"Fucking shit! Get me out of here! Damn it!"
"The noise.." I whimpered before opening my eyes.
"Fuck! Let me out of here!" My mouth dropped open before retreating slightly. What is this man doing here? I got up immediately before backing away from him.
"Who are you!?" Startled I said and looked at him in fear. He laughed before looking at me with a sigh. Like he couldn't believe in what I said, I was the one who was confused by his attitude.
"Are you kidding!? Let me out of here!"
"Why would I let you go — Why are you even tied up here!?"
"Ha! I can not believe this! Are you kidding me!?" He rubbed my eyes so my body trembled before taking a deep breath. He struggled with the tie while I was stunned. I remembered what happened but I failed. I don't remember anything.
I was secretly distracted when he shouted at me. "Where's your courage now!? Let me out of here!"
I immediately approached him before quickly releasing him from the shackles of the chair. I was nervous because I could hardly hold the rope tied to him. He helped me remove it when he lost his hands. While releasing him there was only one thing on my mind. What did Devie do again!? I don't know if I'll be happy because this man just got a wound and nothing more.
"I'm really sorry..I didn’t mean to.." I said softly as I cleaned his wound.
"Woah, you didn't mean to? Really!? Do you want to thank you more for that? Tsk."
I went before my mouth was shut. I put away the medicines I used before heading to the kitchen and put them in one of the cabinets. While doing that I still couldn't help but be nervous, what if that man put me in jail? What if he does something bad? at that thought made me even more nervous.
Gradually, the negativity enveloped my system so I forced myself to close my eyes firmly before finally closing the cabinet. Chasing the breath I grabbed the island counter before shaking. "Think positive Hope, just calm down."
When I returned to the living room I found him sitting on the sofa while leaning, his eyes closed so I could observe him freely. With his messy hair, his messy hair is noticeable but he still managed to match his appearance. I shook my head before lowering the food I prepared for him.
"Ahm, eat first." Trembling with nervousness, I was able to speak. I averted my gaze when it opened its eyes.
"Is that really you? There's a miracle really, what's happening to you?"
"W-What do you mean?" I asked weakly as I bent down.
"Do you really not know? That's impossible.." I tightened my grip on my clothes before sighing loudly and bravely looked up at him. I have to get rid of him so I don't hurt him again. Not only that, I’m not comfortable that I’m meeting someone.
"I have DID." I looked him in the eye. His eyes widened before swallow what he was eating so I handed him some water which he immediately accepted.
"Aah.. Damn. You mean?!" I took a deep breath before sighed again.
"DID, Dissociative Identity Disorder."
He gave me a deadpan look before taking a deep breath. "I know .. What I mean is, you're different from the one I met last time!?"
"Y-Yes." He raised his hand so I closed my eyes, will he hurt me? At that thought my fist clenched.
"Damn. That's right. Tsk." He mumbled. I opened my eyes before looking at him in astonishment. He turned to me.
"What are you looking at there?" Wouldn’t he be scared? I took a deep breath.
"N-No.." Weird, he hasn't spoken yet so I just watched what he was doing.
He just eats quietly so I can watch him freely. There was no isolation or even fear of him, I knew that was true and not just pretending. Or maybe he's already planning something so he's so calm. I backed away because of what I thought.
"Don't worry, I won't do what you did — I mean what someone else did." He said coldy before continuing to eat the rice.
I nodded. "O-Okay .."
No one spoke to us anymore so I distracted myself by looking at sesame seeds. Even if he said that it still wouldn't go away without my suspicion of him, it's impossible for him to say that. All my life, no one who has not been scared or incapable has avoided me when they became aware of my condition.
It's either, they'll drive me away or speak ill of me. My fist clenched before bowing. I accept my condition but it's really painful, it's traumatic.
"Are you hungry?"
"Huh?"
"I'm sure you're hungry too. Oh, food. Eat." I was stunned before I couldn't accept what he had shot. I blinked at him. He averted his eyes before leaning back in his seat.
As I chewed the food nothing entered my mind, it was as if I was blank. I will admit, I was surprised. No one fed me or asked if I was hungry. Just him, just this man. I was so bitten on the lower lip before blinking twice.
"This mansion is big. Are you the only one living here?" I was shaken by his question before nodding.
"Really? Hmm, where are your parents? Your family?" I let go of the fork I was holding before putting down the saucer. I was stunned and did not answer. I calmed myself down with that question of his. I closed my eyes tightly before breathing slowly.
I stood up and looked at him. "I'm sorry again no matter what I did, you can leave now." He just looked at me before nodding before standing up.
"Okay," I breathed a sigh of relief at his quick assent. I thought I would have a hard time.
"Damn, by the way what's your name?" The smile disappeared from my lips before I answered. I was already smiling earlier? I looked to the left to avert his gaze.
"Hope.. Hope Quinn." When he did not speak I faced him but what surprised me and the drop of my jaw was what he did.
"Hmm, Hope Quinn ah?" I skipped a beat as he tightened the lift and wrapped around my waist.
I grabbed him by the shoulder and squatted down because he was taller than me. I could feel my heart pounding because of what he did. I immediately turned to him as if I hadn't done it because he was already looking at me.
The two of us hit our eyes and our noses almost came together. My eyes rolled and my mouth dropped open. I thought when my heart beats fast, my other personality will come out again but I was wrong because at the same time as my heart was beating so fast he was applying his lips to mine.
"Theo Zenick Ares.. That's my name." I blinked before looked at him, he was leaving right now.
I faintly sat down on the sofa before being held to my chest. What happened? I was caught on my lip. What did he do? It was too late for me to realize everything. I took a deep breath then eyes widened. "My first kiss.. He took it."
I stared at nothingness and ignored Devie. Another morning and another hope. Is that even true? I shook my head before took a deep sigh. I went to the bedroom and picked up one of my favorite books.'Hope! Why did you release that man!? Tsk.' I stopped reading before taking a deep breath. I slowly went down the stairs and went to the living room."Devie, the noise is your noise. I'm reading so." She had been talking to me before, I was irritated but I could do nothing but be calm.I will not let her come out again. It’s hard when it’s Devie coming out, she does things that are very dangerous. I don’t even know what she did to Theo and why it was tied up when I woke up last time.'I will not stop! I'll annoy you more! Take care of that! I'll be out again! I still want to go out.' I was caught in my head because of what she said."Calm down Hope.." I said slowly but softly.'Me too! I want to go
Dissociative identity disorder (DID) was formerly called multiple personality disorder. It is a mental illness that involves disruptions or breakdowns of memory, awareness, identity and/or perception. The condition is further explained. And that’s what always happens to me, no matter how hard I try to remember what my other personalities have accomplished I can’t.When I woke up, Theo hugged me while my head rested on his chest. I was touched by my hair, as if I could still feel his caress on it. I shook my head, what's happening to me? I gripped my cap tightly and opened the gate."What are you doing here again?!" Shocked, I said. Theo just shrugged in response."Well, it's already lunch..Can I join you?" I looked at him sharply before sighing. No matter how many times I asked him what I or Janna did, he didn't say anything. He always changed the subject."How can you share with me if I don't have food. Look, I'm just goin
While combing my hair I went downstairs, I woke up at noon because Devie and Janna didn't put me to sleep. They keep arguing, good and only minor. It’s hard when the two get serious, I can’t help it.I sighed. "Hmm.. Hmm... Hmm..." I was stunned to smell the fragrant food. My eyebrow knit. "I don't cook. I don't know how to cook either." I quickly walked to the kitchen and I was almost stunned by what I saw. What the heck!? What is he doing."Hey, you woke up at noon ah." In his sarcastic way, he said that. He even asked me to sit at the counter and I was shocked and complied.I blinked before drinking the water. Who wouldn't be surprised at him? He was wearing no top—He's shirtless for goodness sake! And only an apron covering his front. I followed Theo's movements, he was obviously very good at cooking. Not like me, I don't even know how to fry—Even the frozen foods."What are you doing her
Sometimes, crying is the only way your eyes speak when your mouth just can’t explain how broken your heart is. I closed my phone and lay on bed. I looked up before sighing.Devie came out again earlier, it's a good thing Theo didn't come today because something bad might happen to him and I might have another problem. Fortunately, I hid all the locks in the house so that Devie could not get out. It's hard, it's good to be prepared.I lay for a few seconds while just staring at where. Nothing enters my mind. I can’t think of things I should think about. I read a journal earlier— Article for responsibilities and obligations as a person for others.Life is colorful when you have a problem to face and you have a solution to do. Acting to fill tasks and obligations that must be maintained. Responsibilities to follow and dreams to reach. Activities that give meaning to a person’s life, like a color in a book. Signs and lessons to be improved.
"What the.. I don't want to, I won't do it." But when did Theo follow me? I don't know, it's not really the case."Hurry up, don't wore it." I shook my head."You take care of that, I'm not going.""Damn, let's go." He said as if compelled. Stunned, I followed him, bending down as I followed him until we came to an abandoned place.He quietly removed the cover of a car, a motor. I was amazed because of its luster and I can see that he take care of it because you can't see any dirt or scratches.The color of the motor is black and neon which makes it even more beautiful and awesome —eye catcher too. "Hope, meet my bestfriend.. Neo.""Does he have a name?" I whispered while still looking at his motor in amazement. He smiled and nodded and imitated me to touch his motor."Hmm, you'll see. I take good care of my motor. I love Neo more than my life."
"Hey, cheer up!" I said softly to him.We were still walking here above the bridge. There were also people walking like us and happily bonding. Mostly lovers. It was nice when we were passing by now, there were many lanterns shining around.Candles of different colors as the flow of the river below makes our hearing more beautiful and calming. I looked at the one next to me, I don't know where we are going.I can't ask him because he is in deep thought. Secret, I gasped. He still seems to be thinking about what happened earlier."Where are we going Theo?" I said softly as I watched our path. Finally, I got his attention."Hmm?" I imitated him as well."What 'hmm?" His smile slipped on his lips so I didn't feel like it, he really wanted to like me when I was pissed."You're cute.""I'm not cute.""So adorable too, can you
"Where I am?" I asked myself as I looked around."You shameless woman! The strength of your loon to fool me!" That voice! Dad! I immediately felt the trembling of my body. The trembling of my chest grew stronger at the same time as dad came down with mom. Even if the faces were blurred they are but I know they are my parents."Ahh! Shan! Let go of me!" I wanted to run but my legs seemed to be statuesque. My body didn't want to follow my wishes. Stop! I don't want this! Why am I here! I sighed when I saw dad dragging mom down the stairs."M-Mom... Mom.." I felt weak, my fist clenched especially when dad suddenly left mom who was now lying on the floor due to falling down the stairs. Dad went to a room, when I was young—That's my room! My eyes widened, I can't! I don't want to! I don't want to be here anymore! I was caught in my ear when I heard the very cry of my younger self."You child! Come here! Hurry
I just stared at him as he continued to treat my wounds. He slowly cleaned it while staring at me as if just a little mistake would hurt me.I secretly swallowed, as if something had touched my heart with what he was doing. I feel warmth and care that made my heart beat so fast. I shook my head before removing his grip on my arm."You don't have to do that." I said softly as I glanced at my reddened and fresh wounds."Let me heal your wounds Hope." Gently but firmly he said but I just shook my head."Don't, you don't have to." I stood up on the bed but I also sat up immediately when he gently pulled my arm without injury.I looked at him badly. When he saw what I looked like he sat down next to me. He sighed. "Tsk, don't scold me. Okay? Just leave me alone and let me do this.""Okay!" I let him heal my wound, even though I could feel the electricity flowing through each w
"What are they going to do?" I asked Chia, they turned to me before shrugging their shoulders."Just watch them, now I'll see them together again against the three monkeys on the other side." Lyre said while smirking. She sat next to me. of Chia, while Lei is on my left. Chia is next to me.We are now sitting four in the bleachers, third in a circle of fifteen rows. field. The field is very wide, the man also screens every route that each racer will take. There is also a large timer that is elongated at the top in the middle."Monkey? Who's the monkey?" Knitting when I asked, the two of them didn't hear what I asked because they were busy watching around.Chia stared at me with a 'Are you serious' look. I nodded at her that made her sigh in defeat. "Well, the three monkeys which Lyre refers to is the adversary of my beloved -- I mean in our fellow men.""Is that so? Those three who
"W-Where are we going?" I said annoyed as I adjusted the cap I was wearing."Just, come on. Put on this helmet and hold on tight to me." Theo said before handing me the black helmet. It's fun that the helmets we're wearing are almost the same design and color."Hold on tight babe, you still have to answer me." He said in a weak whisper so I nodded but hime, his lips turn grinned."What answer are you saying there? Are you flirting? Nor courting?""Is that even necessary? Just admit it, let's go right away. We can be official just tell me your feelings.""Air banded!" I slowly utter but he just chuckled."Oh 'come on Hope, just be honest with me and tell me you like me too." The motor we were riding in moved when he opened it until he turned to get into the lane.I clung so tightly to his shoulder. I could see the reflection of a smile on his lips. After a few

Chasing my breath, I woke up lying down before being held to my chest. The strength of my heartbeat and tires messed up my mind. Sweat was dripping down my forehead so I was so weak I clung to the pillow by my side."Ha.. Ha.. Haa.." My deep breaths didn't sound as good. The tears in my eyes were incessantly dripping along with the trembling of my hands. I raised it s ere and clenched my fist. What is happening to me? I felt weak and overwhelmed with the energy used."H-Hope..?" Slowly I looked up at Theo who was also looking up at me. His head rested on the side of my bed as if asleep."Hope! Are you okay? Are you in pain? Are you just waking up? Are you hungry? Thirsty? What? Do you need anything?" He even held me by the shoulder to get my attention.I stared into his eyes, his face full of worry. What did he like about me? I calmed myself before just watching every reaction of his face. Un
"Ahm, I'm going upstairs." I said and immediately stood up. I couldn't hold his gaze, I breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't follow me."Hope!" My eyes widened when I felt his arm on my shoulder. I felt like a statue especially when he gently pulled me to sit on the sofa."W-What are you doing?" None of my own question and slowly looked up at him."What am I doing? Nothing, why am I doing something?" I glared at him but he just shrugged."I'm going up.. Let me go.""What? We're still talking." He said.My forehead furrowed. "Huh? We're not talking about anything.""Yes, let's start now?""What are we going to talk about?" He eased his embrace so I immediately walked away from him. He laughed at what I did and rubbed my cheek. .I ignored that until he looked at me."Hmm.. You know that I like you rig
Annoyed I looked to the right before going horizontally, I couldn’t sleep especially I had someone next to me now. I sighed again before closing my eyes tightly and trying to continue sleeping but when did I win myself over? I do not know."I want to sleep but why can't I feel sleepy?" I whispered in the air before being shaken.Eventually I found myself facing the person next to me, who was right horizontally in front of me. I was especially stunned when Theo's lips moved and made a weak snore.I then remembered what he did before, while I was supporting him horizontally he suddenly pulled me. I immediately sank into his massive chest so I immediately looked up at him to rebuke him.But the movements of his arm were too fast because it suddenly wrapped around my waist and even pressed the hug on me. It was as if I was squeezing before so I tried to get away but even though he was asleep he w
"What's your name?" I suddenly asked because we've been talking here but I still don't know his name.He stopped wearing his helmet and then looked at me with a smile. "Jordan ma'am." His forehead furrowed. I turned to him."Hope is my name, not ma'am." He laughed before shaking his head."I prefer ma'am, Hope." I shrugged before drinking the water."If you say so..""I'm leaving ma'am, later my bosses will be looking for me." I glanced at the wall clock, it's been an hour and we've been talking for more than a minute."Yes, I don't even know the time. I'll bring you to the gate." I said that he didn't refuse.As we walked, I couldn't help but laugh and rejoice at what he was telling me. Its all about his antics and his family. The fun he had while telling the story, I couldn't help but be jealous. I wish I was lik
I looked again at the telephone next to the table. To my recollection, Theo customized that in case there was an emergency here at home so he could be called. Right, I might use it.I slowly stood up and held the phone then sighed, the question is will anyone answer? This is automatic, the person you call will immediately know that the caller is from Quinn residence.Everyone knows the last name Quinn, I don’t know why but I know they know it. Not because they admire or look up to the last name Quinn—It's because they were mad at that surname. I don't know whay, It's not that I like to go out. It's also not my nature to bring things up.I don't care what they say, even me I don't want to think because I don't want to have any more problems. I was shaken before taking a deep breath. Simultaneously with the ringing of my stomach was also the ringing of the phone I was holding."Aww, I'm really hu
When I opened my eyes, I feel the sunlight hitting my face. I immediately stood up and opened the balcony, the curtain that covered it. I yawned loudly before looking at the sky and the views outside.I can see here the big houses, and the parks. Birds chasing the sky and above all the breeze of nature. I immediately went to the bathroom and took a shower. I brushed first as usual before coming out of the robe. I opened the closet before choosing clothes to wear, I was secretly shaken by my clothes here.Concentrated dark color and concentrated shirt, jacket, jeans and leggings. I chose a black shirt and black jeans before putting on my underwear then looked in the mirror. As usual I just combed my hair a little before going down, I was stunned not to hear the noise I was used to hearing.I was out of breath, of course. Theo hasn't come back yet, how many days has he been gone? I was shaken before heading to th
