"Liam...?"
"Liam...?!"
I remembered waking up that morning to an empty bed. Nothing but quietness surrounding me and the empty mattress on his side. Liam was gone. He had disappeared without a trace and not even a small note was left for me on the nightstand.
I started to panic. I quickly got out of bed and started searching everywhere. Everywhere he could go, anywhere that was within a walking distance from our room. I went out and stood in the middle of the empty hallway. I looked around and not a single person could be spotted.
"Mrs. Luciano?"
Turning around, when my eyes met with Travis, I heaved a big brea

Stepping inside Liam's bedroom, my eyes gawked at the sight before me. Everything looked out of place. Almost, unfamiliar. It would definitely take me some time to get use to seeing my stuffs in his room. But as of now, I had much more important things to worry about.I sat down on the sofa at the foot of the bed and took out my phone from my pocket. I switched it on and waited for the lock screen to come on display. When it did, my jaw dropped in complete surprise.42 missed calls75 unread text messagesMy notification history showed. I rubbed my eye with the back of my hand just to make sure I saw the number right and the next thing I did was quickly dialing Mama's number then pre

After about two and a half hours of driving around the city, we managed to find me a new skirt. The one appropriate enough to wear to school and to which satisfied Liam's big ego.From the tailor shop to my school, it was another fifteen minutes drive. So by the time, Liam dropped me off, it was already our lunch break. His expensive car pulled up the parking lot right in front of the school and I furiously unbuckled myself from the seat. Liam placed his hand on my thigh, giving it a light squeeze."Today is my last day, Liam." I groaned at him.He, in return, didn't say anything but leaned in and kissed me on the mouth. The kiss was gentle and clearly, affection."I am sorry." He mumbled, his warm breathing brushing against my lips.

"You know, this is where I'd tell you I've told you so but I won't, because Ididactuallyalreadytell you so." The first thing I heard sliding into the passenger seat of Liam's car was his sister complaining.Through the rearview mirror, I saw Alisha nudging Penelope with her elbow and Giovanna's nostril flared at them."Is this a part of your plan?" She stared at them, suspiciously."Of course, not! How would I know he is going to want to come with us? It's not like I live in his head or something!" Alisha hissed and everyone shut up the second the door to the driver's seat was open.Looking over my shoulders, I saw Alisha squealed quietly into her hands and Giovanna gave her a dirty look.

My heart was thudding inside of my chest as I made my way down the hallway and straight to the entrance door. I didn't know for how long had I disappeared into the garden and found Xavier but I guessed it had been over an hour or possibly two since everyone looked pretty much wasted and the room was only left with half of the populations as there were before. I looked around, trying to spot Giovanna and any of the girls but I couldn't find them. "London?" I heard a soft voice called and slowly, turned around. "Helena." I breathed out, feeling relief washed over me. At least, there was somebody around here that I knew. "Oh my god. Everyone has been looking for you!" She said lowly as if she was afraid someone would hear us. She pul

Turning on the faucet, I bent over the bathroom sink and splashed cold water on my face. I rinsed my mouth and brushed my teeth, perhaps for the thousandth time that morning. Oral hygiene wasn't my main concern at this point but rather the weird taste that lingered in my mouth right after vomiting. If i didn't quickly get rid of it, I would be kneeling by the toilet bowl in no time.After I finished brushing my teeth, I gargled a strong minty mouthwash to get rid of the smelly odour. But at the end, nothing helped. Absolutely nothing at all seemed to cure my sickness for the past couple of days and my mind was starting to race like a roller coaster ride going up and down hills,in the dark.Slowly and carefully, I looked up to my reflection in the mirror and I shook my head in frustration. I lookedwrecked. C

He loves her.From the way he was touching her face, fondling with her hand in his lap, and feeding her sweets with his other free hand, I couldn't help it but felt envy. It was weird because I didn't even know them to begin with. We just happened to sit in the same cafe, at the exact same time of the day and I was just a stranger, stupidly gawking at them like I got no life of my own.As of now, there were only me and that lovely couple sitting in the shop. And, as sweet as a cup of hot cocoa in my hand tasted, I was pretty certain it got nothing on their relationship. He looked at her like she was the most precious gift he had ever been given and she looked at him like he was the only thing that mattered. They were so consumed by each other's companies that they failed to recognize my stare. However, the person who had been s

It was supposed to be a great day. The day started off with a perfectly good morning, following a lovely afternoon, but somehow ended with an empty evening. I felt nothing but emptiness the second we got back to the limo. I kicked off my heels and rubbed my sore feet together while resting my head back before it involuntarily bounced up again at the sound of the car door being swung open. It was my parents and my three brothers hopping in.On the way here, I rode in this limo with Giovanna but on my way back, Mrs. Luciano suggested that I should spend the very last bit of the time I had with my parents since I hardly paid a visit to their place now. Also, apart from making me share the ride with them, she also invited everyone in my family over for some sorts of a celebration dinner she claimed with be the perfect way to end the day. It all sounded fun at first, but as the day went by, I

There was a thin line between the feeling of love and hatred. My connection with Liam dwelled somewhere in between both.For the longest period of time, I'd thought I missed him. That I was using Xavier, my family, Giovanna to help me get over the thoughts of him for a while, and when he decided to return, we would find a way to work things out somehow. As usual.But the longer he made me wait for him, the continuation of getting let down by someone you cared so much about was transmitting my desperation into an anger. I tried to ignore it. I tried to ignorehim.Then, out of nowhere, he decided to make his return.Without a word being given, without a notice, he just popped up out of nowhere and acted as if we were neve

What even is the definition of friends?I was asking myself that while we were on our way back home from the hospital. After almost two weeks of complete isolation from society and being in close contact with doctors and nurses every day, I was finally set free. Not entirely though. The doctor had ordered complete bed rest for the next few days for me, or until our family doctor viewed I was healthy enough to get back out there again. She said I should always be in bed, even while I was having a meal.The fact that I couldn't move a lot, let alone go places had somehow ended up bringing me closer to Liam than we had ever been. For the last few days, I was staying at the hospital, he was with me. He slept over. We ate together. We watched T.V. together and he would rub my back or feet until I fell asleep every night a

Like music to my ears, his heartbeat softly echoed off the walls in perfect harmonies. His eyes were closed, face looking serene as ever while his tiny body floated endlessly in my womb."Perfectly healthy, Mrs. Luciano." The doctor said as she pointed with her finger towards the monitor of the ultrasound machine.My chest puffed, proudly. Bobbing my head in pure satisfaction, I flashed her a warm smile back.He's beautiful.Gorgeous.In a way that no word in a vocabulary could narrate. By just witnessing his existence through the monitoring screen, the overwhelming love I felt towards him was truly priceless."Is everything alright, Mrs. Luciano?"

The next morning I wake up feeling fresh. Last night. Oh, last night. I literally had the best time of my life. So much food came in and out of my room nonstop upon his request. We were watching Masterchef on netflix and every time I mentioned about how delicious and tasty those foods they were cooking look, Liam sent someone out, looking for the exact same dish for me in all the restaurants around town. We ubereat-ed too. Like a lot. I felt almost like a princess. It was so much more fun watching a cooking show and being able to taste all the foods similar to what they were making rather than just sitting there and starved yourself to death at midnight.I was stuffing my face with a bowl of arugula and shrimp salad when the door suddenly burst open."Good mor- What the hell is going on in here?!"

[LONDON P.O.V.]"You can have any girls in this world. Get with them. Play with them. Break their hearts. I don't care. But her. She is mybest friend."It was the next day in the morning. Early in the morning. How did I know? I hadn't even opened my eyes yet but I could feel a warm bright sunlight shining through the window, heathing up my skin.For the second time, in a subdued voice, almost a whisper, the person hissed."Why does it have to be her?"I did not need to open my eyes to guess who she was. I recognized her voice, possibly within the first two seconds I heard it."Trust

[THIRD PERSON P.O.V.]Like a thunder, he entered the room, seizing every breath and attentions to be turned directly in his way as they should.Six men seated across the long table in Yusuf Luciano's office glanced up in awe. Their eyes locked on their one and onlybossin unison,"I need a word with you...inprivate."Yusuf's pulse skittered. He watched unbelievably as every one of his minion co-workers stumbled out of his office as per his son's request. They knew better than to define him. Even Yusuf himself was getting more and more intimidated by Liam these days."Son."

I am sorry.His soft half-broken apology rung in my ears. It had been over fifteen minutes now since we last said anything to each other before the doctor came in, disrupting our conversation by requesting a moment in private with Liam.I wasn't sure as to whether or not I should be thankful for him for saving my butt from what could have been a very awkward encounter, or should I get mad at him for interrupting such a potentially heartfelt moment between the two of us. Anyways, my heart ached for the poor man.An expression of pure horror gripped his face, yet his gestures remained stoic and professional. I watched carefully as Doctor Gideon continued to express his concerns over my case with Liam who in return, was giving him his full attention. His eyebrows d

Would you do it?If your best friend asked you for a favor, would you do it?I guessed the answers could be varied and by varying, I mean it had to do with lots of things. Lots of facts. The task they asked you to accomplish. The situation you both were in, and the most importantly who that person was.When Luke asked me for a favor, I couldn't help but say yes to him. Did I regret it? It was still too fast to tell. But given the situation I was in, I couldn't afford losing another person in my life who actually gave aneffabout me.With Luke in the picture, I definitely felt much better and safer now. Apart from Giovanna, he was this other person who had always been looking out for me,

All I heard was a strange sound. An odd static noise followed by tiny beeps as myself was slowly coming back. My eyes felt abnormally heavy, but not too heavy that it would be impossible to lift them open. My body jolted like it was awakened from death, raising from out of the tomb in which it had been buried. I groaned in pain, feeling my stiff muscles and tendons stretched underneath the thin covers. My chest rose on heavy, rasping breaths and I opened my eyes to an unnervingly white, clean ceiling above me.So calm. So peaceful. Airy and neat. It was then when I was vaguely aware that I was lying on a hospital bed and likewise, the tears started to fall again."Thank God." I heard a strong, steady voice mumbling from beside me then a comforting pair of arms wrapped themselves around my trembling body.

There was a strange feeling erupting in my guts. Like suddenly, my stomach fell into a knot and my chest clenched tight. I couldn't begin to explain how weird every organs felt inside my body. I just knew everything at the moment felt wrong. I couldn't move, nor speak. The only thing I could do and had been doing for the past several seconds was staring straight into his expressionless face.As if what happened tonight wasn't delusional enough already, standing in front of me, in the flesh, alive and breathing was Xavier.Yes. The same Xavier whom I once mistook as my friend, and spent a great amount of time hanging around without knowing every words that came off of his mouth was based on a lie.One big fat filthy lie.
