Chapter Thirty Three
"Van, let's go to ferris wheel, please! I wanna try their monster ride, pretty please?" Lia keep on pulling my arms.
I took a deep sigh,"But that's not my thing. I prefer riding on a carousel instead..."
She pouted more and looked up to the ferris wheel, eyes full of excitement and desire. I felt a little bit guilty, okay, just a little bit. Am I being kill joy, too?
"Hey, you two! Wanna ride?" Someone whistled.
We both turned to Vencie who's waving cheekily inside the ferris wheel with our other classmates. I noticed Lia's crumpled face and more pouting lips. Vencie keeps on saying how excited he is, so loud and it's obvious he's just making Lia feel insecure.
That guy and his boring friend are really such pests.
I held Lia's hand then,"What are you waiting for? Go there, don't mind me here. You enjoy the ride, I'm fi
Chapter Thirty FourHe is interested with me?Is he on drugs? What's interesting about me, anyway?I cleared my throat."You're really gone crazy. Stop it now, Miller. You see, I have no time for your silly thoughts and such."He was about to speak but I already waved my hand dismissively. Lia chased me and I readied myself for her never-ending comments on our way to our room."Why so heartless, Van? He's just adoring you, I guess? While you turned him down." She shook her head and pouted.I gave her my unbothered look."If you think I'm heartless because of what I did then, think of it. And what do you want to do? Entertain him? Make him as a friend? Lia, you two are totally opposite. You're not him and he's not you." I said firmly.Her face softened."What if he's true? What if he just wanted to be your friend? Remember, d
Chapter Thirty FiveA batch of knock awakened me from a not so sweet dream. My eyes were still sleepy as I took the comforter and covered my whole body. I curved myself in a fetus style, brows furrowed because someone just dared to ruin my first day of weekend."Go away!" I shouted angrily.Whoever that fvcktard, I'm gonna punch his face when I get fully pissed off.I'm trying to continue my sleep but my mind does not cooperating. I ended up removing the comforter out of my body and threw it. I get up on bed and turned off the air conditioner. I wore my bunny slippers and went near the window to pull up the blinds and open its sill. The peaceful meadow welcomed my eyesight.The knock never stops which caused my brows to form in one line. Who's this persistent whodunit out there?So I opened the door annoyingly only to see Innov's smiling face.
Chapter Thirty Six"You have stain on your lower lip," I paused from eating my ice cream when Innov crouched and suddenly wiped something on my lower lip.My brows furrowed. He gave me a small smile."You're still the careless Vanez I knew, especially in front of the ice cream." He then, added."Are you making fun of me?" My brows furrowed even more.He laughed shortly."You're being grumpy again. Go on, continue eating your ice cream now. I bet you wouldn't like it more if it melts real hard." He motioned my one gallon ice cream."Yeah, right..."I ended up savoring the remaining rocky road, cookies and cream and double dutch ice cream. Like what he said earlier, we bought these to fulfill our cravings first before anything else. Somehow, I felt at ease and calm. I guess my weekend with him isn't that bad, huh.
Chapter Thirty Seven"Oh my goodness! What have she done?""She must be really crazy!""A mad woman!""She don't know what she's doing! Please, get her out of here!"I gained violent reactions from everybody. Someone tried to move me away from Azelyn but I didn't step back nor loosen my uptight fists. My breath was heavy and I'm ready to hurt anyone who dare to block my sight of her. The three girls who ruined my afternoon are now standing up one-by-one and they never dared look at my eyes again.Well, they better be. They better be afraid of me because they don't know who they are talking too."You have no heart, Vanez! You have no mercy! Why did you h-hurt me?" Azelyn stuttered as her eyes watered.I feel like my veins was about to explode. How dare her ask that!"You hurt me first! Your filthy han
Chapter Thirty EightIt was nearly evening and we are here, standing behind the wooden wall, waiting for Lash's sign.Me, Ivonne, Polla and Missy are assigned to be the lookout while the remaining boys are standing two meters away from us while preparing their baseball bats, swiss knifes and pieces of wood. Lash and Richton, as our leaders are talking to the leaders of the other brotherhood as well, Klaus and Nemesis and up until now, they are not yet done.I'm already losing my patience.I rested at the wall and took one stick out of my jacket's pocket. Missy and Polla moved away while blowing the smokes away. I almost rolled my eyes. Girly things.I lazily looked down at Ivonne's hand in front of my face."Can I have one, please? Just wanna calm my tits, I'm also losing my patience. What's taking them so long? Seriously?" Her frowning face gives me vibes.
Chapter Thirty Nine"Jaguar..." I breathed.What is he doing here? Is this even true? Am I really seeing his face again?He carefully shut the door and walked towards my side while I'm just watching his every move and I spotted some changes in his physical features. I can still remember the last time I saw him... with his new girl.I didn't expect I will see him again, and it's funny how it should be in this kind of situation where I'm looking so weak.His face became more matured. His disheveled long hair before is now on a clean cut. His brooding dark eyes that were used to give me chills and I used to adore seems brighter, more expressive."Good thing Innov let me visit you. Here, I bought you fruits and cereals." Even his voice changed a lot. It's now manly and deep.I didn't talk back, I just watched him put those things he brought on
Chapter Fourty I shook my head dismissively after I chewed the food Innov have gave me."I'm full," I told him.But he's still giving me another one."This one's healthy...""I said, I'm already full. Come on, stop babying me." I crossed my arms as my brows formed in one line.He made a short laugh before he put down the tray."Alright, alright. Drink your water now," he commanded. I frowned and took the glass of water on the tray and drank it."Happy now?" I asked in sarcasm."Very," he started cleaning the side of my hospital bed."What are you still doing here? Don't you have a class?" I asked and rested my back at the headboard.He gave me a look."I just recently went here but you're already shooing me away. Anyway, yeah. I have a class right now but it's still seven in the morning. It
Chapter Fourty OneI chose to be alone. I successfully controlled myself from crying again, but I didn't save my sore eyes. If I just have sticks here, just a single one, I will just calm myself down.I'm not expecting another visitor anymore so I started peeling the orange on the bedside table. I was in the middle of munching it when a knock interrupted me. My mouth left hanging, my brows arrowed.What the hell? Who is it this time? I wasn't expecting anyone and I already told the nurses to not let anybody enter my room because I'm not accepting another visitors!I'm so much stressed because of my previous visitors, then here's another---oh my goodness!"Vannnn!"I almost lost my grip on the orange when Rocelia suddenly appeared. It's was too late for me to react because she immediately jumped here to hug me. I just pushed her a little bit when I felt tha
Final Chapter[A year later...]I put down the flowers on his grave, wiped out some bits of soil covering his name engraved on it.Innov Ymerson Kastle Consuelo"It's been a year. I missed you, my annoying brother." I said, smiling."And you missed some ice cream here..." I felt a hand wrapped around my waist.I chuckled at what Yukenzo said. He's standing beside me, hands inside his pockets. He looked breathtakingly handsome in his dark blue v-neck shirt and faded jeans by the way, and he become taller than me, like way too tall than before. While I'm here, seemed stuck with my previous height those past years."We missed you, Innov. I hope you're happy there..." I looked down and sighed.Because I know your life here isn't that happy at all. Days after he died, we discovered that he fai
Chapter Sixty Nine"Innovvvv! No! My son doesn't deserve this! He's not dead! No!"I was just staring blankly at the coffin in front of us. Only Aunt Sharon's voice full of misery keeps on echoing in the whole corner of the funeral room. She's been crying since yesterday, Dad remained quiet while comforting him but his eyes says it all. I'm beside Yukenzo, behind us are Lia and Vencie, Yukenzo's mother and grandma. She never stopped asking me how am I feeling and I keep saying I'm okay, my body is but not my heart.Everyone's quiet. No one intended to talk. The pain keeps on lingering inside me and my tears seems too shallow to fall in just a matter of seconds. I wiped it eventually but another batch replaced it. I sighed heavily."You can cry..." Yukenzo said and wiped it for me.I nodded and those tears seemed to hear it because right fucking then, they fell continuously
Chapter Sixty Eight|Vanez's POV|My muscles tensed up and my body never stopped trembling because of the cold. I can already taste the blood, it tastes like a metal. I remained lying on the ground but I didn't move even an inch, I didn't crawl. Hell, I won't.I'd rather die than crawl and beg for my life.Akira and Azelyn were now talking after she called the people in the mansion. Up until now, I still can't believe they can do such thing like this. How did they go this far? Are my father's love for Akira's still not enough? What about Yukenzo's genuine treatment to Azelyn? Was it still not enough? What is enough then? What would make it enough?I wonder how will I escape this. For me, they're just weak but their plan is well than what I expected. And... I cannot fight anymore.I'm loosing my strength, slowly..."They ar
Chapter Sixty SevenTwo of them ran to me first. One has a dagger so I needed to avoid it properly, another one is determined to punch me but I ducked and jumped to avoid all their attacks. Another batch ran to join them. I kicked the ass of the two and others' chests. I'm panting after I gave half of my strength. Azelyn and Akira were just watching me fight their men.All of them are fighting me now. They're surrounding me, I jumped and kicked their chest one by one in a circular motion. Groans and growls echoed. I kicked one's face and hit another one's 'down there'. I turned around to punch the one behind me in the face and give him a headbutt. I took the dagger from the one holding it the moment I turned him down, I threw it to the four. Bullseye.I was busy catching my breath, I bit distracted by the fast beat of my heart when I felt a huge impact on my head. I knelt, face crumpled because of the sudd
Chapter Sixty SixIn a slow manner, I opened my eyes. My vision was blurry as I saw a glistening light above me. It took seconds before I finally adjusted it and the unfamiliar surroundings is what I have seen.My brows furrowed and was about to move but then, I realized, I'm being tied up to the chair I'm sitting on."W-what the actual fuck?!"I roamed my eyes around, there's only one light bulb and it's directly on me. Everything is all dark, messy and unpleasant. I can smell disgusting scent that making me want to vomit. I continued moving and shouting."Can someone hear me? Is there anyone here?!" Then, I remembered the last person I saw before I lost my conciousness. I gritted my teeth."Akira! Bitch, show yourself! I know you did this! Don't hide your ass and show me what you got, freaking biatch!"I knew it! She didn't change after all. She's still t
Chapter Sixty FiveHappiness comes in the right time. We just have to wait for it. We need to be patient to feel the content. Because believe me, if you wait patiently, it would be worth it in the end."Happy birthday, my princess..." Dad kissed me on my forehead, he's the first one who greeted me the moment sun rose.I smiled."Thanks, Dad." I hugged him."Where's my gift?" I wiggled my brows and joked.He laughed shortly and handed me a..."A key?!" I shouted in so much shock."Yup. I know you want a car. You can have it now. I won't control you anymore." He said.I'm teary-eyed as I'm staring at the key he gave me. Then, I jumped to hug him, this time, tighter. I'm so happy!"Thank you so much, Dad! I love you!""Anything for you, my princess."I had a literally good morning. I received co
Chapter Sixty FourIt's true that even how much we want to forget those people who did something bad to us, we ended up forgiving them and forgetting the pain they have caused to us instead.Two days after, we got back together. I forgave them and he forgave me. He waited and I took the risk again. I realized that after all we've been through, he's still the only guy who can make my heart beats fast, the only guy who dislikes my bad habits but wiling to embrace those. How ironic right? Years ago, I hated him for being a meddler and he dislikes me for being a bad girl but now..."I'm sorry for the trouble, Martin. Believe me, I didn't know. I didn't know it's your wife he accidentally killed. If I just knew it then, I would give her the justice, immediately and willingly." Yukenzo's mother, Sierra, said to Dad one time he set dinner for all of us.We're sitting in the long table, beside me
Chapter Sixty Three"Is that all?""Yup." I nodded at grandma after she asked few questions about what happened earlier.She loosened her apron and faced me."Hmm, why did you not forgive him?""Huh? I already forgave my father, grandma." I reasoned out, a bit confused.She chuckled and shook her head."Silly. I'm not pertaining to Martin, I mean, your ex-boyfriend. That... what's his name again? Lorenzo?"I put down the bowl I'm holding."Yukenzo." I corrected her."Oh, yeah! I'm happy you can now forgive the people around you. You have learned not to get stuck in the past. But why can't you do the same to this particular boy..." she trailed off.I sighed heavily. I know where this will go. I get her point, too. It's just that... I can take all the risk so fast, like before. I can't be impulsive again. I ne
Chapter Sixty Two"Oh. I gotta leave now..." Innov whistled and tapped my shoulder.I blinked, realizing what he's doing."H-hey!" I tried to stop him and make him stay here but the jerk just waved his hand on me along with his smirking face.Grr! Damn, Innov! I thought we're allies here? Annoying!I slowly faced Yukenzo. His hands were inside his pocket, he didn't even blink after meeting my gaze. Now, how will I deal with this? I need to act calm and still. Things have changed already. It's all different now."What are you doing here?" Thank God, my voice agreed with my terms."I was about to meet Mr. Martin Arnaez..." Oh. I looked away and cleared my throat.Shit! I thought... I just thought...That's so assuming of me. Stupid! Stupid! Of course, you're not the reason of his appearance here! Idiot self,
