PICTURE OF YOU 10 YOU TAKE CARE OF ME
ABBY's POVsMatthew has one broken rib, an abrasion on his left cheek, on her elbow, and a big one on his left arm and his right leg. He winced every time he took a step, holding his side. I felt guilty because of what happened to him. He was severely hurt because he tried to prevent my fall by hugging me, making sure I fell on top of him, and he was the one who hit the ground. It's all the dog's fault why it crossed the street the time we passed by. I owe him more, first for pretending to be my boyfriend and now for saving me from the accident. How can I repay him now? I wait outside after the Doctor tends to my minor cuts while they're tending to Matthew. After fifteen minutes, the Doctor stepped out of the room, and Matthew followed him, with a man named John beside him."Matthew, are you okay now? I thought you had broken bones, and your scrapes looked serious. You should stay here for a day or two.""That's what I told him, Miss, but he wanted to go home." The Doctor said."I'm f

Matthew POV'S"Matthew, Matthew." I opened my eyes and quickly bolted up, only to fall back on my bed when I felt an excruciating pain on my side, arms, and leg. I mentally cussed, wincing in pain. "Just move slowly. Why did you suddenly get up from your bed? Look at your arm. It's bleeding again." Abby scolded me."You startled me. I forgot about the accident earlier, and I was startled to see your face when I opened my eyes." I reasoned out, wincing."Tsk! So it's my fault why you're in pain now. I am so ugly that I scare you? " She snorted."I didn't say that." I hissed. "Why did you wake me up anyway?"The food is ready. Come on, let's eat. I brought the food here." "Thank you, Abby. Can you help me, please?" She went beside me and helped me sit up, holding my shoulder. I wince but endure the pain. She put a pillow behind me and let me lean on the headboard. After that, she brought the tray of food in front of me and sat on the edge of my bed."Can you eat on your own?""I think

The following day, I woke up earlier than usual. I need to go to Matthew first before I go to school. I hurriedly took a bath, put on my school uniform, and went out of my apartment without eating breakfast."I'll just eat at Matthew. He has lots of food there. I'm sure he won't mind it. I locked my door and was startled when I saw Uncle John standing at the side of the car not far away from my apartment, smiling."Good morning, Abby. Matthew asked me to pick you up.""He did? But you shouldn't have to Uncle. It's fine, And it's still very early. I burden you too much already .""It's fine, Abby. Get in the car." He smiles."Thank you, uncle." He closed the door after I settled inside, went to the driver seat, and drove off."Uncle, I'm working with Matthew. I'm not a special person who needs to be picked up with a car every time I report for work." I shyly said."Believe me, Abby, you are not a worker. You're more than that." He said, smiling at me."What do you mean by that?" But he

It's been a week since the accident. Every day, Abby drops by Matthew's unit to cook his breakfast, and they eat together. After that last Sunday, Abby stayed in his unit the whole day. She cleans the entire place with Matthew following her and helping her occasionally. For the whole week, they become closer and more comfortable with each other. They can comfortably joke and playfully hit each other without feeling awkward, and Matthew started to become attached to her and felt like his day wouldn't be complete without her. ***"Good morning Matt!!! Abby hollered downstairs, and a few seconds later, he heard her footsteps running up the stairs, and then she burst into his room."Good morning." Matthew greeted back, smiling, now dressed in his school uniform."Umm!! Are you alright now? Why you're in your uniform?""I'm fine. Look at my arm; the scrapes and bruises have already healed. I can move it without pain, and I missed school a whole week." Abby held his arm and looked at his

ABBYI tap my finger on the counter while patiently waiting for my customer's drink. Nick and Theo were busy mixing the drinks. Tonight, the bar is packed with people that we don't have time to take a little break. My legs ache from walking back and forth, getting the order, and serving drinks. I sighed and took the tray of drinks that Theo handed to me. I hurriedly served it, then returned to the bar for another batch of drink to serve."Abby, go up to the V.I.P. area. One of our V.I.P. guests wanted that you only serve them the whole night." Our manager said. I almost jumped in joy. V.I.P means less hassle, less work, and away from trouble. I smiled at our manager, nodding my head, and quickly went up to the second floor."For Mr. Kim, room 4. He's been waiting for you to serve their drinks." Jay said, winking. "Mr. Kim seems like he loves your service. Every time he came, he asked for you. I just shrugged in response, picked up the tray over the counter, and went to their reserved r

ABBY"Umm!!! The real reason is that my friends kept harassing me to go on a blind date because they said I needed to find a boyfriend. And every time I go, it's a disaster. If I hadn't stolen a picture of Matthew and told my friend he was my boyfriend, I'm sure Mia would still be forcing me to go on a blind date.""Mia sometimes is crazy," James chuckled. "Not only sometimes, always." I scoffed. "I thought I'd never see Matthew again, but sad to say, we bump into each other always, and he became my schoolmate, and here I am acting as his fake girlfriend.""You should be thankful to me for saving you with your crazy friends." Matthew snorted."But because of that picture, I swept the street, and I even jumped up the wall. Why do you keep chasing me anyway? It's just a picture, though.""I thought you were a kidnapper." He rolled his eyes. "What? How can you assume me like that? Do I look like one?" I glare at him."What if you have a contact? And why, of all the people in the mall t

MATTHEWAfter thirty minutes, I went downstairs, and my parents were in the living room waiting for me. "Come here." My father ordered. I made my way to them and stood beside them. My life has always been like this, like a puppet, following everything that my parents told me to do. They showered me with material things and let me do what I wanted, but I needed to follow everything they said, or they would disown me. Because I was too young back then, I was afraid to be alone, but now, if they ask me to do things I can't take anymore, I don't care. They can disown me all they want."Don't embarrass us, Matthew. They're our friend, and we knew you knew their daughter. She's your girlfriend. We heard about your relationship with her." My father said."Girlfriend? But I don't have a girlfriend." I thought. The doorbell rang, and my mother excitedly opened the door. A man and a woman the same age as my parents stepped inside with a girl behind them. I couldn't see her face because she was

"Matt, wake up. Let's eat dinner." I softly shook his shoulder to wake him up. He opened his eyes quickly, and then he sat up. "Let's eat," I whispered, smiling. I went to the table near my bed with the food I cooked already set. Matthew followed me and sat in the chair in front of me. I put some rice on his plate and bulgogi. I don't usually eat meat because I don't have enough money to buy it, but I know Matthew don't eat just vegetable, so I cook meat for him."Eat." I urged him, smiling. He smiled, stood up, went to the sink, and washed his hands. He returned to his seat after and ate using his bare hand. I smile and eat as well. "You cook well." He complimented munching his food."You just notice. I've been cooking for you for more than a week." I rolled my eyes, and he chuckled. "Of course I notice. I only didn't voice it out. I only purse my lips, and we eat quietly after that. I washed our dishes after we finished eating while Matthew sat on the couch quietly, face buried i

It was already six in the evening when a knock at the door came, and when Matthew opened it, Uncle Felix and Aunty Celeste stood outside the door, eyes both wide open in shock. "Matthew? " "Aunty, Uncle." "Oh my god." Aunty Celeste cried and wrapped her arms around Matthew, and Uncle Felux joined them, also crying. "You're alive. How did it happen?" "Come inside, and I'll tell you everything." Matthew opens the door wider to let them in. Uncle and Aunty settled on the couch while Mathew and I sat on the edge of Arabella's bed facing them. Matthew told them everything that happened since the day he woke up in the Hospital without any memory of us until the day he regained his memories. After he told them, Aunty Celeste was crying so much with Uncle's arms around her also crying. "I'm so happy that you're back now; without your daughter, I don't know what will happen to Abby after we receive the news that you are already dead. Lucky Arabella was with her." Matthew's

ABBYIt felt like the whole world fell over me. I staggered backward, but thankfully Matthew quickly held me."Sarah, How did this thing happen? You're at the playground across the street. How you're here?" I screamed, now trembling in fear."Sorry, ma'am, but Arabella wanted to come here because it's scorching outside. We only wanted to wait in the lobby, but that girl and the police came." Sarah explained, crying."Harry, call the head of security now!!! Matthew demanded. Everyone inside the conference room turned quiet instantly. Only my sob and Harry's voice, who was talking to the head of security over the phone, were heard, but Matthew snatched the phone from his hold."Block all the exits of the building now, and make sure Kayla can't step out of this building because the minute she is out, all of you will be jobless." He screamed and ended the call."I need to see Arabella." I cried, dragged Matthew out of the conference room, and ran to the lobby."Mommy, Daddy!! Arabella cri

MATTHEW After I left Abby and Arabella, I went straight to my unit, and as soon as I opened the door, Kayla's glaring eyes greeted me. "Where have you been? You're not answering my call, and your assistant doesn't know where you are. And you don't appear in our wedding rehearsal. You've gone for two nights and one day, and you don't even return my call. Where have you been, Matthew?" "None of your business, so shut up. You're ruining my day this early morning." I stormed inside my room, locking it. "Matthew! Matthew! Open this damn door." She screamed, banging on my door. I ignored her and hurriedly shoved the papers I needed inside the bag and the clothes to change before I opened the door. Walking past her, she grabbed my wrist, and I quickly pulled it away from her. I, feeling disgusted. "What's wrong, babe? What did I do wrong? Why you're avoiding me? What happened?" She asked, tears rolling down her face. If I still don't recall my memories, I'm sure I will fall for her
PICTURE OF YOU 50 HAPPY FAMILY
MATTHEW After dinner, I helped Arabella wash up and change into her pajamas despite her and Abby's protest, saying she could do it herself, but I ignored them. I want to do things I haven't done since the day she was born. "After changing our sleepwear, I wore Abby's oversized shirt and jersey shorts. Yes, until now, she still had those jerseys in her closet, but she wasn't wearing them anymore when she slept. She was now wearing nighties. I never thought she would wear this kind of clothing when she slept. I don't complain, by the way. Actually, I like it. Right now, she's wearing silk purple see-through nighties that reach an inch above her knees, and she looks so sexy in them. Her pale skin stands out more, and I can see the outline of her body through the fabric. "Ouch!!! Hey, why did you poke my forehead." "Stop staring." She rolled her eyes and slipped under the cover beside me. "I just stared at what was displayed in front of me." I chuckled, earning a pinch on m

ABBYGAIL "Bella, baby, come downstairs for a while. Daddy wants to ask you something." I called up and slapped his hand that crawled under my shirt and threw him a glare but pretended he did nothing. I pinch his side, earning a kiss on my cheek. After a minute, Arabella came running down the stairs. "Hey, don't run." Matthew races to the bottom of the stairs to catch Arabella in fear. But Arabella only giggled and jumped to her father's arm. "Hey, careful there, little one. You might fall off the stairs." Matthew kissed her cheek and returned to my side. "I'm a big girl now, and I always run up and down the stairs and never fell even once. I'm careful while running on the stairs, Daddy." Arabella reasoned out. Matthew sigh. "Accidents always happen, Baby, so please don't stop making Daddy, Okay?" "I'll be extra careful, Daddy, so that you won't worry. What do you want to ask me about Daddy?" "Do you want to eat lunch outside, Princess? Then let's go to the park and eat

ABBYGAIL"Did you contact Matthew?" I asked Mia for the nth time now. I'm so worried right now. Since he walked out of the clinic, I felt so scared, and to add to it, his assistant couldn't contact him."Abby, can you contact him yourself? Andrew is now glaring at me because I keep going to the bathroom to answer your call. I will give you the number of his assistant, or you can call him again tomorrow. It's already late, Abby. Maybe he was already sleeping." I bit my lips, but maybe Mia was right."Okay, Mia. I'm sorry for bothering you. Just send me his assistant's and Matthew's numbers, and I'll try to contact him tomorrow.""Okay. You rest now, Abby. It's already one in the morning.""Okay. Good night, Mia, thank you.""Don't mention it. Now rest.""Okay. Bye Mia.""Bye."I lay beside Arabella with my arms around her. Your daddy is back, baby, and I'm sure after you told him your father's name, I know he regained some of his memories. But why he left? But even though he didn't ack
PICTURE OF YOU 47 BABE
MatthewI aimlessly walked with no direction, reminiscing our memories. I smiled at how happy and content with our life back then. I remember when we first made love. That night was the happiest moment of my life, the day of our wedding, and when I discovered Abby was pregnant with our first baby. Those memories are my most treasured but forgotten. I wiped my tears but abruptly stopped when I found my surroundings familiar.I'd been walking for over an hour, and my legs were already burning and getting dark. Slowly, I made my way to the familiar building before me, the building that keeps the memories of how I fell in love with Abby. I don't know if my parents already sold this building or if it is still under my name. I hope it's still mine because Abby and I have many happy memories here.I made my way to the entrance of the building and stepped inside."Matthew. It's been a long time, sir." The guard at the entrance greeted me, smiling. I guess the fake news of my death didn't r
PICTURE OF YOU 46 I'M BACK, BABE
MATTHEWWe arrived at the clinic with Arabella still in my arms. She doesn't want to let go. I didn't complain because I felt comfortable holding her, and I felt warmth in my heart because she kept kissing me. She's a sweet and lovely child. I hope I can have a daughter as sweet as her."What happened to our beautiful Princess? Why you're pale and have tears in your eyes? You even have bruises on your knees?" Can you lie down, Princess, so I can see if check on you? " The Doctor tenderly asked her. "No! I only want Daddy to carry me." The Doctor looked at Miss Park frowning, but she only smiled at her. "I fell on the floor earlier; that's why I have a bruise on my knees," Arabella murmured."I'll sit, and you sit on my lap. Is it okay for you, Princess?" Arabella nodded, smiling.I sat on the edge of the bed and sat her sideward on my lap. The Doctor checked her pulse and heartbeat, and she looked at Miss Park after. "What?" Miss Park mouthed."Her heartbeat is irregular, uneven br
PICTURE OF YOU 45 WHY?
MATTHEW"She brings back my happiness." I wondered why she said that but didn't question further. I'm scared that she might think that I'm invading her privacy. "Babe! I think the merging with Arabella wasn't right." Kayla voiced out, and I snapped my eyes at her."And why is that Kayla? I'm helping him. First, I'm helping him with his business. Second, I'll vote for him to become the CEO, and third, I'm helping him remove a termite in his company." Mrs. Arevalo chuckled when Kayla threw her a death glare. What was she talking about? Who is the termite, she was saying? Kayla? But why? How can she call her that? Kayla has been the one helping me these past months."Drink your coffee while it is hot," Abbygail said as soon as the staff served our coffee. I open my mouth to defend Kayla, but how can I when I don't remember the past? I shook my head, picked up the cup of coffee, and brought it to my lips, thinking whether Miss Park was telling the truth or not. I hate that my memories ha
