"Oh, so you don't see Charmaine at Alayna, huh, Matt?" Lucas mentioning my name, it made my heart beat. I'm really involved in their conversation...
"The hell, Nielsen... no." Matt said, obviously annoyed at Lucas.
"Are you sure? Because the last ti
“Get yourself together, Alayna.” I told myself as I gripped the sink on the ladies comfort room in the school. I am having a hard time to breathe, again. These past few days, this is always happening to me. It feels like, there is something blocking my heart that I couldn’t much feel my heart beat.The fact that my dad is here with us, I don’t want him to worry about me. I want to be happy as if nothing’s wrong with me.Get yourself together, please!I went out and my mind is not in the right state right now. It was consumed by fright, pain, and sadness. I heaved a sigh, and then suddenly I bumped with someone that
“Ms. Smith…” Principal Schmidt looked at Karen coldly. “Someone reported to the upper boards about your daughter.” Karen and I were now in the office of Principal Schmidt, while Stacey and William were waiting outside for us.“Then, what’s going to happen next?” Karen answered. Then I just squeeze my palm using my thumb. I always find myself doing this whenever I am in a situation where I know I could be hurt.“We have no choice… I’m sorry.” I gaze over at the Principal. His eyes were pleading, as if it is apologizing to me… to us.&
“Oh, wait up, baby. Someone got this for you.” Roger continued as he passed the bouquet of flowers from the center table.How come I haven’t noticed that earlier?I held the flower and reached the card and it says,AlaynaMy fille-de-café. Be strong as you al
It’s been a week now and I often stay here inside the house. To be honest, I am starting to miss the activities in school. Can’t believe I am saying this, but I miss the long quizzes of Mr. Atlas that he would give to us.On the other side, I don’t feel bored during my ‘staycation’ here in my house. Lucas would always come here just to check-up on me. Ever since he found out about my situation, he stays here in our house and does his home works here. Somehow, I am bothered for the fact, that Mrs. Nielsen was all alone in their house. Lucas told me that it is for their good sake not to see her that much.
We all went home together to have our late lunch. Karen and William prepared the meal for the rest of us.As we all sat down, enjoying the food, the adults were just catching up with their lives. I take a look at my wrist watch, and its 3:40 in the afternoon already. Lucas must be out of class now, and I wonder where he is.Geez, why am I wondering though? I shook off my head.“Alayn
I slowly turned my gaze at him and he was giving me that smile. That smile that could make my heart from a normal heart beat to ‘I-really-like-you, Lucas Nielsen.’My heart is going crazy! Lucas is making me crazy!“I really do.” Then Lucas softly caressed my cheek. I immediately hope that he won’t feel the rush of heat inside of me.“This is really unlikely to be a fever.” Lucas chuckled. I knew it! He’
I spent most of my time in the hospital, and every passing day, I prayed that Stacey will wake-up, and will show me her precious smile at me. She’s still unconscious after she hits her head in the bathroom. According in the result of her examination, there were small blood clots in her head. It wasn’t as dangerous as it looks like, the doctors were doing their best in her condition.I hope so.I sat beside at Stacey’s bed and read the magazine on the table. Both of her parents are on their house, took some clean clothes for Stacey. So I volunteered to assist them in taking care of he
For the times I’ve been staying here in the hospital, Lucas never fails to be at my side. He’s just here, like my shadow.I kept on telling him that he have classes to attend to, but he's just so persistent to be beside me.I am so thankful for that, in that way, he’s making me braver despite of the situation.On the other side, Lucas mentioned to me how he and Margarette are trying to fix what they’ve lost after the death of his father. And I cannot contain my happiness for him… for them.
Lucas tiptoed his feet as they climbed upstairs. He was holding a cake in his other hand, while his son's hand on the other."Mommy won't like this. She hates waking up at midnight." Blue, their first born, said in a grumpy tone of voice.He wanted to laugh, because he knew that Blue was the one who hates waking up at this hour. But for sure, his son will be much annoyed at him. And a hundred percent sure, he won't cooperate with him anymore.
Three years later."Shh, little Quen. Here... here's your milk." I immediately grabbed the bottle of milk beside me, and let little Quen have his milk.I closed my eyes in frustration when he ignored me and continued on weeping."Oh, little Quen. Please stop crying, please, please. I need to go, now." I've wanted to cry together with him in frustration.
The sun was just about to rise when I left the house. After everything had happened, I forgot that I still have some things in my locker. So I've decided to finally take all of it.As I approached SOMA, the sun was up already. It felt kind of heavy to be here again. There were tons of memories flashing in my mind.The campus was filled with birds' noises. It's a weekend, therefore there were no students roaming around the school.When I saw the
“As days passed by, we became the best of friends. We were inseparable, really. We went to school together, eating lunch together, even in our school play we were in it, together. Then I thought, having someone you call as a friend, it felt amazing. It was surreal, maybe because she was my first friend for my whole 18 years of existence here.” I gazed at Peter, his face was calm but I could see sadness through his eyes.“I could say that Stacey is the epitome of happiness. If you ever tried to be with her even for just a minute or so, you’ll feel comfortable in her side…” I let out small laugh.
I’ve witnessed an angel sets her majestic feet here on earth.Never expected this angel would appear in my existence.As this creature spread her wings,
With just three rings, he answered it immediately. I noticed that he just came out from the company he's working in. Roger greeted me joyfully, he badly wanted to go in here with Brook and his children to celebrate with us, but unfortunately, there's a project for him that needed to be finished immediately because of being absent for two weeks.I truly understand my dad. And I am so glad for him to greet me even just a phone call. Brook and Thorn, who were both in the house, joined the video call to greet me as well. Thania wasn't there, because she flew back in California to take her exam. But she sends her regards at me through a text message.As
"Happy birthday, to you. Happy birthday, to you." Karen, William and Lucas chorused as they sing the Happy Birthdaysong for me.They were all wearing a color red shirt, with matching party hats in their heads. Lucas was the one holding my cake with a number 18 candle on the top of it. I cannot help not to show a sunny and childlike smile to them.This was the exact picture as I celebrate my other birthdays. Me lying on the bed, watching myguestsas they pour their heart singing just to see me smile. But this year's a bit di
“It’s alright, baby. Let it all out.” Lucas tried to comfort me with his words. I sat down on the floor, my body felt weak and emotional right now.There is no one that could save me.Then I just felt my tears falling uncontrollably onto my face. Lucas was there to catch me in his arms.“Come on, get up. We’ll get you the hospital.” Lucas nuzzled closely to me, but I pulled myself from him.“Luc
Of course, both of my fathers’ thought of something to torture Lucas, and by torture they meant is to play Jengga with their hands dipped in iced cold water before they have their turns. If my Lucas lose, and I quote from: “Thee des’rve not our daught’r, and we might not but strip off thy labeleth as h’r own boyfriend.” You don’t deserve our daughter, and we must strip off your label as her boyfriend.Well, thankf
