JUNO'S point of viewThe following day, we were shocked to see the flat tires of his car in the parking lot. Not just one, but all of them! Which makes it obvious that somebody purposely ruined his car so we wouldn't be able to leave.I held on his arm, feeling even more scared. When my eyes darted around the are, my heart raced nervously when I saw Mike looking at us from afar. A satisfied smirk was on his face. I glared at him, letting him know that we're aware that he's the one who did this. He left after that, leaving me seething on our feet."What are we gonna do now, babe? Do you know how to fix tires?""I know but I only have one spare in the trunk. Maybe let's ask Gerard if there's a nearby car repair shop here?"I nodded as we sluggishly walked back to the house with our luggage."What happened? Did you two left anything in your room?" Matilda inquired when we stepped back inside the house. I sighed wearily, scratching the si
JUNO'S point of viewThe beach house was made in bamboos and woods which made it easier for the fire to spread all over the house. I coughed out loud as the smoke grew thicker inside the room, my eyes getting blurry as they sting so bad from the rising temperature.I reached for the doorknob and flinched when I felt it scorching against my palm. I felt like crying 'cause I'm running out of hope that I'll make it out alive.Where is Jupiter? Where is everyone? Matilda and Gerard? Why didn't they knock on my door when the fire isn't severe yet? I could already hear the woods breaking down from the other side of this door. I hurried towards the luggage and pulled out a thick shirt. I wrapped it around my hand before I marched back to the door to twist the doorknob open. I succeeded in doing so.But the hellish fire that greeted me as soon as I opened the door would be a lot challenging to escape. I bit my bottom lip as I felt my body trembled anxious
Third Person's point of viewThe wind by the beach side blew harder which added more fuel to the fire. Jupiter's heart hammered loudly against his chest as he felt the threatening tears peeking through the sides of his eyes. He tried to dial his girlfriend's number once again but this time, it was sent to voicemail. Unlike earlier where it was still ringing."Please! Let me in. My girlfriend is inside. Please! I need to help her out," he almost begged to the firemen circling the beach house's perimeter. "Sir, please. Step to the side. We are not allowed to let you in unless the fire is completely out. Let us do everything that we can to stop this fire."He glared at the man in uniform. "And what, huh?! Let my girlfriend suffocate to death? Or... or let her d-die into ashes? Nobody is doing anything to save her! All of you are fucking cowards!""Jupiter," a hand pulled him by the shoulder. "Calm down, dude. They're planning to get inside but the fire's growing bigger. They need to me
Third Person's point of viewJuno sat back down on the heated mattress, totally hopeless as the fire began tearing down the walls of the room they were staying at. She whimpered fearfully, tears cascading down her cheeks.She had turned off her phone after firmly telling Jupiter not to risk his life to save her. It's the rightful thing to do instead of endangering both of their lives.Juno rose up from the bed and made her way to the comfort room. Every single steps felt hot against the skin of her toes. The flipflops was useless as it wasn't enough to protect her delicate feet from the burning heat. She quickly turned on the two faucets inside the bathroom, hoping that the tiny amount of water would prolong her life. She washed her face and exhaled painfully. The intoxicating smell of smoke had infiltrated her nostrils and it hurts like hell! It was difficult to breath for her.She then stepped under the shower and let her body soaked in the water. The temperature inside the room ke
Third Person's point of viewTwo days after the fire, another sad news struck the beach of La Paz. Four dead bodies was found floating on the island nearby. One of the bodies was identified to be Gerard. Unfortunately, the authorities found their boat and it was reported to be damaged. Juno wiped her tears as she watched the reporter on the television narrate the tragic story. At least now, she's a bit relieved to know that Matilda didn't leave the world on her own. And Gerard didn't have to suffer in loneliness."They are indeed soulmates," Jupiter whispered to her ear and she nodded in agreement.She's finally out of the hospital and back to her house. Since then, Jupiter haven't leave her side yet. "Indeed. Their story would make a great romance novel."Jupiter chuckled and kissed her on the cheek. "I bet they will. And you'll be a great immortal character in a book."Juno laughed at his joke. "Well what can I say? I'm the main character. Nobody can defeat me.""Anyway, the girls
JUNO'S point of viewI rolled on the bed and yawned in contentment when I felt my boyfriend's warm body beside me. I could already feel the irritating heat of the sunlight piercing through the windows of my bedroom as I forgot to cover them with my curtains.My eyes then fluttered open and a smile break free from my lips when I was met by the beautiful tattoo on his upper arm. His skin has finally healed and I could perfectly see the art on its final form now. It's pretty! And it's me!I leaned in closer and placed a chaste kiss on the beautiful symbol of his love for me. I heard him groaned. And few seconds later, his yes fluttered open, quickly searching for my presence.I smiled widely at him and touched his face, caressing his cheek gently. "Good morning, baby. What do you want for breakfast?""Oh, wow." He rasped, chuckling silently. "My baby's gonna cook for me? Is this a miracle?""I'm very good in cooking, for your information! It was you who forced me to stay away in the kitc
Third Person's point of viewVenus made a reservation in a nearby shopping mall and the girls were all excited since Jupiter lended his card to the women as a treat. They were already listing down the things they'll be buying to drain his card. Juno would like to shop some clothes and Venus insisted that they get everything from a branded designer shop. She was hesitant though and didn't want to abuse his generosity."Idiot. It's what you deserve after he baited you multiple times to the grim reaper," Monica smirked through the huge mirror while they were all seated in the salon, having their hairs treated nicely. Venus laughed out loud and agreed. "He practically made you his bullet proof vest everytime an enemy is on attack. You shouldn't be doing that for free, honey."Juno rolled her eyes, her lips curving upwards at their jokes."But are you sure you want to stick around him, Juno?" Monica cocked her brows. "I'm just saying... you're safer without him.""I hate to admit it but
Third Person’s point of view The living was already out of lights when Juno arrived home. The only light eliminating the ground floor of her house was the tiny bulbs perching on the hallways. Her lip’s pursed as she struggled to carry the fancy paper bags in her hand. Her eyes then darted on the long stair case she’d have to climb up to get in her bedroom. She rolled her eyes and sighed in tiredness. Maybe she’d just leave them on the couch and get them back in the morning. Juno bent down and removed the killer heels she was wearing. She then sulk on the couch to massage her aching feet. A pleasured groan escaped her lips as her feet were finally freed from the goddamn pumps that tortured her the whole day. Finally! She thought to herself. Next time, she’ll remember not to wear such shoes if she’ll be hanging out with Venus. Or will there ever be a next time since today’s events somehow served as a warning to her. “It’s eight in the evening. Where have you been?” Juno nearly ju
