Twenty-one: Brother
Jac Taylor’s point of view    I smiled when I saw that message from Avery. She’s back to being tender, even though we fought a few times about the project she was doing with Cormac.    That guy. . . how long will he harass my sister?    It’s been two hours since I received the message but only now that I can reply to it. I’ve been very busy at my office and I missed the cellphone at home. I got home by lunch for Jacques and will just continue working at home as usual.    Jacques studies in the morning, so that’s the time I chose for work. That way I can pick him and go home at the same time.    This child. . . he’s my everything. Even though there are things I didn’t get and overcome before, I’m glad I have Jacques. I am no longer looking for anything else and I am grateful for what I have now.    “Dad, where’s Tita Ry?” I

Twenty-two: Jac meets Mac
Jac Taylor’s point of view    “Good day! This is C.C Cars— ”    “Connect this call to Cormac Carter now.” I said sharply to the woman who answered the call. She was obviously suppressed, but I ignored it. I am determined by what I do. If I can’t reach Avery, I’ll direct what to say to him.    It’s been an hour since I left my parents ’house. In a matter of minutes, I will reach Avery’s place.    I just wish I wasn’t too late. I don’t know why until now. Avery’s phone still couldn’t be contacted. If before it was just continuous ringing, now it is actually closed.    “He’s not here—”    “Just connect this fucking call to his mobile. I’m Avery’s sister, and she’s with him. I have to go to them! ”    I don’t even know what

Twenty-three: Diary
Back to Avery Taylor’s point of view    “You don’t need to worry about the place. I know the owner. Our room is next to each other and I’ll give you my keycard in case something happened— ”    “Come on, come on.” I confronted the man. He just kept walking until we got to the H&H Hotel. He seems to be organized about his plan while I have to find the reason we are here in the very place where I grew up.    I trust this jerk. Even though he is a stone man, I have already proven that he will not betray me, push me to do bad things. He’s good, but sometimes I just want to crush his face.    “Can you please explain to me first what is happening and what we are doing here? I work for a company. I need to report all my actions to them and I also have a family that worries about me. ” I continued. It was even a bit amplified, so I got the attention of the few

Twenty-four: Fifteen years ago
January 2, 2005Third person’s point of viewTwelve-year-old Avery smirked when she finally made it out of the classroom. Going home as usual, she will go straight to Macmac’s classroom.They have been like this for almost a year now—she who always tails the man and Macmac who always stumbles over that thing has always been their situation.Avery doesn’t seem to mind it. For her, that is more challenging. For the rest of her life, she would laugh at the man’s nervousness every time he saw her approaching.“What is a grade seven student doing here?” said Jac, when he saw his sister who was constantly wandering on the floor of grade ten students like him.He already knew his sister’s intentions. He quickly turned to Cormac, who was still busy copying what was written on the board there. Their teacher did not attend the last subject, but still left a lot of work to do.

Twenty-five: Memories came
Avery Taylor’s point of viewThe next time I opened my eyes, I felt my surroundings completely changed.I can see the same faces but it’s different to feel that their smiles will be reflected on their faces again.Maybe they just don’t have everything, but they differ from me. I could feel my life. . . breaking into pieces — again and again. That life that I was forced to build and fix after that accident, fifteen years ago, I felt that I have to fix it again now.Is that all I need to pick up my fragmented self-identity?I already remember everything. . . Finally, I got what I used to pray to the Lord. If it had been a little earlier, maybe now. I was jumping for joy, but it really felt different.I became scared to know the truth and I can’t afford to be happy now.Cormac. . .I knew there was something in him. So maybe that’s just how I struggle to get to know it and

Twenty-six: Love leaves
“Dissociative amnesia. . . ” My left hand landed on my mouth when I heard the doctor say that. I stayed in the hospital for three days. Then, because of my perseverance, my mom agreed to continue the observation and treatment at home.After that night, I never saw Cormac again. I still haven’t received a call from Ma’am Cassandra.But that won’t be the end of me. I know I still have a lot to do, so I prefer to keep going.After three days, I was exposed to the world again. I went to my friend Yohan to tell the truth. He’s the only doctor I can trust. I told him about it on the call earlier, before I went to his condo.“Are you saying your memory has returned?”I rudely dropped my hands on its table, causing the man to roll his eyes, seeing how bad my temper is. “Just go directly to the point. If I have to undergo tests, that’s fine. I just want to be sure, Yohan. I w

Twenty-seven: She loves him
 Cormac and I may have been different when we had been alive for fifteen years. He has gone through so many complex things that no one else can match — I’m glad I could see him and be with him now.From the first time we met. . . that first phone call. That was the first time we met because of different decisions. . . it all made sense now. The passcode in his laptop, it wasn’t his birthday and especially we didn’t have the same birthday because it was only mine.I know in fifteen years; he has never forgotten me. I knew after times past I remained in his mind.I gasped when I arrived at the airport. People come and go so I don’t know where to turn to look for him.I don’t want him to leave. . . not because I wanted to stop him, but because I was afraid it would take a long time before I could see him again.“Excuse me,” I smiled as I approached a woman in her mid-3

Twenty-eight: Murderer
Warning: This chapter may contain sensitive and sexual scenes that are not suitable for a younger audience.***I no longer followed what happened next. Yes, we got into Cormac’s car. On where we will go and what probably do, I know nothing about it.My hands were still shaking with the extreme anticipation I’m feeling. I was carried away by the situation. I feel like I haven’t seen Cormac in so long; I felt all those positive emotions with him — plus the desire.For the next few seconds, there was only one thing on my mind. Even if I tried to deny it to my brain, I wanted him to claim me. . . over and over, until I felt he had tied me to him.I know, maybe I’ll be ashamed of what I am doing right now afterwards, but I know in myself I won’t regret it.I heard a loud crash as we entered a very large penthouse. It was getting dark, but my eyes seemed to see the whole thing then.

Twenty-nine: Plan
For a few seconds, it seemed as if an angel had passed in front of Cormac. The man did not speak immediately, nor did I.    He galloped to the massive walk-in closet right inside that room and came back with a large shirt. “Wait. . . wait, Av. ”    My heart quickly softened as he moved there. I calmed down for a while. In an instant, it was as if I had forgotten my fear.     He slowly put his own clothes on me, kissed me quickly on the forehead, then went back in front of me.    “Are you really sure about this, Av?”    I nodded quickly at his question. I understand how he feels right now. I am sure; I would mention nothing that would be just the root of a man’s hope.    I took his hand, then caressed it. “You don’t need to worry now. We will not stop until we bring justice to the death of your parents. ”* * * * *

Thirty: Reunion
Life can be cruel to us every time. Sometimes we think nothing good is going to happen—that’s where we go wrong.    That we are waking up each day, that we are surviving, we can be the happiest person in the world.    Waking up is a chance, to make a difference, to do what we want to do. . . to love ourselves and to be true.    The first day I opened my eyes with no memories at all, I felt like my life had stopped as well. It was as if I was dead, but I can still feel the pain in my heart.    The first day, I couldn’t answer questions about myself. It was like I was being gradually killed.    The moment they ask me about my name and I can’t answer. When I woke up, I could no longer remember the people who had been waiting for me to wake up.    It was beyond the pain and frustration.    One day became a month. . . years.    One year t
