was so awake I didn't realize I did th

    I woke up early because my body was used to that time during school hours. At six o'clock my eyes were awake but I did not get up. I was just stunned at the window covered by a thick and red curtain. Because of that it seemed dark inside my room even though the sun was shining outside.I don’t know if it will be midnight, or really midnight that I slept last night because I was restless. After Luke's answer to me, I stopped talking and turned my back on him.I approached the sleeping mother Ida and tried to get her to sleep so that she would be comfortable here on the sofa. He told me that he would sleep here so that Luke could use the room. That was another one of our long arguments but in the end I did nothing either.Luke soon went inside. When he saw that I was having a hard time getting along with my mother, he approached me."Why is she sleeping here?" He asked as he approached.I deliberately stepped aside to avoid because I was still confused by how I felt before and until now

    It's one o'clock in the morning. I was wearing a black hoodie and black pants. Both of my hands were slid into its pockets and both were tightly clasped. The hood covered my head as I stood inside an old warehouse.Here I am at the place Benj said where the customer will meet me. I haven't done this in a long time, I told Benj before that I don't want to because I'm scared.We quarreled and I thought we had agreed to stop together, but he asked me earlier that I would deliver it here because he was already hot on the authorities. It was there that I realized he hadn’t even stopped.It was frustrating to know that, but my love for him still prevailed. Eventually I just tried to understand his reason.I hope this is the last time we do this, we talked before I left that it would never happen again and I would just do it to help her study. He needs to pay as much as tuition for the next sem. We were both in senior high school and just minors.I really didn't want to participate in this a

    "I don't fucking want to be inside the same room with that asshole. I'm leaving," I said and withdrew my own hand held by Luke.Luke turned to me and frowned, "Do you know him?" He asked me."No—""Yes," Benjie and I answered simultaneously. Seeing him right now makes me want to crample his face in my hands. Annoying."What's the matter? What happened— Benjie, why is there blood on your lips?" Sister came out of the room we had come from earlier and I heard her approaching us now.It was only then that I noticed that there was blood on Benjie's lip so I smiled a little. He quickly wiped you and forced a smile to dispel the embarrassment."This is nothing, sister, I have some food for the children." He replied frowning at me. He's doing charity? Are you Benjie? The fuck?"Oh, thank you very much son," when the nun approached, Benjie immediately nodded so my forehead wrinkled even more, what the fuck is happening?"God have mercy .. by the way, this Sadie used to be from here and she br

    Speechless.That's the only word I could use to describe how I am feeling right now. Looking at the majestic scenery of the People's Park in the Sky, I could only part my lips open and lay my eyes softly at the incomprehensibly beautiful view.The air is unbelievably fresh and cold, very contradicting to what it's normally like in the Philippines. There's only a few people around the area that are like me, silently appreciating the view.After minutes, Luke came beside me holding a stripe red and white blanket. I looked at him softly when he knelt down to spread the blanket over the grassy hill.When he finished setting up, he sat down at the right side and tapped the left side of him to offer me a seat. I stared at the vacant place next to him and wondered why is he doing this.He came to Makati with me, escorted me to the orphanage, defended me against Benjie, accompanied me to a restaurant with a fake engagement to get a pair of free desert, and then took me here. Why on earth .. d

    Ray? .. I think I already heard that name before .. who is she?"Hey babe!"To my surprise, a man suddenly appeared from my left. He leaned over me and grinned like a dog. Even his face was like a chinese crested. When I recovered from the shock I remained seated and raised an eyebrow at him."Are you alone?" He asked like a fool. Based on his tone, it was obviously drunk. I really hate drunk people who can't get a hold of themselves. Annoying.I picked up Luke and I's cellphones and held them tightly. It's hard. When I didn't answer him he laughed softly as if insulting me. That's it. That is exactly what I want to convey.He grabbed what was in his pocket and showed it to me. It's a red key card of I think, one of the rooms here. I looked at him reluctantly and it didn't take long either because his face was nauseating. I got up and turned my back on him but my eyes widened when he pulled my jacket from behind!"'Don't be rude! I'm still talking to you—"I quickly confronted him and

    "For real?" I asked because I couldn't believe that Sage and Luke actually met because Sage was flirting with Luke's teacher! Oh my God.He just nodded and grinned slightly as he set aside the canned beer that he must have consumed. We have been here for almost an hour and a half in one of the Picnic Grove cottages. We are satisfied with the beautiful view of Taal.Actually, there is a lot to do here. There are eco trails, horseback riding, zipline and cables rides but we preferred to relax here in the cottage for the song he would do. The earlier about the song we talked about now turned out to be how they met his band."I'm only friends with Ricci because he's a family friend and we go to the same school. You know San Carlos?" He asked.I nodded. That school is big and beautiful, but LCIU is even more prestigious because it is for students from different countries."She 'young though, 20 maybe? Sage was 16 and they don't belong to the same school since Sage goes to LCIU back then. H

    "If you were given a chance to change your past, would you change it?" Luke asked as he bowed to me.We are now lying here on the bed of my room. He finally canceled his room on the other side because he said we were going home today and he would never go back there.After we .. what .. kiss in the car, we quickly came back here to get dressed. He was even a little angry because he thought I might get sick. Corny. Fortunately, we were able to buy clothes last night.He was lying facing the ceiling while I was lying on his arm. The weirdness of my position because I was facing him and he was holding my hand resting on his stomach."Sadie,"It was only then that I returned to trance. To my surprise I looked up at him when he called me. I didn't notice I was already spacing out while we were talking here."Hmm?" I reply.She sighed. "Right now .. you have millions in your pocket. Don't you want to heal your scar?" He asked who was able to stop me.He's right. I have millions, my family h

    THE WEDDINGThe words ‘I can’t believe it’s happening’ are scratching, but that’s how I really feel.Holding a pile of Gladiolus flowers in my hand I quietly waited outside the church. I no longer bowed to my glittering wedding gown, because the glitter of my eyes made me feel dizzy. I was contemplating with myself if I should grit my teeth or tighten my grip on the flowers. I'm so nervous and happy.I was standing behind the church's huge door with sister Celine and brother Loren. They were quietly looking at me, checking if I'm all done or there's anything I need."Just shut up you both." I told them because I'm already so nervous and I couldn't manage to dive in their conversation.They both laughed and ate Celine hugged me."I'm so happy for you, Sadie .."I smiled and let her. "Thank you .."And just when the wedding coordinator signaled us that the door's about to open, ate Celine let go of me and fixed my vail."This is it," she whispered enthusiastically.I nodded and inhaled

    "Motherfucker! Look what you did, you monster! You're worse than an animal, Raysita! How can you kill people ?! How can you do that to her, huh ?!" In my anger, I could no longer control myself when I strangled him. I could see the fear in his eyes as he looked at me."I-I-" He couldn't speak anymore because of the excessive stress of my strangulation on him. My eyesight darkened because I no longer needed evidence to prove that he also killed Sadie's father. He himself!"I'm gonna kill you with my own two hands, you devil-" I released him when a hard object hit my head. All went black after that. I just woke up unable to move my legs because they were full of blood. I saw my knees almost wrecked and my mom with blood on her face.My eyes widened. "Ma!" I called her but she won't respond. I was nervous about what had happened to him. Our hands were tied and I think they were slapping my knees so I couldn’t escape. I close my eyes in pain when I try to move you."If I were you, I would

    Hello! This is the Epilogue. Thank you for being with me through thick and thin! I will end this story with a sound heart thanks to all of you. Let's all be a scar carved beautifully on someone's memory! You can play the instrumental background of beautiful scars above for better reading.—————"AAAAAAAAAA I LOVE YOU LUKE!""OH MY GSH! LUKE, MY SON!""WE LOVE YOU LUUUUUUUUKE!"I smirked upon hearing hours but remained composed to not mess up. I am already so nervous about singing this song in public for the first time alone, I can't fuck it up."So .. I'll have a solo number for tonight. This song is for those who feel burdened and chased by their past. For those scars that haven't been healed, for those misplaced hatred you shed to yourself." I licked my lips. Wherever you are, this song is for you, babe. I hope you come back very soon. I've been waiting, dreaming about seeing you so soon.I closed my eyes as I strum my guitar before singing the first verse of the song I made for her

    3 YEARS LATERMy eyes slowly went down to search for Moli's wrists. I smiled seeing her, again, smooth and spotless skin. I can't help but to feel proud with the fact that I made that. I was able to successfully remove her scars as my specialty.It was understandable that she wanted to get rid of them, since it reminds her of how much she wanted to end her life back then, and I'm happy I took part to help her bring that genuine smile back on her lips again."Baby, look, mom is here .."I looked down at the boy with him. She gently held the little girl's delicate hands, and when her eyes went to me, she smiled in an instant. My heart pounded."Mother!" The three year old beautiful girl excitedly went to me.I crouched and bent my knees enough to level her head. He ran quickly and greeted me with a hug."Hey, Micah," I greeted and caressed her back.When he left he looked at me with a smile. "We're waiting for daddy ..." he explained.I raised an eyebrow and ruffled her hair. I turned t

    I was right. It was awkward when older brother Larry went out of the limousine to open my door. Now, all the other people outside are gawking at me. Even my dress is not suitable in this place!Some officers guarding the jail came out. They would have almost saluted if they hadn't seen me right away. Surprise filled their faces and I was even surprised when the bodyguards followed me. I look even more like the first lady of the country!The guards automatically scattered themselves to cover my space. As a result, people drifted away and became more and more curious. Even though I wanted to be ashamed of my scar, I just walked in high up."G-good morning, ma'am, who are they?" Asked a policeman. He even glanced at my tattoo. I looked at him."I'm here to visit someone. Where should I log?" I asked coldly.Their eyes widened and they immediately searched the logbook somewhere. When they found it another pounded it before giving it to me."B-ballpen! Ballpen speed!""Here's a ballpen!"I

    Cw: Physical harm.A hot tear escaped from my right eye as I shut it closed. Luke .. I'm so sorry ..I forced myself to stay awake. I know I can stay conscious. It's not that fast to lose consciousness if chloroform is the cause. I just let my eyes close because that was a headache. Stunning.I frowned and moaned softly. Right, my phone! I strained to open my eyes and reached for my bag. I still can't get up. I feel very heavy in my head and body. Even so, I frowned as I pulled out my bag. I need to call anyone to get myself out of here. I won't let him just get it!I opened the zipper and inserted my hand. I was searching for my phone without looking at it when a harsh bump from the back made the car almost fly!"Ah!" I screamed as I fell to the backseat floor. My head hit the floor of the car and it hurt even more."Putangina, who is this ?!" I heard Benjie's salt and he forced the car to start again.I can no longer paint my face. Holding my head, I forced myself to get up. Whoever

    I woke up with Luke next to me. Since I didn’t close the balcony curtain, light from the sunlight entered us.I can already hear the violent crash of the waves on the beach. My body was still weakening when I realized we were both hugging. My cheeks immediately warmed up when I remembered what happened last night.I almost squeezed my face into his chest out of embarrassment. Did I really .. initiated it? And I even threatened to call Vincent last night just so he would agree! Oh my God, I even confessed that I missed him! I closed my eyes tightly and squeezed him. He hugged me tightly and moaned softly.I stopped moving so he wouldn't wake up. I grabbed the comforter and lifted it slightly to peek at our bodies. He's on his boxer shorts and I'm already wearing a white laced panty. My forehead furrowed because I don't remember wearing it last night.I was so tired of the four rounds we did. And he's not really tired! I even had to beg him to stop because I'm already sore with all the

    Matured content ahead, read at your own risk. With so much heat and shame I was feeling, I couldn’t say goodbye when I ran out of there. I went down to the second floor and was about to go straight to my room when I realized that Luke might just go there and I had no choice but to let him in from the bathroom or the balcony. Argh. I went down to the first floor and came to the quiet living room. Sister Celine and brother Loren are already in the room, as is their son. It's getting early and the maids are definitely resting. I slowly exited the rest house and surveyed the dark sea. I took a deep breath and walked towards it. There are no people and maybe they won't come down here because of too much drunkenness. I swallowed and slowly took off my white t-shirt. I also took off my shorts and removed the pinch of my hair. I stored my undresses on the side of the beach that would not be wet. I looked out at the sea and was no longer afraid to go down. When the cold water hit my feet, m

    The wedding was held in a private open space in Seda Lio, a five-star luxury hotel here in El Nido. For an atheist like me .. this is my second time attending a catholic wedding. Not bad. Nothing offensive.It's only now that I realize that all the guests and their coordinators stayed here except us because we were there at Lea's rest house.Lea's rest house is more comfy and more open to the beach, while this hotel screams luxury and class. I arched my brow as I scanned the couple on the stage made altar.Now that I saw Tatiana again, I immediately recognized her. She really is a supermodel. I used to see him often in magazines and billboards in Australia, even in the Philippines. She is always on the runway and fashion shows of well -known luxury brands.

She's tall, very white and all her curves in their right places. I he
