Hi yo peeps!

I hope that this chapter would pay off the little tortures (cliffhangers) I dropped from the last few chapters.

Thank you for everything, you mean so much to me.

Enjoy 😊

"So..." Charlie trailed off, "Do you want some tea?"

"No." I shook my head, breathing slowly.

"Water?"

"No."

"Coffee?"

"No."

"Beer?"

"No."

"Food?"

"Depends."

"Noodles?"

"Nah."

"Ice Cream?"

"Nope."

He stopped and raised the plastic bag, "What about Beth's homemade beef stew?"

"I'll get the plates and you'll put that in the microwave," I muttered as I stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"The spoon and fork are in the lower left drawer!" I heard him call off, making me snort, "Shut up."

I took the spoons and forks, grabbing 2 plates too. I walked back and saw him putting the stew in the microwave.

"Make yourself at home." He grinned, waving off a little bit.

To be honest, I am quite annoyed with how he is acting right now.

He acts as if I'm a visitor; as if I don't pay half of the rent of this flat

Sorry for putting your hopes up if you thought I updated a while ago!Thud the reason why I wrote this chapter to clear things up.Thank you for everything!Enjoy 😊~-~"Vanch?" Charlie asked hesitantly.We are currently staring at one another with this very suffocating awkward tension."Is everything alright...?"Breath in. Breath out."Yeah, I'm just trying to calm my heart a little bit.""What?" He chuckled, smiling his 'million dollars' smile.And here I am trying to calm it down."Nothing." I coughed out, finally out of a daze he put me in. "Come on, let's eat."I walked to the other side of the table and took a sit. "Oooh, the stew still smells good.""Uh, Vanch?" He fixed the plates properly and placed Beth's stew on the center from the kitchen counter."Hmm?" I asked, taking a scoop of the stew and put it on my plate."Are we not going to discuss what we just did earlier?""What you di

    "So after answering all your questions, we'll be able to talk about our kiss?" Charlie asks nonchalantly, fixing the way he seats on the chair.Don't blush. Don't blush. Don't blush.I coughed out, "Of course.""Alright, fire away."This is it Vanchel, go, ask him all your questions.But what if his answers are unacceptable?It's Charlie we're talking about, everything's acceptable.Wait a minute...Memories flashed like lights. It was like bricks pouring down on me.I never knew recovering from temporary amnesia would be that fast."Vanch, is everything alright?" Charlie asked as he ran towards me."I'm... I'm fine." I took my hands off his and shook my head, "Just... I think I just remembered everything."His eyes widened, "What timing!""It is." I nodded."That's so unrealistic!""We're in a book, that's normal."●●●●●●●●●●○●○○○○○○○○○○○●○●●●●●●●●●●●●○●○○○○○○○○○○○○●○●●●●●●●●● I AM CURRENTLY FIXING THE FOURTH WALL ●●●●●●●●●●○●○○○○○○○○○○○●○●●●●●●●●●●●●○●○○○○○○○○○○○○●○●●●●●●●●●His eye

    "Vanchel!" Kyle, the cute little kid, ran towards me."Hey!" I grinned, bending down on my knees to hug him. He grew a little bit taller than the last time I saw him and his hair was quite shaggier now."We missed you so much!" He cheered, pulling away from me and pinched my cheeks."The only one pinching anyone's cheeks would be me!" I grinned, pinching his cheeks, making him drop his hands and tap my fingers while whining.Charlie walked beside me and chuckled at the sight, "Let the poor guy go."I rolled my eyes and pinched Kyle's cheeks harder. "Let the poor lady be happy.""There's no lady here, so...""Charlie?""Yeah...?""Shut up.""Okay..."I released my grip and watch as Kyle ran outside my office while sobbing. I laughed silently and muttered, "What a baby.""You're a baby." He snorted, leaning on the wall behind him."Charlie?""Yeah...?""Leave.""Okay..." He walked outside my office while doing the 'peace out' signal, making me roll my eyes and sit on my chair."Vanch! Y

    "Hey?" I turn around and faced Charlie, well, a sweaty and tired-looking Charlie."Yeah?""I love you."I raised an eyebrow and looked at the script, "That's not what is written on this script."He groaned and slumped down, "I'm tired!""So am I!" Beth shouted, before running towards us with her dark shades protecting her eyes from the harsh sunlight. "Stick with the script, Charlie!"He simply groaned.I couldn't blame him though, it is, after all, a very tiring week. We're currently in a desert full of dust with unwanted heat from the sun.Day Care Fun Care is having the annual movie-film where we, the staffs of the daycare, act and play a role that has something to do with the.... daycare.And apparently, Charlie is being Charlie and well, he's being weird."Hey, boss!

    "That was amazing!" Mom grinned at us, before pulling me into a tight hug.Even from here, cheers and claps can still be heard coming from the convention."I must admit, Charlie's acting skills suck, but the movie was still exquisite!" Chloe, Charlie's mother, smiled at us."Mom, I'm gonna have an Oscar one day." I heard Charlie fuming behind me."Vanchel! Vanchel!"I pulled away from my mom and turn around, seeing my dad with a younger guy at his tail."Dad!""You were amazing! The movie was good!" He hugged me before pulling away and faced Charlie, "But you gotta work with your acting, bud."Everyone laugh, even the stranger behind him."Vanchel! This is Gabriel by the way." He introduced the not-a-stranger-now."Hi, we talked through the phone last month." He smiled at me, showing off a set of pearly white teeth. He offered his left hand for me to shake."Oh right," I nodded, "Yeah, I remembered. Hey." I smiled back and shook his hand. "I'm Vanchel.""No duh," Charlie coughed, befo

    Every story has an ending. As cliche as that sounds, it is the truth. I remembered crying my eyes off when I finished Stephenie Meyers' Twilight Saga because I just honestly love her series. I love Bella and Edward. I do not care if there are millions who disagree with me, but Twilight was one of the book series that had me swooning. I remembered buying different objects that has anything to do with the series. I admit, there were some scenes that got me cringing because it was a little bit too weird, but as a whole, the movie was amazing.My story started when my Lexus got lost. And now, finally, my car -the one who had helped me chase my dreams- has finally been found. I cannot be any more happy. Well, I can. But for the moment, I do not think that anything can top this moment."Where is my car?" I asked out loud while I rush inside the station and straight towards Officer Ramon's desk with Elliot on my trail. I usually do not run, unless if I was running late or if there was an eme

"Choppy."Okay."Riley is probably busy tending her boyfriend's wounds, El." You know, the one you and your brother did. Because of a misunderstanding. Because of you.He sighs while shaking his head, "This is terrible.""Aww." I cooed as I sat down beside him and giving him a hug, "Don't feel too bad, it wasn't totally your fault," it's true!

    "YOU TRAITOR!" Elliot pounces on my brother, obviously forgetting the fact that he's a police officer, and screeches from Riley, my mom, and El's were so loud that it made me go blind.Yes. You read that right."You seem calm," I told Vanchel without my eyes leaving the scene."Yeah," She sheepishly answered, "I've been in Charlie's fights in the Underground." She clears her throat, "This is nothing.""Ah." I nodded because I totally understand. The Underground is an illegal place that is located under the grounds of Denovan where fights happen. It has been there for decades. No joke. It's the same place where both my dad and El's used to fight too.Riley gasps as she tries to pull the men away from her now-husband, "What are you guys doing?!

    The calm before the storm has never felt so tense. I remembered keeping secrets from my parents. I remembered not telling them that I lost my phone back in middle school. Well, that was until I learned that my stupid brother has been hiding it the whole time. He only wanted to see me squirm. Anyway. It was not as tensed as this one.But even back then, I have never liked the waiting game. It gives me small hives because of the stress of being scared. The feeling of knowing that there is a ticking bomb gives me the chills. The suspense is killing me.It has been a week since El called her sister and dropped the bomb on us. Riley and my moronic brother would be arriving any time now. The week was filled with held in rage and anger.The newly wedded couple had no idea that the whole family, both the Langstons and the Emersons, are here in our mansion.

    Rage starts silently. It is like water in a pot. You will let it simmer, then boil, THEN BAM! IT EXPLODES! I honestly hope I would not see an enraged Elliot."Elliot," I told him as we both rush towards his truck. "Babe, calm down."We both left the Chinese restaurant with unfinished food -shame, I know. If my own conscience is not knocking on my guilt enough, then the look of the Chinese man who owns the restaurant did.I mean, ordering burger and fries in a Chinese restaurant probably did enough damage, but leaving with unfinished meal? Oof."I can't believe they got married," He grumbles angrily as he harshly yanks his door open. "She's nineteen! She does not know what she is doing."I immediately climb on the truck and shut the door close. I put on my seatbelt and silently watch him turn the engine on in a hurry. I pursed my lips and placed my hand on his lap to comfort him."They have not even graduated from university yet," Elliot spat the words out of spite. "And now she is tel

    "You know what is weird?" I asked my handsome date for this beautiful night as I munch on my juicy and delicious burger, "I have not heard from Jay."El raised a perfectly groomed eyebrow. "You have not told him that you are back in town?""Well, I guess I assumed that my parents already told him or something," I squinted my eyes and put the burger down. I picked up a fry and dipped it in my special ketchup mixed with mayonnaise sauce. "Should I give him a call?""Wait, so he does not know that you are back in town?"I shook my head no and said, "Nope."Jay is an obnoxious, arrogant, sometimes sweet, and cold-blooded piece of work. Have I mentioned that he is also my twin brother? Yeah, unfortunately, he is.Do not get me wrong, I love him. I mean, it is really just because I grew up with him and all. And to be frank, the only time I probably really liked him was when we were both in my mother's womb because you know, we have not murdered each other for nine months. Then again, maybe
