"You're..." He massaged his chiseled jawline while thinking of how to describe my look.
I was wearing a sleeveless aqua green dress. It stayed above my knees, while I clutched the sling bag on my left shoulder. There were no details on the dress, just plain. I paired it with my flats because I don't like heels.
I also braided my hair like a crown because I felt like doing so. Well, the real reason was I wanted to highlight the necklace Zack gave me.
He told me we're going to some fancy place which apparently was one of their 5-star hotels.

Save me from this broken heart, all my love will slowly fade away"Zee Katie," My mother yelled as soon as she reached me standing in the garden. "What was that? Don't you know how rude it was in front of your future in-laws?!" The veins in her temple were showing as she clenched her teeth.My parents came back from Singapore together with my grandmother. It was my first time meeting her since my mother never talked about her family after she left home. I never thought I would meet her and not even in a blink of an eye, I thought about having Aae as my fiance.Uh, they were talking about the wedding dates a while ago. They didn't even bother asking about my opinion.

That I can live without you, but without you, I'll be miserable at bestI heard a slow clap after reaching the edge of the pool. I immediately removed my goggles and I saw Coach extending his hands on me."Coach," I greeted. I grabbed his hand as he pulled me. I removed my swim cap and let my hair on loose. "I guess this will be the last time," I said, trying to hide my sadness.I bowed down with a wide smile on my face upon saying, "Thank you for everything, Coach."I heard him chuckle as he pats my shoulder. He lifted my head and placed his hand on both of my arms. "I'm so proud of you, Zee. Thank you for being a great student.""I'll miss you, Coach. I'll miss everything," I wipe the shot of liquid that is trying to leave my eyes."You are making me cry, Zamora. Come here," he hugs me. "You are always welcome to visit me here. Okay?"I nodded upon leaving his hug. "Thank you," I repeated again.

The event coordinator asked while sipping on her tea.I looked at her and saw the irritation in her face before checking my leather watch. It's already seven in the evening. I picked up my phone on the side of my hot chocolate and checked for a reply. I even restarted my phone thinking the signal might be poor. Though deep down, I know she's not answering my calls."She's on her way. She has a lot of work to do in the hospital," I lied. I don't even know what she was doing, but it might be true considering she's on duty."I see. It must be hard to be a doctor," she replied as she placed back the cup of tea on the table. She took the magazine on her hand before glancing at me. "I can wait for half an hour but if she isn't here yet-""Sorry, I'm late." Her sweet voice made us turn. She was gasping for air as she smiled at us. She bent a little to remove the cushion on

V.Voice crying loud, I've been crying for days now and as I start to run, I stop to breathe."Who is he?"His voice made me stopped what I was supposed to do. I placed the lap harp on the side table before facing him. He played with his black penlight as he leaned on the glass window adjacent to the patient's bed.I furrowed my brows. "Didn't you read the patient's name, Lauyton?" He was a friend from college and a resident like me. I became close to him because of Gab. He was Gab's ex-fiancee."Zendaya, Zack Jersey Mendoza." He stared with annoyance in his face though he was wearing a mask. "I'm jealous."I managed to crack a laugh that didn't reach my eyes. "Why would Lauyton Diem Elarde be jealous of him?" I looked at Zack.I watched the beat of his heart on the monitor screen before moving my eyes to the ICP monitor that indicated his minimal brain activity. If this will continue, he might fall into a vegetative state. I'm hoping it would not result in that."You don't even know

Y.You were the greatest thing that ever happened to meI was never a morning person. I always hated waking up in the morning. But if I would wake up next to Zack, with his arms embracing me while the sun rose from the sea, that's another story I would like to read every moment of every day."If luck is on my side tonight, my clumsy tongue will make it right and wrists that touch," he whispered right through my ears as he hugged me from behind.I caressed his left forearm as he circled it around my neck. "It isn't much, but it's enough to form imaginary lines." Zack continued singing. I couldn't hide my smile, and the butterflies were circling my stomach.The dawn was already fading as the skies turned into pink with a touch of golden rays. I closed my eyes upon feeling its warmth.

Z.I sniffed the chocolate scent as soon as I entered my room, so I wasn't shocked to see Aae sitting comfortably on my couch. He was staring at the glass wall beside my bed. He was probably watching the starry sky as he slowly tossed the hardball, or he was just spacing out."Why didn't you run away?" He caught the ball midair and placed it back on my side shelf. It was the ball my brother used to play baseball with Zack."What are you doing in my room?" I scoffed. "There's a saying that the groom and the bride shouldn't see each other before the wedding.""Don't even think about it." He stood up. "The wedding will happen, and this time you know it's for real." He tilted his head as he scanned me. "I was surprised Zack didn't think about-""I didn't accept his proposal." I cut him off. I don't want to think about it because I was too tired of crying. I just want to lay down on my bed. "I'm going to sleep, so would you mind leaving my room?""Why?""It's our wedding. Do you want my mo

Miserable at Best (The End)I was already at the door when Gab called me. I turned my back and saw her smiling with tears in her eyes. She immediately hugged me."I hated Aae, but what he did today." She lost her words. So did I.I have no words to describe what he did for me. It was beyond what I expected.I somehow hated him.I hated him because he sacrificed himself for my happiness. I hated him because a part of me wanted to stay, yet I know that the love I have for him would never complete us.I hated him for ruining the wedding. I hated him for creating chaos between our families and the audiences. I hated him for making me a runaway bride. I would probably be the headline on the business page tomorrow, but who cares?I hated him. I hated him for everything. But, when I looked at him standing at the altar with a smile on his face, I lost the hatred in my heart.I realized that no matter how much I hated him, I hated myself more than him. I hated myself for not being able to give b
