..........Rissa's pov........

In the cold night, my heart raced as things went by, cars, houses, people. A wish was enough to stop the holes being created in my heart. Mykel was right beside me but it still felt so far away..

It's like standing next to a riff.

The taxi stopped us before grandma's gates and we came out with drunk Alex. She couldn't even get on her feet.

I didn't know she reacted this way to alcohol. 

At least, Lucas was doing a good job holding her.

I reached into my purse to get some money so I could the taxi driver for the ride.

But, Lucas had already brought out some cash and so did Mykel...Geez!!!

"Don't worry, I'll...I'll handle it" I stated but Lucas scoffed.

"That's nonsense. Today was your graduation day - save it for college" He said giving the taxi man the money.

Mykel also stretched his hand gave it to the man who

    ...........Alex's pov......."Really???" I asked shutting my eyes in shame. I can't believe I humiliated myself last night after taking few shots of alcohol.Lucas was with me.He had brought me home after dropping Austin off at his mom's place."Yes, you kept dancing around like a some Egyptian goddess. You made us have a good laugh" He said, laughing afterwards."God! Remind me not to get too tipsy again" I hushed shaking my head."Sure, what are friends for? I'd exchange the drink with water..." He giggled and I chuckled."I have no problem with that!" I replied and raised my hands..We laughed for a long time before I realized mom's cars were still in the compound meaning she's around.I really need to see her!."I need to go in now" I muttered smiling."Yeah, sure. You need to get some sleep for tomorrow..." He cooed and I took

    ..........Rissa's pov.......Mykel and I headed to the cinema to watch a Korean movie. On the way, we came across some Koreans with pretty curly hair. They looked so cute and adorable.That made me think - what if I have a child with Mykel. What's the little angel going to look like??We paid for tickets and some popcorn before settling down somewhere secluded."Is it romance series?" I whispered to him and he shrugged his shoulders."I really don't know. It's been ages since I've been here" He replied cluelessly.I smiled and relaxed back on the chair and his wrapped an arm around me. I could sniff his nice scented cologne from how we cuddled.Suddenly, his phone started beeping just when the movie had began.He twitched a bit like he was never expecting a call. He slipped out his cool phone afterwards and glanced at the screen."W

    .......Rissa's pov........Mykel just stood still listening to the man speak. He really didn't say a word till he was done and walked away.Immediately he left, Mykel took my hand and started leading me out of the cinema.He looked a bit tensed up and just wanted to get out of the premises.We got to his car and entered quickly. I was still struggling with my seatbelt when he started the car and zoomed off."Is everything alright?" I asked staring at him."Yes...let's just get home first and do something fun, okay?" He asked and placed a quick kiss on my cheek.I chuckled and leaned back on the car.He's keeping a lot from me, I could feel It right from when he showed up at the auditorium yesterday for my graduation.He just won't say It unless I bugged him."Who's Mr Frosh?" I asked after a short silence and he glanced at me

    ........Alex's pov........I was on the bed next to mom who had just told me a story she read while I was away. I was starting to get sleepy since it was past my bedtime."...you should see what the doctor did to him. It was so bold and realistic" She remarked cheerfully."I'm glad you enjoyed the book, mom. I've never seen such an avid reader like you are" I chipped and she smiled."That's so sweet. I'll go join your father now. See you tomorrow, Alexandra" She whispered and kissed my forehead.She left the bed and walked out from the room.I smiled and snuggled under the thick duvet.Shoot! I forgot to tell mom about getting my graduation dress - I guess that'll be tomorrow.My phone started ringing shortly and I picked it up without glancing at the screen."Hey, Alex" Lucas said breezily and I heaved a deep sigh of

    ........Rissa's pov.......I looked up and spotted Mykel staring at me. He squirmed out of the bed and took slow steps towards me.When he had gotten close enough, he gently took the gun from me and stepped away."Mykel?" I called stopping him from moving further.I'm sure he knows how absurd this is - to find a gun In his drawer, next to his bed. Is he protecting himself against someone??"How did you get that?" I asked rubbing my hands together. The nervousness I felt was eating me alive."I got it from Mr Frosh. Birthday gift" He mumbled and tossed the gun on the bed.He turned around and sat next to it staring at me."You need It for your work, don't you?" I asked wryly and he let out a soft smile."Come sit down first, there's something I need to clear out..." He beckoned and I ambled towards him.I dropped next to him and I was moved

    .........Alex's pov........My eyes fluttered open due to the pecking noise I heard on the window glass. I left the bed moving feebly to it.Most times, I get sensitive while sleeping so I can't go back to bed with so much pecking going on.I pulled the window handles and found a little white bird there with a wrapped note attached to it.Aww! So cute and lovely.I carefully slipped out the note and read through it. This is from Lucas...A good morning message.I smiled.He's got a surprise for me too.What in the world could Lucas possibly give me in order for me to like him back? ........Rissa's pov.......He dropped the bottle on the table and took slow steps towards me."Good morning. I don't know about you but I...I couldn't sleep" He mumbled leaning against the table.

    ..........Leah's pov..........I panicked fervently as they started making phone calls.There's no doubt, I'm right!."Edward! There are spies out there. We need to leave this place!" I rasped, perplexed."What are you talking about? I didn't tell anyone we were coming to Korea so how is a plot possible???" He hooted."Will you stop protesting and move this car?!! Don't tell me, you don't value your life!" I blasted and he jerked away from his seat that he was leaning on. The moment he tried getting to the front seat, the men rushed towards us and had us surrounded.The door flung open and one of them raised his shirt coyly for us to see the gun there.It meant two things - don't panic and comply... ........Rissa's pov.......I ran after him as fast as my legs could go.

He whispered like he was short of words."You know what? Just take me home" I muttered and he flinched."Oh, come on, Alex. I'm doing all I can to show you that this feelings are not weak. They're strong and it's driving me crazy. I just want to be yours and you'd be mine" He said softly and I sighed."I've never had a boyfriend before, I don't...I don't know what to expect.

    ........Rissa's pov.......My Mykel is alive. He was awake, weak eyes by at least he was breathing and all bandaged.A tear slid from my cheek as he dropped his head sideways to we my face.I skimmed past the nurse and ran to him. With trembling arms and wobbly knees. I held his hand pathetically staring at him."They told me you wouldn't make it and that you had given up. I knew it's not possible..." I said exuberantly.He stared at me blankly like he couldn't understand what I had been saying."Why are you looking at me like that? Have you lost your memory??" I asked wide eyed and he chuckled."Rissa...I was shot on my chest not my head" He winced and I smiled warmly at him.The three nurses clustered behind me gazing at us. Mom and dad were at the door watching.

    .........Rissa's pov......He shook his head slowly like he was about to drop a bad news concerning Mykel."Well...unfortunately, i can't disclose what's wrong with him. He's really in a bad condition and we are yet to get through with him" He replied and I sucked in some air.He'll be fine, I'm sure."Although, I fear he won't make it, my dear" He added and my eyes flared in astonishment."Why do you say such??" I rasped as my ears perked up."He's loosing his breath. There's no doubt he's gonna give up soon. And there's nothing we can do about it. We'll just have to accept that the bullet tore him in half.." He informed and mom gasped.I slumped ruefully back on the bench hearing mom sob quietly. I was thrown speechless with what we had just uncovered about his health.He really wants to leave me, doesn't he?

My hands and dress was covered In blood and mom kept dragging me away while I tried holding on persistently.They're taking him away. To the emergency room of course but I still felt like a part of me was been ripped off despite my protests.He wasn't breathing! An alarm rang in my mind.My Mykel wasn't breathing when we arrived.Worry snaked through me as mom sat me down on a bench forcefully.I was barely able to breath with hot tears gathering beneath my eyeballs."Rissa! Look at you. You're covered in blood. What on earth are you doing in Korea???" She fired tapping her hands ruefully on the bench.She had gone on her knees in order for her to see my face since I was gawking at the floor."Mom---" I whispered, disintegrated."Whatever
