It's been five weeks since we asked Madielaine to stay at Kyle's house.I explained everything to Kyle and he understood Madielaine's situation.We cared for Madielaine together and sometimes I pissed on him because he was really so clingy.Suddenly he hugs me or squeezes my cheek which I'm not used to. He's really something.It wasn't difficult for me to go to the house where Madielaine was staying because I had a reason to say. We're having a practice which is not true.Zyke has moved the practice since we're complete and we don't have to worry anymore.Now this coming December is our practice, My birth Month.I'm not really excited. I'm used to celebrate with my self for the past 3 years.One and a half months we will be practicing because we won't be busy in the coming January, maybe in February we will be very busy because we are grad
[VERONICA'S POV] I was in the room with my friends; Maeji, Cherry, Jazel, Laira and Shanley. Maeji, Cherry and Jazel were 4 years older than us but we still treat them like we're on the same age. They are here at home now because I got bored so I decided to have a sleepover and Night swimming with them. "Ate Mary and I live here at home. If you see her, be good to her, but I think you won't see her. She rarely comes out of the room." I told them, I don't want to get into trouble,I know them. If they will not treat Mary goodly I will be the one who will scolded. "Really? We can invite her over" Jazel said with full of excitement. "Yeah sure but I don't think you'll like that idea" I said while arranging what I will wear tonight. "What do you mean?" Cherry said laughing and came closer
[VERONICA] “What the heck Nica! Stop what you’re doing!” Maeji shouted at me so I anxiously stopped. I was biting my fingernail because of nervousness. This is what I do whenever I'm nervous, anxious or scared. I hope nothing happened to Ate Mary. It was just a prank, I didn’t know she would drown totally. I couldn’t get close to Daddy in his seat. I knew he’s mad, he was still in police uniform and on his way home but what he found was Ate Mary drowning. “You shouldn’t have do that Maeji” I told her while crying. She then looked at me surprisingly. Yes, I'm the one who plan that but they should have stop me right? “Excuse me? It was your idea you should blame yourself” She commented. We were the only two who came because I really insisted. I'm t
[MARY] “What are you doing here?” I asked them when Nica and her friends finally leave. “Are you okay?” I looked at him in disbelief. Seriously? He’s asking me like that? “What kind of question is that Zyke?” Wayne said sarcastically he looked annoyed. I remain silent. Seconds later I speak. “Let’s try it with you then I’ll ask you if you’re okay” I sarcastically said to him. I’m not really feeling well. My head still hurts. “I’m sorry, I mean about Nica” He said so I understood now. I never thought Nica would think that of me.She’s too kind to do that but I guess even the kindest person can do bad things. “Be honest with me, do you guys hate me? Tell me, So that I can get away while it’s still early, I won’t be surprised if you’re just stabbing me in the back” I said seriously as they looked at each other, their foreheads furrowed. “Mary you are the only one who has been true to me, I consider you my
Chapter 18: Pj “Ohh! Oh! Oh hey! I don’t wanna kshdheisjsnjakskllJab ey ey is somebody to you!” They were singing. And I don’t understand their lyrics. I covered my ears because of the loudness of their voices. They played loud music but I don’t know the lyrics that they were muttering. “Please! My eardrums are broken!” Ashley said laughing. They were really loud. I regret letting them come with me. Ashley is on the window side while Zyke is in the other window. I’m between them. Kyle and Wayne are in the front seat and I don’t think they will last three hours together on the flight the fact that the two are like cats. We used Kyle’s car because he insisted he was also the one who drove. He is got his license cause he already in legal age. So no worries. After the song, slow music played. I sighed a relief. They are really loud. A police could arrest us if they continue doing a loud noise.
Chapter 19: The reason why she left “Philip?” I said out of shocked as I saw my childhood friend laughing with Zyke and Kyle. I almost forgot that we’re three. Julia, Philip and I were childhood besties. I’m still guilty of leaving him without a word. “Madison?” He was shocked to see me. Seconds later I found myself hugging him. I was speechless. I don’t know what to tell him. I had a feeling that he’s mad at me. “Can we eat first? I’m really hungry” I just realized when Kyle grabbed my hand and I followed him like a fool. We circled the round table and I followed as I watched Philip’s every move. He prepares the cutlery and glasses. I just noticed that this house didn’t even have a dust or stain, It is well care. “During the days when you weren’t here, I came here every day just in case you came back” I could no longer taste the food because of the twitter. Maybe my friends are wondering too because of him.
Chapter 20: A sudden confession“So are we just going to stare at each other?” I can’t help but to sound bitter. After crying we decided to go here to our old placed where we used to hangout.The vast field as we leaned against a large tree. When we were young we always played here.“Sorry Mary” She said with a teary eyes.“I want a complete Jul” I beg her as I held her hand.She deeply sighed before uttering the words that made me freeze.“They’ll kill you if I don’t do that to you …” She started crying again. Why does it feel like I’m in danger.“Who are they?” I confusedly asked her.“You see … your family is rich” I frowned at what he said. We’re not rich, we’re not poor either.“How did you say that? What do you mean?” Astonished I asked him. He smirked before looking at me seri
Chapter 21: Her answerI woke up when I felt a faint tap on my shoulder.I opened my eyes and felt like I didn’t want to wake up. I’m still sleepy.“It’s six o’clock Mary we need to leave” Ashley said. I finally opened my eyes and realized that she was dressed while I was still messing up my hair.“All right I’ll just change my clothes” I said softly, I waited for her to leave before I stood up. My eyes were still wide open when I stood up.I handed my bag and went straight inside the comfort room. I just had a half bath cause I couldn’t handle the coldness of the water. I’m still cold.On the way down I caught up with Zyke and Philip who were already preparing food.“Let’s eat first” Zyke whispered.We ate together and I felt something was wrong. They are all quiet. Which I’m not used to.After this meal, I went to their school; Ph
EPILOGUE They said, when it comes to family you will do everything. Even if it costs your life … “How did they escape ?!” Most of us were upset because of the news we received from the police. I was suddenly nervous, I still remember their faces looking at me madly. “When they were taken hostage, sir, but don’t worry, the checkpoint has already set up all possible routes” said a man in an all black suit. “Kids go back to your room and as long as you can don’t leave each other” said Tito Jayson. We followed what he said. We entered the room together. Nica, Julia, Ashley, Zyke, Pj, Kyle and Wayne are with me now in the same room. Suddenly the rain got heavier so my fear increased. Nica and I are now in bed together and just sitting. Even they I can see the fear on the face. I know the Dela Torre are gone now but I shouldn’t underestimate their ability to threaten us. “I forgot something in the room

After his 2 weeks day off Grandpa invited him for our family vacation and our friends were there.“Ma’am and Sir are ready” one of our maids said that. After so many tough days we need this. A vitamin sea.Nature is also a good treatment for human health so Mom and Dad need it.“Where are your friends Mary?” Grandpa asked.“They’re already outside, I’ll just go” I said while smiling. He then Nodded.I GOT OUT and four cars popped up in front of me and one of them was a familiar car. I frowned as I approached that car.I knocked on the window and it went down and Kyle’s face opened up to me. I was surprised and I didn’t know what I would react but I suddenly smiled.“Your Grandfather invited me, if it’s okay with you” He said. Wayn
Chapter 59: Live your life[KYLE’S POINT OF VEIW]“Where is he?” The guard pointed to the fourth tables so I nodded and went there. I was roaming my sight around. And this place was filled of criminals, some may be only blamed by something that they didn’t really do intentionally.I sat in front of him and he was like downing his head off me.“Tito” I said softly. He slowly lifted his head on me.“What are you doing here Kyle?”“I wanted to visit you” I said. He avoided my eyes.“I only want the best for you, I’m sorry if I failed you.” He said. I smiled at him sincerely.“Tito, I know your intentions towards me. And I’m very thankful that I have you. I promise that I will work hard and I will get you out of here ” He then smiled at me. He patted my head like I’m a dog.“You don’t have to. Criminals like us m
Chapter 58 Permission to love“Wayne! Why are we here?” I Anxiously said. We stopped right here in front of his house.Apart from the fact that I haven’t met his parents yet, I also can’t enter his house without a companion — specifically my friends.Because I might be a statue here when I’m so quiet.His siblings are still teasing me. Maybe they haven’t forgotten what happened months ago!“They want to meet you, Mary” he said. He was looking straight into my eyes.“But I’m scared!” I still insist. I saw him laugh.“So you know how it feels” I scolded him. He held my hand.“Trust me okay? They are kind and I will not let you feel out of place here” he said. I couldn’t do anything when I saw that one of his brothers, the man, had come out.I went down as well. I awkwardly smiled at his brother.“Hello”
Chapter 57: Something Special One month later… “Are you ready?” I nodded mutely then I faced him. I smiled as I walked closer to him. “Why do you want to come with us?” Tito Jayson asked. I was hesitant to answer. “Maybe, I wanted to know the reason or I want to hear them apologize” I said. I’m also confused, I just really want to see them locked up. “Let’s go” I followed them. Lolo and Tito Jayson and I are going to the Jail where the Dela Torre are locked up. My Mom and Dad are still in the process of recovering. The Dela Torre inflicted too much trauma on them. But thankfully day by day they became stronger and better. I got in the car. I just stared out the window watching the other cars. I was just quiet when we arrived. I don’t know what will happen but I just hope I don’t get too angry. They are also just victims of bad luck, they were blinded by money so it happened. But…
