Saturday, 6 PM.
"Sweetheart, are you sure you can go to that ball?" Mum worriedly asked.Since this morning I really felt sick. I was vomiting inside my comfort room for half an hour. I don't know but I think my condition got worse. And it had to be this day of all the days."Yeah mum. Nothing to worry about. Mal is going with me but I'll give you a call if something comes up, okay?" I told her that and then kissed her goodbye.Waiting outside was our ride. Mal's already inside the rolls so I rushed walking to get inside. I was stunned the moment I got inside the car, it was astonishing. I mean, this has got to be the best car I have ridden on."Woah. What's with the bag Vey? Is something wrong?" Mal asked. I shook my head telling her nothing was wrong. I don't want to ruin the night.As to what that anonymous guy instructed in the letter. I wore my navy blue tube dress with a pretty necklace that has a VSlowly my consciousness went back and I felt like someone was carrying me. Opened my eyes and saw his face full of tears and worries."K-Killian..." I said as if I was whispering. I still couldn't feel my body. I'm scared. What if this would be my last night? No. Please no, give me another day.Now that I know who this guy really is, I need to know him better. I need to be with him and my family a little bit longer. Please give me this day, Lord. I promise I will tell him everything and I wont ever hurt him anymore."Shh...Don't say a word baby, okay? You are alright. I promise." He says. Reassuring me by forcing a smile on his face. He placed me in a bed and I was then rushed to the emergency room. He took me to a hospital, that's why the smell was so familiar.A bunch of people entered the room.I was surrounded by doctors and nurses. They were all busy doing some sort of stuff. An anesthesiologist then approached me
After days of being hospitalized, I was finally home.And now, I am bored."The doctor said you are not allowed to go mountaineering." Dad frankly and firmly said. I gave my dad a pout. He is really strict in obeying the doctor's order. Gosh. I have been in that situation for a long time already. Mum lets me go on my own and doesn't even complain. Tss. Dads are really dad's. They are very protective."But dad, I have nothing to do here. I promise nothing is going to happen" I'm not giving up that easily. It's worth a try though. My doctor didn't even allow me to go to school for a week or two because she said she's going to observe my condition.In a week or two, what am I going to do here at home? I'm not used to just staying still and not doing anything. I want to go out and breathe fresh air."Alright, but only if you have someone to tag along with. I dont like the idea of you being alone anymore." I
Morning finally came in and surprisingly, I slept well. Considering that someone kept on bugging me last night."Sweetheart, someone left this out the front door. It has your name on it so I guess it's for you." Mum barged into my room and then left right after she placed the blue box on my nightstand. Whom is it from? Woah. It even has my name, oh well guess it's a blessing to accept fully. Ohhh, there's a tiny letter.'Good morning beautiful, I know you're bored inside the house. Don't worry, we are going to have fun tonight. Wear this cute Jasmine costume, okay? I'll be really sad if you don't wear it.x Aladdin'So he was the one that sent this. Not a total shocker there. He is really serious about this whole going out with costumes thingy. To think we're not even kids anymore. Whatever. Do I really have to wear this? It's too sexy and my bruises can be seen so I'll have to cover it up with concealers again.Tss.
After almost a 30-minute drive, we finally arrived at a food park because we are going to eat first. The place seems legit and hygienic, a lot of people are eating here too. I haven't tried eating in a food park yet because I am really picky when it comes to food and hygiene."Good Evening Sir and M-Miss Beautiful, welcome to Haven Sanctuary food park. Choose your favorites and enjoy." Says the cute guy in the entrance. I smiled at him because he was so welcoming and he called me beautiful, that's a given tho. I heard Killian murmur something tho.We went inside the food park and then I moved straight to the Japanese food cart. Always wanted to try their sushi and matcha tea. I have never been to Japan, only to Korea and Barcelona last year, so I will just try the semi-authentic japanese food here. I don't have enough time to travel to Japan anymore. I am hoping to go to California tho, I want to spend my birthday at Disneyland. Hopefully I would still have
My two weeks have been massively crazy because of Killian. Yes, we did all sorts of things wearing costumes. Fortunately, he doesn't fail to amaze me and make my heart flutter every night. Tonight, I don't know what he's planning to do.By the way, I am already back at the campus. My doctor told me I can go back to class, I just really need to be extra careful."Hey Veronika, did you know? Heiro is seeing Sasha again. Shocker right? I thought he was seeing you." One of my classmate said.I was flustered. I did not know what to say nor what to think. I mean, what is this? First day of getting back to class and this is what welcomes me. Great, just great. My kind of welcoming party."Oh really? Good for them." I flatly said then put on my earphones. I don't like to hear anymore of their getting back together love story. I don't care. Why would I care? It's not like we're in a relationship or something. We're just friends hang
"Race, wake up."The next day, I woke up with a smile on my face. It's been three days since we got here in California. Time flies so fast. Killian and I have been staying in his grandpa's penthouse."Heyy, good morning, Captain Hook."I smiled and greeted him. He is lying beside me. To be exact, he is hugging me and giving me sweet kisses on my neck and cheek."Happy birthday, Race, my darling. Are you ready to go to Disneyland?"Oh, and today is my birthday. I totally almost forgot about that. Thanks, G, for adding another year.I got up and went directly to the bathroom. I am quite excited and ecstatic today because we are finally going to Disneyland. In the past few days, we've been to many kinds of museums, climbed mountain peaks, and gone to Hollywood. We also ate lots of interesting foods. But today is the day where I'm most glorious. I'm wearing an Emma Swan outfit, from the Once Upon a Time American series. Emma is the daughter of S
After hours of riding and puking because of the extreme rides, we positioned ourselves in an area on the main street in order to have a picture perfect view of the musical fireworks and the parade.Well, I was the one sitting and making sure that we had our seat. Killian was buying us some snacks because we didn't have an appetite for dinner. Too much vomit causes dizziness."Here are your corndogs and popcorn, your highness." Killian handed me the snacks as he sat down beside me. The parade was finally about to start. All the people were cheering loud and happy as the floats entered the area one by one with their respective characters.There were a variety of Disney characters in the parade. They were all beautiful and friendly. They approached me, and Killian took a picture of me and with the both of us as well."Waaah, I am in love with Belle. She's such a beauty…" I remarked, admiring the woman who played Belle in the Beauty and the Beast float
Killian and I are currently having our dinner. You might think that I am enjoying this because, as I have said earlier, having a dinner date was on my original bucket list.The setting that I had imagined was very simple, so I admit that Killian really went over the top with his efforts to have this kind of set up. In Disneyland, to be exact.But,Right now, all I feel is awkwardness. Even though there was noise outside the cave, because the musical fireworks were still going on. Both of us are strangely silent.I could sense that Killian would gaze at me, but whenever I tried to look at him, he pretended that he was eating and was also looking outside the cave.I was a little curious because I noticed that he kept looking outside. I was about to ask him, but my stomach suddenly growled and told me that I needed to eat more food and sweets. Don't judge me. I'm not pretentious like other girls. I know what I want, especially when it comes to yummy f
A new day brings a new difficulty.Actually, I'm in Killian's place right at this moment. I'm making him some soup to help him recover from his hangover. I couldn't leave him since he passed out when he held me; therefore, I couldn't.It's not like I had a choice, is it?I am not a malicious individual who would simply abandon an ex-spouse anywhere.Of course, I dialed Sasha's number to see how Luka was doing. Fortunately, he just suffered minor bruising and a concussion as a result of the accident. Luka also stated that I was not at fault and should remain in the area to care for Killian. I agreed.Yes, he was aware that I was present, and Killian was the one who confronted him and threw blows at him. It was a good thing that Luka was not the type of person to keep grudges against others.And, because Killian didn't have any maids, I was forced to do everything by my lone
I am not intoxicated because the sex on the beach drink did not appeal to me. I took a sip, and it was so bitter that I had to have an iced tea instead, which was much more pleasant."Come on, you guys, let's get this party started." As she dragged Luka and me away, Sasha whispered something. Consequently, despite our best efforts, we were forced to join her on the dance floor.Due to the fact that his expression was simple to read, I could tell that Luka was not entirely at ease.And I wasn't entirely comfortable. This was not my cup of tea, but I wanted to experience something different before I passed away. After all, you only have one life, right? I was fortunate in that I knew when I was going to die. Haha.Okay, it wasn't very amusing.Sasha was already gone, and she was undoubtedly having a good time out there. Luka and I were left in the middle of the dance floor. It was a little odd b
The Point of View of KillianWhat in the world did he think he was doing? He had the audacity to ask my girlfriend out on a date. And she had the nerve to say yes to my proposal???Yes????"Heiro, take a deep breath and relax. After all, you were the one who broke her heart, and now you're upset that she's dating someone else." Mal said something, which I overheard.Race's best friend, that's what I'm saying. It's my cousin.Race and I were both unaware that we were cousins, and she was as well. From the moment I arrived, I went straight to her and told her everything that had happened. Of course, I took a savage beating from her as a result.The agony was manageable, but the pain I'm experiencing right now is not at all bearable.This type of day was sure to happen at some point, but I did not anticipate it happening so quickly."
"Stop being so nervous, please. You're going to derail our plans completely." Sasha shared her thoughts. When I heard her high-pitched voice, I immediately came to my senses.Okay, so today was the day of our initiation, which took place at the end of the day. I'm referring to giving Killian a taste of his own medicine, sort of thing.We decided to meet Luka in a neighboring cafe near the school to discuss about our plan because, according to Sasha, that would be the beginning of the process. In the same way, we have to allow people at school to see us together in order for them to talk about us and propagate whispers that would eventually reach Killian's ears.Luka wasn't too horrible. He was not what I had expected, given that he was a well-known senior year college student who, by all accounts, had his fair share of girls.He felt apprehensive and self-conscious in front of me. Despite the fact that it was awkward at first, I ended up liking it. We too
This way, I can see the door to our room and hear everything they say. To be honest, I'm terrified.People are shaking, and I can't remember why I came here. People need to say goodbye now because I'll be leaving in two weeks.As for seeing Killian again, the thought of it really got to me. It was so overwhelming!I was about to go inside when someone called me from the right side. Was Sasha who did this?"Veronika, wait up!" She screamed. It made me want to find out more about her. Even though we aren't close, we aren't enemies either, so we don't have to be enemies.It has been a long time since we have respected each other. The one where they tried to bother me, do you remember?"What's up?" I said hello to her, but she didn't notice and grabbed my hand."You look like you're having a hard time. To where?" She didn't even bother to talk to me. She just took me some
Point of View: Third PersonA few days ago, Veronika went home alone because she had forgotten all her clothes and other things, so she didn't bring anything with her.It took her a long time to run away and cry at the same time, so she was swamped. They did not ask her because they knew what might happen. They just smiled at her and tried to make her feel better.They went home the same night.For Killian, on the other hand, it was a while before he moved back to California from New York. He, too, was in tears. Because he had to say that, Race would have left her. He couldn't believe it.He also felt bad because he knew that Race was heartbroken, which made him feel bad.But he had to.He promised to her father.It doesn't matter how hurt or
"Weird, what have you just said? Tell me, do you refuse to follow my instructions? Do you really believe that I'm just teasing you and making a joke?" In any case, Dad was not pleased with his son's response at all.They both had their eyes fixed on the other. Both of them are throwing death glares, so no one is going to back down."Sir, I appreciate your care. My hunt for Race began when we were children. I vow to stay by her side, no matter what happens, now that I've discovered her." Killian spoke clearly and without pause."I guess I have no choice but to accept your decision then..."The only thing I'd like right now is for this to be a fantasy and not a reality. I don't particularly appreciate witnessing my family members engage in physical conflict for my affections. This is a painful scene to see unfold.I interrupted my father before he could even begin speaking.This was
I slowly opened my eyes and saw Killian sleeping beside me. He was sitting and laying his head on my hand.A faint smile appeared on my face. I lifted my other hand and gently brushed his hair. I did not want to wake him up. He looks so peaceful and handsome while sleeping.My tears started to fall because I remembered all of his words earlier. I clearly felt that he was scared and hurt. I also knew that he was blaming himself for what happened.This was exactly what I was afraid of."Hey, handsome." I greeted him. Killian was a light sleeper, so I knew that one brush would wake him up.
I was not prepared for this.I thought we were going to have a smooth day and night together. Then, all of a sudden, this had to happen?I am now rushing to a nearby hospital. I could feel that Race had already fainted. My heart was beating so fast that I could not hear the loud horns of the car and just continued running.Where the hell is the hospital when you need one?After five minutes of running around, there was finally a glimpse of hope. I saw a university medical center across the street. I hurried and went i
