The Last Cinderella Chapter 23: I Love You's
My heart is at ease. Honestly, I really thank Milo for personally coming to me and telling me all the facts that I needed to hear. Truth be told, I almost believed what Tybalt has told me. As much as I don't want to, I couldn't help but think Milo probably doesn't really feel the same toward me. But with what he did, now I know, our feelings are mutual. Milo stepped on the break as the car stops just in front of the school's gate, with Harry immediately getting out and dragging me along with him. "Come on, Lorien! Hurry!" He squeaks; he must be really excited about coming back to school. Rolling my eyes up and getting myself closer to Harry, but before we could go inside the campus, Milo called the both of us. These twins turned their heads around to look at the blonde. "What is it?" We, twins, asked in unison. "Twins," he muttered which made Harry and I look at each other, "Anyway.. I'l

To be dreaming about having your favorite coffee and watching people pass by you, and the world just feels okay... I am living my life the right way.But-"Wake up, baby. Come on honey, up, up, up!""Mhm?" I mutter, rubbing my eyes before rolling to my back. There is my mother, standing at the feet of my bed. "Saturday no school," my eyes closed shut."But your boyfriend's here."I covered up myself with my blanket and answered mom with a raspy voice. "Tell him to come back later, I'm still sleeping. And I was having my coffee!"I could hear mom letting out a sigh before leaving my room. A breath of relief as I try to go back to sleep and continue my dream, but then someone pulled the blanket off of me."What the heck?" My body springs up straight and see my boyfriend standing in front of me with an attractive smirk lining up on his beautiful face."Oh, would you look at that? Sl

Odette and Milo....Milo and Odette....Odette with Milo...They were kissing.I kept on running, even though my eyes were both clouded up with tears and everything looks blurry.. it did not stop me. I feel so weak that I could pass out any minute...I thought he was missing me?I thought that he wanted to spend time with me?So why was he with her?I thought he was all about me?I thought it was me?So why was she the one in his arms?"Lorien!"It was muffled but I know someone was screaming out my name."Lorien!"I could not recognize the voice, but I really wish it is not him. I don't want him to see me like this.. I don't want anyone to see me in this condition..But suddenly, I was knocked over the g

11: 34 PMI turn to my left with eyes closed.12:54 AMI laid on my stomach with my eyes shut tight; face down and buried on the pillow.3:15 AMI flipped myself and had a two-minute staring game with the ceiling. Gah, I cannot sleep! But this is not new at all.. I have read a few novels and watched a few series wherein the main character had broken up with the one that they loved, and from there, they have had sleepless nights.Milo and I have broken up. I was the one who ended it. I was the one who wanted it to happen. I may regret it but all I did was save myself. I wanted to save myself from the pain and my heart from being torn into pieces. But I was wrong.. breaking up with him did not save me. In fact, it broke me twice as hard. I thought that if I break up with him, I wouldn't be able to feel pain anymore. But no, doing that just made me feel a lot more pa

Last bell.School is finally over. Although it really helps me to forget about what happened, school is still school - boring.I am now on my way home. I'm neither with Tybalt nor Harry; I have to hide myself from them first, for like ten minutes, so they would think I've already left before they decided to leave. I really want to be alone for today.. it is time for me to let everything sink in and accept all that happened.I was walking, it is nearly six and I didn't realize myself that I ended up here, where Harry has taken me with his brother, Milo. We were all good friends.. everything was fine until I realized I was falling in love with Milo.I sighed. The sun was going down, but I couldn't feel anything. Just like I thought, the feeling is so different when you watch moments like this with somebody. The time when I was here with Milo and Harry, I felt really happy. Yesterday too, when I was

"I am asking you to reconsider. I want you to think about it carefully before you give me an answer, Lorien.""Tyb-""We'll talk about this later after school."I am left here, entirely puzzled and dazed.Okay, can we just.... think about all that happened?Let's start from the beginning, Lorien. Refresh your mind and take it all in.I met Zenith - the pride of my city -, eventually, they became my goodgood friends and I joined them on tour. Tybalt and I barely talked, I honestly thought he was completely unaware of me. Suddenly... Milo confessed to me and told me he loves me. Tybalt, then, came up and warned me about falling in love with his own brother. But I liked Milo as well so I did not care, and him and I became boyfriend and girlfriend. But then Odette decided to come into the picture; they kissed and I saw so now everything is over. Soon after that,

"I love you.. won't you give us another chance?"I wonder..."Can't we start all over again?"I wonder... if saying yes and giving him another chance will make me happy?"Lorien? Is that you?"If Tybalt did not interrupt, I wonder what his reaction would be if it was said.. I love Milo. That's what I was trying to say at that time, if only Tybalt did not come.But then again, I.. I couldn't say it.Why couldn't I? It is clear to me that the one I love is Milo.. but when Tybalt looked at me, I couldn't speak. I couldn't say I'm choosing his brother.. was it guilt? A few days ago, Tybalt told me about his feelings for me. Was that the reason why I paused? Plus, when Milo told his brother how sure he was that it was him that I love, Tybalt's hand tighten around mine. It did not hurt though, but I felt that I did not want to hurt him

Just me and Tybalt?My heart then began to race, sweat trailing down my back before wiping off the liquid of my hand to my shirt. Gosh, what do I do?"It's fine, you can do that, we can just watch a movie here. No worries, we'll tell your mom where you two were off to, so do not think about it too much." Romeo smirks, leaning his head back to the wall with his eyes on the big TV screen."Thanks guys," I hear Tybalt mumble as my eyes shot right at him big and wide, obviously wishing for him to get the message and change his mind and stay here.But Tybalt opens the front door and signalled me to get outside and he follows after. As much as I wanted to escape and wish for this not to happen, Tybalt deserves a proper answer from me.***The trees are swaying by the wind, it is quite chilly for today, huh.

The Last Cinderella Chapter 52: Universe
It has been two weeks since the last time Tybalt and I have seen each other. Although he's sending me texts, calling me.. none of those can ever compare if I see him. I really miss him. He even shows up to my dreams sometimes at night, but the situation there is not much any different than what we have now in reality— Tybalt and I cannot be together. The dreams would always end in him, walking away from me. It scares me so much.. as much as I don't want to think about it, but what if Tybalt really chooses to leave me? I am aware of how much difficult and hard this is, not just for me but for the both of us. Thanks to these people chasing me around, we cannot meet in secret. Plus, I always had to call Milo whenever I leave my home, because that's what Tybalt told me. I wonder if Milo is irritated with me, for always dragging him along. Also, the articles that were going around the internet about me and Milo were all taken down. It is all thanks to the power of their father. I am gratef
The Last Cinderella Chapter 51: Milo
First thing I saw this morning was a text message from Lorien— my fianceé. I could not help but feel giddy and excited inside. It had been such a while since she had sent me a text. Hi Mi. I know it is still too early and you're sleeping, but could you drive me to school today? I'm sorry to ask you but I do not feel safe outside. A bunch of reporters had camped outside of my house.My eyes widen in shock. These people really... I never imagined them doing this to Lorien. This could be because of me. If only my father hadn't broadcasted to the world my proposal to her that night, this wouldn't happen. Lorien could still live the same way her life had always been. I feel guilty. And I truly hate the fact that I am happy that she's asking for my help.. she cannot be seen in the public with Tybalt, or else that will cause a huge scene. Lorien could get in trouble if they get caught meeting in secret. This is why she is turning to me.. I don't hate it. It makes me happy but hey, I am just
The Last Cinderella Chapter 50: Wait For Me
"Hello?" It is four-twenty in the morning. I decided to call my 'fiancé' to ask for his help. If his idea ever works, then I would be free from this arrangement as early as possible. My dad is really wrong for wanting to control my life and do everything in his way. Milo is on the other end, I am not surprised to know that he is still awake at this hour. "Can you help me?" "Anything, babe. What is it?" "Let's end this arrangement, Mi. I want to go back to your brother.. please.." There was silence, for a moment I thought he had ended the call but no. I could hear him breathing. That must have hurt him.. he just confessed that he still has feelings for me and here I am, begging him to help me get back in the arms of another man — his brother. "Tybalt had requested for you to stay as my fianceé, didn't he?" That is right.. I nearly forgot about what Tybalt has asked of me. I really don't get it though, why do I have to stay as his brother's fiancé while he finds for a way to break
The Last Cinderella Chapter 49: Where Has My Daddy Gone?
The door clicks behind me as I get my shoes off, finding my mother seated on the sofa. My dry throat craves for water, Mom notices me walking around the room. "You're back a little late, honey. Where have you been?" "Oh.. just stopped by, you know, somewhere. I wanted to take some air." My feet run to the stairs but mother stopped me by asking a question. "Have you heard from your teacher?" "How you called into my school to say you're dropping me out?""Lorien..""Mother, do you realize what you guys are doing? You are basically taking away my life. Is this what you think is the best for me?" "I've tried talking it out with your father, sweetheart, but he just never listens.. you know how he is.." "Mom, couldn't you try harder? Please.. I don't want to get to the point where I'm gonna think it was best when he wasn't here." ***The sound of my alarm woke me up, only to get reminded of the fact that I am now a drop out and will soon begin the life of a homeschooled student. Befo
The Last Cinderella Chapter 48: Request
"Daniel, Mr. Seo is asking for you.""Yeah.. thanks." It is not even past lunch yet, and the teacher is already wanting to see me. I don't think that I have done something against the classroom or school rules though, why is Mr. Seo finding for me? "Hey," The boy beside me throws an arm over my shoulders. "are you okay? You've been wearing that expression for days. Is this because of your engagement with Milo?" "Shush! Don't talk about that, Harry! Can't you see it's a very sensitive topic?" I cannot give them the same energy back, and it has been days, what Harry said was true. For one, am truly bothered with my engagement with Milo; and two, Tybalt has not been replying to me nor answering any of my calls. I really want to talk to him.. badly want to see him.. but it seems as though he does not care about this too much. Your girlfriend is getting married with somebody else, to make it worse it is with your brother, yet you are not doing anything about it. I get that he is upset,
The Last Cinderella Chapter 47: What Lies Behind the Lies
"Lorien, I ask you to marry me." Milo kneels to the ground, right hand digging into his pocket and then pulled out a diamond ring. My head turned up once more but Tybalt has already gone, my eyes laid down on my parents, father was mouthing for me to say yes and accept Milo's proposal. Flashes of what I think are hundred cameras surround the both of us, and this no doubt, is being aired live on TV. Milo remains on that position with hopeful eyes, the words he told me earlier plays like a broken record and I just cannot humiliate him here. People already have been hating me for dating him in secret, I cannot add up more to that. "Are you getting this?" "Is the camera rolling?" "We're live, aren't we?" My shaking right hand comes forward, as Milo's face lights up with glee and carefully slides the ring down my finger. His strong arms pulled me into his chest as the crowd begins to roar. This choice was mine. I should not blame anybody for this. ***"Here you are." Milo breaks the
The Last Cinderella Chapter 46: AFFAIR
"What color do you think would go with your dress?" mother asks, showing me two shades of lipstick with a smile across her face. Today, I am getting ready for my and Milo's engagement party. Tybalt has been avoiding since the announcement, calling him on his cell never worked once. I can understand though. If I learned that my boyfriend is going to get engaged to another girl, I would be acting the same as him. However, it is just really sad how he tries his best to reject me. "Honey.. I know it's hard. But I need you to bear with this for a little longer." Mom rests her warm hand over my shoulder while I relieve a sigh. "Milo doesn't want to do this either, does he? I'm pretty sure he'll call this off in an instant." "I don't know, mom.." My feet pace around the room, fingernails in between my teeth before running a hand through my hair. "Tybalt hasn't been answering any of my calls. It's making my anxiety worse, and Milo... he doesn't seem to be against of this engagement.""What
The Last Cinderella Chapter 45: Business Proposal (2)
The loud banging on my bedroom's door woke me up. I checked the time on the clock, 6:45 in the morning. "I told you we'll be leaving early today!" My father yells from the other side. The day has not even started, and yet my mood is sour already. "I want to see you downstairs in ten minutes!" The knocking disappears along with his heavy footsteps. Throwing a towel over my shoulder, I get inside the shower and wore whatever I got from the cabinet. Milo and I already knew each other, what's the point of dressing up? He'll be okay if I wear jeans and a shirt. "Oh Lorien...— what are you wearing!?" my mother exclaims, looking over her shoulder and pulls me back into my room. "You can't wear this! You'll be meeting—""Don't we already know each other? Milo won't be bothered." "Your dad is not going to let you leave like this! Please, do not anger him any more. He's already like this because he knows for a fact that you're against of this engagement." I raise a brow. "Oh, am I? Gosh.. I
The Last Cinderella Chapter 44: Business Proposal
"Hey!" Harry pops in front of me without warning, making me jump as he throws a shoulder on me. "What do you say, we stop and grab a bite on the way home?" "Is there never a time that you are not hungry, Harold?" "Yes, apparently, Miss Gilbert. Now why don't we go, hm? My stomach is grumbling." The vibration from my pocket is not stopping. Pulling out my cell, it is a message from Milo. He has been sending me texts and even started calling me, whatever his reason is, I do not wish to hear. Everything between us has already been settled. Does he not have Odette? Why is he being like this all of a sudden? "Lorien?" "Yeah?" Harry is holding out the car door, I realize he was waiting for me to hop in. "You coming?""May... I'll pass today, guys."Evette's head pops out through the window. "Is something wrong? Are you okay?" I nodded. "Yeah! I'm fine! There's just... My mom asked me to go to the supermarket for her today. We're out of tissue paper. I'm really sorry." "Okay then, be
