CHAPTER 1: Canon [A cycle of tragedy]
It was summer break...
I would often play with Chad ^^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Bye, bye"
"Hey, wait for me!"
~trips~
"Huh?...[Looks behind]-[Helps to stand up] You okay?" a concerned look was seen on
Chad's face.
"Yeah...I'm fine..."
Jane tried to stand up again but unfortunately trips again...
"-Sigh- Geez....Hop on..."
"Huh?"
"From your state you can't even stand so I'll give you a piggy back ride..so..hop
on.....Well, Don't just stare there
come on!"
He's right, in my condition I won't be able to stand so I have no choice but to
accept his help....
There was silence but I break it by saying:
"I'm Sorry..."
"Huh?" he raised his eyebrow, obviously he was confused.
So before he would say anything...I cut him off
"For troubling you for bringing me home..."
"If you're really sorry, How about being more careful? or how about losing some
weight? You're heavy..." Chad said it
intending to piss me off which actually work.
"What did you say?!...-Sigh-....I'm trying to be serious here ya' know but you're
there being all cocky and ruining the
mood..." I was actually pissed while saying this....
"Hahaha...Jane's so cute... she's pouting" he said it really childish.
"S-shuddap - >///<"
"Wah! Jane's getting embarrassed~"
"Hey!Stop it!" >////<
--------------------------------------------------------------
Chad is my childhood friend. He has always been by my side whenever I'm sad and in
trouble.
"Shit! That brat! Her hospital bills, tuition fee, clothes and food..I can buy a
new house and lot, even a new car! I wish
that brat would just get lost and never get back...Hmmp! She's like her shitty
mother, she�s only making me spend
money for her." I overheard as my dad complained about the money he spend on me.
That's right...my father and mother USED to get along well...but something
happened...When I was still a little child I
was always weak and often got confined in hospitals. One time when i was confined
in the hospital my family were
having a crisis on money and it seems like all the money dad gave mom in order to
pay for my hospital bills were
gambled!, in hopes of getting doubled, and the money my mom used to pay all my
hospital bills were loans...Yes,
that�s right....we're almost near to 'bankruptcy'...Somehow dad was able to pay the
hospital bills together with the
loans, but...
"WHY DID YOU GAMBLE ALL THE MONEY THAT I GAVE YOU!!! LOOK AT US NOW! WE'RE ALMOST
OUT OF
MONEY!" my dad protested.
"I WAS ONLY THINKING OF HOW I WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP..."mom defended.
"HELP? YOU THINK THAT WAS HELPFUL? YOU BET IT WAS! IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT WE
WOULDN'T BE
ARGUING RIGHT NOW!" dad continued to protest.
"WELL, SORRY ABOUT THAT! FINE! I'M LEAVING!"
"YOU BETTER BE!"
Mom left us without saying any second word. After that, she didn't have any contact
with us.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this what you call a 'family'?
Fathers call their children 'brats'.
Parents call each other 'shit'.
Is this REALLY a family?
After that incident, I would always lock myself in someplace and sulk all night
until my eyes are swollen,but
SLAM!
-inhale, exhale-
I saw Chad at the doorway...
"Leave me alone!" I shouted at him.
"Hey, that's mean! I've been searching for hours you know" he demanded.
"I didn't ask you to look for me!" I defended.
"-Sigh- I know I said you're cute when you pout but...but i don't like it when
you're sad...Come on."
As I continue to sulk, he grabbed my hand. I was defenseless back there so it
wasn't that hard to grab my hand. He
ran and since he was holding my hand, I run too.
Finally, we stopped. He pointed to the sky as we laid on the grass...For the first
time I was able to enjoy gazing at the
stars since normally I would be either inside the hospital or already asleep.
"Wow! There are so many stars!" I exclaimed.
"Just as I thought..."he intended it to be a whisper but he said it aloud.
"Did you say something" I asked out of curiosity.
"You know, you're cuter when you smile"
As I heard him said those things I felt that my face was getting hotter and my face
was turning beat red. Chad
noticed.
"Hmmm...Your face is red.........Ah! Don't tell me you're blushing?"
"Huh? No way!"
"Hahaha so cute! I've decided" Chad said while smiling.
"What?" I sounded irritated.
"I want to be with you forever"
"Huh?!"
"Wah! You're face is getting redder!" he said teasingly.
"Don't joke on things like that" my face still beat red I said it a bit serious.
"I'm not joking...I'm serious. I think you're really cute, and I want to see your
cute expressions always. So in order to
do that, I need to be beside you forever. Also, I'm going to protect you so that I
don't need to see you sad again..." he
unexpectedly was serious when he was saying this. He look so inspired.
We enjoyed each other's accompany.
We had lots of fun and because of that we lost track of time....
It was late when we decided to go home.
He walked me home but when we got there the gate was locked, there were glass
shards in the entrance...I guess,
he's still mad at mom and decided to throw things and eventually forgot about me. I
almost cried again....But
suddenly Chad covered my eyes. He really knows when I'm about to break down.
"You don't need to see these things. I told you that I'd protect you but..."
Even though he covered my eyes and can't see what his expression is...I felt warmth
through his hand, He was
worried about me.
But tears just came out of my eyes...
"I'll let you cry today. But this will be the last time that I'll let you cry, I
promise" he continued.
He let me cry until I was able to calm down...Also, Chad's parents let me stay at
their house overnight...We both slept
on one bed. Chad's parents were fine with it. It's not like we'll do something
inappropriate, besides, we're still kids.
Also, Chad's mom gave me her clothes when she was small...she sure kept her things
neatly...Suddenly...
"Hey, still awake?"
"Yeah. Why?"
I thought he was already asleep so I was kind of surprised.
"Come with me...."
"Huh?" I was confused.
"No questions! Just come with me..."
Since I wasn't sleepy, I decided to follow him...
We sneaked out of bed and I silently followed him behind. We went in this one BIG
room and inside it was a piano...
"Wow! So big! Hey, can you play it?" I asked out of amazement.
"Well, of course. Earth to you. Would I bring you here if I don't know how to play
it?" he said it sarcastically.
"Well, You have a point" I agreed.
"Come, sit beside me"
"Ah,sure."
There was an awkward silence, but it was immediately breaked when he said:
"Somehow I can't sleep so I thought I should play the piano and since you're awake
I thought you could listen to it.
This is my favorite piece..."
He started playing the piano. It was calming. I've never heard someone played the
piano but I know he really put his
feelings while playing the piano.
"You're really good." I said as a compliment.
"Oh? You think so?" he thought I was joking.
"Yeah! And that piece was really calming....I felt like I was smelling lavander..."
*It was said that lavender can calm a person*
"Yeah, that's why I like it"
"What's the title?"
"It's Canon. Canon by Pachelbel"
*Canon (piano piece) by Pachelbel(Composer)*
"Canon.huh? Someday I'll learn how to play the piano! And I'll definitely play that
piece!" I said really excited.
"Umm...I can teach you the basics...." he recommended.
"Really? Thanks." I said really happy.
"You're always welcome" he said with a smile.
And so after some small chit-chats, we got sleepy so we decided to sleep....
-Next Day-
After spending the night at Chad's house I decided to go home.
As I approach the gate to my house instead of a relief expression it was a shock
and irritated expression that
welcome me.
"Huh?, Jane!? I thought you were lost...Why did you came back?! Tsk. When I finally
thought I wouldn't be bothered
by you anymore" my dad complained.
Oh yeah, I forgot. My father hates the fact that I was born...
Suddenly...
"Aha! Come here, I thought of something that can benefit me using you! I'll sell
you! Gotta go find someone who'll buy
you~"
Oh no! Dad's gone crazy! He's completely gone nuts! I have to get out of here
but...my dad tightened the rope and he
covered my mouth so I can't scream. I can't break free! I was about to cry when...
-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!-
I heard a long 'beep' outside.
I can hear people chattering...
Then all of a sudden the door to my house opened...
That's right, this isn't the time to be worried about the neighbors' chattering I
should be worried about myself...What if
it was the buyer? I heard footsteps...I can hear it...He's getting nearer and
nearer...I decided to gather all my guts and
decided that this was my fate when...
"What happened to you? Are you alright?"
That's weird, if this was my dad and the buyer they wouldn�t even ask if I'm
alright or what...
I opened my eyes and turn to look at who was the guy who came in and it was just
our neighbor...I can't help but sigh
out of relief...but why is he here?
"Umm...Thank you for helping me out but what are you doing here?"
The neighbor bowed his head and his expression was kind of sad like he brought a
bad news with him...
"Y-y-your f-father is..."was all he said. He was trembling. It was taking time for
him to continue so I decided to ask.
"What about my father?"
"H-he is................I can't say it! Come with me!"
He pulled my hand. We headed outside.
I saw a corpse that was identified as my dad.
Tears pour down. Even though he tried to sell me, the fact that he is my father
will stay the same.
Days have passed since dad died.
The whole neighborhood helped me for my dad's burial.
Mom didn't even dare to show up. I guess when two people are divorced they wouldn't
care whatever happens to
each other...
Neighbors, some of them give me food to eat.
I felt lost at that time...
I felt like I wanted to die.....
BINGO! A RIVER! JUST HOW I WANTED...
I was totally insane for thinking of dying but...I feel so helpless...
I decided to jump when I was already calm...
When I was already calm....I jumped!
I'm dying...right?
But somehow I feel like I'm getting lighter and lighter, the feeling of gravity
pulling me down to the deepest layers of
the sea is gone.
What happened to me?
Feeling slightly uncomfortable I tried to open my eyes...The only thing that I said
was:
"Huh? Where am I? What hap-" I was cut off...before I could react I heard a very
familiar voice...It was very angry but
somehow really sad and worried I shut my mouth in order to hear it clearly I gather
my strength in order to see who
was it....
"YOU BIG IDIOT!"
Was all I heard I tilt my head and look at the guy shouting...
"Chad?!" I was shocked.
"Jane, you idiot! You almost died back there!"
"Eh? That's..."
"Don't 'Eh?' me! You were planning to kill yourself! What if you really died! If I
didn't saw you drowning...you'd be a
dead corpse by now!..."
He kept quiet for a while, he calms himself then he started talking again...
"If you really died back there, it would hurt me...Hurt me...As if I'm the one who
died...As much as you're hurt of your
parents' divorcement and your father's death...You still need to live...Think about
the people who'll get hurt by your
action...So please, live...Live for me..."
He turned his face to me.
He was crying...
Even though we've been friends for so long...
It's actually the first time I saw him cry...
He's the type of person who would always bring a smile everywhere he goes, so
seeing him cry is actually something
new...
Seeing him like this made me reflect of what I just tried to do and the only thing
I could say was...
"I'm sorry..."
There was a silence at first but he breaks it and said...
"If you're really sorry you have to promise me that you won't do it again..."
"I promise"
I'm happy that he still forgave me that he gave me a chance to reflect for my
sin...
After that promise. I decided to live with Chad's family and they agreed with it.
As for my house, I sold it and used the money for buying new clothes and stuffs...
Now, I can start a new life...
CHAPTER 2: My Bitter Past
"Now, that you're living with us I can teach you how to play the piano" he said it
smiling.
"Yeah, lets practice (^.^)"
"Already?" He complained.
"I really want to play that piece so come on!" I said while pushing him to the
direction of the piano.
"Augh. Fine. So stop pushing me (-_-')"
"Hehe" -peace-
Kai taught me how to read notes and stuff similar to that...
Summer break is over, school days are approaching. Chad and I are both attending
8th grade.
Chad has many friends....meanwhile I'm stuck with Chad being my only friend since
I'm not that much of a talker. So
obviously I suck at socializing but I'm really good at my studies. So basically I'm
what you can call a 'nerd'. -Sigh- But
even though Chad has many friends, he would always hang-out with me.
~Lunch Time~
"You sure you want to eat lunch with me? I'm sure your friends are waiting for
you..."
"Nah, I told them I won't eat with them, I'm sure they're having their time of
their life eating with their fan girls" he said
it while laughing.
Oh! I forgot! Chad is our school's heartthrob....and that's another reason why I
don't have any other friend than Chad,
you know fangirls and stuffs like that.
School was always fun. Even though I don't have much friends....I mean even if I
only have one friend. Chad
spending time with me is already enough for me.
"Mid-term exams are approaching so you better study at home if you fail who knows
maybe you'll never graduate and
repeat this grade" my teacher warned us.
Everybody groaned including me. Even though I study, A LOT, I still hate mid-terms
since I have to bother myself
studying and this is the fact for all students.
-School bell rings-
Finally! It's class dismissal! My favorite subject! Unlike a while ago when my
teacher told us to study they were totally
hyped when our teacher dismissed us, I guess another fact (?).
Suddenly somebody tapped my shoulders and obviously it was no other than Chad.
"Yo! You didn't wait for me! I told you to wait for me until my club meeting is
finished!" he said it grumpily.
"Haha, sorry. I have to study for midterm exams."
Actually studying for mid-term exam was a lie. I totally forgot about it.
"You talk like you're the only one who's going to study...Well, speaking of
exams...we won't be able to practice piano
for a while"
"Yeah..."
"But on the other hand we can study together"
"No way! You'll just on my way if I study with you" I said it sarcastically. Also,
I mean it.
"Hey! That's mean...Who knows if I'll collapse 'cause you said something mean"
"Stop being OA. Anyway, it's the truth" I teased him.
"Hmmp. Come on just agree with it you're the class's top 1. I bet you just scan
your notes and tadah! all the files are
in your brain!"
Oh yeah I'm the class's top 1...another reason to be called nerd. -sigh-
"I'm not a computer! >.< And I don't wanna!"
"Please~ :3" -Looking at Jane with puppy eyes-
"Eww! Gross! Fine I'll study with you...I give up"
"Yehey! Victory is mine" :D
"-sigh-"
At that time I was thinking I hope he won't get on my way but since I don't want to
repeat the cycle I just shut my
mouth.
We've been studying for whole two weeks and the only thing Chad does is ask and ask
and ask and ask and ask and
ask and ask...So basically he's asking me ALL THE TIME! -sigh- Poor me...
Finally! After studying with Chad for weeks. It's time to take the mid-term
exams...
I can feel the tension on everybody...
So I thought the exam was hard but when I flipped my test paper...
"Hey! Isn't this only basics?!"
What the hell the exam's easy; what's with all this tension
-_-
*Class bell rings*
classmate 1: Finally! Mid-term exams are finished!
classmate 2: Lets go shopping!
classmate 1 & 3: Sure!
Overhearing their conversation made Jane think;
"I wish I could be like that -sigh-"
Suddenly...
"Phew! The exams were hard!" a familiar voice suddenly disturbs Jane's thoughts.
And yes it was No Other than Chad...
"Ummm...those were only basics, it's easy to answer basic questions" she sighed.
"A nerd wouldn't understand the WORLD OF IDIOTS...tsk tsk tsk" he reasoned
"I'm not a nerd!, but it is true that you're an idiot though..."
"What did you say?!"
:p
A week has passed and the moment of truth has arrived!
It's the day we get to see our test results
Somehow I feel the tension again o.o
Teacher: Here are your test results. If you want to know if you're in the top 50
just go and see the bulletin board
Oh right, the top 50... The top 50 is composed of students from grade 1-8...so
basically students who got high
remarks are there...last time I was top 1....-sigh- another reason to call me nerd
-_-
"Hahaha" chad's laugh disturbed Jane's thought once again...
"What are you laughing at?"
"Beat that! I'm 94 in English!"
"Right. F.Y.I I'm 100 in all subjects...well, except for P.E."
"Eh?! P.E! P.E! P.E! [rushes to look for P.E result] ... Aha! 96!"
"What a coincidence I'm also 96" Jane said then smiled. :)
And that made Chad speechless...
"Hey!" she said so he can go back to his senses
"What? You're going to boast about your near-to-perfect grade?"
"Umm that was you -_- ..... Anyway,lets go see the results!"
"Yeah, sure"
1) Jane Anderson .....(2-45)......46)Chad Smith...(47-50)
"Chad! Look you're here!"
"Where?"
"Top 46"
"Hahaha" he laughed as if he was mocking me
"Now where is my name......Oh,top 1! Again...Yehey! \(>.<)/"
And again, this made Chad speechless....
And so school days are over and it's winter vacation...Obviously there a lot of
things that happened....
22nd of December
"Hey, Jane! We're going to my grandma's house. Wanna come?"
"Nah, no thanks....I'm fine staying here :)"
"If you say so, Don't worry we'll be back tomorrow morning. Promise. So behave
while we're gone. Okay?"
"Geez, I already know that"
"Okay,Okay. Bye"
"Bye"
At that time I didn't thought that, that farewell was the last thing I said to
them....
Whenever I went outside waiting for their arrival I would always hear them saying:
"Poor girl, must be hard on her"
I didn't know what they're talking and I don't think it has any connection with me
so I didn't bother asking whatever
they're talking about
It has been 4 days... They're only staying overnight, what took them so long?
Every time I go out I would always hear them saying that over and over
again....This is starting to get on my
nerves....So I decided to ask the florist beside the house....
"Umm...(poking the florist)"
"Oh? I-i-it's you....I-is e-e-everything all right?"
The florist was nervous....REALLY nervous....Now, this is really getting on my
nerves....
"I was wondering if something happened, since, you're always saying 'Poor girl'"
The florist's eyes widen like what I just said was unthinkable
"Is it possible that you don't know yet?"
"Umm...No....Is there a problem not knowing it?"
Then the florist gave me a news paper....
I saw the headline of the news and read it...
'A FAMILY GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT'
"D-d-d-don't tell me....this family is..."
The florist bowed his head and said
"I'm sorry but that's the fact...."
"No!No! This can't be true! They promised me they'll be back, HE promised me!"
Unknowingly I ran back to the house into my room where I continue to sulk as my
tears keep falling down to my
cheeks....
"Chad, YOU IDIOT! Even though you promised me that you'd let me cry again..."
CHAPTER 3: Another chapter in life
And so my terrible past starts from there....
3 years have passed since then...I'm already a freshman in high school...
I don't know who started it but there's a rumor that everything or anyone that I
get contact with dies...
So I was names as "Death God" and thanks to that I've never had a friend...
Even though it has been three years already I haven't completely recovered to what
happened from my 8th grade
winter vacation....
Every now and then I would cry every night and before I knew it I'm already
asleep...
Even though I don't have friends I'm currently living my life quite normal...
Even though Chad's death has been confirmed I actually didn't try to check the
corpse.
I was too scared to face reality, I WAS A COWARD.
~Lunch~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
"Hey, I've been wondering...Why doesn't anyone try to talk to that girl?"
"Are you an idiot?"
"Jake's A BIG IDIOT... didn't you know she's the school's death god?"
"Death God??? What do you mean?"
"Rumor has it that anyone who gets in contact with her dies. So it's a no wonder
nobody would get close to her, you
too. You should stay away for good, Jake"
"Hmm...So that's how it is..."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
~Class dismissal~
"Hey!" an unfamiliar voice caught my attention...not looking where it came since
probably whoever that person
is...HE'S PROBABLY TALKING TO SOMEONE.
"Yo!, Nice to meet you Jane ^^"
As I heard my name I automatically turn my head and instinctively said
"Who are you?"
Not really familiar with persons on my own school for I don't really need to...
"You don't know me 0.0? That's odd..."
What the!...He's the one who's odd saying my name like we're so close >:(
"Well, since you don't know me, I'm Jake Chris. Nice to meet you ^^"
Jake Chris? Wait, this name, somehow it's ringing a bell...
This name sounds so familiar =,=...Ah!
"Don't tell me...The school's prince?! You know, you shouldn't be taking to
me...There'll be rumors in no time if you
keep talking to me"
"Not like I care...It's only rumors"
"You shouldn't be near me, haven�t you heard the rumors?"
"I had but...It's only rumors, there's no guarantee if it's true or not...Besides,
you don't even look like someone who
can kill a bug =3="
"What do you mean" I admit I was pissed. >:(
"I mean you don't look like someone who can kill...Also, from what channel or any
news have you heard someone
dying just because they talked to each other? There's NONE, right?"
"The rumors are true! THEY died because of me!"
I cried as I remember what happened...
"You DON'T know anything about me!"
I can see Jake's fingers curling up forming a fist...
"True or not...Don't you think crying for them would make them suffer more?"
"Eh?"
"If they saw you cry, Don't you think it will just make them regret that they left
you?...That's why you should smile for
them, so that they'll be relief that you're doing fine even though they're gone"
He wiped my tears...I didn't know someone would be this nice to me...Even though he
heard about the rumor...
"I'm sure everyone has their own problem. Don't worry. Starting from now on, I'll
always be here for you. Got it?"
Didn't know what to say, I nod my head...
"Thank you...Even though I only met you today...You're really kind"
[Note: they're classmates but since Jane doesn't really mind her classmates she
didn't knew he was her classmate]
"My pleasure"
I smiled at him to show my gratitude.
His face turned red...
"A-anyway, since I'm at it lets go shopping. It's not yet late so...Lets go!
CHAPTER 4: A promise to fulfill
Jake pulled my arm...but I froze. I was too shocked.
"Huh don't tell me your parents won't allow you?"
Even though he didn't mean to bring up such a sensitive subject to me...I just
can't help but remember the past...
"My parents...? They're not with me..."
I can't help it, I want to cry...
Then suddenly he knelt to the ground?!! Then kissed my hand?!! What the heck?!! >.<
"I'm so sorry for bringing such subject..."
He knelt and kissed my hand just for that! @.@
OMG, people started looking at us....
"Huh? Ok,ok....It's fine...Just stand up! People are looking at us! >///<"
I saw a glimpse of his expression, I saw him smirk
"Stand up, Please...@.@"
"In one condition, LETS GO ON A DATE TODAY. If you don't want to, then I'll keep on
kissing you until all the
people here stares at us ~.<"
WHAT THE!!!
"Fine. Just stand up please!!! \(>.<)/"
"As you wish...^^"
And so I really went on a date with him...What choice do I have?
Jake grabbed my hand and silently followed him...then he stopped infront of a
clothes shop...but most of their product
were for girls and he was staring at them...
"Don't tell me you're a---!!!"
WHACK!!!
"Ouch, you don't have to hit me you know"
"Listen here. Before you think of silly things like I'm a gay. Please think about
it...-sigh- If I were really a gay, I
wouldn't have ask you for a date -_-"
"0.0 You have a point..."
"Of course I have! Anyway, come on lets buy new clothes for you"
"Eeeeeh?!"
He pushed me to come inside of the shop.
"Find this beautiful girl a beautiful dress"
"Y-yes >///< We'll try our best to meet your expectations, sir"
I guess even adults would fall for him...Well, he wouldn't be called the school's
prince for nothing, right?
~Few minutes later~
"God, why are they taking forever =_="
...
"Sorry to make you wait, sir..."
GULP
"I probably look w---"
"Amazing! Beautiful! Simply stunning! You look so good on that dress ^^... Seeing
you like that makes me want to buy
clothes too =3=...Fine. Wait for me, 'kay?"
"S-sure"
And so it took him quite some minutes before he came out of the dressing room. He
was wearing a mint green long
sleeves and a loose pants while I was wearing a sky blue dress with a white scarf.
I had to admit, even though it
doesn't really blend with the 'prince' character the clothes fits him really well.
"All right! Even though the color and pattern of our clothes are not the same at
least it's better than me wearing my
uniform >.~" he exclaimed.
"I guess so ^^"
After that, he paid the clothes we got...We went out...When I looked at the time it
was only 6:17...so early!!!
"Ummm...Where are we going?" I asked out of curiosity since we were like walking
endlessly...=,=
"To the restaurant!!! :D"
"Eh? But's it's only 6:17...It's still early..."
"But it's almost 6:30"
"There's still 13 minutes before 6:30 ^^V"
"If you're enjoying something...times go faster, didn't you know that?" As he said
that phrase I can't help but think
that he was so inspired about it...
I can feel my face getting hotter...
"Yeah ^///^"
"Hmm...Ha!...Don't tell mme you're blushing...Wah!So cute!" he exclaimed.
"I'm not blushing!!! >///<"
HAHAHA
"You shouldn't be so full of yourself >///< >3>"
"Ok,ok. My bad ^^V"
"Hmmp :["
"Hahaha"
"What's so funny?" I was pissed.
"Ah, you're pouting... :D"
"Huh" He's making me pissed all right.
"Sorry, I just can't help myself...You're just too cute"
"A-anyway we should go to the restaurant =///="
"You're right, Let�s go! \(^v^)/"
We went to the restaurant...Going on a date with with him today made me discover
new things about him like how he
dress himself so simple and how messy he eat...
After we ate, we went to the park...
Unexpectedly there were no people except for us...I mean normally this place would
be packed with couples
especially at night...
We lay on the grass and gazed at the stars...
There was an awkward silence~
"Umm..."we both said.
"Do you want a drink?"We both said again.
We stared for a while and laugh at each other and both answered "sure"
And so Jake went and buys some drinks...
While waiting for him I gazed silently at the stars...
"Yo!" something interrupted the silence...
"Thinking a lot? Here's a drink to cool your thoughts..."
He throw the can and I catch it...
"Thanks...^^"
He sat near me and we both laid on the grass...He told me stories and I listen to
it...
I can't believe he was this talkative I mean it was nearly 10:30 when he finished
telling all his stories...
"You know what..."I told him.
"What?"
"You're like a library"
"Eh?Why compare me to a library?"
"'Cause you've got a lot of stories with you...If you didn't know the time then
look..."
He glanced at his wrist watch and his eyes widen not believing what he just
saw...O.O
"No way! It's 10:30 already!!!"
"Yeah, and I think we should go home now..."
"I'll walk you home..."
"No thanks, I'm fine"
"C'mon it's this late, just a walk with me won't hurt. Right? ~.<"
"Ugh.Fine"
I had no strength to fight with him I was too sleepy.... =,=
When we reached my house he immediately left after some quick good-byes to each
other
"Oh by the way.."
"What?"
"You should go to school with that hairstyle ;))) it's cuter that way..."
"Eh? >//<"
"Promise me...okay?"
"Y-yes >//<"
The Next day...
I woke up, took a bath, wear my uniform and went out to go to school...
"Yo!" someone called out to me...
"Huh?" I turned my head and saw Jake infront of me...
"J-j-j-j-j-jake?!" I was surprised O.O
"Geez...You don't have to be so surprised, you know... -_-"
"W-whatever...Anyway, what are you doing here? Are you lost or something?"
"Lost? That�s crazy, Even if I'm lost I won't end up here specifically ya' know" he
said it sarcastically
"So? What are you doing here?"
"I came to pick you up...What else would I do here?...Duh...." Again he said it
sarcastically
"But you're not my service...-_-" I brushed him off.
"Oh come on, don't be such an old hag ^^"
He pulled my hand and carried me princess like and made me sit on his motorcycle
"Kya! What the hell are you doing!"
He started the engine...
"For a girl, you know some good words"He teased.
"Also, If you don't hold onto me you'll fall~" he added.
"I'd rather fall than hold onto you! Anyway I'm going do-----"
"No you can't"
Then he started driving....
"Kya!"
Giving me no choice, I hold onto him
"If I remember correctly, you said you'd rather fall than hold onto me ^^"
What the!!...Fine!
Since he made me do it I released my hands from him...
"Hmmp!.......................................Eh?"
Us, without realizing it......I'm falling!
I closed my eyes, I can't believe it...will this be my last day?
CHAPTER 5: A hint of romance
As I open my eyes...I can feel it...I wasn't scratched or anything...As I begin to
scan the place I saw Jake covered with
wounds...Now I get it...he took all damages that I should've get...Seeing him lying
unconsciously made me cry...As
my tears land on his cheeks...he started to open his eyes...
"Uggh...Huh?"
That was Jake, He's awake...He sits up...
"Jake, I'm sor------"
Before I could continue what I was about to say, he came near me and pinch my
cheeks...
"I-D-I-O-T, don't cry...geez, you're such a crybaby...can't you smile more
often?..."
"But I'm the reason why you have wounds all over your body"
"These? These are just scratches...And to compare this to the sufferings you've
endured this is nothing..."
"But---------"
"Stop, No excuses! Just smile...okay? Geez don't make me repeat what I've just
said.Can't you just smile and be
happy? I know you won't forget your past that easily but...can't you start anew?
Don't worry I'll be with you...Anyway,
speaking of excuses, I wonder what excuse can we say to the teacher, I mean we're
going to be late by the time we
get there..."
I followed him silently until we reached the school [ we walk since his motorcycle
wasn't working after that
accident...we returned it to his dad and was really mad at what happened ] ... The
teacher was mad, REALLY
MAD...But anyway Jake managed to convince the teacher about his 'excuse'...
~Lunch~
I wasn't able to face Jake...I still can't forgive myself...
"Yo!" Jake called out to me but still I tended to avoid him...
He tapped my shoulders and said:
"Hey! What's wrong with you? You've been avoiding me this whole morning...Do I
smell skunk purfume or what?"
"No, it's not that..."
"Then what?"
I looked at him with a I-can't-forgive-myself-for-what-I-did face...
"Don't tell me, you still haven't forgiven yourself yet?"
I bow my head
"-sigh- Apologize"
"Huh?"
"Apologize! Apologize to me! NOW!"
"Huh? What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
"I told you to apologize, didn't I? Apologize to me now. This instant."
"I'm sorry...(?)"
"Then, you're forgiven...^^"
"Huh? I-I don't get you..." I was puzzled...
"You've said sorry and now I've forgiven you...Besides, seeing your saddened face,
it's enough for me to forgive
you...Don't make things more complicated..."
"I'm real----"
"I've forgiven you! And that's that! ?Geez, stop being an old hag...be free, be
happy..."
'Be free, be happy' ... huh? I can never be free from my past...
"But I can never be free..."
Tears started falling down...
...
...
...
Then suddenly he kissed me on the cheeks?!!
I pushed him...Of course I would!
"W-why did you do that! >///<"
"That was a W-A-R-N-I-N-G"
The heck with that!
"W-warning? What's with that >///<"
"From today onwards you should always smile ... and crying is not permitted!!!"
"Who do you think you are? Giving me a rule like that!"
"The prince...who the hell do you think I am? F.Y.I, if you didn't know, I'm the
school's prince...you should obey
EVERYTHING I say ~.<"
"Why should I?" I complained.
He smirks...
"Just like a while ago...I'll KISS you EVERYTIME you cry...how's that?"
"T-that's insane! Won't you get embarrassed?! >x<"
"Not really and is there even something wrong with it???"
"W-whatever! I won't cooperate with it!"
"Whatever you say" he said it with a smirk
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
Will he be able to make Jane smile? Or will he make Jane suffer again?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
CHAPTER 6: A sudden turn of events
The following day�.
The door of my classroom opened and the teacher came in�
�Everyone we have a new student�
Who in Earth would transfer to school this time of the year?
Then someone came in�And I was so shock to see who it was�.
�Hi everyone�Nice to meet you all. I hope you�ll be nice to me since I just
recovered from a car accident. Oh by
the way, I�m Chad Smith.�
I can hear them chattering, probably because they heard �from a car accident��
No way�This can�t be---�This is impossible�.
I shivered�
�Does anyone want to ask something to me?�
One of my classmates raised his arm and started to ask�
�Why did you enroll here? I mean if I were you, I would rest a little longer since
I just recovered�And from the looks
of it you�re here for a reason��
�I think I�ve rested long enough. And the reason why I�m here? I�m here to claim
something that was mine long
ago�
~Lunch~
�Yo! Jane!� Jake called out for me but I didn�t respond
�You shouldn�t interact with her, come on, and let�s go!� Some of his friends said
�Quit it, it�s my choice to interact with her so SHOO!� he shoved them
�Fine. Whatever. Just warning you��
Then they left�.
�Yo, Jane�.??? You didn�t ans------�
He noticed that I was crying�
�Hey, Jane? What�s wrong? I didn�t do something wrong, didn�t I? Come on, tell me.
At least look at me��
I looked at him and saw me crying so bad�
�H-hey�What�s wrong?�
-SNIFF SNIFF-
�W-what should I do?� I asked him
�Huh? What are you saying?�
�He-he�s back�
�Huh? What do you mean he�s back? I-I don�t get you?�
For some unknown reason I continue to shiver�.
I�m shivering because I�m nervous? Or am I too shocked that he�s here? I don�t
know�
�H-hey, Jane?!!�
His voice could�ve gathered a lot of attention but everyone was out except for me,
Jake and Chad.
�Huh? Jane?� Someone said�
I can see Chad walking to my direction�
When he was near me, he asked me�
�A-are you Jane?�
I-I can�t believe it, it�s Chad. He�s right in front of me. Being nervous, I
continue to shiver�
And Jake seems to notice it�
Jake�s
P.O.V------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
Huh? She�s shivering because of Chad?
Even though it was just a hunch�
Out of anger, I grabbed his collar�
�Hey! What�s wrong with you!� he complained
Jane noticed and shouted �Stop it!� But I ignored her warning and still went on�
�What did you do to Jane! Answer me!�
�Hey, what are you saying? Just hold your horses...�
I was pissed on how he answered me�so I tighten my grip. When I was about to punch
him Jane shouted �Jake!��
Why is she protecting him? Isn�t he the reason why she�s shivering?
Oh wait, I don�t even know if it was really his fault�
�I told you to hold your horses, didn�t I?� he said it while fixing his shirt
�I�m sorry. I was wrong. I�ll excuse myself�
Embarrassed by my idiotic move, I walked out�
End of Jake�s
P.O.V------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What the hell is happening??? Chad is here even though he shouldn�t be?
And Jake�Did I say something wrong?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CHAPTER 7: Spaced-Out
Jake turned his back and started to walk away from me...
While having such a serious tension Chad butted in...
"A-are you really Jane?"
His eyes full of worry and hope...I guess he's really that happy to see me and from
the looks of it he is the Chad that I
know but...What's confusing me is...Why is he here? Why is he alive? What happened
during these past three years?
As Jake continue to walk away...
I was like a girl being squashed by walls of confusion...
I'm confused, not because Chad is still alive even though I thought he is already
dead, but because I�m confused on
what I should do. If I should chase after Jake and apologize to him or shall I tell
Chad of how much I missed him and
ask him why he is here? As I continue to break on my own confusion the more I was
being squashed. I don�t know
what to do.
But I know I have to do something quick�
SLAM!
That was the sound of the door being closed. Jake�s out�This is bad. I won�t be
able to catch up with him�
In a flash, I was able to decide on what to do�
�I�m sorry, Chad�
Chad�s P.O.V----------------------------------
I guess claiming her isn�t that easy after all�^//^
End of Chad�s P.O.V------------------------
I ran towards the door�I went out, leaving Chad all alone�
I�m sure he understands it�
I ran after Jake. I admit it, he�s fast. I even almost lost sight of him luckily, I
catch up�
Since I was running with all my might, I lost my balance then tripped�.
�Ouch!� I exclaimed
I raised my voice as I said �Ouch!� hoping that he�d notice me and come to help but
that�s impo-----------
My thoughts were cut-off when I saw him in front of me�
With his concerned look he said:
�Are you okay? Does it hurt? Can you stand up?�
�Y-yeah��
I feel kind of guilty, I mean, didn�t know he�d actually fall for it and that he
was this worried about me�
Anyway, going back to reality�I know this is my only chance so I grabbed his arm�
�What?! You tricked me?!�
His expression changed from concerned to a bit angry...
I bow my head and said�
�I�m sorry�
Finally I let go off my grip�
I don�t care whether he leaves me or not�
What matter is that I was able to tell him what I wanted to tell him�
I was about to stand up when I saw him still there on the same spot�I was a bit
shocked, I thought he already left�
There was an awkward silence�But I break it by saying�
�Was my sorry not enough? Should I beg for it?�
�Huh?No!...In fact you didn�t do anything wrong�It was me, not you�I�m supposed to
be the one saying
sorry�..And I�m sorry and I mean it�I�m probably acting weird�I, myself, don�t know
why�I might not know
whatever happened between you and Chad but�One thing is for sure�I was worried
about you��
I wanted to see his expression while saying this but his hair was covering my view�
I can feel the pressure on the atmosphere�
There was an awkward silence but it was interrupted when the school bell rang�
Our lunch is finally over�
Hearing the bell rang, Jake stood up and walked towards our classroom and I
silently followed him�
As we went inside the classroom, I saw Chad talking with our other classmates,
luckily, he understood me�
As the teacher discuss boring things�
As the �nerd� I should be very attentive but I was actually spacing-out, still
thinking what Jake told me a while ago�
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
What could Jake possibly mean by that? And Chad, Why are you here?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
CHAPTER 8: A whisper of confession
The class bell rang...
Finally! Class dismissal...I was kind of lazy to stand up...But anyway, I won't be
able to go home if I keep sitting on my
sit -_-...Just when I was about to stand up somebody whispered
"I love you"
o///o
So shocked about what I just heard....
My eyes grew wider and I instinctively turn my head to where the whisper came
from...
And it was NO OTHER THAN CHAD!!!
"W-w-w-what's with you?!!! >///<"
"Just to let you know that you're not in dreamland ^^ *peace*"
What kind of joke is he pulling?!! >///<
Then suddenly he grabbed my hand and kissed it?!! What the heck?!
Why do guys keep on kissing my hand?!! I'm NO princess you know!!! >///<
"Or did you perhaps you wanted that 'I love you' to be real" he said it with a
matching smirk...
I quickly removed my hand and said:
"What the hell are you saying?!!" >///<
"*giggles* My, my...I only left for three years and what kind of words have you
picked on the streets ^^'"
He's giggling? Now what? Did this guy recovered from a mental disorder or what?!!
Or did he crashed in the zoo and
became one of the animals there?!!
"Ahem, but that's better...That's what I wanted..."
"Huh? What are you saying?"
"Just a while ago you were thinking of something...No, maybe someone else. But now
you're like a pissed girl ready
to pout anytime...Well, at least you look a lot more composed than a while ago ^^"
Now that he said it...it's true...I feel like the pressure from a while ago is
gone...
But now that, that problem is solved...
This just crossed my mind once again...
"Why are you here?"
--------------------------------------------
Will Chad finally tell the reason?
--------------------------------------------
�Why?� he fizzled out�
�
�You�� �You don�t want me here :�(�
Eh? 0.0
�No, no that�s not----�
�You really don�t want me here T^T� he pouted�
^^� Auugh, this is kind of frustrating -_-�
�C�mon, that's not what I meant� I missed you�
�You did?�
�Y-yeah ^^��
�Hmmp!�
Now what?...
�That took you long enough before you said that�
�H-huh?�
�I was here starting from when the class started but instead of a warm welcome, you
left me� he started to look
gloomy -_-�
�Okay, I get it� I�m really sorry�okay? ...It was just that� -sigh- � FORGET IT�
-calms self-..
Welcome home, Chad�
His face turned beat red� something like this ---> o///o
�But hey, that doesn�t mean you can avoid my question a while ago -_-�
�Huh?...Ah, of course I know that >///>�A-anyway, lets go home� I mean, any moment
from now the security would
see us and would probably scold us. Right? And I wouldn�t want that on my first day
here ^^��
�I guess you have a point..But..I think you�ve got something wrong �cause it�s the
principal who is heading this way!�
�Oh, really? �smirks- then we just need to run for it. Right? C�mon!�
Before he could even finish his sentence, he held my hand and we started running�
�After few minutes�
Finally! Far from the school grounds!
God, I�m exhausted�
�We didn�t really need to run that far you know -_-�
�Hahaha�
What kind of response is that?!!
�What?�
�Don�t you feel nostalgic? We used to run like this before. Right?�
�Now that you�ve said it, yeah��
~Silence~
I started to notice that Chad was looking at me�
�W-what?�
�Nothing, it�s just that you look so different from before�I remember how you would
always wear your hair in
pigtails��
�Yeah��
�You��
�Huh?�
�You�ve changed a lot.. but I think you�re still the Jane that I know�
�What are you saying all of a sudden��
�Huh? Nothing� I was just mumbling to myself ^^ That�s all�And if you really want
to know why or how the hell I�m
here�Fine. I�ll tell you�
You probably heard the news that we got on a car accident and yes, that was true.
Yes, we got into a car accident�
But what�s wrong there was that I was able to survive. Mom and dad was severely
injured and so was I�But
somehow, after the accident, I was able to survive but since I was severely injured
I shouldn�t have last this long but
some resident there noticed that I was still breathing and helped me to the most
that he can. It wasn�t to late back
then so I was able to live and survive�He wasted so much money and I wanted to stay
there in order to repay him
but he said �You need to do something�so you shouldn�t stay here�. And here I am,
all alive and all in one piece..I
think it was a miracle of fate that allowed me to survive, that let me met that guy
and that I was able to meet you once
again��
Hearing what happened to him, I just couldn�t help myself but cry out of relief�
�H-hey what�s wrong @.@�
I began to wipe my tears�
�It�s just that�fate or not, I�m just so happy to see you like this..I�m really
sorry for a while ago�I mean he was the
only one willing to talk to me at school�he was my only friend---�
�Jane, I..�
�Huh?�
�I�ve been waiting for three years�I�ve been meaning to say this to you�
He moved closer to me�
Having such kind eyes�
He began to move closer to me�
And then he kissed me�?!!!
I Love You��
O///O
Was too shock to react I gazed with puzzled eyes, like my mind was at a different
place�
Making a move like that made me breathless�
Not knowing how to respond on something like that I run away�
Back to my house into my room�
>///<
�Why did he do that?�
CHAPTER 9: No need to rush!
Two weeks have passed since Chad transferred...
And he was like an 'Instant Heartthrob'
If you're wondering why I say so...Well...
Whenever I meet paths with him, I always see girls clinging on him...
And I completely avoid him...
Well, his confession was still affecting me and I can't face him right now, not
yet...
Sometimes I feel like his fan girls were glaring at me but I think it's just my
imagination...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------
"Hey guys!!!"
[Venue/Place: Chad & Jake fan girls meeting room ^^]
Shina [One of the fan girls]: What's wrong president? You seem angry...
May [President of the club]: Of course I am!
Shina: Why is that ^^'
May: That wicked witch is making Chad, sad!
Shina: Wicked... witch?
May: The Death God!
Shina: Eh? Then what do you intend to do? This is making me a bit worried...
May: Don't worry; all we need to do is teach her a lesson -evil grin-
[Fast forward to the class dismissal!]
-Class dismissal-
[Venue/Place: Near the lockers :p]
I was getting my books and was getting ready to leave when someone cornered me...
"What's your problem" I protested...
Wow, I can't believe there are still people who have courage to be near me...
Then suddenly a girl, who seems to be the leader or something, grinned at me...
Then suddenly she grabbed my collar and she was getting ready to slap me?!!
...
...
...
Wait, her hand didn't land on my cheeks...
I slowly opened my eyes ... and saw Jake holding the girl's arm...
And from the looks of it that was the reason why I didn't get slapped...
The girl was shaking, she was getting numb... Like something happened that was
completely wrong or in
short, something unplanned...
May: Eh? J-Jake...?
Jake: You're probably the president of my fan club. Am I right? And I can't believe
you don't even know ... The girl
you were about to slap is very precious to me...
Shina: Eh? Pres... I didn't know you'd sink that low. You were probably jealous.
And I can't believe that you even
made Chad as an excuse to get mad at her. Starting from now on you're not the
president. And you will NEVER
EVER become one again...
Then they started leaving her...
May: Huh? Wait...
She called out to them...
And then she followed them, pleading for forgiveness...
...Meanwhile...
Coming to a realization, that it wasn't her fault...
She probably realized what's happening between me and Chad and...
She was just probably worried and blamed me...
I made such a depressed look as if I was about to cry...Then suddenly...
"H-hey, they didn't do something wrong before I came, did they?" he said it looking
worried at me...
I don't know but I feel so touched, without noticing I hugged him...
And he seemed surprise about it...
"Eh?!...-sigh-...You should explain why you look so depressed. Got it?"
I nod my head...
I feel so safe...and before I knew it I told him everything...
Including Chad's confession...
He didn't say anything...
He just listened to me...
Just like how I wanted him to be...
Not until I looked at him...
I gave him a what-should-I-do face...
"W-what?...Don't tell me, you're asking me what to do?"
I nod...
"Yeah, I'm a bit confused..."
Then there was an awkward silence afterwards...
But he broke it by saying...
"Jane, I...I..."
"Yes?"
I had to answer, since he looked like he had something important to say...
Again, there was an awkward silence...
...
He looked at me with a very perplexed look...
But then he sighed to himself and replaced his perplexed look with a smile...
"I want you to look for the answer yourself. Don't ask me. It's not like I was the
one that was confessed to. Right? And
it's not like I have the right to dictate what you should do"
He gave me a smile once again then hit me in the head...
...
"Oww! What was that for?" I complained.
"Beh! >:p Late reaction...Hahaha...Cheer up, I'm sure you're going to be able to
find your answer very soon...no need
to rush, just relax. Got that? See ya. Got practice for my club. Bye"
Then he left...
"No need to rush...Huh? Geez, he should've explain it more...-sigh- Whatever...But
I do wonder why he left in a
rush...He did say he had practice but...If he had one, he should've left a while
ago..."
CHAPTER 10: Please forget it
[Venue/Place: Park]
"Look for my own answer...huh?...sigh...Will I really be able to find my
answer?...Ugh! This is too stressing!"
It was getting hot so I decided to remove my hat...
"Such a nice feeling! Now that I think about it...This is where Chad----"
Then I suddenly remembered Chad's confession...
Remembering such thing I can't help but scream...
"Kya---" >///<
"What a nice feeling!" something interrupted my scream...
It caught my attention so I decided to look for the owner of the voice...
I, myself, was surprised about who I just saw...
No way...It-it's Chad...Why does it have to be now?...
"Hmm?" he looked at my direction.
Shoot! He noticed...
I turned my back and tried to walk away...But he stopped me and hold my hand
tightly securing that I won't be able to
escape ...
"Hey, before you go...Please listen to what I have to say..."
His tone...He's serious...I calm myself...then he released me from his grasp...And
then he started talking...
"Hey, Jane..."
...
"If it bothers you so much...Please...Please forget about it..."
No way...When I finally decided to think about it...
"I think this is really for the best...I mean, you don't need to think about
it...This is r---"
I SLAPPED HIM...
...
I don't know why I slapped him but I kept on running...
Running away from him...
...
As I run, I suddenly bumped into someone...
I looked up and didn't recognize the guy, plus my eyes can't see well because of
the tears that are making my sight
blurry, but anyway to be polite I said 'sorry'...
He was about to say something like 'Please be careful next time' when suddenly he
noticed something...
"Jane?"
Hearing that, I looked at him again with a puzzled face...
"Who are you?" I asked him...
"Huh? Ah, eh....I guess you don't recognize me because of my messy hair...It's me,
Jake :)"
Even though I was having a emotional scene a while ago, I just can't help but to be
shock...
So this is Jake in a messy hair version???
"Well, putting that aside...Is everything all right? I mean, you're crying..."
I guess he noticed...Well, who am I kidding? Of course he'll notice...
"He told me to forget about it"
I can see his fingers curling creating a fist...Then he suddenly grabbed my hand?!!
"Huh?W-where are we----"
"You'll know soon enough..." he said it while making a mischievous smile....
We kept on running like we were taking an endless road...
We run and run and run and run...
It took us at least 22 to 35 minutes before we stopped...
"Are we there?" I said it while panting...
"Yup...C'mon close your eyes..."
"Huh? Why do I need to?"
"Oh come on, it's not like I'll sell you to some bastards you know...Just close
it."
"Ugh, fine."
With no strength to argue with him I agreed...
He grabbed my hand again but this time a bit gentler... We continue to walk for a
while...
I was about to say 'I thought we're there...', when he suddenly said:
"Open your eyes!"
I opened my eyes slowly and at the moment that I opened it, there were fireworks
popping one by one!
"Wow! Fireworks!"
"Like I thought so..."
"Huh?"
"It's a good thing that I remembered the fireworks display today...I thought this
might cheer you up and luckily, it did
^^"
I gave him a big smile and said:
"Yup, thank you, Jake!I'm totally fine now!" I said to him as lively as possible..
Then he suddenly hit me on the head?!!
"Hey! Why do you keep on hitting me!!! >.<"
"Sigh, lets say...Umm..How should I put it...Don't ACT brave on me...I probably can
see through you...If you're sad
about it, then cry...I don't need you pretending to be happy"
Somehow what he said struck my heart...
"I guess...you're right"
The tears that I have been holding, I cried them all out...
He patted me on that head as I cried like there's no tomorrow...
He has always been there for me whenever I needed someone the most...
For that, I am grateful of him...
He sent me home and the last thing he said to me was...
"Good luck, hope something works out between you two and good bye..."
I felt like something was wrong with his good bye but I might be imagining
things...I mean, it's just appropriate to say
good bye...
And with that we part ways...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"I wonder how will I face Chad..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 11: Setting you free� [Why so sudden?!]
Next day...
I had an odd morning...
I just can't look at Chad.
Luckily nothing happened but why do I have the feeling that something will
happen...
Meanwhile, Jake's P.O.V at
dismissal------------------------------------------------
"Chad!" Jake called out
Chad was in a crowd when Jake called him so they went somewhere where there are no
people
"Why is something wrong?" Chad started to ask
Then suddenly Jake punched Chad?!!
"Hey! Why did you do that!"
"Hey, just to warn you. If you don't do something about your problem with Jane, I'm
going to make my first move so
you better think of something or else you should be ready to regret this your whole
life..."
You better think something Chad...
I'm not always this kind...
I wish I made the right decision...
End of Jake's
P.O.V--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next day...
I went to school still thinking of how I should deal Chad...
...
...
...
SIGH -_-
Well, even if I did thought of something, the fact that I would see him everyday
wouldn't change...
If you're wondering why...well...it's just that HE'S MY CLASSMATE!!!
I enter the classroom and from the moment I was in, I let out a big sigh.... -_-
"Here goes the death god" I heard one of my classmates whisper
I guess I'm still the school's 'Death God'
I guess they'll think of me like that for------
"You shouldn't talk about Jane like that!" something interrupted my thoughts...
I went and look for the guy who said that and it was Chad
Chad?
Classmate: You shouldn't defend the death god, ya' know. You'll be cursed.
Chad: Cursed? Hahaha
Classmate: What's so funny?
Chad: Ahem, curses? I can't believe you still believe on those make-believe
things...Grow up! Would ya!
Classmate: Guess you don't know her enough...
'AHEM!'
Everybody stared at who said 'Ahem!' and it was no other than Jake!
Wow, even though he's being stared by people, he still can actually smile so
big...I guess he enjoys the spotlight...I
felt like he just had a grand entrance -_-'
"Allow me to correct that..." Jake started talking
"Actually, Chad here is Jane's childhood friend :)" He added...
Everybody chatter....
Somehow, when the teacher went in, everybody just acted like it never happened in
the first place....
-Recess-
Sigh...NO changes at all...They still avoids me...I guess that'll be my image
forever...-_-
---Meanwhile---
"Hey! Jake!" Chad called out
Jake turned his head and said:
"What's up?"
"A while ago...Why did you do that?"
"Oh that, it's nothing. Just treat it like a gift. It's a good thing that you
thought of something 'cause if you didn't, you'd
probably sulk about it ^^"
"What the------!"
Then suddenly Jake put his fist in front of Chad's face?!!
"What now? You gonna punch me 'cause you didn't thought that I'll actually do
something about it?"
...
"Punch you? Nah, I won't...That's crazy...I don't want to go to the principal's
office, ya' know... Lets say it's kind of an
salute or...that's that! It's something! Anyway, I hope everything 'bout you and
Jane would happen just how you
wanted it...Good Luck!"
Then Jake left...
Jake's P.O.V---------------------------------
I hope you take care of her, I entrust her to you,Chad....
End of P.O.V--------------------------------
[Skip the discussions!]
-Lunch-
As usual I was eating my lunch, ALONE.
Of course I would be, I mean, who in the right mind would eat with a 'Death God'
-SIGH-
"Hey!"
"Huh?" I wonder who said that...
I turned my head and saw Chad...
"Hey, can we talk?" he asked
"S-sure" I wonder what's wrong...
Chad and I went inside a garden...
"Wow! So Beautiful!" I exclaimed
"Umm, Jane..."
"Yes?"
"Umm..."
I waited for him to continue...
"I-I'm sorry for what happened last time...I-it's not like I don't love you...It's
just that I don't want to be a bother to
you...But...But..."
"But?"
"But I can't stop it anymore! I won't hold back!Will you...Will you be my
girlfriend?" he was blushing hard...
"Do I have a chance?" he fizzled out...
I spaced out...
I didn't expect it to turn out like this...
I can feel my face getting hotter...
Am I blushing?
I-I...What should I do?
Should I say yes or no?
I can't move...
Body, please move....Why can't I move?
Of all timing...Tch.
Then, he started to notice...
OMG, this would probably be a sudden turn-off...
He walk towards me...
Getting closer....
And closer...
And my face...
Getting redder...
And redder...
I closed my eyes...
Then he kissed me on the cheeks and then he whispered:
"No need to rush, I won't give up even if you can't tell me the answer now"
"O-okay >///<"
Someone's P.O.V---------------------------
"Yes, this is how it should be..." someone cried...
End of P.O.V---------------------------------
We went back to the classroom...
I'm still blushing but I shouldn't let others know or else another rumor will
start...
"Hey everyone!"
Wondering who just shouted? It was Jake for the second time...
"What again?" One of my classmates sighed
"Oh come on, at least be excited 'bout it...Right, girls?"
He winked at the girls and they all go 'Kya!' and something like nosebleed overload
^^'
"So what's it about?"
Jake smirk...
"Chad and Jane are dating~#"
Everybody was shocked...INCLUDING US...
Everybody was like 'What?!!'
Everybody looked at us...
Us, still blushing...made it look like 'Yeah, we're in a relationship' ^^'
"N-no i-it's n-not l-like t-that @.@" I reasoned out
Classmate 1: So even a 'Death God' fall in love, huh?
Classmate 2: I guess everyone has a cute side in them...
"Hey, don't you think it's rude? Cut the 'Death God' crap! She's a human too ya'
know!" Jake suddenly complained
"Well, I guess...he's right..." my classmates agreed
Everybody went to me and apologize for all the misunderstandings...
The teacher went in and all of us went back to our seats....
While the teacher was discussing I spaced out...I can't believe it...They said
'sorry' to me....
[Skip the discussions!]
Dismissal~
-School bell rings-
I stand up and head out then some of my classmates [girls] went to me and asked me
about what happened between
me and Chad...
And they were like...Ummm....Dumbfounded?....When I told them that I still haven't
answered him yet....
Marie: You should answer him already....
Joyce: Yeah, right....He might change his thoughts about you, you know!
Myka: You shouldn't make him wait....
Jane: B-but I don't know what to say...Can you give me an advice?
Marie: What now? You want us to dictate what you need to say? -_-
I nod my head and the were like ----> o_______o and they started to laugh
Jane: W-what? I didn't do anything funny, did I?
Marie: Hahaha...If we knew you were like this we should've befriended you a long,
long time ago....
Myka: Listen here... You shouldn't ask us about this kind of thing...Try asking
yourself. Do you love him or not?
Jane: I-I....think....I love him...
Myka: See? The answer just came out by yourself...
Marie: You should get ready and tomorrow will went well ^^
Jane: Tomorrow?
Joyce: You're going to answer him tomorrow. Duh. -_-
Jane: What?!!!
They patted me on the back and they smiled at me before they left...
They're so nice to me...I guess they'll be my first three friends :)
Meanwhile.....
"Hey Jake!" Chad called out
"What again?"
"Thank you..."
"Huh?"
"For a while ago..."
"Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't do that for your relationship to get better but
I did it 'cause I care for Jane"
"I know that, that's why I'm saying thank you..."
Whatever, not like it matters -_-.....Anyway, promise me...."
"What?"
"That you'll make her happy, that you'll stay with her forever, that you'll NEVER
EVER make her cry and that you'll
cherish her..."
"That sounds like a 'final message' but sure...I'll promise that...You can count on
me"
"Cool, that's great....Good Luck again!"
-------------------------------------------------------
As tomorrow was approaching fast...
I can't help but feel nervous and I can't help but wonder...
'What kind of day will tomorrow be?'
---Next Day---
I went inside and everyone went:
"The main couple is here~#"
And I came to realize that I came in the same time as Chad except that he entered
in the second door
OMG, I can't look at him, NOT YET. >///<
Then someone patted me on the back...It was no other than Joyce, Myka and
Marie...Then they pushed me getting
closer to Chad...
Same as the other group, Chad's group were also pushing him getting closer to me...
And before we know it we were so close...
Somebody whistled~#
Classmate: This would be a nice scoop~
"Now,now...you won't tease these two lovebirds over here..."
Everybody looked at who it was and yeah, you guessed it right... It was Jake...
Classmate: Oh Jake! Nice timing!
...
CLICK
...
What the?!! He took a picture...OF US!!!
Classmates: Nice one, Jake! Nice shot!
Chad: What the?! Hey, give me that!!!
Jake: No way, haha :p
Chad: Ugh! -pissed-
Jake: Do you really want this picture so badly? Fine. I'll send it to you ;)
Chad: What!!! No!
-Ring Tone-
'1 inbox'
Chad:Hey! Delete that!! >///<
Jake: No way! It's my souvenir...
Chad: Souvenir for what?
Jake: Umm, for this year...?
Chad: Whatever. Either way, delete that!
Jake: Oh, why so denying?
Chad: I-it's embarrassing!!! >///<
Jake: Oh, come on...From anytime now, you'll be kissing~#
Chad: What the!!!
Jake: XD
Everybody laugh, everybody was so lively and happy...
Like me being the 'Death God' didn't even happened...
[Skip the classes! jkz XD Just the discussions]
-Lunch-
Chad and I went somewhere, where there were no people around...
"Umm, hey...Have you decided?" he asked while blushing...
I nodded...I wanted to say 'Yes' but I can't...I'm too embarrassed...
And he seems to notice it, he patted me on the head and said:
"Meet me at the entrance if 'Yes' and if 'No' avoid me...Got it?"
I nodded my head again...So all I need to do is meet him at the entrance?
"Sure" I replied
He saw right through me...
Time passed and lunch break was finished...
[Lets skip!]
-Dismissal-
I went to the lockers and got my things and after that I headed to the entrance...
I saw him there...Talking to his friends and smiled at me
"And if 'No' avoid me" I started to recall...
I smiled back at him. Then his friends started to notice me and they started
leaving Chad and they look like they were
saying 'good luck' to him...
I went to him...
"Hello there. Waiting for someone?" I started the conversation
"Yup. She seems late..."
"What happened to her?"
"I don't know..."
"I think you've got it wrong, I think she's coming here..."
"Yup, I can see that..."
I don't know why I started a 'weird' conversation but we just laugh about it, then
he started to talk...
"You sure you want to be my girlfriend?"
"If you were going to ask that you shouldn't have asked me in the beginning..." I
said sarcastically
"But if you want to... Fine. I'll go..." I continued and walk away from him...
He chased me and said:
"No, no! That's not what I meant..."
I went and face him and stick out my tongue like a little child and said:
"If that was my idea from the start I shouldn't have came here from the first
place. IDIOT"
"Ugh, you got me there ;) But hey, can you make a promise with me?"
...
"You have to promise me that You'll NEVER betray me, that you'll NEVER be sad as
long as I'm here and that you
should never think that you're ALONE. Got it?"
"Yeah"
We sealed our promise with a 'Pinkie Swear', God, we're acting like first
graders...But what do we care...
And yeah, after that we're OFFICIALLY dating...
CHAPTER 12: What�s wrong?
Gossips here and there,
Our relationship has been the center of talks and conversations
But even though it's like that we'll just laugh it off...
We always have a good time but...
Jake...Something is weird about him...
Like he's hiding something...
But everytime I ask him, he would say "You shouldn't be here ^^ , you should be
with your boyfriend"
And with that he successfully escape my question...
Since he was always like that, I didn't bother asking him anymore...
Going back to our relationship...
Everything is okay... And for our first date we went to the amusement park...
He got a lot of prizes for me! Yay!
We went to a lot of dates that I can't count them anymore @.@
We've been dating for, I think, 2 to 3 months...
Who cares how long we've been dating?
The one that is important is the time we spent with each other...
Sometimes he would tell me what he did in all those three years...
I feel so happy to be with him but...
Why is it that I feel like something is missing?
...
He keeps on talking about his life...
It's not like I'm bored but... It's just that I feel like i don't want to listen
today...
"Hey, what's wrong? You've been spacing out..." Chad said while waving his hand in
front of my face...
"Huh? I'm not--"
"You don't have to lie V.V ... I've known you for years, and that 'years' is enough
for me to know if you're lying or not
V.V"
"I'm sorry ... It's just that I'm---"
"Bored of listening?"
"Not that, it's just that...no matter how much I want to listen to
you...I...I...can't bring myself to listen...something like
that..."
"Maybe you're just tired, lets call it a day, shall we?"
"Yeah..."
He walked me home... Even though I acted like that to him he was still kind enough
to smile at me... When we
reached the house, he left after saying:
"See you tomorrow"
Chad's P.O.V.....
"I guess I'm still no good"
End of P.O.V.....
CHAPTER 13: A change of heart
Next day...
I went to school with Chad but,
Unlike yesterday, he is the one spacing out....
"Hey! Umm...hello?" I said to him while waving my hand in front of his face
...
...
...
Hmmp.
(~_~;)
(?;)
Since he was spacing out, I decided to put my foot in front of him...
"U-ah-ah!" he shouted...
Blag!
He tripped...
He stood up, still calm about what just happen, and the fan girls all go 'Kya!'
Woah! In what world did you saw tripping was cool?
If you know one, invite me there...LOL xD
"I-I'm sorry....(?)"
"Huh? Oh, just be careful next time ^^"
That's weird...He'd normally lecture me about it
But today he DIDN'T... Something's really off...
~~~~~~~~
We went inside the classroom...
I don't know but I think there's something awkward...
We haven't speak at each other ever since this morning....
[skip]
-Lunch-
"Umm...H-hey, can I join you guys?" I asked to Myka, Marie and Joyce
"Oh, Jane...What's wrong? Shouldn't you be with Chad???" Joyce asked
"Ah, about that... I think he needs more time with his friends^^" I lied
"If you say so..." she agreed...
I'm sorry guys, I can't tell you ... Since ... I'm not yet sure... I'm really
sorry...
...After lunch...
He's COMPLETELY avoiding me...
He doesn't look nor does he speak to me,
There's REALLY something wrong...
I wonder if yesterday's issue was such a big deal...
-Class Dismissal-
He went to me...
Will he finally tell the reason?...
...
"Hey, you can go home without me starting today..." Chad told me with a straight
face...
Tears went down...
"What did I do?"
I just can't help but think that...
But even though he said that, I eagerly waited for him outside near the lockers...
Meanwhile....
Chad and Jake are still in the classroom....
Jake was writing something....
"Jake!" Chad called out
...
...
...
...
-still continues to write-
"Hey!!!" Chad yelled, like any other person , of course, he's pissed
Chad's voice was so loud it made Jake lost his concentration as well as his balance
and eventually he fell -.-
"Ouch..."
Jake stood up...
"Woah" Chad said
"What do you need?" Jake said with a little irritation
"You seem to be quite engulfed in what you're writing..."
Chad being curious he decided to grab the paper but Jake grabbed it quickly
"No! You shouldn't know what's written in here!" he said with a very anxious
voice...he said while crumpling the paper
Then all of a sudden someone came in,
"Hey Jake, lets go!" he shouted
"Ah yes...Sorry Chad, maybe tomorrow can wait?"
Then something slipped from Jake's hand 0.0
...
"Hey isn't this what Jake was writing a while ago?"
Chad picked it up, uncrumples it and he began to read...
...
...
...
-After reading-
"Why am I so unfortunate? Damn you, Jake, for existing....I guess I'm no match for
you" Chad whimpered
Chad decided to leave the room still holding the paper....
-Finally out-
I noticed that Chad was out....
"Chad!" I called out to him
"Huh?" he looked at my direction, realizing that it was me he avoided me and
started walking away...
Me just plainly weird out, I chased him...
"H-hey was yesterday such a big thing?" I asked
Then suddenly Chad pinned me on the lockers using one hand
"C-Chad?"
He looked at the side and said:
"Lets break up"
"W-why?"
He looked downward then he looked at me and smiled
He released me...
"I'm sure you'll know soon" he said with a very kind voice
He kissed me on the cheek and said:
"Goodbye"
He took one step backward turn his body and began walking away....
Now, I'm all alone....
CHAPTER 14: Friends forever�
It has been weeks since we broke up,
And not even a tear would come out of my eye
I don't know why but I haven't cried yet
I didn't cry like when I heard that he died
Before, even though I didn't have concrete evidence of his death I cried all night
Yet, now...
It's not like I'm happy about it and it's not like I don't care
I just....I really don't know why...
...
At school, we're still smiling at each other
Only my friends knows it except for us
They would always sympathise me and I'm grateful that they care,
But, going to me and Chad's business, even though we're smiling at each other like
nothing happened at all I feel
like... There's something awkward, something like unknown truth/reason, something
like that..
With that, I can't help but think 'Why did he broke up with me?'
-------------------
Lately, I have noticed Jake's absence
It's not likely of him to skip classes nor does he like to be absent on classes...
I wonder what happened...
[Skip]
-Lunch-
"Say, have you seen Jake?" I asked to my friends
"I know you're worried about your friend but shouldn't you be more worried about
your----" Myka reasoned out but I
cut her off
I don't know why but I feel like something inside me trigger and snapped
"Jake is also important!" I shouted at Myka
And before I knew it, I threw my bag on her
Going back to my senses,
I was shocked by what I've done
"I-I-I'm s-s-sorry"
"No, no...It's okay, I've said something horrible anyway..." She reassured me
Embarassed and guilty of what I've done,
I grabbed my bag and ran away from them
"Jane?" Myka said but as I continue to ran away her voice become thinner and
thinner I wasn't able to hear what she
was saying
...
I ran to the bathroom,
Nobody was there,
I went in and face the mirror
Looking at my reflection I started remembering what happened a while ago
I burried my fist on the sink and I began asking myself
"What's wrong with me?"
Next day
[Morning]
I don't want to go school yet...
I'm sure they hate me... Especially Myka...
But , anyway, no matter what excuse I can think of I still need to go to school...
I took a bath, brushed my teeth, prepared myself, ate my breakfast and went outside
and head out to school...
As I was walking to the school, as to my surprise, I saw Myka... Standing...
Standing together with her concerned
look...
She looked at me one last time and then she knelt then bow down to me?!!
"H-hey what are you doing?" I started to ask...
Good thing there were nobody who cared
"I-I-I'm sorry about yesterday... I-I shouldn't have said something like that...
I'm so sorry" she started to speak... She
was trembling... Obviously she was guilty but in this case/scenario I should be the
one saying sorry... But,
I can't believe it she's that worried?
"Stand up" I commanded but she didn't even bother to move an inch
"Stand!" I shouted
Startled by my voice she began to stand up, she was still trembling, and as she
look at me...
I noticed the streak of tears on her cheeks, she was crying...
I run to her and hugged her...
"Jane?" she asked
"Stealer!" I shouted at her
"Huh?"
"I'm supposed to be the one saying sorry! Idiot!"
"Eh?"
"I'm sorry Myka, will you forgive me?"
"Of course" she said with a very kind voice as she said this line I saw her
smile...
We smiled at each other and went to school together...
Btw, I also said sorry to Joyce and Marie :)))
I'm so happy that, that problem is solved but the fact that I still need to figure
out something still remains...
CHAPTER 15: Realize something
Time passes by and it was already our winter vacation
I remember how I would always sulk during winter vacation because I always thought
that Chad died around this
time..
But as I remember that now,
I can't help myself but feel pathetic...
Sigh, I guess I'll be celebrating my winter vacation like how I used to, ALONE on
christmas...
I know I am having a very emotional time but that was interrupted when my cellphone
rang... And '1 message'
popped on the screen
"Huh? Who might it be?" was what I thought
From: Myka
Subject: None
Hey!!! Before christmas lets go shopping!!!
It'll be fun I promise! 10:30am 'kay? o((^.^))o
I giggled at myself
Well, I guess, there are still things that changed...
Much to my surprise, Myka would always visit along with Joyce and Marie
Sometimes they annoy me but sometimes they would help me with the household
chores :DDD
And on the day before christmas we went shopping
Buy this and buy that
We exchanged presents and so many more
Like what she said, it was fun!
But it's kind of lonely 'cause I won't be with them since they'll be with their
'boyfriends'... -_- Though Myka said she'll
just be busy doing things at her house
-Christmas-
God, it's so boring!!!
Now that I think about it, I wonder what kind of things I do during this times
before...
I think I'd probably sleep all day not caring what kind of day is today... ^^'
Thinking of pathetic thoughts, all of a sudden, the door bell rang...
"Hmm... I wonder who is it..." is what I thought
I headed outside and saw a mailman
He gave me a letter that is, obviously, addressed to me and then he left...
I went inside and I started to tear the envelope...
When I was able to create a small opening, something slipped
It was a small piece of paper
I bent down and picked it up and I decided to read it
Hi Jane!
Merry Christmas!
How has it been?
Well, anyway, this letter I sent to you is my Christmas gift ;)))
I hope you realize something through this...
-Chad-
P.S
It's from your beloved someone :P
"I hope you realize something" What does he mean by that?
I pulled out the letter he was referring to
I was surprised on how it look...
It was crumpled... Like it was intended to be thrown away... I open the letter and
decided to read it...
XX-XX-XX
Dear Jane,
Hello! How's your relationship with Chad? Are you planning on your marriage? Haha.
I guess you two are already
lovey-dovey.
Oh yeah, by the time you get this letter I'll probably would be in Canada. I think
I'll be staying here for a year or two, I
don't know. All I know is that my dad wanted me to study here so that I'll be able
to meet some of our company's
investors. Since 65% of our investors lives here at Canada. Also he wants my
education to be of high caliber or
something like that... Sometimes, I really don't get him... Hey, since I won't be
able to contact you for a long time I just
want to say that I
The letter was unfinished
But I think this letter is from... The 'beloved' that Chad mentioned is...
Jake...
Wait, tears? Why?
Why can't my tears stop falling no matter how much I wipe it?
When Chad broke up with me, I didn't even shed a tear... And yet, just seeing this
unfinished letter from Jake made
my tears fall endlessly
Don't tell me that 'I hope you realize something' was...
Don't tell me Chad was referring to my feelings?
I-I guess he must've realized it sooner than me...
Really, really... I'm so cruel...
Chad, I'm so sorry...
Chad's P.O.V
Hmmp, I guess by now... She probably received the letter... That slow girl is so
cruel, she actually made me a cupid
even though she knows how much I love her... Shit! I should've prepared myself for
this...
Crap! It hurts... I guess there's a lot to sacrifice just to make the one you love
happy...
I cried it all out when my cellphone rang...
Huh?
"1 inbox"
I wiped my tears... And I asked myself of who the hell might it be..
I grabbed my cellphone and read the text
From: Jane
Subject: Thank you
Thank you for everything. Really, thank you. You're simply the best, Chad.
God damn! Don't go saying that I'm the best when I hid that for a long time...
Shit! Wrong timing... Hmmp, I guess this
is the only thing I can do for her...
End of P.O.V
My cellphone rang
From: Chad
Subject: Friends
We can still be friends, right?
Sent to: Chad
Subject: None
Thank you, Chad
Sorry Chad if this are the only words that I can tell you...
Time passed... Classes are ,once again, here
Today is the first day of classes...
Chad and I are laughing merrily together...
"Hey, don't tell me you two are-"Myka blurted out but we cut her off and said
"Best friends! We're best friends" we both said smiling
Obviously, Myka is all weird out but we just laugh it off...
Everything is all right... I guess...
Right now, I'm allowed to move forward. Right?
CHAPTER 16: I feel empty inside and out
A year had passed,
I'm currently a senior at my school
And I still don't have any contacts with Jake
Sigh, I feel like I want to laugh at myself
It's the same as before...
Before, I lost Chad (or so I thought)
And now I lost Jake this time...
I wonder if Jake would appear out of nowhere just like Chad...
But still, I can't help but think of how cruel God is to me...
"Sir, what do you need here?" somebody asked to someone
"Nothing..." someone answered
"Sir, you should answer me seriously, after all we flew here from Canada"
Wait, did he just said 'Canada'?!!
That's where Jake went...
Even with unsure thought, I went to where the voice was coming...
I want to know by myself if it's him or not...
I went there as fast as I could and-
Omg! I-i-it's him!
Tears rolled down on my cheeks
"Jake!" I called out to him
He noticed me...
But instead of a smile his forehead started to wrinkle
"Hmm?" he questioned himself
"Is she one of your acquaintances?" the other guy said, judging from how he looks
he is his butler
"I DON'T think so...I DON'T remember meeting her..."
My world shattered bit by bit
Time had frozen
And my heart started to break
"Oh, is that so..." I weakly said
I'm about to cry but I know I shouldn't
That's why I'm trying my best to keep it all in...
He's not Jake...
I hope...
No!
I mean, he's really not him...
'Cause if he's really him...
I don't know how many restless nights I'll have...
Damn, God really is cruel to me...
~#~
"If forgetting is hard then being forgotten is a lot harder to accept"
~#~
"I'm so sorry for the commotion..." I frailly told them...
I tried to run away but before I got far away I bumped into someone...
"Oh, sorry..."
...
"Jane? W-w-what's wrong?"
I look up and it was Chad but anyway I immediately looked down, I don't want him to
see me this way...
I didn't speak I just kept on crying...
Since him probably knowing me more than anyone, he knows that I'll not answer him
for some time so he took the
initiative to look for the answer, he scanned the area...
And probably in no time, he'll be able to see him... And not that long he started
to speak
"Hey, isn't that J-" I cut him off
"Shh... He doesn't know me... Lets try not to disturb them, 'kay?" I said as my
tears flow in the wind like glitters
"But Jane he's-" I cut him off once again
"It's okay!"
At first, he was persistent but since he understands me, he gave up...
"O-okay..." he weakly answered and obviously he was disappointed...
I went out of the scene...
~Meanwhile~
[For the mean time it's Chad's P.O.V]
I lock a mean stare at wanna-be-Jake
"W-what?" he asked out of discomfort
"No, it's nothing... It's just that you really look like someone I know... I do
hope that you're not him 'cause if you're
really him... Well, I just can't believe it myself of how much of a bastard he
turned out to be..."
"Oops! Did it struck your heart? Well, I'm sorry about that. Then now, I shall take
my leave" I said it to him with a
cheeky smile on my face...
If you're Jake I hope what I said to you hit your heart in and out...
[End of Chad's P.O.V]
~Next day~
SIGH~
"What's up? Is there something wrong?" Joyce asked
"Does it looks like there's something wrong?" I sighed
"Of course! I mean, you've been sighing for like thousands of times you know!" she
exclaimed
"Oh is that so?" I sighed once again
"See? Oh come on, what's wrong?" she asked again
I remained silent
"Don't you have anything to say, Myka?" Marie asked
"Eh?...Ah...Err...I mean...I think this problem is something only Jane can solve...
>///<" She said a bit hesitant
"Aww, you're so cute! Didn't know you care for Jane that much!" she cuddled her
Well, at least I was able to avoid telling them about meeting Ja-, err... I mean,
someone who resembles Jake
Time passed
Classes were finished
I tried my best to act like there's nothing wrong
I don't want them to be worried
It's my business not their's
I shouldn't let them be involved
~#~
I went home
I was heading to my room when I noticed that a door was open
Still wondering why the door was open, I dropped my things and head inside
and saw...
...
...
...
...
Chad?!!
"Chad?!! How were you able to get inside?!!" I exclaimed
"I broke in" he said while sticking his tongue out
"What?!! How???" I said a bit confused
"H-hey, I'm just joking..."
"Huh?Then how?"
"Did you forgot? You gave me the spare key of this house 'cause you said that this
was originally mine" ^^'
"Ah, haha...Oops?"
"Sigh, sit here..." he said while patting the chair
I sat beside him
"Hey, still remember this?" Then he started playing the piano
[They were inside the big room that has a piano]
"Canon, right?" I answered
He looked at me
"Jane? W-w-what's wrong?"
I don't know when and why but I started crying
"H-hey, stop crying... You're making the piece sad..."
"How come?" I sniffed
"'Cause the one playing the piece is sad whenever he sees you sad"
I looked at him and he gave me a sincere smile
"I'll lend you my chest for now... It's okay to cry all you want... I know that it
hurts...So much"
Hearing those words I cried and cried
~#~
He would always pat me on the back and would always tell me that everything was
gonna be all right...
I do really hope that everything's gonna be all right...
I hope I would have the courage to face tomorrow...
~#~
"Hey, have you calmed down?" he asked me
"Yeah..."
"Here, drink"
Then he threw a bottle of water to me and I catch it
"Thanks" I said almost whispering to myself
"What? Sorry, I can't hear you..."
"Thank you for everything"
"No prob. You're my best friend. Right?"
"Chad..."
I gave him a I'm-really-sorry face
"If you're thinking about that..."
[That means the break-up]
"I'll be honest with you... It hurts... Now, now... Before you start crying because
of guilt I just want to say... I already
accepted the (harsh) truth... Sigh, I wouldn't have come here to comfort you if I
knew that I still feel sad 'bout it, ya'
know... Besides, there's a saying that goes 'If you love them, you should know when
to let go' and this is the only
thing I can do for you right now..."
Tears rolled on my cheeks but before he noticed I wiped them
I don't want him to worry about me every single time I cry...
I want to be at least brave in front of him
so that he doesn't need to be worried about me...
Besides, it's not like he'll be there by my side for eternity...
"Thank you" I said as I smile to him
He placed his hand in top of my head then he began messing my hair
"Hey, what are you doing" I said half-pissed
"Messing your hair" He said chuckling
"Hmmp"
"Haha... Ok,ok... I'm leaving now 'kay?"
"You won't stay? after all, this house is-" he cut me off
"Nah, besides if anyone knew we live in the same house then somebody might
misunderstand or if anyone reported it
to the principal then we'd probably be expelled ^^'"
"Well... It does make a perfect sense..."
"See?"
Then he threw something and I catch it...
It was the spare key...
"This house is as good as yours" he chuckled
Then he gave me a smile and left after waving his hand good bye
~#~
"May you find happiness, Chad"
CHAPTER 17: Your perfect romance, as well, as your happily ever after
Next Day~
I went to school as usual,
While I was passing through the entrance, I saw Chad together with a girl... They
were talking...
When (I don't know how) Chad noticed me he waved his hand at me and left the girl
Before I said 'hi' at him I glanced one last time at the girl and made a
mischievous smile
"W-what?" He asked
"You like that girl? :3" I teased like a little kid
"W-what? N-no..." He hesitantly answered
Moment of silence~
I just stare at him still waiting for the truth to be told ~.~
"W-well she-she's cute... I guess..." He blushed
"Oh really? You�re so honest ain�t ya? -_-" I sarcastically said
Then I pat his back almost making him choke
Then I gave him a It-is-fine,-go-for-it ^^ face
He was silent for a moment
"C'mon we already broke up. Go for it! I hope you'd get a perfect romance this time
^^" I cheered
"Y-yeah... Now that I think about it I was the one who broke up with you...
Pathetic..."
"You were the one who was hurt the most so it's not pathetic at all"
"I-if you say so..."
"Of course it isn't pathetic! Now go and move on! Geez I guess I'm being left
behind since I don't think I can move on
though..." I whimpered
"Jane..."
"Now, now don't concern yourself with me ^^ One day you'll have a family and you
wouldn't be able to be there for me
all the time... So... Let me trip and let me stand on my own... I'm sure one day
someone will lend his hand to me... I'll
just continue to wait... Until then, I'll work hard to be strong by myself even if
it's only bit my bit... Anyway there's no
need to rush. Right?"
"Yeah" he answered
###
Hmm... Now that I think about it, that girl from ago is my classmate...
I think she is....
OMG!
My fucking hell!
She...
She...
She's Myka!!!!
Shit! Why did I realize it just now?!!
~Moving on~
It was already recess...
Fortunately, Myka was with the others and is still in the classroom
I tapped her shoulders and I whispered to her
"Lets talk outside"
"S-sure..."
We went out of the classroom
"So... Umm... What do you need?" she asked
"I just want to ask if you like someone :3"
"Eh?! Suddenly asking something like that is..."
"C'mon it's just a yes or no -_-" I sarcastically asked
"Y-yes... >///<" she blushed
Yes! There's a chance that she might like Chad!
But anyway she's...
She's unexpectedly super honest :O Wow!
"Hmm...Is he... Umm... A heartthrob?"
"W-well... Y-yeah..."
"Chad or Jake? :3"
(Jane just suddenly jumped into conclusions and immediately thought that it was
around their school and probably
forgotten to ask if he's from other school -_-')
"Well... Err...He's... ... ... Wait! Why are you asking this to me?!"
"Oh c'mon, we're friends ~.<... I promise that I won't tell anyone :p"
"You promise? >///<"
"Yup, I won't"
"Fine... He's... He's... >///<"
...
"You really promise that you won't tell anyone?"
"Ugh... Yeah... -_-"
"W-well... He's C-c-c-chad... >///<" she fizzled out
"For real?!"
Even though I was expecting it, I was still shocked
I mean, there's still chance that it might not be Chad right?
Then she blushed deeply...
But when I think of it...
I met her when Chad confessed to me, she was already my friend when Chad and I
already started going out...
...
I can't help but wonder...
"How hard must it been to see her friend dating the one she likes?"
"I-I'm sorry" I fizzled out
"What are you saying?" she was weird out
"For being naive"
"Oh, you mean for not noticing my feelings? Well, it's not your fault that you and
Chad liked
each other... It can't be help anyway..." she said as she gave me a warm smile
"Myka..."
"Well, shall we go back to eating?" she started to walk away
"How... How about confessing to him?!! >///<"
I bet without even looking at her she's shocked at my suggestion
"W-w-what are you saying all of a sudden?"
"It won't hurt to try. Right?"
...
"But... That is..." she stuttered
"Right?" I said persistently
"... Ugh... It's fine... I guess?"
"Yay! Well anyway, good luck!"
Then she gave me a concerned look,
She probably remembered our past relationship
"It's okay... It's fine... We're just best friends 'kay? ^^"
"I-If you say so..." she said with a very low voice
Then we went inside
A Lot has happened and it's class dismissal and we went home! ^O^
...HoUsE...
*ring tone*
'1 message'
I grabbed my cellphone and read the message
From: Myka
Subject: Encourage ^O^
Thank you for giving me courage! Please, wish me luck! ???
Geez, of course I'll wish you good luck... You're my friend right?
I gave myself a contented smile
'Sure. Good Luck! :3' I send to her
...NeXt DaY...
Myka informed me that she's going to confess today at lunch and she's been praying
for like
gazillions of times now!!!
"C'mon Myka, if you don't calm down you might screw up"
SNIFF SNIFF
"So, you mean, if I calm down... I won't screw up?" she sniffed
"Yes,yes you won't" I said a bit like sighing
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Pinkie Swear?"
"Pinkie swear. You know what? You're acting like a child -_-" I blurted out
"Well, err, that's because...I'm really nervous and if being calm would make my
confession
successful then I want to secure that"
"Fine. I swear" I said as we made a pinkie swear
...LuNcH...
Shh...
I'm following Myka :D
I want to know what will happen
...Meanwhile between Myka & Chad...
"So what do you need from me?" Chad asked Myka
"I-I-I-I..."
Myka was trembling
She must be really nervous
But Chad patted her on the back
And hugged her?!!
"It's okay... You can take it slowly... I'm eager to wait so don't rush it" He
whispered in her ear
"I-I" she once again stutter
Then Myka clutched his shirt and buried her head on his chest... She was
crying....?
"Myka?"
"I-I-I really like you! No! I-I've always loved you!" she said as she was trembling
Chad scratched his nape and said:
"I'm sorry but I don't think my 'like' is like your 'love'" he confessed
Myka pushed Chad making her have a nice view of him
Then she grabbed his neck tie and faced him making them having eye-to-eye contact
"But you like me! There's still hope... Is it okay to date me even if it's just for
one month? A pretest
or trial will do... And in one month...
... I'll surely make you fall in love with me!" she blushed
Such a bold confession also made Chad blush
"I-idiot! It should be the guy who is saying those things but if I did say it, it
would be pointless
since you're already head-over-heels in love with me! >///<"
"I know right"
They both laugh
I'm so happy that Chad got his [near to be] happy ending...
But...
As for me, I don't think I can have it...
Hmmp...
I bet they'll be like this more often...
You know being sweet and such...
I'm so happy for them...
Chad finally have someone to care about other than me...
I hope Chad will love her more than how he loved me...
CHAPTER 18: I tried to forget
I left the place with a contented smile on my face
~Meanwhile~
Chad's P.O.V
"Hey, did Jane help you?" I asked her
"W-well to tell you the truth she did..."
"I guess I should thank her for giving you to me" I whisper to myself
...
...
"You're grateful of me?" Myka asked
OR NOT! Shit, I said it aloud
"Huh?! W-w-what are you saying?"
"You said it!"
"Did not!"
"Did to!"
"Did not!"
"Did to!"
"Na-uh!"
"A-huh!"
"Did not :p"
"Hmmp!"
"Sigh... Fine.. I surrender"
Then she kissed me on the cheeks?!!
I can feel my cheeks getting hot
"Hey!" I said
"Think of it as my way of saying thank you >:p"
Honestly... She's too carefree...
I can't help but smile...
~Next Day~
[Saturday, still Chad's P.O.V]
Yesterday was a nice day but...
How can I thank Jane?
I'm pretty sure she helped Myka boost up her courage
If only I know what happened to Jake then I could've known something that might
make Jane happy
-End of Chad's P.O.VIt's
Saturday today
I should happy that there are no classes today but I can't
How can I be happy if I know Jake doesn't remember me?
Just when I already realized my feelings...
And this is what's going to happen?
Damn it! I hate it!
My life sucks...
It's mostly filled with sadness but like I said 'mostly', there was still happiness
in it that made me strive to live until now
but now I kind of feel like I can't continue anymore 'cause it hurts so much...
It's hard to accept that he doesn't know me anymore...
It makes me cry all night...
This is too much for me to handle
I can't take it...
Ugh, I hate it! My useless, worthless, stupid self that is!
Why am I such a crybaby! I shouldn't continue like this!
I went out my house
I'm going to change myself!
-Next Day-
I went to school wearing my hair with a side ponytail, dye with brown and with
darker brown as its highlights
I went to school and Chad and the others were in a daze...
What's with them?
I was weird out
"J-j-jane! Is that really you?" Myka asked really surprised
"Huh? Of course it's me -_-' There's nothing to be surprised about right?"
"There is! A LOT!"
"Yup! A lot! Before you were an UGLY crybaby but now you're gorgeous!" Marie
confessed
"Wow, you really are my friend. Gosh, thanks for being too honest" I said
sarcastically
"I know right? Honesty is the best policy" she said
"Are you broken hearted?" Myka said all of a sudden
And there was a sign written on my whole face:
'She just saw through me'
Crap! She just saw through me and that's bad!
"W-w-why would you think of that?" I nervously asked
"They say that if a girl is broken hearted she gets more beautiful but I might be
thinking too much"
"Y-yeah you're thinking too much"
-Chad's P.O.VIf
only you know she's really broken hearted
I mean, who wouldn't be?
The one you love forgotten about you
It must've made quite a shock on her
but she looks really different now
She dyed her hair to brown and had darker brown as highlights
She looks like a delinquent -_-
Good thing our school isn't that strict
But still, I can't help but wonder..
'What exactly can I do for her?'
Even though they don't notice it, she's in a major depression right now
WHACK!!!
"Ouch..."
Myka hit me on the head
"What now? Don't tell me you're jealous O.O"
"What?! N-no... I-I.. I... I... I'm not..." she said gradually getting weaker
I pat her on the head
"Don't think of silly things, idiot" I told her
"Nnn" she agreed
~#~
Seriously what should I do?
No, actually it's 'What can I do?'
[Skip to Saturday!]
6:30 am
Ugh, *yawn* So sleepy... *opens fridge* What the!!! No food?!! Argh -_-* Sigh, I
guess I should go shopping -_-
Walking, walking, walking
I was walking when suddenly my eyes met a familiar figure
Jake? What is he doing here? His butler is not here...
*realize something* Wait! I can use this opportunity to talk to him
I mean, I can't find it believable for him to forget Jane
"Jake!"
"Chad?!"
GASP
Jake covered his mouth
Wait.. Did he just said my name?
No way... He still remembers us!!!
I grabbed his collar and punched him right on the face!
The impact made him lie on the floor
"What the hell's wrong with you?! I don't even know you!"
"Stop the act! I'm not deaf nor am I stupid enough to mistake what you've just
said"
"Tch.I guess the cat's out of the bag?"
He stood up
-End of Chad's P.O.VSigh,
today, right now
I'm buying groceries. There were no stock and the fridge was empty -_- No choice
right?
...Few minutes later...
I'm finished buying all I need!
I went outside and I started to notice two figures that were really familiar
Wait, those two...
Aren't they Chad and Jake?!!
Why are those two here?
Why do I feel like there's something I don't like that will happen?
Why?
CHAPTER 19: A sad revelation
"What are you blabbering?!" Chad shouted at Jake
Chad grabbed his collar dragging Jake closer to him and punched him on the face!
"What are you saying?! Jane is crying because of you!" he shouted again
Jake had a shock expression but it became calm after some moments
"Uh... Yeah... I guess I could say... I know...?"
I could see in Chad's face that he's irritated then he, once again, grabbed Jake's
collar and punched him left and
right. Jake was starting to spit blood yet he still remains silent. I want to stop
them but... I, myself, was scared at
Chad. I'm shivering. Chad is scary.
"You bastard! So you continued to lie to her even though you knew she was crying?!"
he shouted again
"I mean, I was her first friend in high school right? So it must've hurt to know
that your best friend forgot about you..."
Chad was about to punch him but he stopped his fist from landing on his face again
"Argh! She loves you! You IDIOT!"
Jake was stunned but it was not that long when it was changed into a perplexed look
"But that's too late..." Jake fizzled out
"What do you mean too late?"
"I... The reason why I tried to forget you guys...To be exact, Jane...Is because my
father already picked a bride for
me... In short, me fiance..I know you'll do the same if you were on my same two
shoes! I mean, it's for the best for
both of you... You'd completely forget each other and forgetting her will make your
feelings for her vanish..I can't go
against him..."
I'm at my limit already...
If him saying that he forgotten me made me cry for a whole night
Then how about now?
I've just heard that he wanted to forget me and that he has a fiance
I want to cry but no! I shouldn't!
I don't want to look pathetic and I already decided that I'd change my crybaby
self!
But still, in reality...
The impact was too much
The groceries I was holding dropped
And the groceries' banging sound took Chad and Jake's attention
No, this is bad...
They turned their heads and saw me...
I can feel a tear escaped my eye but I quickly wipe it off
I know that I should be brave especially on this times
I smiled at then
"Don't tell me she heard it all" was what Chad was thinking
I gulp and said
"Don't worry, I'm okay. It doesn't bothers me at all"
"Jane..."
I grabbed my groceries, turn my body and run away
Even though I was smiling, deep inside, I was crying... I was hurt...
It hurts so much...
I feel like my whole world shattered in front of me. I feel like time stopped. My
whole body was numb a while ago. I
feel like I just lost my care to the world.
Chad's P.O.V
I glanced at Jake one last time
I despise him so much right now!
How could he do that to her?!
But he looks like he regrets it, well, he better be!
Even though I know how much my punch hurts I won't help him, after all, he's a
bastard.
I turn my back and chased after Jane.
It wasn't that long when I found her
She was seating on the grass
With a far view,
You can see her brown hair gently swaying on the wind
If only I was a painter or artist I would've painted or sketch her
Or maybe I won't
I mean, even if the picture is good, there's still a hint of sadness in it
I walked getting closer to her
I can see her more vivid
She was crying... Tears were gently flowing down her cheeks
I went close to her and I gently pat her head
"So you're still a crybaby after all?"
"I'm not! I've changed! I was able to smile in front of him! I'm not the same
crybaby anymore!!"
Or so she says when it's completely obvious that she's hurt
I can see her hands trembling
Indeed, she's not that weak anymore but...
she's not that strong
I held her hands and pulled her head onto my chest
"Fine. I admit defeat. You're not the same crybaby anymore. You're not that weak
anymore but let me tell you this...
You're not that strong... It's okay to cry it all out. So what if you're a crybaby?
Everyone has flaws and that's who you
are. It's fine. Just let it all out. I'm always here to support you"
Then she cried it all out
And then all the waterworks made her fall asleep ^___^V
Well, she's gone through a lot anyway
Aww.. She's sound asleep -_-'
I should take her home
Well, I can't carry her on my back since there's no one who would help me place her
on my back then... I guess...
I should carry her princess-like?
Well, it's not like I have much of a choice -_-
Most people are probably still at home sleeping since it's still 6:30 something and
because normally the market would
open at 7:45 or 8:00.
Then wondering why I went out early?
You know...Exercise...Ahem! Lets put that aside
And so, I did carry her
I finally reached her house
Well, it kind of felt awkward
Well, it's not like it matters
Now the problem is..
How the hell would I be able to go inside?
It's not like I'll raid her bag just to search for the key ya' know
Well, actually, that's what YOU think
You see... When I still lived here or in short, when I was still young I would
always escape at night so that I'll be able
to play with Jane
The reason is obvious, it's because, of course, my parents won't allow me to
SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH
Finally! Found it! Hmmp. I guess even though years had passed it's still the same.
Ah memories!
Just looking at this backdoor makes me remember a lot of things...
Well whatever -_-
I kicked the door and since the door was kind of rusty it easily opened
Well, since it's a big door enough for 3-4 persons to fit in, we easily fitted in
Now, the real problem is how am I supposed to open the door to the house?
Then something slipped...
"Hmm?"
I bent and look at what slipped
It's the key O.O How lucky >.<
I put Jane at the side and after that I opened the door
I went in, of course, while carrying Jane
After that, I searched her room
When I was able to find it, I let her lie on her bed
Then I put the groceries to the kitchen
I quickly left the house after arranging her groceries
I used the back door so that she won't realize that I came inside the house
Ahem! Just in case you're thinking of me liking Jane, let me make things clear! I
already gave up on her! Everything
between us are now all in the past. Besides, I have Myka. Isn't that enough?
CLICK! (Sound of camera)
CHAPTER 20: A mess of emotions
[Lets skip Sunday! ~(o-o)~] -Chad's P.O.VMyka
has been avoiding me lately or is it my imagination?
I wonder what has gotten into her
[Lets skip to dismissal]
The class bell rang
Now I'm sure of it, she's completely avoiding me
I don't even have the slightest clue why
Myka was about to leave when I tap her shoulders
"Looks like something's serious" Marie said
"Is there something wrong?" Jane asked
"Lets try not to interfere with them 'kay?" Joyce recommended
"O-okay" Jane hesitantly agreed
And they left, leaving me and Myka alone...
"Hey, why are you a---" Before I could even continue to ask Myka of why she is
avoiding me I noticed right away that
she was crying. I felt guilt run over my body.
I held out my hand in order to pat her but she slapped my hand, in short, she
rejected me.
"I...! I know that you still like Jane..." she said as she trembles
But what is she talking about?
"I know that you still like her but... Could you please refrain yourself from being
so bold about it?"
Huh? What does she mean that I'm bold about it?
And where would she get the idea of me still liking Jane?
Then out of the blues something slipped
Disregarding the situation right now
I bent and checked what it was
It was a picture... Wait!
This was when I went to Jane's house...
Why does she have this?
Hmmm?
Then I just realized that there were more other more pictures than this
I looked at Myka...
Somehow, I fell really guilty...
She must've misunderstood the situation
"Well, it's not like I can just leave someone lying on the ground sleeping
especially since it's a girl. You know." I told
her
"H-huh? What do you mean?"
"Hey, don't tell me. Thoughts had been circling your mind even though you didn't
know the reason why I was there?
._."
"Well...err...That is..."
I sigh
Then I hold her head and made her face closer to mine
"Chad?"
"Cheater!"
"Eh?" She was puzzled
"Don't go saying things when you don't even know the truth behind it. Geez!...
And... And don't get jealous
anymore... 'Cause even little by little... The one I'm starting to see is you! The
one and only Myka! I like you! I
don't know if it's the same like as yours but----"
Myka shut me as she hug me tightly
"Shh... You don't have to say anything anymore... I understand...Really...You're
just making me fall for you even more
for you but... I have a chance right?" She helplessly looked at my eyes, her eyes
were full of hope
"You don't have chances anymore!"
"Huh?" I'm sure she was so shocked by it, it was almost like she heard something
traumatic
" 'Cause from now on you don't need a chance on me... Err... From now on you're my
girlfriend!"
My face was beat read and so was hers
"So you like me???" She hesitantly asked
Ugh, how dense can she get? -_-'
I, just plainly impatient -_-
I pulled her arms and kissed her
I passionately kissed her and said
"Ugh! How dense can you get?! I don't like you! I love you! Sheesh..." I sighed
Wow, it took me a lot of courage to say a simple phrase
"I love you"
She placed her hands in front of her mouth as she stare at me at disbelief
"What? You gonna stare at me forever?"
She didn't said anything and hugged me tightly almost making as fall on the ground
And thank me for like every other minute
"Thank you, Chad! Thank you!"
I placed my hand in front of her mouth
"Shh... Stop thanking me or I'll reconsider what I said...-_-"
"Huh?! That's so mean of you!"
"You don't need to thank me this much, all you need to do is say you love me even
just for a single time"
"You don't have to tell me. I'll say I love for as long as I live. But really. I
really do love you!"
What a nice day today. Even though it was left a mystery on why Myka had those
pictures but who cares?
I'm happy, she's happy. We're both happy.
I don't need unnecessary information.
For all I need is to be happy that's all.
I do hope Jane's going to be happy like me...
I hope...
Chad's P.O.V~
Hmmm, even though I said that I don't need unnecessary information...
It still bothers me...
Well, of course it would but
At the same time,
I want to thank him... or her....
'Cause of him I was able to admit my feelings for Myka...
I wonder who he is...
...
It's still 6:35 and school starts for like 7:00... or something
Dunno, not really interested in the time since I was NEVER tardy
Hmm, maybe I'll take a walk for a while...
"Did you give it to her? The pictures of Chad and Jane?"
Wait; did I just hear my name?
And it was about the picture...
I hurriedly check it out on who it was...
What the---?!!!
I was shocked on who I just saw...
It...
It...
It was...
JAKE!!!!
What the--?!!
So it was him who gave the pictures?!!
But why?!!
Ugh, I don't understand it!
So in order to know a bit more I eavesdrop a bit...
"Master, why did you want to give those photos?"
"Well, lets say that the girlfriend will misunderstand and the boyfriend will tell
her the truth so that she won't
misunderstand and the bf would tell her that she should trust her or something
soothing like that in order for her to
calm down or something like that" he pin-out as he smiled
"I don't understand you master"
"It's basically just to make their relationship better ^-^ After all, I'm sure
he'll make it out somehow"
"Why would you do something like that? Didn't you hate him for giving you so many
wounds?"
"Well, I deserve it and it's just a small thanks for being my rival ^-^"
"Rival?"
"We liked the same girl before... But if even though he still likes her I don't
think I'm worthy of being his rival
anymore..."
"Master?"
"N-no! I-it's nothing!"
As I eavesdrop I discovered something...
Why?
Why?
Why?!!
Why is he playing the good guy role?!!
I don't understand it!
It's confusing me!
But nevertheless, even though I'm thankful of him I still won't forgive him for
hurting Jane!
Next Day
Even though me and Myka are happy,
Jane is NOT...
Goddamn! I can't do anything!
As I was cursing myself, the door of the classroom open and a teacher came in
"New students please come in" as the teacher said that I was not interested in who
the hell these 'new students' are
since I'm far more troubled by Jane... Not until those 'new students' came in...
It was Jake and a girl!!! As soon as I saw this I glanced at Jane. She was staring
at them blankly like she DOESN'T
care anymore...
Her face was making an impression of "Oh, it's him" with an uninterested tone in it
"For those who don't recognize me, it's me Jake! I'm back! And this girl beside me
is..." Jake trailed off
"Aria! Aria Jones! And for those who like Jake, listen to me! Don't dare lay a
finger on him and I'm SO sorry for I am
his fianc�!" she gloated
Then everyone cheered
"Nice one, Jake! Only a year or two had passed yet now you already have a fianc�!"
XD
I glanced at Jane,
I was� Should I say� Stunned?
I mean even she, herself, was cheering along the crowd.
Like she was able to blend with the crowd easily and perfectly
If I didn�t know whatever happened to those two I�d probably doubt that something
sorrowful happened to those two
~#~
Jake and Aria were always sticking together
Like Aria was some glue, always sticking to him
Always making sure NO GIRL would go close to him
Tell me, what exactly is she?
A glue or a guard dog?
Ugh! =_=V
Going back to Jane�
How can she just act like that?
Seeing her smile like that pains me...
I know that I don�t have any feelings for Jane anymore but�
As her friend, I feel so sorry for her
After all, I know how it hurts
"Chad?" Myka asked as she waves her hand in front of my face
"Chad!" she shouted making me grasp reality
"Huh?" I uttered
"Geez, you're spacing out since like... Hmm... The WHOLE time!" she pouted. It
actually looks kinda cute. Then I
kissed her on the forehead
"Huh?" She said as she touch her forehead and as she blush
I just stick out my tongue to her and said:
"Sorry v.v Will you forgive me, my princess?" I said as I wink at her
"P-p-princess?!!" she said so surprised
"Hahaha!" I just laugh
"W-what?!" she said half-pissed
"You're so mesmerized by me aren't you?" I chuckled
"I! I...I... .... .... I ... am...." she said as her voice gets lower and lower
"Haha, that's SO cute of you" I confessed. At first she was a bit weird-out but
then I patted her on the head and
thanked her.
"Thanks. Thank you for loving someone LIKE me" I was being sympathetically when
suddenly she hit me on the
head. Before I could even complain she spoke first.
"What do you mean by 'someone like me'! You're the great Chad! The one and only
Chad that I fell in love
with! So don't be little yourself just like that!"
I was shocked at first but I grasp reality and said;
"Thanks, really... *chuckles* You're the best" I smiled at her and she blushed in
return
"You're blushing face is cute" I complimented her though it sounded more like I was
teasing her
"Don't go saying such embarrassing things!" she said blushing deeply
"Not really! It's the truth" As I said that her face went redder. Aww, how cute <3
Next Day-
They�re totally NOT having any contact with each other!!!
Sigh, they�re relationship is so bad�
Even though I hate Jake for what he�s done, I still can�t stand to watch this�
Ugh! In this situation, THERE�S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THEY�D GO BACK TO NORMAL!
Lunch-
"Jane!" I called out to, obviously, Jane
"Hmm?" she said as she turns her head
"Hey, what's with you? You've been avoiding Jake. I understand your feelings but
isn't it too early to give up?"
"Avoiding? Give up? What? What do you mean?" she asked as if she was innocent about
the topic
"Jane!" I shouted pissed
"Ok,ok. I get you. I'm not avoiding him I'm just clearly giving more time for him
and his fiance to be together, okay?"
"Jane..." I gave her a worried look
"What are you worried for?"
"Aren't you hurt?"
"W-what are you saying?"
"Did you just gave up like that?!"
There was silence... No, actually... Silence filled the place then tension started
to form but...
I saw Jane stick out her tongue in order to look cheerful
"Hahaha! Yup! Right! I...I...I... I already gave up on him! I'm weak! Laugh at me!
It doesn't matter anymore! I'm
pathetic! Call me whatev---"
She was forcing a laugh, she was also forcing her smile... But even though she
tried to hide it, it's obvious... She was
crying...
And like I said, I know how she fe--- Wait. NO. I don't think I REALLY know how she
feels anymore. Who knows if she
has a lot going on... Maybe... Just maybe, she's actually sadder than how she
actually looks to be... But one thing's
for sure... I know, I just know, she's DEFINITELY hurt.
And before she can even continue her bickering I sealed her in a hug and patted her
head and caress her hair
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I won't say that I know how you feel 'cause to tell you the
truth, I don't really know how you must
be feeling right now" I said as I continue to hug her
I pity her
I want to do lots of things just for her to be happy again but...
I'm NOT the right guy for that specific role...
I'm NOT the guy who can lift the burden in her heart...
I'm NOT the guy who can make her happy...
I'm NOT the guy who can bring her back to how she was before...
I'M NOT...
'Cause my role is to be just her friend, NOT to be her savior nor her prince
'Cause that role... only applies to Myka not Jane...
Then she moved a bit and said:
"Can I be broken?"
She probably means if she can just break into pieces and get hurt...
Then I hugged her again. I can't bear to see her hurt...
Then all of a sudden she pushed me and said:
"Thank you. Please DON'T get near me anymore. You�ve finally recovered. Now you
have your happy and
new beginning. DON�T waste your time on me. Besides, I don't want to be your bad
luck so please DON'T
involve yourself with me again anymore" she said and after that she went away from
me. Too shock on what I
heard I just watched her as she disappears along in the thin air.
EPILOGUE: Bitter or Sweet?
It has been days... No... Even weeks...
Jane has been avoiding people
She doesn't even hang out with Myka and the others anymore...
Myka has been really worried so I decided to tell her everything
We both pitied her though we know that we can't do anything
My patience run loose.
It's already dismissal.
I went to Jake.
Luckily, Aria wasn't with him so I decided to use this opportunity and said that I
need to talk to him, man to man.
He was hesitant at first but he agreed in the end
We went to this park, there were no people.
When we already settled I punched him on the face
He was pissed
"What the hell was that for?!" he said really pissed
"Damn you! Shit! Bull shit! It's your fault that Jane is all screwed! Bring her
back to how she was before! Please... Let
her smile..."
If I were violent at first right now I'm crying as I hold his collar.
He was silent.
"What does it take for you to go to her?"
I started to ask.
He was shocked at first but his expression went to normal afterwards then he said
"I want to go to her but..."
"Then why don't you just go to her?!"
"My dad won't allow me..."
I don't know why but I felt like something snapped inside of me that made me punch
him
"Then I'll rephrase my question! What does it take to open your eyes?! You're such
a coward! Stop thinking
just yourself, bastard! So what if you're father won't allow you?! He isn't the one
who orders every move you
do, you know! Have you even tried to fight for what you want?! Can't you see she's
suffering?! Are you that
blind?! Damn I gave her up for you yet this is what you do?! Damn! Wake up man!
Wake up!"
As I said those words I continued to punch him and once I got tired I pushed him
aside and sat on the ground and
cried
"She's already miserable... Don't make it worse... She's crying, suffering... Why
can't you understand it, huh?!
I've given her up for you! Are you really Jake?! How di you become such a coward?!
Answer me!" I
demanded
"Please... Please let her smile... She's like a family to me... She's important to
me... Why can't you understand
it? Why can't you get it?" I wailed
"I understand it... I get it..."
"Then why?! Why can't you go to her?! Why won't you save her?! 'Cause your daddy
won't allow you?!He's not the
one who decides everything you know! Screw hell man!! Screw hell! Tch. I might kill
you if I stayed here a little longer.
I'm going" I said as I storm out
End of Chad's P.O.VJake's
P.O.V-
"Then you should just stay and kill me" I thought as he walks away
I went home and bang my head on the wall
Shit! Damn! Damn! Damn!
Why can't I do anything for her?!
Why?! Tsk.
God must be laughing at me right now...
Ugh! I hate it!
Why can't I do anything?!
Next Day-
It's Saturday and it's already evening.
We were having dinner.
I just stare blankly at my father.
"Why can't I defy him? Why am I so weak in front of him? Does it relate to him
being my father? Why?!"
I curled my fist as I thought of those.
I'm sick of myself
"How come I'm such a coward?"
I storm out of the dining room and went inside my room.
I rest my body on my bed and I began to sulk.
I cried thinking of how powerless I am and how i hate it.
Of how much of a cowardice I am.
I hate it all! Actually, no, what I hate is my whole self.
"Why can't I do anything that I want?"
I don't know how but suddenly this thought went to my mind.
" 'Cause you never tried to do something at your will"
Now that I think about it, it's true.
I didn't try nor did I even thought of that.
As I figure out my own idiocy I began to sulk even more.
I sulk to my foolish well-being
"How come I realized it just now?"
I hate it.
I'm so foolish
Next Day-
Today is Sunday.
I decided to talk with dad.
If you're wondering why my dad is here all of a sudden,
It's because he wanted to know about the progress about my relationship with Aria
but I'm afraid I might disappoint
him.
Well, whatever.
That doesn't matter anymore.
I walked closer to his room and heard some foot steps that are not mine.
I scan the hallway but there wasn't any people around.
"Must be my imagination. I'm too nervous" I sighed and breathe heavily then
afterwards I came in the room.
"What kind of business do you want to talk about?"
"Dad... Lets break the contract about me being Aria�s fianc�. I'm sick of
pretending!" At last, I finally said it! I feel like a
big burden was gone but he punched me in return.
I touch the place where he punched me. Ouch, it hurts. I've been receiving a lot of
punches lately, haven't I?
"Foolish impudent brat! This is the last time you'll make me proud yet you chose to
waste it?!"
I smiled at myself
"Indeed, I am your foolish son. I won't listen to you for I don't understand you.
Indeed, I am foolish, that's why I'm
begging you to break the contact"
Then all of a sudden, to my surprise, the door open and Aria went in with a pissed
expression on her face
"I knew it! You like that girl, didn't you?! I saw you glancing at her! But why?!
What's the purpose of going back to
her?! She probably gave up on you! And considering that you've hurt her you have a
very slim chance of being
forgiven! Why won't you get contented just by me!?"
All of she said was true. Yes, I have a very slim chance but I don't care about it
anymore. I don't care if she will
forgive me or not after all, I don't plan to tell her from the start. And besides I
did risk this the moment I opposed dad.
And besides, if I told her this it might just confuse her so I better not.
Chad, I've also given up on her... I guess we're quits! Sigh, I'm so pathetic
aren't I?
"Stop it. You'll only get hurt if I let you do as you please and I don't care if
she doesn't forgives me. It doesn't matter
anymore. I just want to free myself. I want to stop fooling myself so... Dad...
Please" I said as I bow my head
There was an uneasy tension
"...Tch. Foolish brat. Do what you want" he vaguely agreed
Aria had a very pissed look on her face while dad... well... was still calm. But at
last, I'm free.
I wish Jane is also free like me.
I hope...
But anyway I had decided on something except for breaking the contract
"Dad..."
"Hmm? What?"
End of Jake's P.O.VNext
Day-
Chad's P.O.VI
went to school.
I wonder what happened to that bastard?
I hope he realized his sins.
I went inside the classroom and saw Aria.
The thing is, Jake wasn't with him.
Weird. Normally he'd be sticking with Jake.
What a rare sight
So as my curiosity strikes I ask Aria where the heck was Jake
She was a bit shock
"You didn't know?"
I build a puzzled face and I swear you can see question marks all over my face.
I was weird-out.
"What do you mean 'you didn't know'?"
"Oh, so you really didn't know"
As she said that she started narrating
Yesterday Night-
Continuation to Jake's P.O.VJake's
P.O.V for the whole flashback-
"Dad..."
"Hmm?What?"
"Dad, I want to go back to Canada. I know this is too much and I also know that I
just enrolled here at my current
school but I want to go back to Canada and go to my past school there. Please..."
"What is the reason you want to go back to Canada when you were so persistent to go
back here?"
I smiled at myself making my dad confused
"I want to escape" I said
"From what?"
"Reality"
Even though he didn't get what I said he still agreed to it
End of continuation-
Chad's P.O.V-
"So you're saying to me that he went back already?!" I irritatedly asked
"Not really and let me tell you this. He's not my fiance anymore" she said in a
cold tone.
"You've got to be kidding me" I said in disbelief
"I'm not kidding you. It's true, believe me"
"Then why does he need to run away?!"
"I don't know"
"Tch" was the only thing I could say
"He hasn't gone there yet. He's flight is at 10:00am and it's still 7:00am so 3
hours more or less"
I was about to run to the taxi to go to the airport but she stopped me
"What?!" I ask irritatedly asked
"What do you plan to do once you've reached the airport and saw him? Kick his ass
and punch him till death? Fool.
What can you even do to change his mind? Call Jane to go to the airport!"
"But right now she's---"
"Right now she's losing her mind out of depression and Jake is losing hope"
I calm down a bit. Huh?
"Losing hope?" I uttered
"I think I understand now why he wanted to go back to Canada"
After that she stated her opinion.
I guess I understand a bit.
Geez, what a complicated guy he is but right now it's not the right time to be
complementing that bastard.
I went and searched for Jane.
She hasn't entered the classroom so I searched for her.
Before I could go out the gates in order to go to her house I saw her sitting on a
bench blankly staring at the sky.
I went to her and approached her
"Go to the airport!"
"Why should I?" she said in a blank tone
"Just go there! Jake... He's... He's leaving!"
"So what?"
"Huh? Don't you love him?"
"I don't. I gave up on him"
"If you don't love him then why are you crying?"
Even though she was saying things in a blank tone, tears were flowing in her
cheeks.
"Why won't you go to him?"
She remain silent
"Why?!" I raised my tone a bit
Then she put her knuckles in front of her eyes
"I...I...I don't... Anymore.... I don't want to get hurt anymore..." she sniffed
"Doesn't it hurt more to do nothing? If you don't go now you might regret it"
"Huh? What do you mean 'regret it'"
"Aria said this..."
What happened a while ago-
"I think I understand why Jake wanted to go back to Canada"
"Why?"
"He knows that Jane was drastically affected by his actions and maybe he thought
distancing himself
might help Jane forget him and whatever feelings Jane has for him. He probably
wants to distance
himself in order to disappear after her. That's why she's going back to Canada"
"What an idiot. It doesn't fix anything, does he know that?"
"I know"
End of what happened a while ago-
"You've got to be kidding me" she said in disbelief
"I'm not" I said as I pat her head
"Now go!"
But she didn't move an inch instead she looked at me with wavering hope in her
eyes.
I, once again, pat her on the head and said
"You can do it!"
"You really think so?"
"Yeah, so stop wasting time and go!"
"Y-yeah"
She said as she ran away
"Good luck" was the last thing I said
End of Chad's P.O.VI
helplessly run towards outside the school.
My school wasn't that strict so there was no need to deal with security guards for
there were any from the first place.
I run a little more in order to reach a place where taxis were on a line.
I hurriedly run to the nearest taxi I saw and told the driver to go to the airport.
...
It's already 8:57. Crazy, isn't it?
Just a while ago while I was talking to Chad it was still 7:00 something yet right
now it's almost 9:00
Before I left school, Chad told me that Jake's flight would be at 10:00 o'clock
So, I still have an hour and 3 minutes.
Damn! I'm still far away from the airport!
Stupid traffic! I'm not even hallway there yet!
And just like that, 3 minutes went by quickly and I'm still sitting here on the
same car on the same spot.
Damn! I only have an hour left!
As I panic, times continues to tick...
If I continue to panic any time soon I'll be having less than an hour doing
nothing!
"How much time do I need in order to get there to the airport?"
"Huh?" he was weird out
"Answer me!" I raised my tone. Ugh I'm going hysterical. I don't have much time
now. Do I?
"P-probably around 50 minutes or so. It's pretty far"
"Thanks"
Then I gave the driver my pay and open the door and run away
This is the only thing left for me to do
I guess I have to leg it all the way to the airport!
I've reached almost half of the distance.
I'm tired. Why won't I be?
It's just that I have been running for like 30 minutes or so.
Damn! That driver said that it'd only take 5o minutes but I think I can barely make
it.
I was already panting hard.
I made a quick stop and bought an energy drink
"I can't give up now" I said as I slap my cheeks
I drank the energy drink as I run. After drinking, I wipe my mouth using my hand
and I held the bottle as I run.
I was running with all my might.
The bottle was almost empty when I reached the airport
I was so sweaty. I checked the watch at the middle of the airport.
As I saw the time my knees wobble causing me to fall on my knees.
I DIDN'T make it in time
It was already 10:15 o'clock.
15 minutes late.
Now, I'm sure to be filled with regrets.
I should've went here the second that Chad told me to do so
I shouldn't have asked if I can really do it
I should've trust myself a little more
I should've...
As I was crying...
As I think of things I regret...
There was someone who stood in front of me
"Miss, are you okay?"
I looked up and the second that I recognized the face I looked down
I-i-i-it was J-j-j-jake!!!
Why the hell is he here?!!
My regrets a while ago...
They all just went away and that question filled my head
Why?
Then suddenly my phone rang
I searched my phone in my pocket
There was a new message from Chad
From: Chad
Subject: Sorry
Aria gave the wrong info! It�s 11:00 o'clock not 10 o'clock (^v^)
My eyes widen in disbelief
This is too good to be true...
"You should've told me a lot sooner" I sighed at myself
"Umm, miss?"
"Geez, it's not miss. It's Jane! Can't you even recognize me? Sigh, what a hopeless
guy" I said as I stand up
He stared at me in disbelief
"Hi" I added
"Why?Why are you here? How come?"
"Are you unhappy of my well-being?"
"Not that. I thought I hid it from you"
"Yep, you did and good job at keeping your flight as a secret but Aria told Chad
and Chad told it to me. So the
secret's out"
"Why? And this was to punish myself..."
"Punish?"
"I've hurt you and distancing myself was my punishment from doing so 'cause if---"
Before he could continue I slapped him on the face
"Idiot! Do you plan to punish me as well? 'Cause distancing yourself from me hurts
me a lot"
He was speechless and the only thing he can do was look at the ground with regrets
"Do you know why I came here?"
Then he raised his head and looked at me
"Probably not. I came here 'cause I want to believe in my feelings for you. I won't
deny that I thought of giving up on
you but here I am looking like an idiot. Helplessly hoping for you to notice and
accept my feelings" I confessed
Then he looked down again
"I'm afraid I CAN'T accept your feelings..."
Those words hit me causing me to breakdown.
Geez, what a crybaby I am. Really.
"Not now..."
Huh? I looked at him and saw him also looking at me.
He smiled at me and wipe my tears using his thumb
"I still regret hurting you that's why I'm going to distance myself from you. I
also want to know how much I love you.
Wait for me? Please? So that when I come back I'll be a better man worthy of you So
that, in the future, we won't
have regrets for choosing each other. So, please, can you wait for me?"
Tears flowed uncontrollably...
"Yes" was the only thing I could say
He kissed me on the forehead before he left.
Yes, it was already, more or less, 11 o'clock or in short, it was time to go.
I went outside and watched the plane he was riding flew away
I waved my hand good bye even though it was useless.
I know it's not yet good bye. Maybe a new beginning?
I don't know but this isn't the end yet, I just know.
5 years passed~
I'm currently attending college.
Today is a holiday.
I went to a park.
It was still 5:30 in the morning.
It was dawn.
It was nice to watch the sun as it went up to the sky and start to fill the place
with light.
Then I lay down on the grass and stared at the sky
It's been 5 years since I started waiting...
It's not like my hope is wavering...
It's just that, I miss him so much.
I want to see him badly...
Tears escaped my eyes. Weird.
My hands won't move to wipe it so tears just flowed
Then suddenly someone blocked my view of the sky and wiped my tears because of the
light it made me impossible
to look at his face so I sit up and faced who it was.
I gasp at who it was and tears went flowing again.
He went near me and he whispered
"I'm back"
I return back his hug and said
"Welcome back"
Then he smiled at me and kissed me on the lips but I break it and said
"How did you find me here?"
"Fate brought me here" he winked
"No, really?" I insisted
"It's true. I went back here yesterday night. I just woke up a while ago and
decided to take a walk for a while and think
of a surprise for you but I was the one surprised. I saw you here. I was
unprepared. I thought I'd just tease you that I
saw you here but I saw you cry . I was sad when I saw you cry so without thinking I
went to you and wiped your tears.
Like I said, I was unprepared so the only thing I can do is say... I love you"
I hug him and said
"That is more than enough"
I said as I smile again and we kissed again.
I told my friends that Jake is back and somehow we all decided to have our reunion
at a karaoke that is open 24/7.
It's amazing that they were awake when I send the message.
Marie and Joyce were drunk and they keep on mumbling how jealous they were for not
having a boyfriend right now
^____________^V
Years passed~
We graduated last month and it seems like Jake already graduated...
Maybe he skipped a year or maybe it was a 2 years course?
Well, it remains as a mystery...
Well, putting that aside, Myka and I just thought of a crazy idea.
A DOUBLE WEDDING!!!
Yeah, it sounds crazy but Myka said that things like weddings...
You know... Those special moments...
She said that it's better to have it on the same day, both of us
'Cause she said that it's be a lot more special since it will also become the day
of her wedding as well as her best
friend�s wedding which is me... Something like that...
The two guys? Well they can't resist their beautiful soon-to-be-wife can't they?
So yeah, they agreed to it, it's not like they have much of a choice
That's why today, July 9,XXXX on the same church, in front of the same altar the
four of us made our wedding vows.
Jake's dad was able to accept me and even went to the wedding and even
congratulated me.
I heard that Jake pleaded for his approval.
Even Aria went to the wedding.
It seems like she got herself a new man.
Dunno why but she disappeared after the high school graduation ._.
Who cares about that?
Right now all that matters is that I feel so blessed right now.
I mean, who wouldn't be?
I have the one I love as my husband.
I have his parents approval.
Oh yeah, his mom was okay with it from the start. She said it's okay as long as he
loves the girl. She's also here at
the wedding.
But most of all I'm celebrating this special moment with the one I cherish the most
though some of them I don't know.
Maybe from Jake's dad's company? Dunno ._.
I'm so happy right now, I think I can just forget my bitter past but even though I
can, I won't 'cause in there, there's still
happy moments in it that's why I don't want to forget.
I don't want to forget instead I want to cherish it.
I mean because I had a past that's why I have the present and because I have the
present that's why I have a
future.
That's why no matter what I'll cherish it.
And hey! I know I never had the best past but I'll make sure to live to the fullest
at the present and build a happy
future for our future children or even grandchildren!
"Hey Jane! Stop daydreaming! It's time to take the wedding photo" Jake called out
"Wait for me!" I yelled as I smile
"OK! 1,2,3 ... Cheese!"
After 8 years~
"Mom! Look mom! It's a salad! Dad and I did it! Taste it!" James shouted cheerfully
James is our son.
"I bet it's the best! For the great me made it!" Jake gloated
"Don't go stealing the spotlight dad! I also help!"
"But the only thing you did was pass the ingredients"
"At least I put effort!"
These two... *chuckles* Jake is acting like a child
"Stop it you two. Fine. I'll taste it" I chuckled
"Why are you chuckling?" Jake asked
"Secret!" I teased
"That's not good mom! No secrets allowed in a family!"
"Who made such a policy?" I asked
"Me!" James shouted cheerfully
"Oh? Then who is your crush?" Jake teased as he smirk
"Dad, that's---- That's an exception!" James blushed out of embarrassment
Then we all laugh
"Seriously, I thought no secrets allowed" I chuckled
I'm so happy to live in such a happy life.
###Life may come with bitter challenges but after those you would always be
welcomed by sweet kisses ang
hugs###
THE END!
