Chapter 38: I See You
Last Updated:
2022-03-30 22:02:30It is a beautiful Sunday morning. My watch says it is 6:35 AM, and the perfect time for me to take a walk and relax. I need this, too, sometimes, you know? There is a lot going on my mind right now, but today I just want to shut it all off and live for a moment.. I deserve this. We all do.
But time passes by so fast, and my watch says it is already 8:45. The sun feels good on my skin, I would love to keep on going, but my stomach is growling like a hungry dragon. And so I went to the nearest coffee shop in the neighborhood, deciding to have my breakfast there before heading back home.
"One macchiato and giant waffle," the lady gives me a final smile as I turn against her and quickly sat when I found a vacant table. There really is nothing more greater for breakfast than coffee! The phone from my pocket then starts to vibrate, I knew it is Tybalt but his messages are honestly something that I always look forward to. It really brightens up my mood.

The bell rings as I close the door from my locker. Witha sigh, my feet pace back into the classroom as I get my textbooks close to my chest. My hand dives in to the pocket of my jacket, clasping the cellphone from the inside I pull it out. There is no new messages nor calls, Tybalt did pick me up this morning but he has not texted me after dropping me off. And I still haven't talked with him about that teddy bear.. bringing it up to anybody isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Only Harry and Eve are the ones who know about the stuff toy, if I talk about it with Tybalt now, I'm scared he might get mad at me for taking my time telling him I'd received a teddy bear as well as a note from a stranger, or as Harry and Eve would say, secret admirer. This is killing me, and really serious. Who, in their right state of mind, would give somebody a toy with a hidden camera? Does that mean.. they have been watching me these days? But who? Why? I don't remember fighting wi

"Hey..." my voice came as sweet and soft as I speak to the phone. Tybalt is on the other end, he had asked to take me out for the day and now he is calling to maybe know if I am all ready. "Are you here yet?"I hear a little noise, and his soft voice that said "Yes, darling." he grunted before adding, "I'm just having a hard time finding for my wrist watch. I know for sure I left it in here.." A soft giggle came out from me. "I'll be out there in a sec, let me help you find for it." I ended the call right away, putting the cellular inside my pouch as I give myself a final check from the mirror. Turning to the side to see if everything looks great, I sure do not want to hear from my date that I look odd or anything. Closing the door behind me, the gray car that is parked just in front of my house came into sight, and I know it is him. Marching over towards it, his head popped from the window, and when his eyes landed on me, his pink lips had drawn a smile across his be

"What!?"I jump. "Shh! Keep it down! We're outside!" Evette pulls me on the arm. "Does this mean, you're Tybalt's girlfriend now!?" "I... don't know.""What do you mean you don't know?" Harry raises an eyebrow at me. "You let him kiss you and you don't know whether or not you're his girlfriend?" "Relax, it's just.. it all happened so suddenly, that I..." My eyes shut closed. "blacked out." "What!?" "You see, I was dizzy! I had a little amount of alcohol, may I remind you? Of course I'd pass out, I was drunk!" "You dumbo!" Harry flicked me on the forehead. "You shall never drink again! Who knows what my brother had done to you while you were out?" The concern and love from Harry's words, I can feel all of them and thank him for it. "Nothing happened, trust me. My mother told me that he's brought me home. Dressed but unconscious." The three of us continued to walk down the halls. Class is already over. We are heading out to the gate

Tybalt had never unlinked his fingers with mine the whole ride; but I would not say that I do not like it. It feels like yesterday.. that this guy can barely exchange words with me, let alone look at me in the eyes. They were always anywhere but on me. Our relationship is so cliché— hate to love. I truly disliked him when he was totally against Milo and I, as if he had already predicted we would never last long. Tybalt had never shown me he liked me, not ever. That is why I could not believe it when he told me that he did for quite a while already. It was totally something I never thought could happen, but here we are, locking fingers with the Tybalt John Ellis and dolling myself up for him. I can only wish that we last longer than my last relationship. Arriving at the set, my eyes spotted Odette and her boyfriend. Although sat by each other, they seem very distant. They are not even looking into each other's eyes, there is no fire at all. I thought, love is sweeter the second time a

"Are you crazy?" Milo pretended not to hear, slouching on the seat as Odette speaks. "Didn't you say you'd never tell a soul?" "I wanted them to think." "Milo, you're getting us in trouble!""Relax. Lorien won't suspect a thing, she'll believe whatever Tybalt will say at this time.""How can you be so confident?" Milo shoots her a glance. "Because that's how she is." ***"Where are we?"The door slams shut. Tybalt walking towards the entrance, hands inside the pockets of his jeans before looking over his shoulder. "Come on, it'll be fun." he chuckles, extending a hand as I take it with a smile. It was a skating rink. It was freezing, yet Tybalt seems unbothered, untying his shoe laces and then putting on the ones meant for this place. The second he was done, he helped me with mine. "Take this." A blue thick coat embraced me. Tybalt must have sensed that I am cold and thankful for it. He skates backwards, far from where I sat, then spins beautifully. He sure is different from how

"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

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

"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 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.

"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
