Chapter 28

Zoe relaxingly laid on the bed, resting her head while staring at the ceiling. If only things would've been different with both of them if only Arabella hadn't chased her in anger. Maybe they would have been doing just ok with each other.

Maybe she's the only one that's being dragged into the deepest pit of loneliness, maybe she is the only one struggling to climb herself up to the top. It hurts knowing she's taking all the struggles alone, little did she know that Arabella was going through tough times too.

If only she hadn't ignored her, they would've still been close, friends like they usually were.

A knock came on the door, jolting her from her thoughts of maybe and if only.

She wonders who it was because she hardly gets any visitors, she has no one to visit her anyways.

Opening the door, she was by the face of Luca's smiley face.

"Hi!" He waves cheerfully. Zoe frowned with thousands of questions running in her head.

What the fuck is he doing here? How did he even loca

    "Anywhere, so long as you don't get me pissed by meddling into my personal life " Zoe tells him straight to the face. He nods."So tell me, how good are you at singing?" Luca asked, raising the glass of water to his lips as he sipped on it as if sipping on a glass of wine."Don't know!" She tells nonchalantly.A smile spread on his lips staring at the all so busy lady before him. Of course, he knew it won't be easy to make her get used to him but he was willing to make it work either way."You're a singer!" He informs me. Zoe glares at him annoyingly."I know that ok, stop reminding me" she barks."Why not? You ought to know your worth and capability " he said over he voice, not knowing he was shouting.Zoe frowns in dissatisfaction, no one has ever dared to raise their voice at her. Not even her parents."Are we seriously doing this? In Fact, I'm done " She stood up from her seat, glared at him one last time and left. Luca stood there confused about what was going on. "Did I say

    Later that day, Luca had insisted on them doing something more lively and fun but Zoe had turned him down.It was a lot for her, she can't remember the last time she did tons of things in a day. Worse is, Luca can't keep his arms off her. Always uses the least opportunity he has to get her and it was so annoying."Please, please, please" Luca begs, putting on a pouting face."There is nothing you will say or do that will change my mind, scum" Zoe snorts, burying her hands into her pants as they walk down the street.It was dusk, but the city lights eliminate the place giving it a bright calm feeling."Ouch! That hurts" Luca clenches his chest, pretending to be hurt.A smile spreads on his lips as he stares at the girl next to him who looks so beautiful under the city light. Her fair skin glows with pride and her pointed nose left him gazing non-stop.This got him thinking about her, their first encounter. It was on a street almost like this but there was not much light to showcase her

    Luca was lost in thought, still trying to understand why Zoe looked so sad back in the theater. He could tell even though she hasn't told him anything that something is wrong."How was the movie?" He asked, gaze never leaving her face as he tried to capture her change of expression."Not bad, I like it" Zoe forced a smile. Not that she didn't enjoy the movie but it somehow reminded her of Arabella... As always, there is no her without Arabella."Sure?" Luca pressed on."Yeah, why? You think I didn't enjoy it?" Zoe asked with a slightly raised brow."No, not at all." Luca quickly denies it. He doesn't want to talk about it but no matter how he talked himself into letting go, he just couldn't.Silence reigns for seconds, and both consume their thoughts."It's quite late" Zoe murmurs. Luca responds with a hum."Seems like you love the song" He spoke out, changing the topic.Zoe frowns, "what song?" She asked. "The movie song" He further explains. He normally knows she likes the song but

    "It's past lunchtime," Ms Patricia said and glanced at the wall clock. Zoe didn't respond, she looked so immersed in what she was doing.Ms Patricia knew very well she wouldn't give a response so she decided to ask her directly, "Not hungry?" She leans back in her seat, waiting for her response."Huh? Well, I have" Zoe lie."Think before you lie young lady" She reminds Zoe she's not someone she can easily fool around."I was planning on getting something after practice" Zoe quickly said, not wanting to get scolded."Well, we are done for the day," Ms Patricia informs. So much as she wants her to be at her best, she can't ignore her health."With a great voice comes constant practice and good health, " she said.Zoe knew that was for her, so she quickly packs her things inside her bag and hangs them over her shoulder, "thanks for the day, guess I better go get something to eat" She smiles and hugs her."Hmm, go now before I lash out at you" Ms Patricia jokes and watches her leave."Don

    Later that day, Zoe was quietly sulking all by herself when a knock came, she ignored it at first but then the continuous banging got her irritated as she climbed off the bed and walked to the door.As soon as she opened the door, Luca's full view could be seen from the other side with a big smile staring back at her."Hi" he breathes out, unable to control his excitement. He could swear he has never felt this compelled to a lady...never before.The feeling he was having was heavenly and somewhere deep down, he doesn't wish for it to end. Little did he know beautiful things are always meant to get bad or broken in one way or the other.Zoe could feel her stomach boil in anger and hate but she didn't react, her gaze was dull and emotionless.Luca's smile died at her coldness towards him, "Are you ok?" He asked all concerned.Zoe didn't respond, her gaze on him was so intense but her eyes spoke more than she could voice out.Tears rolled down her cheeks, she didn't want to cry but she c

    "What do you want?" Rowan voiced with a slightly displeased face.Nora let out a hiss, sniffing on his chest down to his torso. "You shouldn't be asking," she stares at him while rolling her tongue on his belly button. "You know exactly what I want, I miss you Rowan" she cries out desperately."You know just how much I can do to get you, yet you keep your distance from me. It hurts, you know, I can't get enough of you all because of that so-called Arabella" She sounded jealous and angry."Shut your crab! Rowan yells angrily, his face says it all and more.Nora was stunned by his sudden burst of anger, she stared at him perplexed."I dare you to say that name" His tone was daring and aggressive."I'm sorry" Nora apologized in a soft whispering voice she knows she's angered him and she deserves to apologize.Not knowing why he suddenly got too furious at the mention of Arabella's name, she knew they must have a query or they are not on good terms.Her heart flutters at the thought she c

Her entire life she's been hoping on, dreaming and wishing it flourish with lots of love has crumbled to nothingness.Everything hurts, the man she thought was always by her side was nothing but a facade. He never loved her yet she did the undoable for him."Stupid, stupid Arabella!" She yells in anger and falls to the ground on the field with so much bitterness."How could you not see? How could I not see?" She asked no one, tears streaming down her cheeks endlessly."Why? Just why?" She yells again and slammed her hands on the ground."I don't want it anymore, it hurts ... So much" She keeps on crying to herself in regret.How could she not see through his facades? How could she be so blindly in love with him? How could she choose to pay deaf ears to everything only to be treated like she's worth nothing?She cries and calls out for help but no one shows up, and

    By the time Arabella stepped out of the bath Zoe had already set the table for dinner.She walks to the closet only to freeze on her spot, worried, Zoe asked"What's wrong?" She was concerned about seeing her posture.Arabella turns to her with a pitiful gaze, feeling embarrassed. "I... My dresses" she stutters.Zoe didn't need her to say another word as she could understand. Of course, Arabella stupidly took all her belongings to Rowan's place."It's ok" Zoe pushes herself off the bed and walks to her, she grabs a t-shirt from her closet and hands it to her, "you can have mine" she offers happily.Nothing is more satisfying than seeing Arabella in her clothes covered in her smell."Really?" Arabella asked, blinking at her."Of course, we are no newbies here." She forced the dress on her, "whatever belongs to me equally belongs to you" she assured.Arabella opened her mouth to speak but then, she was cut off."There are no exceptions" Zoe adds to make her point clear.Arabella couldn'

    "what are you thinking?" Zoe asked, walking out of the bath with a hand towel as she wiped on her hair."Nothing" Arabella denies, running her hands through her hair. She stood up and walked to the cupboard by the side, pulling out the hair dryer."Let me," Zoe offers, takes the hand dryer and starts to blow dry her hair."There is nothing to worry about, everything has been taken care of" Zoe assures.Silent engulfed the room for a few seconds before Arabella demanded, "Did Ms Amanda understand the situation?" She is worried they might be offended by their relationship."Hmmm, she is always understanding," Zoe explains.Arabella nodded but didn't say anything even though she so much wanted to.Zoe could tell from her look that something is eating her up, she spines the chair over making her face her completely."She is understanding as well, but not as forgiven as her aunt. I don't blame her, I'm pretty sure everyone in her shoes would do the same." Zoe starts."I hurt her, Zoe. " Ar

    "Why did you lie to her and make her believe she was the one you loved? Why did you do all those things only to let her down at the tail end? Why Zoe? " She yells, demanding an answer." I'm sorry aunt," Zoe said, tears running down her cheeks. She understands all that it means, the feeling of being lied to and she is more than sorry."I honestly thought I could keep her, that we could be something more but then, I realized I am not deserving of her love. " Zoe explains, "It was never my intention to hurt her, I swear, aunt, there has never been a thought in my head other than protecting her and taking care of her" she said with all honesty." Is that so? Why then did you hurt her this much? " Amanda demands furiously."The heart doesn't lie, you can be the judge of that yourself. I can't choose whom to love and neither can I tell my heart whom to beat for. I sincerely apologize for everything, most especially for toiling with your trust and love. I know how important Evie is to you,

    "I'm sorry for hurting you all these years, for judging you and leaving you when you needed me most" Arabella cries in pity."You did nothing wrong" Zoe tries to coax but Arabella is way too out of the league."No, I'm a bad person. I ignored your love for another, I bluntly hurt your feelings saying there will never be an Us. I caused you pain for years yet you never curse or judge me. I walk away from your life but you always stood by me and never made me feel less of the person I've always been to you" she explains in tears."You were doing just fine without me, so I was until I saw you after years of distance looking so happy with Evie. I didn't know why but I felt jealous, I felt hurt. Maybe I'm just selfish, maybe I just want everything for me" she cries."I never realized until I saw you two, just then I understood how egoist I am. Seeing you two made me feel things I've never felt before, not even for Rowan or Jack. I couldn't stand you two, that's why I left when you were sin

    The truth is always hard to accept, and difficult to come to terms with.Zoe thought she could make herself come to terms with the idea of wanting to move on but it turns out feelings are not just something one can erase.Realizing she can't live without her one true love, she decides to go for it, it's her last chance anyways.If she gets accepted, it'd be a miracle and if she gets rejected, it'll be no surprise though she will be hurt.On the other hand, Arabella lay back on the couch staring at the white ceiling above all lost in thought.Nothing had ever been the same ever since she left Zoe's apartment. She's lost everything, her fiance whom she thought loved her until it turned out the opposite and her best friend whom she has always ignored her love until things start streaming from within bringing weird feelings she's never thought she had.A knock came at the door pulling her off her thoughts, she frowned wondering who it might be.Deciding to see who it is, she carries her t

    Evie sits on the table not far from the door as her gaze stays fixed at the door. "You've been sitting there all day, why not take a break?" Amanda questions walking to the table."I don't want to" Evie denies, "she promised to be here today" she adds.Amanda sighs, taking the seat next to her, "what if she's tied up with something important? She can't just rush to you because of a mere promise" she explains.Evie didn't respond, her gaze never left the entrance. Zoe promised to come over and treat her to lunch and it's almost time she hasn't shown up yet." She's gonna make it" Evie grumbles in her stomach, not willing to accept something that might be so important to keep Zoe from fulfilling her promise." So positive "Amanda chuckles." Hmm, she will come," Evie repeats, with an optimistic face.Amanda stares at her for a long time before saying, "Why not try finding out what's keeping her rather than waiting? I'm so done with that face you have on" she grumbles and leaves.Evie

    It's been close to a week now and Arabella was still trying to accept herself and her mistakes. Like any other day, she was busy with work at the office while hoping the day runs off in a blink of an eye.But as it turns out, the day was against her wishes and hopes but she didn't let it get to her as she forces herself to work till there is no more strength left.It was around three in the afternoon when she decided to visit Jack, it has been a normal thing for her.She grabs her bag and carries herself out of the company, enters her car and quickly drives away.Her car slows down before a large building, and she steps out and walks in. There wasn't a doubt in her identity as she was quickly led to the elevator leading directly to the fifth floor where Jack's office is.She steps out of the elevator as soon as it stops, walks through the corridor and only stops when she is before his office door.She takes in a deep breath, calming her worried and anxious mind. There is no way she c

    Can you let go and see me instead? Can I be the one you see and want to be there with all the time? Can I?" Evie asked in tears, staring at the frozen Zoe."Of course, it's a no. I've known long enough and I wonder why it hurts" She turns and starts walking away."Why me? I can't be all you want" Zoe cries out, staring at Evie's excited back."I've never wanted you to be enough or perfect 'cause I neither am... I just want you to see me, accept me and love me... Is that too much to ask for?" Evie retorts."What if it doesn't work? What if we never get an Us in this?" Zoe wasn't sure of her feelings and desires and she was scared of hurting her.Evie turns around and takes counting strides toward Zoe. "Why not try and see if we are good or not? You never know what awaits us" Zoe had always known Evie to be an optimist but never would she have thought she would willingly throw herself for an experiment they both ain't sure of the end product." But it's ok, I get it... You don't wish t

    The entire room was engulfed in total silence, everyone staring, waiting for Zoe to start.Zoe glanced at Arabella before she locked gaze with Evie, the smile on Evie's face was enough to bring a simple and genuine smile to her lips.She turns her attention to the crowd, "hi" she speaks out unsure of what to say. "I-i am honored to be given a chance to sing to y'all, hope you enjoy the song".With that, she walks to where the piano lay, her long slender fingers dancing on the keys immersing the room with the sound of a beautiful melody as she sings.It was the song titled " Falling " by Harry Styles.It's been like forever since Arabella heard her best and childhood friend sing and hearing her now made her realize just how distant they've become.Without realizing it, tears rolled down her cheeks, she stayed glued to the girl on the stage. Her heart aches for unknown reasons and she can swear she never thought she'd feel this hurt.Usually, Zoe always stares at her while singing but i

    "more like Zoe" Arabella mutters under her breath, eyes glued to where Zoe stood."I guess your closeness is more than just a friend" Evie blurt without thinking."Excuse me!!" Arabella was taken aback by her questions.Evie clears her throat at the realization of what she might be thinking, "not like that, what I mean is, you guys look more like sisters than besties" she explains."Oh!" Arabella exclaimed with a sigh of relief, "You can say that our years of friendship define our bond." She gave a sweet smile.Evie returns the smile, "Right"."Here is your drink" Zoe spoke out, handing Evie a soft cocktail drink. "Simple non-alcoholic drink for a softy" she teased.Evie couldn't hold her blush, "I'm not that soft you know, " she complains."Says a baby" Zoe chuckles and sips down her drink.Arabella on the other hand silently watched them talk with an expression that couldn't be described."I'm not a baby!"
