2021-06-16 18:50:19I slide the curtain to the side as my eyes grew big and wide. "Wow," I whispered to myself, "What a bunk!" I added then I heard someone chuckling from behind me. Turning myself around to look, there was Milo standing right in front of me.
"We're sorry about this," he said with a giggle.
He's so adorable..
"Oh!" I gasped, "Don't worry about it. I can just clean this up and it would be a normal bunk again. And, so that I can go back to sleep."
Milo puts a closed fist over his mouth as I heard him chuckling softly, "Woah there-" I perked a brow at his reaction then crossed my arms over my chest. "Are we having the girl version of Harry here?"
I uncrossed my arms as I laughed at his comment with a shake of my head. Turning myself around, I removed the bags resting over the futon as I started cleaning this unused bunk here inside of the bus which is obviously going to be my bunk.
As soon as I -and Milo, he's insisted to help- finished cleaning "m

Why does he not want me to like his own brother? Is there something wrong with Milo or should I say- is there something wrong with me liking on his brother? Does Tybalt know something that I don't?Oh who am I kidding?Of course it is only natural for Tybalt to warn me about this thing! He only cares for his brother, for God's sake, what am I even going on about? Milo is a member of a famous band- one that is known by the world, whom thousands of people are looking up to. Tybalt is only protecting his brother from any kind of trouble. He's that type of person- the one that cares so much about everyone and everything.He was just protecting his brother—"Lorien?"—from.... me...?I turned myself around as I heard someone calling my name, there he stood, his eyes sparkling so bright as he looks at me with worry. He waved his hand in front of my face as I did nothing but stare up at him.

Tonight is the night.I am here at my bunk staring at myself through this oval-shaped mirror, thinking about whether I should go out there or just stay right here inside the bus. It's not like I really need to go out there, right? I sighed, placing the mirror on the futon. I'm still not over the fact that these boys are wary of me. But then, it'd be a surprise if they aren't. I mean, they don't know anything about me at all, plus I'm a fan. Having a fan with you inside of your tour bus, it is normal for them to feel that way. I understand but.. it still depresses me."Lorien!" I straightened my back when I heard my name being called by somebody. Letting out an air from my mouth, I immediately hopped out of my bunk then dusted off my clothes as well as brushing my hair with my fingers.I cleared my throat. "Yes?" A man with blonde hair and sparkly blue eyes greeted m

Rubbing my arms up and down, I waited for Milo while seated beside this glass wall. I could see the bus from a distance and the boys seem to be having a little party over there. Once Milo has paid for Harry's food, we got outside the store and walked our way back to the bus. It is quite cold but since I'm wearing long sleeves, it doesn't bother me so much."How was the show?" I finally decided to break the ice. I wanted to start a conversation since we got out of the bus but I didn't know what to talk about and how I should start it."Insane," he replied and followed by a soft laugh. "We honestly have the best fans ever!" He screamed throwing his hands up in the air.I chuckled, "That's great, and I can see that you guys enjoyed the show very much." I said as I started to feel drops of liquid right on my shoulder."We did!" He sighs, "We love our fans so much

It is currently 3:42 PM and we are heading to the venue for sound check. Milo and the others are at the front lounge, probably discussing what they are going to play tonight while I am just here at the back, seated on the couch, hugging my knees, and staring down to my phone. You know, the usual."Oh hey Lorien," I hear somebody calling for me and I almost jumped up. Looking over my shoulder though, there stood the Japanese man - Rin Alexander Hudson."Oh my God, it was only you Rin.. you startled me!" I exclaim, placing my phone beside me.He shrugs and then chuckles, "I'm sorry."The drummer of the band then takes a sit beside me. A second after, he slouched. "So, have you guys decided what to play tonight?" I ask.Rin pulls out his phone from his back pocket then unlocks it, "Uh-huh, the brothers settled with the same setlist as last night.""I see," I answered. "Where are they then?" I add

As we are walking our way to the coffee store, I am just looking down on my feet, watching them race against each other, taking steps forward. I just can't look at him right now, nor can I talk to him. Aren't I so weird? For sure Milo over here thinks so, since I am not trying to start a conversation. Rin has made me realize these feelings are far from a simple crush, and now I could not look Milo in the eye. He must be thinking that I am acting a little bit strange, but my heart is pounding hard and loud against my chest, am afraid to get caught in the spot. Especially not now, I really don't want him to know. I still am not ready for it."Hey..""Yes?"Oh, good going, Lorien. You've just embarrassed yourself in front of your crush. Now Milo knows that something is on your mind."Woah, why so tense? Calm down." The blue eyed man lets out a gentle laugh while

I woke up in a really horrible way. I rolled over to my side and bump my head to this hard wall. I was having a very good dream, too, only to get it interrupted by my clumsy little self turning to my side and banging the wall. What a great way to start the day! Right?Moving on, I slipped out of my bunk, scratching my head. Oh I just hope it didn't leave any bruise or bump! It will not look good, plus Harry is going to make fun of me once he sees me with it. That kid does not know when to leave things alone, things never go unnoticed - even the smallest - if we are talking about Harry Ellis here. Anyway, right after I had finished doing my morning routine,I contemplated to go outside. It is not that I have done something wrong or anything, waking up and seeing these men first thing in the morning, is still very new to me. As you all know, I grew up in a household with only women around - just me and my mother. So it is only natural for me to feel awkward around men, right? Mo

Milo and I got back to the bus; and I could not stop myself from staring at the band aid on his bruised arm. He got hurt because of me, and it is very terrible of me to feel so happy about it, but here I am. And all that was left for me to do was leap in joy, celebrate because my celebrity crush got hurt from saving me. That just means that he cares about me, right? He would not have jumped off the swing he was on if he does not have a single care about me, right? What am I thinking, I am the worst type of human being these brothers have met. I am very sorry, Milo.Back in the tour bus, we did not find anyone up yet. Well, it is an off day after all, those men would love to sleep in all day and just do nothing. I am betting Harry is blasting off "The Lazy Song" in his earphones right now, if not, then Tybalt. Anyway, Milo put his coffee inside the fridge, because why not, right? Save your coffee for later! Sitting down on the cushion of the couch, he picks up his guitar and s

"I need to talk to you... now." His large hand, encircling around my wrist tightly. My heart rate increasing the more that I look into his eyes, so then I turned away and pull my hand back, keeping it behind me before putting away the hair from my face. "Okay, okay.. what do you want to talk about?" "Follow me." Tybalt walks to the door of the bus, having me behind him. Everybody else is gone, I wonder where they all went. My eyes are searching for the obvious - Milo. He is not at the back nor front, even at the driver's seat - I think we stopped over the gasoline station - then I hear chuckles from the man walking ahead of me. "They're all in there-" he pointed to the convenience store in front of us, "-- buying dinner." My mouth then turned

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.

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
