He took one more look at Gaby’s face. He smiled. ‘God, what is with you, Gaby, and this is how you affect me.’ Clark thought. “Sir Clark, the food is ready,” said one of their maids, Celia. “All right, thank you,” said Clark. The face of the housekeeper showed shock at hearing the lad’s words of thanks. She took off right away. “Gaby!” said Clark once, patting the girl’s cheek. ‘Her skin is so soft.’ Clark thought. “Wake up, sleepyhead!” Clark whispered in the girl’s ear. Gaby flipped and panicked. She felt the warmth of his breath in her ear. Clark smiled while watching her. “Let’s get inside and have dinner first,” said Clark. “Huh? Where are we?” Gaby asked. Clark assisted her until she exited the car. “At my home,” said Clark. “What?” said Gaby in shock. “It’s right next to the concert place, so I thought we could just have dinner here,” said Clark. Gaby didn’t speak, with Clark’s hand resting on her back. They can see the expensive furniture, tall vases, and beautif
“Are you okay, Gaby?” She looked at the man beside her. “J-joey!” said Gaby fixing up her seat. “What happened?” “I don’t know, Gaby, but earlier, as we were going to the cafeteria, somebody came up to us, and we blacked out, and when I woke up, we were already in the old building,” said Joey. They didn’t tie them; they just let them sit on an old chair. Gaby never knew this place. “Where are we in the old block?” asked Gaby. “At the end of the university, all I know is that there would have to be another village for the students,” said Joey. It distracted them when they knew someone was coming. Gaby just got up. Because the building was old and unfinished, as a matter of fact, they immediately saw who was coming. “Travis?” Gaby said in shock. The young man smiled. “You made me happy, Gaby. You recall my name.” “What is it you want from us? Why did you bring us to this place?” Gaby asked. “You are what we need, but because this nerd has a tail on you, we’ve included him,” sai
“That’s Andrea and Travis!” said Riki. “They should not leave university. Let me call security,” said Sasha. The woman immediately took her telephone and dialed. Belle got her cell phone. “I’ll call the administration. They must know what happened here,” said Belle. Andrea and Travis’s group never saw them. They immediately exited the vehicle upon stopping outside the building. It was still unfinished, so it was almost open. “Gaby’s there!” said Ashlee Everybody raised their eyes and saw Gaby on the fifth floor. One man approaches Gaby. “Gaby!” Dylan and Clark shouted together. They were quick to run inside the building. When they arrived, the men were going downstairs. Clark and Dylan immediately hit them, almost bloody and contusional, until they fell and rolled down the stairs. Riki and Matt went after Clark and Dylan. They have left the women behind. “Andrea and Travis can’t run away,” said Sasha. “And the faculty and others come here,” stated Belle. “Oh, my…” said Ashl
The girls were sitting on chairs facing the emergency. The boys were standing beside the wall. Aunt Isabelle told the real story about Gaby and what happened to her, and why her brother was so mad at Dylan. Gaby noticed Dylan hadn’t visited or shown up at their home in Canada for several days. They hear from Gali that Gaby and Dylan discussed a meeting at the playground near the village one night. But Dylan didn’t show up. Gaby waited until morning. She didn’t leave the playground hoping Dylan would show up, until Bianca Gaby’s cousin came to pick her up and took a vacation in Canada. Bianca convinced her to go home, but then she disappeared before lunch. They looked for Gaby among all their acquaintances and friends, but they answered one thing: they did not find Gaby. They found out she was at the airport, taking a taxi. A policeman from the airport called home to tell them that Gaby was there. Because she was a minor, the airport policeman didn’t want her to go home alone. When B
“Hey, Dylan stopped crying,” Sasha said while hugging Dylan. They’re still at the emergency department. They were sitting on the chair that was there. Clark and both Franco and Isabel are gone. They were the only friends who stayed. Dylan was silent, so you leaned down while you rested two elbows on both his legs and his head bowed. “You’re not to blame for what happened. Dylan, even Gaby, isn’t blaming you, is she?” said Ashlee. “Gaby’s father, his reaction is quite natural to a parent. Talk to him, Dylan. It’s possible Gaby’s dad doesn’t know the truth. As a dad, he only protects his princess. They haven’t heard your story, so they hate you. Talk to Gaby’s parents and let them know. So you can lighten your minds.” said Belle. Dylan got up and left. They did not know where he was going. - Across the hall from the emergency room, Dylan walked by. Belle was right, and he needed to speak to Gaby’s parents about his side of the story. They are angry because they are not aware of the
A man who was standing behind the table distracted her. He was also masked and looked like he had come out of the ball. He was holding a paper and suddenly spoke. “Repeat after me. State your name.” Gaby turned to the man and the man across from her, holding both hands. “Hep hep! What is this? Do you intend to conjoin us?” Gaby asked. “Yes! This is the wedding booth. What did you expect?” the man said. The guy holding Gaby’s hand chuckled. Gaby glanced at the man holding her and looked at the man at the table. “Hang on!” she fought hard for the man to release his grip on her two hands. We know you’re good at mixed martial arts, but harassment is against the law here. The cops are standing by.” the man behind the table said. She looked in the booth beside them. It was Jail Booth there, and there were two men, aka police costumes, wearing mascara. “Repeat after me. I take this man..” the man said. “Hell no! Although it’s not true, I’m not marrying anyone I don’t know,” said Gab
After a twelve-hour journey, they arrived at Sagada. Matt’s family has a rest home there so they can stay there for a few days of vacation. Matt and Riki immediately awakened their friends and slept well because they had been up most last night. “Are we here?” asked Belle, extending her arms. “Yeah! Come on down!” said Matt. Dylan reached out to Gaby and Clark. Both were still asleep, and Gaby was still embracing Clark. Clark was still embracing Gaby. “Sweet!” said Ashlee enthusiastically. Dylan grasped Clark’s arm and shivered behind him, prompting the young man to wake up. He stared at Dylan. “We’re here.” Dylan just said never smile. Clark glanced at Gaby, who was still sleeping. Dylan woke her up as well, and soon she opened her eyes. Gaby didn’t seem to know she was hugging Clark because she sat and looked outside where the others were. “Are we here now?” said Gaby. “Yep,” said Dylan. Dylan took Gaby’s bag and his bag before he got off. Gaby followed Dylan. They left Cl
Everyone laughed. They even laughed when Matt tightened the banana with both legs and opened up the condom and slowly inserted it into the banana. Matt even murmured in doing this so that the entire group was loud with the force of laughter and jokes. “Very skillful, cuz!” cried Jayson. Matt laughed. “I’ll go for a spin!” The bottle went around and stopped in front of Jayson. Matt gave up the fishbowl and took him out. “It’s a Dare, guys!” Jason shouted. “Blindly fold your partner in front of you, place chocolate syrup on his/her neck, and lick it until there’s nothing left.” “Oh, my gosh!” said Ashlee suddenly Ashlee is seated in front of Jason. She could feel the heat on her face. Even though she was nervous, she wasn’t lost because Jason was handsome; he seemed equally yummy too. Smiling, Jason approached Ashlee; he sat down in front of Ashlee and placed the blindfold. Then lightly coat your neck with chocolate syrup. Ashlee’s body trembled when she felt the man’s warm breath
Matt couldn't stop laughing as Clark stood next to him. Everyone is excited about that day. It's Clark and Gaby's wedding day. Last night Clark was nervous, and Riki and Matt did nothing but laugh at him. They even visited Dylan's grave in the middle of the night to accompany Clark to ask Dylan for advice. Before Clark went crazy, they had already complied with his wishes. Clark was too paranoid that Gaby might not take him to the altar. Matt, Riki, and Clark still secretly went to Gaby; Clark wanted to see if Gaby would come to their wedding. It's been five years since Dylan's death, and it's been three years since Gaby and Clark had a new relationship, but Clark is still afraid that Gaby might not leave him. Sponsors and bridesmaids start walking down the aisle, but Clark is still nervous. "All right, you're nervous, Clark, so you'll lose consciousness later or have a heart attack. Matt is ready to take your place." Riki laughed. "Just try Matt, I'll kill you inside the church," s
After Two Years… Graduation day, and everyone was happy. They met you in the graduation hall right inside the university. It was already the night after the ceremony. Matt approached Clark, who was talking to his parents not far away. Matt was followed by the others, who also said goodbye to the parents. "We did it, dude!" smiling Riki said Clark put his hand around their shoulders. "Change, stop being a womanizer. Dylan will haunt you." Everyone laughed. "Let's picture, guys!" Ashlee shouted. After several photoshoots, they first visited Dylan’s grave that night before celebrating their graduation. They sat while facing Dylan's grave. All the flowers they received they placed on top of the tomb. "I know you'll get angry, but it's your fault. I hope you're with us now," said Matt. "He's with us," said Sasha as she placed a picture of Dylan on the grave "Have you heard from Gaby yet?" Riki suddenly asked. Everyone turned to Clark as Ashlee pinched Riki on the side. "
Matt sat down next to Clark. Matt took Clark's hand of the ice cream cone and handed it a new one. He threw away the melted ice cream and gave Clark a tissue. "I know you're unlucky now, dude, but don't fall in love with me. I know my charisma is strong." Matt joked. "Tsk, you're pure bullshit," said Clark "You're too serious a dude," said Matt. Clark looked to where Gaby and Dylan were. "Don't be jealous now, dude. They need each other at a time like this." Clark looked at Matt. 'Does he know about Dylan?' Clark thought. "Why would they need each other?" Clark asked. "Let's say there are things that are hard to say, just like telling the truth to the person you love," said Matt Clark didn't speak anymore, and he just took a deep breath. Clark was surprised when Matt took the ice cream cone he was holding. "You're wasting food. If you don't want ice cream, I'll eat it, okay?" said Matt. "You're greedy," said Clark Matt just laughed, then bowed. 'Geez, my heart is in
Surprised, they all went down to the kitchen after the housemaid called them, as Gaby was busy in the kitchen. The helpers set the dining table while Gaby was busy transferring the food into the bowls. Even Jeff, Isabel, and Franco were surprised. Gaby smiled as she saw everyone standing at the dining-room door. "Good morning …" Gaby said, smiling. "Why are you still standing there? Let's have breakfast together." Everyone acted at once and sat down in front of the long table. Gaby prepared a variety of food. Gaby glanced at Dylan but immediately looked away, and Gaby smiled at Clark. "Why do you look like that? You can't believe it." Gaby said, laughing. Gaby sat down next to Isabel and looked at everyone. She felt the pain of being able to make her look at Dylan. He smiled as he talked to Matt. Unbeknownst to Gaby, Clark was watching her. "Didn't you sleep last night, Gaby?" Riki suddenly asked. Gaby glanced at Riki. "Not so much." "Why? Are you feeling anything?" Franco asked.
Dylan was surprised to see Matt outside the bathroom. He was leaning against the wall, and it looked like he was waiting for him. Matt motioned for them to come out, and he followed. They went to the garage, Dylan looked around to see if anyone else was there. "You're sick?" Matt asked. "I'm not in pain," Dylan said "Don't lie anymore, I know you're hiding something. Do you think I didn't notice?" Matt said. Dylan took a deep breath. "Notice what?" Matt crossed his arms and then stared at Dylan. "What if I find out what's going on with you and I tell the gang?" "Do it," Dylan said. "Do not you trust me?" Dylan looked at Matt. He knew Matt, he was sure if he hadn't told Matt what he noticed he would investigate, and he would tell his friends what he found out. Matt started walking away from the garage when Dylan spoke again. "One month," Dylan said Matt turned away then frowned. "I- I only have ..... one month to live." Dylan had a hard time saying that. Matt was stunned and
"Film?" wrinkled when Gaby asked Clark was invited to watch a film in the entertainment room. Clark asked the maids to cooked popcorn. "Hey, we're in," Belle said. Clark laughed. "Of course. I've seen some good movies there before." "I also put beer and juice in the refrigerator there," Riki said "Let's go!" excited Sasha said The entertainment room has a bed, a sofa, and a carpet on the floor. The dark interior was designed for an entertainment room. At 85 inches (2.16 m), the monitor is attached to the wall. There are four speakers in each corner of the ceiling, the light is dim, so it feels great to watch especially when it comes to horror movies. Everyone sat on the carpet, Clark and Gaby side by side. Dylan is in bed with Riki and Jeff. Dylan is next to Sasha, Ashlee, and Belle. Matt is next to Gaby. Before filming the film, they had a lot of fun. For no deception. Ashlee was the one they pulled out, and horror was the genre it got. At the beginning of the film, this is the
Isabel recounts her and Franco's discovery of Gaby's personality. Everyone listened to what Isabel said. "And only now did you find out, Tita after all these years that you are with her?" Riki asked, still incredulous. "Yes, Tita. Countless people say that Tito Franco looks like Gaby," Ashlee said. "Didn't you feel any leap of blood? The parent's connection to the child?" Matt asked. "Maybe there is, but we noticed that because we were close to Gaby when she was young," Isabel said. "Auntie, just curious, how can you tell your sister what happened?" Sasha asked. "They already knew before we even went to the villa. And they were happy for us," Isabel said. "You mean Bianca is my sister?" Everyone turned to Gaby who was already awake. "Is Bianca my sister? But we're the same age," Gaby said. Clark sat down next to Gaby's bed. "No, Gaby. Bianca was our adopted child. When you disappeared, I was very depressed, especially when the doctor said I had no hope of having children
They help Franco and Jeff get Gaby, Isabel, and Dylan out safely, but they are stopped by the man who kidnapped them and took Gaby hostage. No one was able to stop them when it pointed the gun at Gaby's head. Moreover, they noticed Gaby's breathing starting to deepen as if she was having difficulty breathing. "Franco is our son …" Isabel cried. They watch the man walk away with Gaby. Jeff was surprised when Dylan grabbed the gun he was holding unexpectedly and followed the man. "Dylan …" Jeff said. But Dylan ignored him. In the forest behind that large warehouse, there the man ran with Gaby. Dylan followed them. Dylan was even surprised when Clark held his arm, so he aimed the gun at it. "Dude, Clark …" Clark said. "Clark …" Dylan said in shock. "Where's Gaby now?" Clark asked. "With the man, she was taken hostage …" Dylan said. Meanwhile, while the man is busy escaping, Gaby can stop it. Gaby grabbed the man's hand quickly using her elbow to attack the side of its neck
"Damn it!" Jeff and Clark were standing on the side of the road where Dylan's phone location was spotted. Jeff was holding it. Its screen cracked but still working. "We lost track of them?" Clark asked. "What are we going to do? How will they be found?" Jeff turned to Clark. "CCTV …" "What?" "I saw CCTV outside the hospital. There was also CCTV on the highways …" Jeff said. Jeff quickly got back in the car, and so did Clark. "Where will we go?" "At the security center …" "Do you know the license plate number of the vehicle?" Jeff handed Clark the OTG flash drive. Jeff and Clark watched the CCTV footage of the vehicle they were looking for. They followed what they were looking for. They quickly followed the vehicle to where it was going. "I've already talked to Kuya Franco," said Jeff "Why were Gaby and Tito Franco abducted?" Clark asked. "Because of our work," said Jeff "Why with Gaby? Why with Gaby?" Clark asked. Jeff turned to his but did not speak. Clark to
