Chapter 22.9: Love and Predicament
AUGUST
Coming out to Mary was definitely or more so, undoubtedly the best thing that happened to this miserable day. It was never the kind of coming out that I was expecting, however, I was more than glad and somehow relieved that I managed to let everything out with such ease. I was nervous for the most part; the nerves were tingling my spine but that’s only because I’m having a nostalgic moment. When I first came out back when I was still in Highmont, I was trembling as hell. The nervousness that I felt earlier was just like small ant bites compared to the extremities that I felt the first time.
Mary was definitely the right to person for me to come out to and she took it very nicely so much to my expectation. And it’s not because of the fact that she came out to me too, but it was just her good heart. She might be snarky sometimes, a bit sarcastic too but she really has a good heart. I felt

AUGUSTI spent my free time today with Mary, Rock and Gustav and I’m starting to grasp this thought that I may be spending my free time with them for the rest of the week. And if things aren’t quickly combed between me and Rachel, it might extend for who knows how long. It doesn’t matter to me anyway, whether this thing ends up stretching to a month. I’m totally fine with Rachel ignoring me for the whole damn week if that’s how she wants things to be. Of course Nicole and Victoria would always support her and just like what I’m thinking, they are ready to flash their sharpened fangs and claws in order to protect their bff.The bottom line is that I don’t really have some plan on straightening my situation with Rachel. Even though she thinks this whole damn situation was all my fault, but in my eyes, I perfectly know that this was Rachel’s fault. I know my shortcomings that I sh

AMBROSEWhat do I need to know? That was the question that conquered my head and apparently, it burned like hell throughout the rest of the night.What truth could that be? I don’t even have any clue about what my mom’s talking about and it’s bugging more than I ever thought. I’m so confident about my spot and I thought my mom was in it for the biggest surprise of her entire miserable life and that she’d cry over it like how she always does. However, after what I’ve heard downstairs, there’s an unforeseen plot twist and I think I’m the one who’s up for a big surprise. That was something that I did not see coming. I was just feeling like a powerful person at the dinner table earlier knowing that my dad would finally tell my mom that he’s divorcing her and that I’d be free of her. The joy inside of me was relentless up until the moment that my pare

AMBROSEMy life just flipped big time right at the moment that I wasn’t expecting it. I thought this type of bullshit only happens in movies and in dramas but it turns out that it’s not that far from reality. The truth that I’ve just learned just clung onto me like a leech and it’s taking a while for me to shake it off. Well, it’s only been a few minutes since I learned it but it’s looking more like a long term thing.I stayed on the floor while hugging my knees as the scorching tears resumed to cascade down on my cheeks. I tweaked my hair in hopes of lessening the pain but it’s not effective as I thought it would be. I cried for a short while and then I just thought that I have to stop this display of utter weakness. Crying on my knees isn’t the Ambrose that I came to know and I just had to force myself to stop sobbing and be the big tough boy that everybody knows. Big boys do

AMBROSEIn my head, I was already trying to picture some things between me and August. I imagine myself still being out of words as always. I imagine him stepping onto his role of the interviewer and just be the one who keeps on making the conversation going. I imagine myself having to keep my cool with all of the kaleidoscope of butterflies fluttering back in forth in the pits of my stomach. I feel like August’s the only person that I have right now and yet I don’t have him by my side. The blame’s all on me being the asshole who doesn’t want to let him clarify and tell his side of the story. I was just thinking what’s going to happen if I actually see him today. What would I tell him? What would he tell me? Am I going to apologize for ignoring him? Or will he apologize for betraying me?The words that I typed seemed convincing. Moreover, I knew that August wants to talk to me so bad.&nb

AMBROSEIt felt real. Somehow. The world seemed to spin in a very slow and fuzzy moment as my physical body hit down the cliff. My body crashed down over the sharp rock formation inevitably breaking every single bone in my body. I can feel the surging agony, the physical agony to say the least. It was incomparable to the emotional pain but it was agonizing nonetheless. Blood rushed from the open wounds, in every part that hit a sharpened rock, and then I felt my head smashed on one of the hard surface shutting my brains down. And then I was gone. At least that’s how I imagined it.There was a rush blow of wind, almost intense that it brought me back towards the harsh reality. I opened my eyes and eventually realized that I was just imagining all of the things.Was that really how I want things to end? I asked myself in an attempt to find a sliver of hope to even continue walking this horrible earth

AMBROSE I really thought I would feel much lesser pain if I confront my dad about me being adopted. I really thought looking at him straight in the eye would at least lessen the agony and that I would take the truth in utter silence and complete acceptance. I was dead ass wrong in all levels. Eavesdropping and learning about it in secret was already agonizing but I never would’ve thought it would hurt like hell to hear it come out straight from my dad’s mouth. What more if my mom’s there. I’m she would roast me to ashes with her ruthless mouth and that would definitely hurt more than I know. I’m sure my dad tried to beat around the bush and perhaps lie about it but I was quick to shut him down. He doesn’t have much of a choice but to let the cat out of the bag. My chest and my heart seemed like an idle dart board and once I heard everything come out of my dad’s lips, the words appeared like sharpened darts pins. This was

AMBROSE I woke up the very next morning feeling rather exhausted both mentally and emotionally. This wasn’t because today’s Monday and everyone knows how much people hate Mondays but this was all because of the mental and emotional hangover that I’ve got from the weekend. I felt like I don’t want to get up from this bed. I felt like I just want to lay on bed all day. A lot of things have happened in the short period of time that I just need more time to adjust from everything. The repercussions are hitting harder than ever. I stared above the ceiling and then into the window that I’ve just shattered with my fist last night. I slowly propelled myself up and sat at the edge of the bed still yawning widely like I’ve lacked some sleep. The chilly morning breeze coming in from the broken part of the window sent me some unwanted chills. It was just a brush of breeze but it was nippy that I had to carefully walk
Dancing in his Storm Chapter 23.7: The Storm
AMBROSE I tightened my grasp on the hand grip and stepped on the pedal as hard as I possibly could. The brush of the chilly morning breeze went from being gentle to a really strong gust. I’m not running late but I was speeding as if I was trying to catch something on the run. The noise that the engine made was rudely thunderous that you can hear it from a mile away. I was not thinking about the houses lined along the way that I might disturb but I’m just driving like fast and quiet seriously, furious. Perhaps I’m trying to release something inside of me by stepping on the gas as if I’m a contender at a random racing competition. Perhaps the emotion bottled up inside of me was so overwhelming that I have to release some in order to make space for a new one. I wasn’t expecting to have that conversation with my dad and for a moment, I was just keeping all of the emotions inside of me. The longer I know that I
