There's purpose in his walk, leaving no doubt about where he is going. He's coming to me. Each step he takes feels deliberate. He gives a brief glance to Kayla, acknowledging her presence, before he looks back to me. A second glance to her and the recognition isn't easy to hide. He remembers her. This seals what I already know. He came looking for me, just like he is doing now. " I'll see you tomorrow, Milla." Kayla says, giving me a side hug. " Hmm." I nod, watching with anticipation for some kind of interaction or acknowledgement as the two walk past each other. She only gives off a nod and I can't help but feel abit disappointed. I needed words but none were heard. William stops infront of me but I don't look at him as of yet, wanting to prepare myself. His heated gaze burns the side of my face, demanding for my attention. I put up resistance while trying to figure out what to say to him. How do I go about looking for answers when I struggle to voice out, exactly what

One name comes to mind and no other. Mr Shard. But the thing with William is that he isn't very fond of talking about him, so for a split moment I kind of doubt myself. It's not helping that he's gone quiet now, leaving the rest of what he had to say hanging in the air. " If you have something to say, just say it now." " It doesn't matter." He shakes his head, already taking a step back. I quickly grab his arm so he doesn't get too far from me," no, you don't get to do that to me. You won't leave me overthinking, I won't allow it." I say. He wordlessly stares me down, frustrating me just a little. " You're quiet and that's not fair." I complain. " I'm thinking." Liar. I narrow my eyes at him, " you want to keep things from me again?" " If there is something I want to tell You, then I will -------" " Even if you didn't and I wanted to know. Would you still tell me?" " It depends." " On what?" " Timing." " Well this is good timing then." I release h

" William?" An expectant look is displayed on Vanessa's face.Gosh, this is not good. Not a good look at all.With the strange look she give us, it's obvious that the wheels are turning in her head. She is trying to assess the situation before her." We are shopping!" I say the first thing that comes to mind.Well this is not entirely a lie." I mean I'm accompanying your brother. He decided to gift shop, that's why we are here." I further explain." Out of all places available, you narrowed it down to this place?" She asks, her brow already raised.Vanessa is making it a point to show us that she is finding all of this hard to believe. I mean it's Vanessa, so I should have expected that she would throw question after question our way. She's pretty predictable.One thing I can't wrap my head around, is the look in her eyes as she interrogates us. It's like we've committed a crime by being here together.We are literally shopping for goodness sake." What's wrong with this place?" Glan

Secrets have a way of coming out, I know this well, but just for a little while longer, I wish things stay hidden.Keeping things hidden for this long has been weighing down on my shoulders, this I know. I felt something shift in me during my time in the changing room, I acknowledge this, but a part of me doesn't want that day to come.It's scary to think of what may happen. I'm scared of what my mother's reaction will be, how she may look at me then.Disappointing my mother is one of the things that hurts me the most. She is the one I would aim to please, in the things I do because I value her opinion. As a child, I got into trouble quite a bit which earned me a whole lot of scolding from my mother, while my father gave me life lessons. They differed in the way they punished me but both had a way, of shaping me into the young woman that I am.Responsibility is something my mother always warned me, to never run away from. As a child till now, I took that to heart. Taking over and le

An awkward situation is existing right now and I have no clue on how to approach it. It seems that both the Myers guys are here for the same reason.Me.I mean, not to sound important or anything, but they seem to have both thought of taking me to the dinner. Had things been different, Neil might have been the one to take me there but now, Liam is the one taking me.His stubbornness won and I wish it didn't. I am now feeling bad on behalf of Neil, because he must have come a long way to get here." I guess both of you are here because of the same reason." I say, being the first to break the silence." Seems like it." Neil agrees, his eyes moving from me to his cousin, who now stands next to me." I thought you weren't coming." William says." I wasn't-but I changed my mind." Neil answers." What changed your mind?" " Wait, you weren't going to be there?" I ask out of curiosity.He nods. " I had something to do but I guess I was able to get it done faster than I thought. Anyway, on my
