May stopped in front of Kayla's apartment. She couldn't go home to see her parents because she did not have the confidence to face them now. Kayla wasn't around so she just got in and texted Kayla about her presence. She got to the counter and made herself a cup of coffee. She finally got a lighter to light her cigarette. She drank some coffee while smoking, thinking about Jared. No matter how she tried, she could not get him out of her head. It was getting close to evening, Kayla finally came home. At first she was scared because she thought a thief had entered her apartment. Then she realised she doesn't really have that much stuff that they can steal. “You're back.“ May said out of nowhere. Kayla jumped in fright, “What the hell May! What are you doing here?“ May is sitting on the couch, just staring at Kayla. She saw how Kayla kept carefully walking around the room because she was worried it could be a thief. “I sent you a text that I'd be here since the call wasn't going thr
The next day, Debra went into May's room in the morning since it's a Sunday. She opened the windows and began cleaning the room. Celine happened to pass by and met Debra cleaning the room. She stood by the door admiring Debra who is the perfect daughter. Dave happened to pass by at that moment too. They both stood at the door watching Debra, who is aware of their presence but pretends not to know. “If May was half the daughter Debra was, things wouldn't be this bad.“ Dave said, admiring Debra. “I know she's not the best but I have faith that she'll come around one day.“ Celine said, revoking her husband's words. Debra frowned hearing Celine defend May. She used to support everything Dave says, why is she now defending May? 'Is this because she's now with him and not me? Is she suddenly switching sides this fast?' She thought. “Debra darling, you should leave that since you still have a lot to do today…”Debra turned immediately, “What? A lot? … I mean good morning mom and dad. I
A FEW HOURS EARLIERMay woke up earlier because she wasn't able to sleep well. This is not her first time sleeping in her friend's place but she feels distant from her friend. She did not wake Kayla up. She went to the bathroom and saw the bleach on her hair is already wearing off. She decided to wash it off and get another one later. She then took her bath, while unable to get her head off Jared. She could not stop herself from thinking about him. 'Great. Now I can't stop thinking about him.' She mocked herself. She made herself some breakfast and left for her friend too. She did not want to wake Kayla up, she carefully left the house. She left Kayla a note so she wouldn't be worried when she woke up. She then took a cab going home. She wanted to pick more of her things and avoid her parents since it's early in the morning. The taxi soon stopped at in front of her house. She carefully walked inside the house, expecting to run into one of her family. Especially Debra. Not that she
The atmosphere became tensed as everyone stared at him, surprised at his sudden outburst. They all looked scared of him like he turned into a monster. Debra also looked scared, she moved back and tried to run away. Then he heard a familiar voice calling him. “Sir… Sir we are here.“ Matt called him. His eyes fluttered open, he realized he has been stuck in his dream since he left the house. He did not understand why he had to fall asleep on the way. The only thing he knows is that this happened because he is very tired. He was unable to sleep all through the night just thinking about May, since he could not even go to her. “Wait… are we going to the sky lounge? I mean the highest place in the building?“ Jared asked sitting up. Matt nodded, “I haven't informed you but it seems you already know it sir. That's where we are going.“ His eyes widened, why would what he saw in his dream be the same? It felt so real that he wanted to kill everyone for doing that to him. Now he gets to fin
The date ended well with them just bickering. Jared did not want to talk much, but Debra has a way of bringing out that side. The fact that he could only see May while he looked at Debra made it worse for him. He wanted the date to end as soon as possible. He had no choice than to drop her home too. The ride there was way too silent. Debra tried striking a conversation and Jared would just ignore it. Debra did not give up with all the signs Jared gave her to stop. "I'll see you in our next date. I think we still have a lot to talk about that we haven't done yet." Debra told him, as the car stopped in front of the house. "I won't say I am looking forward to it. You know I don't like lies." He replied bluntly. She shrugged, "No offense taken. Would you like to come inside and say hi to my parents?" "I wouldn't want that to happen. Considering the fact that I took their daughter away without their permission the other night. Plus, I have someone very important waiting for me. I must
Sirens wailed outside the hospital as Jared is rushed into the hospital. Somehow some reporters managed to get the news and are already there. May and Matt followed Jared into the hospital as he is injured on his arm. Jared didn't move, he just closed his eyes which gets May very worried. They are not allowed to go inside the theatre with the doctors. The previous event replayed in May's mind. She recalls how she rushed to Jared and screamed his name. His blood stained her hand and clothes even though they are black. "It's all my fault. This wouldn't have happened to him if he didn't meet me. What am I going to do? I don't want him to die." May cried, trembling in fear. This is the first time in her life that she is so scared of losing someone. She is so used to acting so tough and expecting the worse in any situation. She doesn't even think she would cry like this if it was someone other than her best friend. Matt has never seen May in this situation before. He remains calm even t
"You were awake the whole time?" May asked, pulling away from the hug. She stared into his eyes to be sure he is okay and not pretending. He nodded, giving her a smile though in pain. "I am fine. If I knew you'd be worried about me like this, I shouldn't have opened my eyes. You look so cute worrying about me. Who would have thought you'd be like this?" He teased her. She frowned, "It seems you are fine enough to annoy me. I should just leave and let your parents come look after you."She stood up to leave, he stopped her by grabbing her hand. "Don't leave. What if something bad happens to me after you leave?" He pleaded, giving her puppy eyes. It's the first time she is seeing this cute side of him. She wants to smile, but she controlled herself and kept a straight face. "Are you trying to threaten me with that? You should know I don't actually care if you got knocked down by a moving car." She lied, hitting his shoulder. "Ah!" He winced in pain, his eyes shut tightly. That
“That girl is seriously getting on my nerves!!“ Madam Diana yelled, pushing everything on the table away in anger. She left the hospital so angry that she couldn't even see her son thanks to May. The fact that May could threaten them so boldly and openly kind that angered her more. Since she has become the very powerful woman she is now, no one has dared looked down on her. Especially not someone who is not on the same level as her. "How dare she? She dared to talk about things like that in front of me?" Madam Diana fumed more. Her assistant also followed them to the hospital and waited at the reception. Her name is Leah and she is almost the same age with Matt. Unlike Matt who is calm whenever his boss gets angry, Leah is always uneasy. She could be the one to face the wrath if she makes a single mistake at that point. Sir Jason sat down and pressed the bell on the table before him. A maid ran out from nowhere like they've been stationed there. "Get me some whiskey." He told the
