Chapter 7

The worst part of being an orphan is when you suddenly feel sick and there would be nobody to take care of you, no one to nurse you, check your temperature and make you soup. Thirteen years of being an orphan, and I should get used to this type of circumstances but as I walked up to the receptionist, grimacing because the movement worsened the pain on my lower right abdomen, I felt so lost and envied the people who had a family to take care of them. 

Twenty minutes passed, The nausea returned but I took a breath and waited for Dr Michael to call me. Ethan's text distracted me from my distressed condition, I rolled my eyes at his dramatic text asking me Why I wasn't at school and another ping of a mochi with an arrow in the heart.

    Chapter 9Mr Young walked ahead of me carrying the bags of groceries and medicine bags that we brought on our way earlier. My twenty-five years old landlord greeted our cat and rubbed his fur gently, which is a sight to behold. Mr Young and my beloved son together was something I didn't want to change. I knew whatever we had right was nothing permanent but I could allow myself to enjoy the moment which was what I always did.“Meet your mama, Bibi.” Mr Young announced. I chortled and moseyed my way towards them taking Bibi from him.“I was planning to murder you if he went dissapearing.” I teased with a serious face.

    Chapter 10I walked into detention that following afternoon. While Mr Young might have been unhappy with me for disrupting his classes, Why was I the only one who got detention and not Ethan who was the main culprit?It wasn't fair, My first detention had to be given by my favourite teacher!I settled on the farthest corner of the classroom because Lord knows Mr Young's close proximity is something I couldn't handle. He appeared three minutes later after I had settled on the chair comfortably.I put on my earphones and pretended to get lost in the music and started doing my homework, failing miserably. I could feel his eyes on me and I looked up.“Why are you sitting there? It’s just the two of

    Chapter 11Come morning, the humiliation I felt was still fresh and I cringed every time I recalled how rudely I was rejected by Mr Young. Literature class is just a step away and with a last minute decision, I texted Ethan and pivoted my heels towards the opposite direction of the literature class. I knew I was being a coward, an oddball but getting rejected does that to you. Don't try this at home.Ethan appeared five minutes later, he was grinning with mischief like cutting classes were the most adventurous thing I had ever done.“Wow! Miss Green cutting classes!?” he exclaimed mockingly.“Don’t make me regret this. I

    Chapter 12My breath caught in my throat with Mr Young's words, the way he was staring into my soul like we were feeling and experiencing the same emotions making my knees buckled and my resolve weakening, I was sure that he felt the same thing until some emotions crossed over his face and then he step back, putting a decent distance between us.And I knew that whatever moment we had a few seconds ago was buried under his pretense of nothingness, like he hadn't just told me that I made him crazy. But crazy in what sense? He's making me crazy too.“Get back to your class” he dismisses, without looking at me.“Mr Young” He looked up, the look on his face showed despair and anger. It made me

Added to that, Aunt Shirley new’s of Mark's arrival made me want to howl and cry for many hours. Aunt Shirley heels clicked on the marbled floor as she walked ahead of me, assessing the rows of clothes with her keen eyes. Her way of visiting me is normally taking me shopping and stocking my fridge with heavy loads of healthy foods and fruits. Aunt Shirley loved me in her own ways although the two of us are both bad in expressing what we felt for each other.

    Chapter 14Mr Young sprang away from me like he had been burnt which would have been amusing if not for Aunt watching us in a very suspicious way, with her brow arched and lips tugging up slightly.“I thought you went for dessert so I was thinking of helping you. Pardon me dear!” says aunt,fanning her face with her hands, dramatically.“I’ll be right there.” I informed, Blushing and not meeting her eyes. She barks out a loud laugh like she was so proud of what she had witnessed.When she left, tension filled the air. The moments which we had just a moment ago disappeared and all that was left was the after effect which might I add is filled with awkwardness

    Chapter 15Mark disappeared inside my apartment, leaving his shoes scattered on the doorstep. My initial plan was to let him crash on the guestroom but at this rate, Bibi deserves the guest room while I lock him in a cage so that he won't make my things messy and ughly. The nerve of that guy!“Chloe, Where is my room?” He reappeared dressed in his sweatpants and white blue t-shirt. I didn't miss the way he wore his socks in summer.“Aren’t you Hungry? I could make something.” I offered. He scoffed and peered behind me seemingly communicating with a spirit on the doorway.“You looked mad. Is it because of my shoes?” There was a proud look on his face like he

    Epilogue 5 years later I made my way towards the big flat where my best friend lives with his many girlfriends. I am almost scared of walking into his expensive suite because I haven't had any good experience before since Ethan is a manwhore. At twenty three, he slept with several girls every week and often made them run away crying when he refused to see them for the second time. Today, though it felt different, there were no girls, instead the whole band was present. Blissful music with Ethan, Oliver, Jack, Brandy and Sebastian are now one of the most famous boy bands in the city. I hardly see them because they are always on tour. The only person who always called me daily is Ethan because he liked to annoy me. &n

    Chapter 34Sebastian and I had the best dinner. Our date first started off with good food which was quite satisfying. He's one of the best guys from our school. Proper and polite, never saying things that would offend someone. He's the best boyfriend one could ever wish for but he's not for me. Here's why: The moment he drives away from my apartment, all I want to do is run back and cancel our date, Mr Young solely the reason. I kept on picturing his sad, teary face. I couldn't focus on the date.“I had a great time tonight Sebastian. Thanks for taking me out” I unbuckled my seatbelt, and opened the car door.“My pleasure. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do” he says.&ldq

Grace is in my apartment and she's helping me get ready for my date with Sebastian. Turns out that Grace is a fun person to hang out with. She's a cat person like me, she loves reading and thinks Mr Young is hot. We have a lot in common.“It feels weird though. I mean Sebastian is my friend” I told her honestly.“He’s not asking you to be his girlfriend. It's just a date, Chloe. If you think that you can't like him after today, you can just end it”“Can I ask you something?” I asked, turning fully towards her. Her brown eyes lit up i

He stumbled back from the force, I buried my face into his chest. I don't care that he loves Alessa, he can't just forget me.“Chloe, I am sorry”“Do you remember me now?” I asked, tilting my head to see his face. He looked down at me with the sadness expression. My lungs are so heavy, It felt as though I couldn't breathe.“I never forgot you,” I laughed, happy that he remembered m

    Chapter 31”Ethan! Slow down” I begged,my breath coming out in a heavy gasp. He rolled his eyes but did what I said.“Move faster lady. We need to get there before your boyfriend runs off with his girlfriend to the countryside” I glared at the back of his head. For some reason, Ethan thought that running in the morning would do me good, mentally but so far he's not right. I don't feel any better.Also he Says that I should start seducing Mr Young, which I find it to be ridiculous but he's adamant. He even made me wear mascara and lipstick and forced me to style my hair. I was secretly glad that he's being such a good friend by helping me out.When I reached my place, I took a cold shower and threw myself on the bed. Since it's the weekend I decided to work on the lyrics that I've been writing since last week. I opened my laptop and found a new email on

    Chapter 30There was a loud knock on my door but I ignored it. I couldn't recall how long I've been locked away in the confines of my room nor did I care. My stomach grumbles with hunger almost to the point of hurting but I welcome it. The pain on my stomach is nothing compared to pain in my chest, Damien might as well tear my heart into bits with his bare hands. What went wrong with us? Why is he not talking with me!? The more I think about it, the more I’m mad at him for treating me this way. The least he could do is explain what happened.I sat up feeling mad and hungry, I knew I would regret it later but my fingers are already stroking the keyboard, typing out my frustrations and the words that I've been meaning to write ever since I woke up. I typed out all the crappy lyrics pouring out of my soul and crying oc

I cringed.“May I use the restroom?” I asked, looking down at my feet.“Raise your head up if you are talking to a teacher. It's disrespectful to look down” Came his hard, all too familiar voice. I may have look so weird with my behavior, I wished I had looked up on the internet and Google on 'how to behave in front of your ex-boyfriend who came back after he disappeared for two months' His voice held no emotion or any indication that he missed me, Of course, I’m crazy for even thinking about this.“You may go” he says fina

    Chapter 28“Aunt, I'll be fine. Just be safe on your way back” I reassured her the upmteenth time this morning. Aunt Shirley refuses to let me live alone and as much I love being taken care of, I missed living by myself. And as for Mark, he left last week because he needed to go back home. I smiled thinking of how close we had gotten this past few months. I had returned to school just two weeks ago and people who I didn't even talk to before started talking, wishing me happiness and good wishes as if I had come back from the dead. It's exactly a month and fifteen days after the accident, but my mind is still on that day with him.“Honey, I'll be coming back if you don't pick up my calls” I laughed and pulled her into a warm hug not wanting to depart yet. If the accident taught me one thing, it's th

I hate that I have school in thirty minutes yet I can't seem to find the energy and the will to wake up and make breakfast for myself.I felt like I could hear Bibi meowing beside me but then when I listened to it more closely, it seemed to be sniffing and hiccuping. I wanted to open my eyes but I found that opening my eyes requires a lot of effort and energy. So, I settled comfortably on my pillow and decided to head back to sleep.It is a lovely dream. I saw my parents and I, playing around the park with my small puppy which my daddy brought me for my birthday. We were so happy, with dad and mom laughing while they wa
