When Our Paths Misaligned Chapter 7
"WHY ARE we here?" I asked Shawn as he parked his car in front of Grandma's Sweets. Our house is just walking distance from here to the cafe and pastry shop. "Why don't we go home yet?""You owe me an explanation." His voice was serious. "We need to talk, Raine.""O-Okay. But just be quick. Javier might get worried why I haven't come home yet." It's past six in the evening. I should be home by these times. He got out of the car and opened the door for me. He smiled. "Don't worry, this won't last long." I gave him a short nod and I went outside his car. The sky was now dark and filled with stars. I then remembered the picture that Dawn showed me earlier. Shawn also opened the shop door for me. "What drink do you want? Coffee? Shake?" he asked as we got inside. Very elegant look of the shop. The interior is clean, well-ventilated, and the pastries displayed on the counter are pleasing to the eye. Javier often buys sweets here because apart from being delicious

I felt safe the next few days, because of Shawn. It's also him who gave me the strength to forget what had happened that night. The next day he didn't really let the incident happen again, he picked me up in the morning and took me home. I was embarrassed, but he seemed to be enjoying what he was doing. Today was Sunday. I have no other plan to do other than deliver invitations to guests after I go to church. My birthday is on Tuesday, but since we still have work to do, we decided to adjust until Saturday for more fun. Yesterday Shawn and I went to the Four Seasons Resort again for the final cake testing. I chose strawberry cake since red was my favorite color. That was also the motif I chose. We also went to the tailor shop to pick up the gown that I will wear for my debut. We also went to the mall to buy a dress. It was Shawn who paid for it. He said that was his early birthday gift to me and I didn't refuse because he insisted. I woke up when someone burst int

IT'S REALLY happening. Our efforts were all worth it. Earlier I was nervous while in the backseat of Shawn's car so that it would be more social to look at the entrance. Well, it was one of Dawn's creative imaginations and I couldn't keep quiet because I was so nervous. "You'll be okay, Raine," Shawn said as he smiled glancing at the rearview mirror. He was carefully driving his car down the pathway to the main venue. "You own this moment and you must enjoy it." I tried to smile, even though my lips were trembling. I’m not nervous because of the guests, but I’m afraid of what they’ll judge. Especially the children of Mom and Dad's friends who are here now. We always threw elegant parties before when we were still rich. Our situation is different now. Also, I don’t know if what I look like right now matters to me. I looked like Cinderella. My hair was in a bun like hers, matte makeup was done by the artist, and when I looked at myself in front of the mirror wearing

As time went by, the nervousness disappeared in my chest. I have nothing else to feel but the great joy. We are all tired of just going through this night. I was sure Dad was proud of me. I excused myself after the eighteen, no, nineteen roses dance. I will change clothes for our surprise number. As Shawn promised, he never left me. He drove me back to the dressing room since it was a bit far from the beachfront. "Are you sure it's okay for you to wait for me here outside?" I asked him when he stopped right in front of the door of the dressing room. "I'll change in the bathroom." He smiled. "No, it's okay, Raine. I'll just wait for you here." "Okay." I smiled. I finally went inside. The makeup artist was already inside, setting up her kits, and my next outfit was lying on the bed. It took me over five minutes because my gown was so hard to take off. I also retouched and changed the hairstyle. It was just relaxed and matched with the reddish cocktail dress Sh

The program ended past midnight, but the celebration did not. Some guests were left on the beachfront and others chose to go home. After the disaster happened in our family, this was the happiest night of my life. I was exhausted, but it was worth it because I thoroughly enjoyed my debut. We said goodbye to Javier and Aunt Avila to go to Dawn and my room. The girls couldn't shut their mouth up after they went inside Shawn's car. The five of us fit in the backseat, leaving Dawn no choice, but to sit next to him. We just let the boys walk. I noticed that Shawn couldn't break a plate. Ever since he returned to the venue after taking a pee, he didn’t talk to me or let out a single word. He was just nodding his head every time Javier asked him a question. Dawn also wonders why we don’t pay attention to each other, but it’s good that she doesn’t know. Shawn and I had to keep that thing from them. In less than five minutes we reached the entrance of the hotel room. I jus

"I saw what happened to you earlier with Shawn." I stopped walking when I heard Javier's voice. I found him in the hotel lobby sitting alone on one of the couches. His arms were crossed while his right leg was on top of the other. The serious look in his eyes was haunting my conscience. The front desks just keep working. "J-Javier . . . What are you talking about?" He stood up, but his eyes were still focused on me. "Can we talk outside?" I automatically nodded. He left the hotel first. I followed him with my mouth shut. He drew a deep breath. "I saw you two kissing." My eyes widened slightly. He saw it? "I don't want to interfere with what you and Shawn have. You're too old to follow your decisions, but I just want to make sure you don't regret it later." I shook my head. "I think I made the worst decision, Javier." "Why? If Shawn and you are happy with each other, Mom and Dad and I are happy too," he continued. He still doesn't seem to understand wha

I really made the worst decision in my entire life, and now I was paying for it. A week without Shawn showing up. He doesn't even answer my calls, texts, or chats on his social media accounts. I also tried to ask Aunt Avila again, but she still didn't know where he was. I also tried to call Governor De Vera, but he doesn't answer my calls. Even the most powerful man in our province is angry with me. It was Friday, and I was at my favorite spot on the campus. Akeala employees had an urgent meeting on our last period subject. They were just given an assignment. Other students occupied other concrete benches, while many went home. I didn't feel like going home yet. My conscience was killing me. I wanted to talk to Shawn, but I couldn’t. I love you, Shawn . . . Kyle and Dawn notice that as well. I never told them what had happened that night, and I still don't know if I'll let them know about it. "Hey, Couz!" Kyle greeted who was approaching. He was with Dawn, as

It had been more than five months since I last saw Shawn. Every night I prayed to God that I would be with him again. Hopefully he will answer at least one of the text messages or chats. Dawn already knew everything. I have run out of reasons. She was more upset than I was. She was very upset. It's good that she knows because I'm tired of hiding. Inevitably I look at the stars in the sky, waiting to see wishing stars. I would be wishing for him to come back. Even if he only shows up. I missed him a lot. I missed his smiles. I missed his presence. I was already losing my hope, but I shouldn't be. I’m willing to do anything just to find him - I can just tell him how I really feel. “Javier, come back here with you know! Even just a set of my favorite makeup brand.” Dawn broke out the silence. Javier just looked at the rearview mirror and smiled. I just took a deep breath and went back to sight seeing outside the window. The sunshine is high now and the traffic fl

When Our Paths Misaligned Epilogue
"Come to think of it, Shawn. Will your plan work?" I asked when he told me about his plan.A charming smile crossed on his face. It was a smile of assurance. He gripped my hands even more as if he doesn’t want to let go of me."Just trust me." He slowly moved my hair out of my face because of the wind. His sweetness was all over the place. I don’t know how to give Shawn back the tickle and thrill he’s making me feel right now. “I assure you, this will work.” Even though Shawn had already planned everything, I still couldn’t help but feel sad and pensive. With all the evil I experienced with him before, especially what happened at the mall recently, do I deserve all of these? “What’s wrong, Raine?” I shook my head and immediately averted my gaze.“C’mon, Raine.” His hot breath tickled my neck. I looked at him. I just stared into his talking eyes. “I know something’s bothering your mind. I can feel it.” “As much as possible, I don’t want to use other people just to get

I was trying to call Dawn many times, but she didn't respond. That was new to me. I’m not used to not seeing her messages or chats with me every morning. A few days have passed and she is ignoring me. Especially at work. I was bombarded with death threats and curses when I opened my social media accounts. They didn't put me to sleep for weeks. During those same times I had no one to talk to. Javier has been exhausted. He was focused on Mom's treatment and I didn't want to add to his fatigue. I feel like Kyle is avoiding me too. I live with them, but he doesn't talk to me. I was alone. I only have me, but I don't trust myself either. Why am I really mad at Shawn? What's urging me to treat him like that? Shouldn’t I be happy and he has someone else? I knew Chloe was better than me. And I’m happy for them. I was so stressed right now. Aside from the fact that I was lacking sleep, there was a lot more work to do. My head hurts. It's like being squeezed. I would like

It took me a couple of seconds before I finally realized that the man in the hoodie jacket was Shawn. It's him. My only Shawn was finally back! I smiled automatically. I waved my right hand for him to notice where I was. "Shawn!" There were customers in the shop who looked at me with a streak of seriousness, but I ignored that. My attention was always for him. Slowly he turned to me. He just stared at me as if he didn't know me. My forehead furrowed. What's he doing? Why doesn’t he seem surprised to see me? I don't understand. Why? I was about to approach him, but the woman he was talking to suddenly rushed at me earlier. Her face was in rage. Scary. It's like I want to be followed. And I was not wrong. I screamed when the woman suddenly grabbed my hair and pulled it. I couldn't resist the burning sensation on my scalp. I couldn’t help but cry in extreme pain.Other customers were also surprised and I heard their discussions. Everything would have been fine. I
