I woke up in my own room. It was bright in the room not like I was used to. The curtain was open, and so was the light. I noticed the oxygen pump sitting on the bedside table. I frowned and tried to remember what had happened before I fainted.When I remembered to admit that Luke and I had a relationship, I immediately closed my eyes. My head still hurts and my body is broken. Now I felt all the tired, awake, and hungry of the past few days as if I was being punished. I feel like I struggled. I'm very tired.With the extra weight of my eyelids, I was able to close my eyes again and fall asleep. I only woke up when I felt my stomach growl. I rubbed my eyes still painfully. There I noticed that my skin was warm. I tried to rub my neck and forehead to make sure I was really sick. I gasped when I realized I had a fever.Even though I can’t see myself my eyes are definitely swollen because they are heavy. I struggled to stand up and noticed the water bottle on the bedside table. I picked i
"Call me if you need anything. I'll send someone there, please come back when you're completely fine."I broke away from older brother Loren's hug and nodded. I can no longer feel anything. I can't even cry anymore. I also didn’t complain when I found out he was driving Luke to La Cuevas heights. That’s the name of the villa they live in Luke. Because of the rudeness of Ray's reception of us the other night, Aunt Celine immediately issued a notice to dismiss them. After all, Eleanor has the largest shares and investments of all the high end villas here in La Cuevas.Our departure was supposed to be at the end of the month, but in just two days, we were at the airport and flying to Australia."I will miss you .." Lea couldn't hide her sobs. He quickly hugged me. "Please take care of your self .. don't think about him na, he's not worth it!" She cried on my shoulder.I did not answer. I'm too tired. I don’t even feel anything other than tired. It is true that when your emotions are exha
"Are you okay?"I parted my lips open to answer Lea beside me, but my eyes were fixed to Luke who's walking away from the stage now. I'm supposed to respond, but couldn't process the right words. He's holding his guitar as he walked quickly to the backstage as if he's running out of time."Gosh! Will that be released ?!""OMG SHE'S SOLO !!!""Is it Sage ?!""Nice !! I didn't quite understand but nice!""Noise, pota!"The crowed was still loud, they were screaming and talking about the new song he just played. They were praising his voice, guitar skills, emotions and of course, visual.I gulped and inhaled deeply before turning to Lea who's now looking at me with worried eyes. I smiled and gave her a reassuring look."Excuse me, I think I need to go to the rest room." I said and glanced at Gavin who's watching us beside his girlfriend."I can come with you, so you don't get lost—"I held her shoulder and shook my head, "It's fine, really. I'm also gonna make some calls." I will excuse
Beat.My heart was pounding non -stop as I watched his chest. My eyes trembled as I struggled to study every corner of his scar-like tattoo here. I don't care if he would think I'm weird or what, but I am certain that he made this look like mine-- no, he copied my scar!Why? why would a person with an already perfect skin want to ruin himself? What is so special about my scar that he imitated it ?! is he mocking me? is this his way of reminding me about my past? so that when I come back here I won't forget what happened to me before? If so, he is very insignificant!When he noticed that I was staring at his chest for a few seconds, he woke up and covered his tattoo with one of his hands. I looked up at him and frowned when I met his eyes that seemed caught.He still held out one hand to me to offer the towel. I blew a sarcastic breath before no one looked as I pulled on my cardigan and there wiped my wet hand."No, thanks. I got myself." I uttered.He once blinked and silently watched
"I'm sorry .. I noticed it too late, I should've known sooner."She shook slowly and sniffed softly as she bent down and played with her nails."You don't have to be sorry, I know you're also recovering. Lea told me everything. I was so shocked when I heard that you flew to Australia because of him--""It's not just entirely because of him." I corrected.She looked up at me and smiled bitterly."See? You've got a lot of burdens too. If you're sorting them out alone, then I should fix mine by myself as well." She reasoned out.I heaved a sigh and transfixed my gaze in front. We are still here at the cemetery and we decided to talk about it. It's a good thing that the sun isn't that well up so the atmosphere is quite balanced."You're wrong." I said. "I may have wanted to fix myself alone, but I couldn't deny that I also needed some help at that moment. I wasn't alone, Moli. I got professional help from a friend, and I must say .. it was effective. The process was confusing and boring,
It was dinner time and I was in the kitchen to watch the maids cook with one of our chefs, when I heard older brother Loren’s familiar bugatti.I turned to the living room and greeted our family chef before leaving. I walked into the living room and secretly smiled as Kuya and his family got out of the car.He handed Guancio the car key so he could park it in our garage. They walked in as I folded my arms and watched them approach.When my older brother saw me, I smiled sparingly at him. He looks so hot with his navy bue polo shirt paired with black pants. His luxury watch also made itself noticeable for me.I did the same when my sister Celine and I met eyes. She's wearing a white short sleeved blouse and black trousers. She's holding a black Hermes bag, and hanging on her arm, is her black coat. She looks so cool and intimidating wearing her usual office attire. She smiled at me and walked elegantly as they entered inside the mansion."There's your aunt Sadie," Kuya Loren gestured m
"I was about to call you later .." I said as I got away from the table. I went to the kitchen because there is also a door here to get out of the garden and pool area."Hmm? Why?""I have a favor to ask. By the way, do you need anything?" I asked because I know he wouldn't call for nothing. I folded my arms and waited for him to answer."No .. nothing. I just called to inform you that I'm going back to the Philippines .."My eyes rolled and I was immediately excited. "Oh my God, when ?!" My question was full of joy. "Does Aunt Celine know? I'm with them now, and she didn't tell me,"I heard him laugh on the other line. "Not yet, you're the first one I called."I raised an eyebrow. "So you're going home? You're leaving Patricia there?" There is doubt in my tone."H-hm. That's where I'll continue my residency.""Why?""What, why?""Are you going to leave Pat?" I will ask.It was a long time before he could answer. "No."I took a deep breath and a smile slowly faded from my lips. "So you
"Go away," I whispered to my older brother because I could hardly breathe with the number of people who wanted to squeeze into our band.We've been sitting here at the medic station for a few minutes, I'm the only doctor here, neither nurses nor volunteers are there. The older brother said that it was still two hours before the red cross requested by the Mayor arrived because they were not from Cebu.I gasped because older brother Sage didn't want to leave me. I already told him that I'm fine here alone, it's even more bothersome that he's here because people are crowding and shouting just to get close to him. Even though we have guards blocking, they are obviously having a hard time controlling people, especially women."Who's with you here?" He is justified.I turned to him, "Why? Did I come to watch over you? I'm here to volunteer. You, go straight to where the bands should be. The influx of people here only adds to the heat. Maybe it can also cause people complications.
