CHAPTER 5.1His eyes looking sterner, “I will tell you whole honestly even though I don’t know if you will trust me but I only brought one woman in the beach house.” He pulled one finger as he looks at me eagerly with his green eyes. “Yes, we had sex. But that was weeks ago, I was new on the island and I joined the surfing contest where I met the woman. Her name is Cassandra. She was a surfer too. We had sex in the beach house but after that, I never brought anyone there.”I blink at him and he was explaining in detail and forcing me to believe him. A part of me tells me that he is believable but then I wonder why Georgina-Rose would tell me that and lie to me. I wonder what would be her motive when she told me about it earlier.“The thing that Cassandra and I had was mutual understanding. We both talked about doing it but that was once. Wait a minute, whoever told you that I bring girls over the beach house to fuck in the first place because it really makes me angry. That person tota

CHAPTER 6FIXZ I O NThe moment we arrived back in the beach house from Pacific Beach, Harry was silent. He went upstairs and stayed in his room the entire morning while all of us were resting downstairs.“Where’s the other guitar in here?” Neal asks.“Diana might have eaten it.” I joked.Diana rolled her eyes at me and I just adore how annoyed she gets every time I tease her. “You surely love to annoy the living hell out of me.” She says while walking to the kitchen.“Don’t forget the foods in the fridge are not yours!” I yelled out.Neal laughs his hysterical as he strums the guitar on the foot of the staircase.Around two in the afternoon, I had woken up from my sleep and I didn’t know I had fallen asleep on the couch and was tired since we slept late last night and we had to wake up early to leave the beach. Harry finally went out of his room and went out to surf hours ago while Neal is nowhere to be found in the living room. Georgina-Rose must be sleeping in her room too while D

CHAPTER 7ACTIONSA M E R I C A I keep pacing back and forth thinking if what I am going to do is fine.It’s just dinner.I got myself ready for my dinner with Zion which will be in thirty minutes.I don’t know why I allowed myself to have dinner with him but then I guess there’s nothing wrong going out with a guy on a friendly dinner. We’re just two friends going out to have something to eat. Damn, it has been making me anxious since a while ago because I have been in a relationship for four years so I was never used to having dinner alone with a man other than Charles. I usually go out in with my group of friends and coworkers but never alone with a man.I reminded myself that it was okay to have dinner with an opposite sex because I was single and I am not stepping onto some boundaries. Also, I don’t like Zion emotionally, but I guess I didn’t want to be alone while having dinner tonight. I didn’t really want to think that he asked me out for date because I didn’t want to be awkwa

CHAPTER 83000 FEET DEEPH A R R Y London, EnglandAugust 18, 2020I found myself standing in front of a building’s entrance.The building smelled like medicine and disinfectant and as I looked around, I found a few people in white coats and white uniforms, stethoscopes hanging around their necks and the room on my right had a signage that says Emergency Room. I realized that I was in a hospital. I approached the information desk where I see a few hospital employees in uniform were on stand-by while the others were busy taking calls. I walked closer to their table and realized that I was in St. Pierre’s Hospital in London, England as I see the logo in their uniform.My eyes were then captured when I saw William and Liv entering the elevator who were talking to each other. “Oliver? William? What are they doing here?” I say softly.My feet drags me towards the elevator, “Lads!! Lads wait!!” I yelled out as I chase them but the elevator had already closed right in front of my face.I si

CHAPTER 9HEAL AND BE AWAKENEDH A R R Y May the both of you heal from your pains and be awakened soon.I still can’t read through the lines because I didn’t understand what he meant when he told us to be awakened. Be awakened from what? From the reality? From our pain? From being a prisoner of our pasts? From a dream? It could be a metaphor or a hyperbole but what? It could mean something or a thousand things but I know there’s so much more than the superficial fact of those words but what is it?I have been thinking about it all night, repeating his words inside the back of my head again and again but ended up with one conclusion. Cortèz could possibly mean that we need to be awakened and face our problems instead of escaping and dodging from it. We should take the bullet and feel the pain so that we can move forward feeling healed without looking back and regretting things.I groan as I sit on this sand by myself while I push my hair back.I haven’t slept the entire night thinking
