Twenty two: News
I heard the faint sound of a masculine voice. Not only was I hearing a voice, I was also feeling something poke my skin. It seemed like I was being injected.
The pain on my arm made me scrunch my nose. My head felt heavy, and I kind of felt weak. What was really going on? I knew I was still sick from staying in the rain that night at Roy's Beach House, but I didn't expect that little sickness to affect this much.
I raised my hand to my forehead, moved my head slowly, and tried to open my eyes. The bright white light on the ceiling was what covered my sight. This place looked familiar. It looked like—
Ah, jeez, I was on mom's bed. It seemed like I had fainted. Woah, what?! I hated things like this.
I blinked slowly, tried to contain the weakness I felt. "Wh-What's going on?" I managed to speak.
Being quite conscious, I noticed mom standing beside the bed, a

Chasing Her Twenty three: Awkward moment
This apple juice irritated me so much. Not only the juice, the sandwich as well was quite irritating. For some reason, I was losing appetite for the food I always enjoyed eating. Oh, obviously, the reason was because of this pregnancy. How much more inconvenience was this unborn child going to cause?First, I had had to extend my sleeping time, although I clearly didn't need any sleep in order to read for my exams. Second, everyone was complaining about my looks. They claimed I looked drowsy. Third, I had to ensure I never missed the time to take my medicines. To wrap it all, this pregnancy had changed my life so much! Really tiresome.And, to aggravate this issue, there was no one to comfort me when I felt worn out. In order to not get unnecessary attention, I didn't tell my friends about it. Well, mom was the only one helping me out, but she didn't stay closeby. So, indirectly, I was fighting this battle alone.
Chasing Her Twenty four: A thing.
The moment a tear was about to escape my eye, I averted from our gaze. I knew he didn't deserve my tears, but I just couldn't stop crying whenever I thought of him. He was a pain to my heart.Bella stared at me. I could tell she was worried, so I decided to smile to make her think I was fine. She returned my smile, nodded, gesturing I had to keep calm."You don't wanna see my beautiful girl?" Jason said, speaking to Roy who was still standing behind me.Roy turned around the bed, stood beside Jason, sat on a stool there. Jason took the baby from Bella, so he would show Roy. As Roy smiled at the baby, I swallowed. Why did I have a feeling he would get to know about my pregnancy?"She's so cute," he remarked. "I hope to have a baby like her someday."When his eyes met mine, I looked away. All I could think of was, so he wanted a baby someday? Or, was he saying thi
Chasing Her Twenty five: Dear heart
Quivering, I turned my neck to spot who had hit Tyler. Ah, shit, it was Roy. How in the world did he get here? In the first place, what was he doing here? Had he followed me all the way to my dorm?I wiped my tears, put my eyes down. This was more like an assault. Tyler had forced me to kiss him. What else could he have done if Roy hadn't come here on time? To aggravate this commotion, Tyler had kind of mentioned he was obsessed with me. He had also said he had liked me even before he had met me at the store that night.Was this the reason he had known my name even though I hadn't told him that night? Had he been stalking me even before that time? Gosh, what? Where did he know me from?I sobbed, feeling so bitter.Roy probably got too enraged, so he grabbed Tyler, threw a punch against Tyler's jaw. I hated violence, but yeah, an idiot who tried to force himself on a woman, deserved
Chasing Her Twenty six: First, Last.
"I can't believe my baby will finally be graduating!" Mom's squeal made me giggle. Sometimes, she acted like a teenager."I'm equally excited." I kept the last folded blanket into her wooden wardrobe, shut it, and joined her on the bed. "Also, I'll have enough time to take care of my pregnancy. Like damn, it's been so hard trying to pay attention to the poor thing in my belly. I really feel sad for it. It kind of didn't come at the right time."She smiled at me. "It came at the right time, honey.""Nah." I shook my head. "It didn't. I know it's a good thing, but let's be sincere. It didn't.""Silly you." She chuckled, poked my arm.I sighed. "I didn't know expecting a child could cost this much. And, you know I'm kind of working hard so we'll be able to pay our next month rent. The money I've spent on medicines isn't quite convenient for me.""Wel
Chasing Her Twenty seven: Second Time?
The only thing that sounded in this store was the sizzling sound of the old air conditioner. Everything else was boring. If Tyler hadn't shown his true colors, he would probably be the one to make this place cheerful. Also, my boss was a cheerful person, but she wasn't around tonight.Exhausted, I knocked my forehead against the counter, sighed. For goodness' sake, I didn't know why I still worked here. Well, I guessed it was because of the partial high pay. It didn't matter if it was boring. At least, it was only for a while.After a bit of hesitation, I took my phone from the pocket of my sweater. Yeah, my baggy sweater. Particularly, I was hesitant to take it, because my intention was to read Roy's text. I couldn't believe I was falling for his texts, but yes, his very frustrating-annoying-cute texts were slowly sinking into my senses. For a moment, I would think, “Is it really a big deal to give him a second chance?&rdq
Chasing Her Twenty eight: Seriously?
I widened my eyes, tense as well. "How did it happen?" I finally spoke, after a while of being silent.She kept weeping hard. "I don't even know. Her boss, and the police just arrived at my place. Can you please come over?""Sure, sure," I replied to her."I'm so worried," she added.I hung up the call, turned to Kath. "Kath, I've got to leave. Tell your dad something came up.""Is there a problem?" She asked.I nodded. "Yes, Renee's gone missing.""Oh, really?" I could tell she was faking some concern. Renee was the last person Kath would be worried about, so there was no doubt Kath didn't care so much about Renee being missing."I'll leave now. Tell your dad I wish him a happy birthday," I added before turning around to take my leave. Kath had attempted to speak further, but of co
Chasing Her Twenty nine: Obsessed
He took a step close, turned around to shut the door behind him. He didn't just shut it, he locked it. Ensuring it was completely locked, he focused back on me.I gulped. "Tyler? Y-You have…"I couldn't speak properly. It felt like a nightmare. He had said he liked me, but not for once had I thought he would go as far as kidnapping me. The night he had kissed me, I had seen desire running in his eyes, but I hadn't sensed an obsession.He put his hands into the pocket of his sweatpants, smirked even harder. "See, when I want something, I don't like being played around with.""You're insane?" I narrowed my eyes at him, overly shocked.He shrugged. "Let's not call it “insane”. I'll say I'm drunk with love. Love for you.""Hey!" I threw my hands up. Why did I have a feeling he was playing a prank on me? "Dude, are you nuts? Lo
Chasing Her Thirty: Apology
My head hurt a lot. It seemed as if there was a rock on it. Heavy rock. Slowly, I raised my hand to hold the pain on my head. I was tired and weak. What was going on?Opening my eyes, the ray of light that passed through the window made me squint. Moving my gaze to my body, I noticed a blanket was around me. And, woah, what?! I was in a sleep shirt. A different cloth. Who could have possibly changed my clothes?"What exactly is wrong with them?" Hearing that voice, I flinched, and sat up straight. Oh, shit, it was Roy. He was walking into the room with a doctor.Doctor? Why a doctor? I didn't need a doctor!Soon, they reached me. Roy was intense in speaking with the old man. He didn't even glimpse at me. Could he be angry because he had seen me with Tyler last night? Silly. How could he be angry because of that? And wait, why did I even care about him being angry? I was the one who
