NORA

It was as though we were in a staring contest.

His eyes were hues of pleads while mine had roams of anger in them. I was going to chase him away until Theodore came and convinced me to hear him out - I wasn’t expecting that.

And now I have no choice than to stand face to face with him, arms crossed, angrily waiting for him to speak up so I can go back inside. The fact he came here after what he had done, upsets me.

“I’m sorry.” He tendered, and I almost scoffed. It’s good he knows what he did, but I am sorry, I am not fazed.

“If you’re done, tell me. It’s kind of cold outside, I have to get inside.” Not even a shrill of cold was touching me, there wasn’t even one to begin with. It’s my need to be out of here speaking.

“Here.” Before I knew it, he was offering me his leather jacket. My hand inched out to take it but it kept freezing in the air. I have always had eyes on this certain jacket, I wish to just grab it from him now that the chance is here but who knows.

    NORAI planted at the back of my mind that once I accept his apology, there would be no going back. Which motivated me to walk right past him and this time, he followed. “Would you please listen to what I have to say?” He sounded frustrated but I remain unbothered. “There should be no other reason to come after me. Let’s rather not waste each other’s time.” I objected and I almost cussed at myself when my stomach broke into an hungry growl. Right to his hearing! “I heard that.” His voice shoot forward before I was able to convince him. “No, you didn’t.” I murmured, almost to myself alone. I let out a discrete sigh at the awkwardness I had caused when I ought to have just gone my way. I figured it wasn’t too late, I took steps forward and was barely anywhere when he grabbed unto my hand.“Let’s grab some food.” He peered at me expectantly and what I first did was snatch my hand from his. “And why should I come for a mean with you?” As I cornered him once again, I beared the hunge

    JORDAN This week, I was met with the biggest challenges I have ever had to face. Having to go against Sawyer was the biggest of them all. I never meant to leave the signed agreement stranded but when I witnessed the date Nora went with an unknown guy, her brother also in attendance with some girl, a part of my heart clenched and I realized how much hard it was to withhold my jealousy. Even though we never spoke, no day goes by without me at her house to see how well she’s coping with the situation. But then I lost it when I saw her enter the dude’s car and went on a date with him. I went after them and bottled up my anger, and left the scenery in full outrage as it was all too unbearable to watch. I left, with the knowledge my patience could snap at any moment. “You denied not liking her, J. Why then are you this furious?” I heard from Rodney and I stopped pacing for a minute to glare heatedly at him. He sure knows how to hit a nerve.“Don’t say what you don’t know.” I warned i

    NORA If these was a nightmare, it would be the most blissful one ever. There are times when one’s expectancy can never be met, now I can proudly saw I am one of the few people whose hope was restored. It was so unexpected. His proposal alone took my breathe away talk more of the roses in his hand. He expressed this wasn’t the type I could be wishing for but if only he knows simplicity is the best I appreciate. The glamorous would only put us in trouble. I was clearly stunned and judging by the way my mouth stayed still, no sound came out of it. Only when Natalie nudged me did I recover my brain. “Accepted.” I surprised myself by saying, my words barely above a whisper. Still in awe how I had manage to remember how exactly he proposed to me. Damn it, I have to get home real quick and pen it all down. Hopefully I should get a print of it and have it framed into many pieces. Forever shall I adore it. Honestly, he looked bothered even as I accepted. He’s still worried he didn’t do

    NORAThe way he claimed my lips were different this time. It was in a rapt slow motion, he took the time to take all my lips in before heightening the pace, my hands desperately in search of something to cling unto. The moment he intertwined our mouth completely, I lost it and damn it, I threw my hand in his hair, grabbing a fistful while one of his arm wrapped around my hip to edge me closer. No way can come between us having this quickie. He shoved his lips down my throat, and I turned my eyes closed, the needy pulse in my downward pulse area strengthening more and more. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and it was barely a second later when he gently placed me on one of the nearest counter. With a peek, I confirmed the door was indeed locked before I gave in and once more, our lips crashed together at the same time. His touch alone was enough to make my inner remake, and the way he tilted my jaw up to get better access to trail soft kisses down my neck, it caused my breast

    LUCAN“How dare you?!” She bellowed just after striking my face with a thunderous slap, my face jerking to the other side. I dare not retaliate but hell, it stings, a lot. Had I known the picture was in an open space in my bag, I wouldn’t have her come over to pick my bag up. No, I wouldn’t have if I was in the right senses to not forget anything could happen inasmuch as she carries my bag, anything could happen. But here I am loss of word. With no excuses to give. I made quite a lot from Liam that backing out was impossible no matter how much I truly convinced myself. If my secret wasn't let out too soon but rather in months, I would have made quite a fortune.It had to be today, and it was possibly fate's way of telling me I have done enough. “Let’s go, Natelie.” She caught her hand in order for them to storm away together but unlike her, Natalie doesn’t want to get away real quick. “No, wait.” She bought herself some time and came forward, after Nora had agreed. “I always kne

    NORAI walked home, without the four wheels of my car. Lucan’s last revelation kept messing up with my unstable thoughts. Even with all the pictures that termed Liam as who had sent Lucan, I still had some benefit of doubt down there in my heart for him. If I was rather told it was Theodore who had placed tab on me, I wouldn’t even argue. Why? Because my full trust was never placed on him. Liam went above my expectations. If there was anyone my instinct were pointing at, it happened to be my parents because I wouldn’t put it above them. If I was asked, I would say Liam was getting those pictures he do use to threaten me away from Jordan from my parents. Like a tornado, the complete opposite came crashing to my face. Throughout the week, I exchanged no words with Liam because I made sure of it; it was with rapt resolution that I made sure I never cross ways with him. The only thing keeping me sane at such situation was my therapist in the form of a boyfriend- Jordan. I no longer

    LUCANI saw hell in Cassidy’s hand. She pleaded with me to spend some weeks in my house- whereas nothing was wrong with hers. I didn’t let her, and I indeed explained to her I live with my parents.She agreed but made me walk barefooted through hell. Not until today did she cool down. Since the examination for today was starting by noon, I left for a store. I had to sneak out of school, else, she would follow.I stood in front of the jewelry display, overwhelmed by the number of options. Gold, silver, rose gold - there were so many different types of necklaces. I have never had a reason to be at a jewelry store until today. And I witnessed and indeed felt the confusion of deciding between one or the other. I picked up one that looked delicate and feminine, but then I spotted a bolder piece that caught my eye. I hesitated, not sure which one would be best. I knew it had to be perfect, but there were just too many choices. I am so dumb to proceed here without finding out what her c

    JORDAN“Shut the hell up, you both. It was barely a week we started dating, what do you mean by I might have done something wrong?” My eyes aggressively followed my two friends as they stepped out of the bedroom together. They have both kept blabbering nonsense that does nothing that to make me more upset. This was the argument that has been going on for hours now. No matter how much I explain or how long I use convincing them, they just wouldn't believe I was painstakingly telling the truth. And now, don’t tell me they were both in the shower together? “Tell me it’s not what I am thinking…” Curiousity configured me, leaving the earlier discussion in the air, as I stared from one to the other. They have both stopped and fortunately didn’t let my inquisitively heighten before they both surrendered their hands in the air.“Not what you’re thinking.” It better not. My eyes darted towards the steamy caffeinated coffee goodness ahead on the counter, just what I needed. I haven’t been

    Third Person’s Pov{Seven Years Later}“Do you know who my mother is?” Sky blue-eyed golden curls, Caily leapt on her feet, screeching.“No, you! Do you know who my father is?!” Aged five deep brown-eyed Nico with a mass of tousled dark curls boomed across the field, running unscathed to shelter the door. “Do you know who my daughter is?” Spencer challenged the two kids, stepping out of his car to squint his eyes at them, taking their sights in. Their resemblance was what alarmed him first. Nora had informed him at the jail five years ago she gave birth to a baby boy and four years ago too, that she’s already pregnant with a baby girl just a month after giving birth. It was risky but he remembered giving her his blessings. These can’t be his daughters bearing. They look too handsome and pretty for a child— the girl taking after her mother and the eldest, the boy taking after the father. “Who’s your daughter here, sir?” Caily’s pouty face turned serious. “We happen to know our pa

    NORA {College, Three Years Later} Stony Brook University. Just the asignsment alone drives me crazy. I don’t have a choice. I became pretty much popular after my father’s scandal three years ago and luckily, people didn’t treat me bad because of that. Instead, they placed burdens on my shoulders. No events comes without me been among its planners, and you don’t speak of the teachers’ favorite without including me. I never thought I was going to experience such privilege in my life, even though it was so exhausting. Somehow, I have managed through three of my years here, left with just one year and I will be free. The fact that mostly half of the school would miss me not enough to encourage me to fail my last exam, and lag behind just to continue staying with them. “How are you able to read and write in such a noisy atmosphere as this?” When my roommate, Alice, came in, that was the first thing she asked me. “The fear of failure kept me going. Then again…” I hit my pe

    JORDANAfter the night spent with Nora two days ago, I told her we should schedule our next meeting for when I have spoken with my mother. I want to introduce them to each other. I want my mother to see the girl that captured my heart. My mother and her boyfriend are somewhere around New York, and ever since she told me of their address, I never had the chance to visit them. Until now. The taste of calling him my mother’s boyfriend remained bitter on my lips. They better get married, being her husband would make far more better meaning. “You didn’t tell me beforehand you’re coming.” Was the first thing my mother said when she saw me at her doorstep. It’s a rented apartment meanwhile she gave me an owned bigger one, bought in my name. Where would I have been by now? At my friends’. Embarrassing. “You want me to go back?” I carefully asked before stepping insude. She shook her head and let me in. She walked me around the house and the only impressive thing about it was the big

    NORA‘He’s leaving the country.’ Early in the next morning after I barely managed to sleep, the text woke me up. I don’t step out of the house without taking my bath but it was so tempting to do it for the first time. What stopped me was the bad smell drifting from me that would discourage Jordan even if he eventually decide to take me back. I took my bath but it was snappy, the shortest I have ever spent inside the bathroom. I didn’t get to make choices from my closet. I opted for the first one my hand reached. I knew first impression was everything but this wasn’t the first time Jordan would see me and then, I still remember him telling me how beautiful I look even without trying. “Where to?” It caught me by surprise that Liam was at home then it dawned on me it's Saturday. I wanted to turn around and just go back to my room but it's more scary not trying.“Jordan’s.” I responded. I waited for him to stop me from moving or even go as far as locking the door. I won't put it p

    NORAA Month LaterI haven’t even applied to any college. It’s been a month of me constantly locking myself in my room, each time I go out only happening because I need to take my meals. My life has been upside down. A month of heavy changes in our family— my father no longer being the prime minister, my mother still forming enmity with us and her children. And above all, Jordan still not wanting to see me. Or should I say I don’t even know his whereabouts? Theodore kept checking up on me, not understanding I don’t want him here, not anywhere close to me. I don’t want to see anybody. I have tried chasing him off but he won’t leave. I know it’s Liam’s handiwork, thinking Theodore can get me to leave the walls of my room. He's a good guy though. He's not considering my behavior though I am trying to change towards him. If I don't want to remain a loner.Over the month, I went to the jail to check on my father and unlike what I expected of him, he didn’t chase me away. I told him o

    LUCAN“No, you’re staying here with us.”I’m instantly on edge, tensed beneath my parents probing gaze. My decision to corner them before leaving for work, failing woefully. “I have nothing doing here.” I again try to persuade. “No, you have school here. Your resumption is barely two weeks away.” My father interjected this time, again turning the dice on me. Cassidy’s burial was just yesterday, and I am already fed up staying at New York. Everything reminds me of her, her memories too disturbing for me to live with.I don’t even get myself. If I ever want to, I need to vacate to another country. The problem now been my unyielding parents. If I ever want anything from them, what I know so far was how I have to work my way for it, by persuading then like there's no tomorrow.“You are capable of transferring schools for me. I’m tired of NY, I just want to change location. Nothing else, I promise.” I’m being wise. Staying here, I won’t even be able to mind my studies, everywhere I g

    Third Person’s Pov{Feelings At The Burial}Mere looking at the casket being lowered to the ground almost had Jordan tearing up. The fact that ought to be him and not Cassidy, has his brain on a pause, discarding every other thoughts. If only he was in the right sense to chase after Jasper that day. With his own very hands, they would have killed him away, accepting to live the rest of his lives in jail. Then he saw his mother. The person who has been long murdered by the two devilish husband and wife. He wanted to go to her, to check if he was seeing the reality but the dead body in his arms was much more worthy than running after the woman who abandoned him. If she wasn’t dead, she should have came for him but that was a now. She left him with her heartless ex husband to witness nemesis. And when he saw Nora at the Ford’s, the fear of rejection once again appeared before his face. He’s still dealing with a loss, having her come to tell him they can’t work would be another bruis

    A Week LaterNORAThere’s going to be a burial, for Cassidy. The burial is going to take place at the Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn.Together with Natalie, we are going to be visiting her family first to offer our condolences before we all head to the Cemetery. The school announced her death about five days ago through the school news portal, since the school has been on break. A few were saddened, most were gladdened receiving their freedom. I almost felt like punching holes in their faces whenever one or two of their disheartening comments popped up but I’d just injure myself by punching my phone. It would have been better face-to-face. How can people be so cruel? A little sympathy even if they don’t mean it most definitely won’t hurt a fly.The Ford’s family are rich, even if it looks average. The security guard must be having a tough time opening and shutting the door, for the numerous visitors. “They’re inside.” He directed us and I gave him a nod. A little more and I’d for

    NORAYou want to know that one time I feel like jumping over a cliff? The moment I ran to the scene, and got there only when the deed was done. Fate didn’t even give me the chance to be in her stead. You think I wouldn’t in a blink? I would. What use was life to me before? Nothing. The guy I want, I can never get. I got him, I must not stay. Now what? If anybody doesn’t, I’m going to make sure Jasper regrets the ruin he caused. I’m angry, I feel annoyed, I want to drag my nails over my face. Cassidy fucking died! She was murdered. I saw her being rushed into the ambulance in cold blood and my body lost all blood. How can a father be so insane to go as far as killing his own son? If not to get out of prison, then I wonder what his motive was. And my father? I don’t know how else to say he’s in trouble.To be frank, Jordan didn’t even want to speak with me. I remembered running towards him, where he was on the floor wailing, and it was unexpected when he totally ignored me befo
