"Why were you always glancing at the time? You have a plan for today?" Peter asked me when he noticed my constant glancing at the time. It is almost lunchtime and I know Cindy might be waiting for me. She has already sent me the location. I know Cindy since then and I know how she always wants to be the boss and the ruler of the house."Sorry, Peter. I shall meet an old friend later.""An old friend? Is that old friend of yours is a she or a he?" he asked. He put down his phone to look at me.His bandmates left already. Peter left but he came back. I wasn't surprised at all when he returns because I know he will. He already said to me that we will have lunch together and that's why I am so conscious right now.He doesn't have a say in my life but I am afraid that he will be mad at me if he found out that I am meeting with one of his flings before to ought an act of revenge on him. I can't tell him that."A she, Peter," I replied.He nodded and looked at my sister. Jane is looking at P
"I w-will, Matt," I answered him. Peter looked my way when he heard what I have just said but I turned my back from him so I won't have to meet his cold stares at me. I faced the bathroom door and was about to enter when I realized that I don't need to do that. Why would I hide anyway? Peter already knows who called me and I can't stop him from thinking anymore. I can't make him think of something else as well. It will just cause misunderstanding.But... Why do I care about his feelings now? I shouldn't be thinking of his feelings right now. "With who?" he questioned. He doesn't sound so interested or uninterested, he is in between."A friend of mine. Cindy..."The silence is deafening us. He doesn't know about Cindy though but he mentioned to me before that there was once a girl who confessed to him and the name of the girl is Cindy.I know it is purely coincidental but I can't deny that there is an impact on the way he will hear her name. "Uhm... Okay. Is it okay to leave your s
"Why are you so thrilled? Relax, Tara. I just want someone to talk to. Lately, I have been alone and you know I always wondered why you are moving so weak. Though I already know the answer, I just can't stop myself from thinking," she started.Sipping a cup of coffee while looking at me. She is smiling but you know you can't trust that smile of her."I ordered you a latte already. I am sure you wouldn't mind at all, right?"I nodded at her and relaxed when she called the waiter for my latte. I am not nervous or anything but I am not comfortable sitting here with her as well. Something is making me feel uncomfortable.Maybe it is because I know that I have to do something that would satisfy her, not me but I don't have any other choice but to do it."But anyway, let's not talk about it. I just want some company right now. Moving from place to place almost made me lose my mind. I got no one to talk to except for the bodyguards. Oh, how I love my life but hate it at the same time, get me
With my knees shaking, I quickly run towards the hospital. She is talking now! My sister is now fine!I didn't mind the people looking at me with a curious faces, I just head straight to the entrance of the hospital while trying to relax, slowly catching my breath. My mind is not functioning well at all. The chaotic mind I have becomes even more chaotic right now. I don't know what to do, I am just so happy that my sister is better now. Does she want to eat? Does she want something? Maybe I could but her something before I go up first, right? "Tara..."I looked at my phone and realized that I am still in line with them. "Peter, d-did she really calls my n-name?" My voice becomes shaky now as I wait for the door of the elevator to open.The lady next to me looked at me from head to toe, judging me by my current situation. I probably look so fucked up right now. I look shit, maybe but I don't care, I just want to see my sister right now.I shifted my eyes and look in my front instead
It's been a couple of days passed by but here I am staring at my sister as she is eating the fruits I gave her. Her innocent look made me realize one thing, I will hurt her once she will know what happened. She only asked once about the whereabouts of our mother, and why she didn't visit her. I just told her that my mother went to my brother for a vacation. She didn't ask after that anymore."Why are you staring at me? Are you sure that you are fine, Tara? Because you don't look fine for me.""How do I look then?" I asked her. "That... You don't ask how you look when I give negative comments about you. You will instantly kill me with those burning stares. Is this for a change? Wow! I just slept for days and... I can't believe I got to see this side of you."I just shook my head at her. "Just continue eating, Jane. Tomorrow you will be discharged. So, you should start living a healthy life.""Who says I am not living a healthy life though? By the way, start putting some make-up on. Y
“Matt?!” I exclaimed when I saw him inside my sister’s room.I couldn’t say a word and stood frozen in my spot, almost dropping the food that the lady gave me. He smiles at me, slowly standing up while I couldn’t even be processed what is happening right now. He is here and he is smiling at me, trying to reach my hands as he stood in front of me.“I missed you,” he softly said.I can see the happiness in his eyes when he stares at me for a moment before giving me a tight hug. “I missed you, babe,” he whispered near my ear, sniffing my scent. He loved my smell and that didn’t change. He put his chin on my shoulder while I couldn’t hug him with the way he is hugging me.“How are you here?” I asked. I couldn’t hear my voice properly because of the loud thug of my heart. It doesn’t beat on him but it beats for some reason. Some reason that I know will hurt Matt.I patted his back before he slowly loosens his tight hug. “You looked beautiful as always,” he says when he got the chance to st
"Aren't we going back to our house?" Jane asked when she realizes that the road we are taking is not the way to our home. Jane just got discharged. Matt and I already talked about this. At first, I don't want to stay at his place because I don't want to bother him but my place has a lot of memories that I know will make my heart ache.Matt wants us to stay at his place. He is alone and wants some company as well. I just answered him "yes" after convincing me the whole night. "We are going to Matt's place, Jane. We will surely come to our house once it is fixed," I said. I planned that while staying at Matt's place. I will get our house renovated. I just don't have the money right now to do it because of the things that are happening right now."Who paid her hospital bill?" Matt asked when Jane slept. We are almost at his place. Jane got bored watching the scenery. That's why Matt asked me what has been bothering him all throughout the ride.He was shocked when the nurse said it is
"Are you going to work?" Matt asked. I woke up before him. We didn't share a room because I need to attend to my sister's needs and it feels so wrong to do it. I am feeling like I need to start being distant from him because I am just hurting him.We both got tired from the shopping yesterday. We didn't do much aside from walking each corner of the mall just to find something important. I didn't even get the chance to buy something for myself because first, I don't have much money and I think I don't need to spend money for myself.Matt was talking about his work. He was talking about his workmates and all the while me, I can't do the same. I will just nod at him while listening to all of his chants even if I don't understand the sequence of his storytelling anymore."I w-will."I am not sure if I will go to Peter for work. He's been calling me since yesterday and I am sure he is mad right now because I didn't answer him. Who wouldn't be mad if I became suddenly unresponsive to him bu
Tara's Point of ViewI looked at my little angel. A beat skips my heart as he smiles at me. He always touches my heart. His smile makes me smile. His tiny touches touch my soul. I would love to stare at him all day."Why do you have to be this handsome, my baby?" I asked him and he just giggled at me.I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Terrence is the name of our baby boy. He loves to giggle everyday. He got his dad's killer smile. I wonder if he would end up being like his father. Roaming all day and night with different girls by his side. If ever that would happen, then that would be my cause of death.Terrence is still 8 months old yet his built looks matured than normal 8 months old baby. He got his features from his dad and the build of his body. I don't know what he got from me. Each day passes by, I can see Peter's features on him more.It has been a year when Peter take over to their company. He is busy most of the time but he always make sure that he get to spend time with u
Cindy's Point of ViewThe smell of cigarettes inhabited my body and alcohol through my system. The chaotic scene of the bar and the different smell of people with alcoholic drinks in their body. The people dancing, swaying their hips to the music, drinking until they can't move anymore because of the alcohol in their system.I turn the glass upside down. It is empty again. Another empty glass yet I can still feel the pain in my heart. I smiled in the air with a bitterness in my fucking heart. What is this? What alcohol could possibly make my heart numb? To not feel any pain again... To stop loving from someone that I know couldn't love me back... To stop myself from hoping... To stop feeling anything...I put my hand up in the air. "Another glass of w-whiskey!" I said but my voice is too low that it could almost whispered into the air.I smiled when I saw another five glasses of whiskey. They are too good at this one. They know how to spot people that are heartbroken and just give th
Peter’s Point of View“Are you sure this is enough? Should I put carpet all over this room? You know, she might slip accidentally and---”“You are becoming a paranoid, man. She is not clumsy and minds you, she didn’t even agree to the setup you are plotting yet. You didn't ask her to stay with you and yet, you are already doing this. She would be furious if she hears that you moved everything of her belongings to your place,” he said. He sat on the bed and I immediately pulled him.“Don’t you dare stain our bed with your sweats! Stand on the corner if you want to rest,” I told him. He chuckled but his face didn’t even smile. What a fucking asshole. “I will be leaving now. Jane requested me to bring her out today. I am going to go. Take care of her you fucking moron,” he said before he went out of the room and closed the door with a force that made me almost jump off at my spot. Fucking asshole.I looked at the place and saw the slight satisfaction from the view. Everything is settled
Tara's Point of View"Do you need anything? Are feeling fine? Do you want some fruits? I can peel some for you, Tara. Is your body hurt? Do you want me to give you a massage?"I stared at Peter. He looks so concerned and worried at the same time. There is not even something to be worried about. He didn't leave since he came here earlier. He just let Cindy left. He didn't even walk her out. He didn't want to leave me.The doctor says I am fine already and I can discharge now but Peter didn't want me to leave and wanted me to stay for another day. He wants me to have my rest here. He doesn't want me to stress about something in Lester's house. "I want burger and fries," I said, almost whispering because I am shy to request something to Peter. I feel like I can't boss him around because of his facial expression. And, it is Lester's fault. He was the one who made me crave for burger and fries and now, I am looking for it every meal time.My mind won't be at ease if I won't eat burger and
Cindy’s Point of View“What are y-you saying?” I asked him.What? Tara is pregnant and Peter is the father? How can it be? Is he really testing my patience with her? If that's what he wants then I will make sure that her child can’t see this fucking world. That child deserves to die and Tara deserves to die! I calm myself down looking at her. You fucking deserve to die, Tara! You shouldn’t be here! I have done enough with you. I can't stand with you anymore. You got Peter's heart and right now? You let yourself be impregnated by him? What kind of friend are you to do that to me? You already know that I love Peter so much yet you still you still give another reason for Peter to stay with you?I looked at Peter and his dark eyes reached into my soul. He didn’t move nor talk but his expression says he is not pleased with everything that is happening right now. I looked at Lester again. I know him by his name and clearly because he is the most aloof in the band.“Peter is the father of m
Tara’s Point of ViewI tried to cover my mouth, tears falling. I felt my heart tighten hearing them, talking about their baby. Cindy is pregnant? He fucking lied to me. I thought they didn’t sleep and right now they are going to have a baby? I thought he didn’t sleep with her? But why? Why did he impregnate her? How can I fucking trust him if he fucking lied to me? “Tara… calm down,” Lester whispered. No. I won’t calm down. How can I be fucking calm down? His eyes met mine and I saw anger in his eyes. “Hush now. Let’s leave them,” he whispered. He is trying to lower his voice, afraid that we might get caught but I don’t fucking care if they will see us.I don't care if ever they will see us here. I just want to know why Peter did it. I just want to hear it from his mouth. I want everything to be heard by him. I don't want to listen to anyone like he did to me. I don't want to listen to them when I can give him time to explain himself because I fucking know how it hurts when you don
Tara’s Point of View“What happened, Lester?” I asked him. He just went home because he went out to buy something and yet he didn't give me some information about Peter. I am waiting for Peter's call but still I didn't receive any calls from him.I can’t reach Peter’s phone. He didn’t answer my calls since last night. I have been worried thinking what happened to him. I couldn't sleep since last night because I have been waiting for him to call me back. I can't close my eyes for even a minute because all I think about is him. He told me that he will give me a call after an hour but I received no calls at all. He is making me worry. He should at least give me some calls or just texts if he couldn't give me some calls so I wouldn't be worried at all. I wonder what happened to him right now.Lester handed me a glass of milk. “Stop thinking about him for a second, Tara. Think of yourself and that little human inside you. Don’t stress yourself out there thinking about him. He is safe so w
Cindy’s Point of ViewI took a peek at him when I heard his light snore. I couldn't help but smile while staring at him. He is sleeping on the sofa and I can clearly see him in his position. I didn’t request another bed because I want him to lay beside me but he didn’t do it. Instead he lay down on that sofa.I wanted to take that sofa away from here as well if only I can. I don't want him to be there because I want him to stay beside me. I want him to accompany me in my sleep. I want his warmth but he doesn't want to be with me.That bitch! What did he do to him that made him like this? Why is he so whipped with her in those three months of being together? Did that fucking bitch do something to him to make him be a fool to her? Did she bewitch him?Well, even if she did something to him. She will still don't have Peter. They still can't be together because Peter will always be mine. She can't have him. She will never ever have him. And I will make sure of that.I stretched my body an
Peter Point of View"How is she? How is my lovely daughter?" A man in suit rushed in. He hurriedly pushed the door and searched for her daughter. His eyes just passed by me. He didn't even ask if who I was. His eyes quickly searched inside the room to look for her daughter.Cindy is sleeping right now. She couldn't sleep without me that's why I need to keep her company while she is here. The doctor said she is fine. I should be glad that I quickly ran her here. The doctor said the cut was too deep and tells me to be careful with her.That's the second reason why I stayed here as well and couldn't leave her. Cindy needs me now. She may be pregnant or not but I need to keep her in my sight. I was the reason who caused her to almost end her life. It is my responsibility to be here.I left my phone in my car. I couldn't go there because Cindy don't want me to leave even a second while she is sleeping. She sleeps so lightly that even my lightest actions could wake her up but this time she
