CHAPTER 10.1I groan in frustration because it still did not make any sense. “It does not make sense but it makes me feel scared. There was that old man who told me about the same thing too. He wished me and Harry to heal and to be awakened soon, what does that mean?” I added, sounded desperate for an answer.There was silence between us.“Please, you have to tell me.” I begged.“You have to know that not all things are as what you see, America.” She begins to walk away from me, leaving me stunned by the fact that she knows my real name.If you will be awakened and be revived, you’ll only remember little things but not all of it and Harry will not remember you.“Hey.” I pulled my head up and found Harry sitting next to me and realized that I have been thinking about what Faith told me earlier. I didn’t tell Harry about it yet because I didn’t know how to explain.“Are you alright?” He asks me.I nod, “Yeah. I’m… I’m fine.” I smiled at him.We were in this small bar having a few drinks
CHAPTER 11SOULS“I know you're thinking deeply about something.”I look up and found Harry, scooting closer next to me as he joins me over the sand while his Zion, Neal, Olivia and Diana were all having night swimming in their beach house. As for Georgina-Rose, she's nowhere to be found, again.“You have been like this before we left the bar. What's wrong?” He asks.I shake my head, “It's... It's nothing.”“Come on, I know it's not nothing.” Harry insists while nudging me gently with his elbows. “Tell me what's bugging you, I'll help as much as I can.”I breathe heavily, “I just don't know how to say it because.... it sounded pretty unusual and puzzling to me when I first heard it.”“What is it about?”“Earlier, I headed out for a walk after you left my hotel in the morning. I went somewhere alone and ate ice cream in this stall. Then there's this woman named Faith who sat next to me and ordered for ice cream too.”“And?”I bite my lower lip as I try to organize my thoughts, “She...
CHAPTER 11.1I gaped and smacked him on his arm which makes him laugh as I die in embarrassment. “What? I kept telling you last night to put back your bra but you threw it to the toilet bowl.”“No I fucking did not!”“Yes you fucking did, sweet cheeks.”I groan, “Oh geez. I was horrible last night.”“Pretty much, yeah.” He answers. “You're very much confident in stripping when you're drunk so it's pretty much not convenient for you to get drunk alone.”His words reminded me of Georgina-Rose and how she stripped naked in front of him.“It was somewhat enjoyable for me but of course I had to cover you up because I didn't want you to think I am a pig.” he tells me.“Well you were, last night.”“I was cleaning you up.” He responded.I groan inwardly and heavily.“You begged me that you wanted to wear my shirt even if I hand you new ones.” He adds.I sat here in silent and feeling my cheeks getting a little warmer with these things that he is telling me.“Also…” He chimes and I squirm inwa
CHAPTER 11.2H A R R Y“Merry are you fine?” I ask her as she looks terribly drunk.She says something which I didn't understand as she walks groggily along the living room. She trips on her own foot and I was quick to catch her. She laughs and slaps my cheeks repetitively while she was still laughing and I wonder what the hell she was laughing at. “You are the one who is super-duper quadruple drunk because your face is..... spinning.” She tells me.I couldn't help but laugh, “I think you are drunker than me sweet cheeks.”She pulled both of her hands up and started pinching my cheeks. “Sweet cheeks.” She giggles.I smile at her, “Okay, enough having fun with my cheeks and let's get you to bed.”I carried her over my arms as I walk up the staircase while the others were still laughing and getting drunker on the shore. I walked to my bedroom and was about to lay her over my mattress until she decides to belch out all the contents inside her stomach and puked all over her romper.“Jesus
CHAPTER 12TWO TRUTHS ONE LIEA M E R I C A I found myself accompanying Harry in The Surf Spot as I watch him do his little thing over those waves and riding them professionally. I sat by the shore with Zion, Neal and Diana while Olivia and Georgina-Rose were walking around buying some drinks. I rested my back on the coconut as I tried to draw everything that was before me while Diana keeps bickering off with Zion while Neal keeps playing his guitar and singing songs.I stare intensely at Harry and tried to get the perfect of him surfing out there. It was difficult because he is moving up and down and kept swimming around, arm paddling and all. I was getting lost in my own world of drawing and wanted to really capture the moment that Harry is up there over the wave.“That looks amazing.” I flinched when I see Diana leaning over to check my sketch. I had no time to cover it as she scoots close to me now. “Oh my God, you’re remarkably talented.”I smiled shyly. “Thanks.” I look over to
CHAPTER 12.1Despite the consequence, Neal was nice enough for me and Olivia who are not much of a drinker to have a safe option, actually it goes for the rest of the circle. We can ask the person on our right to save us as long as we manage to do the consequence given to us by the other people in the circle.Safe Word: PenisWay to go Neal.Harry had to change seats with Olivia who was on my right so he can save my drinks later as soon as I won’t be able to take more shots. The sound of this game already makes me nervous and even though Harry was kind enough to take these shots for me, I don’t want him to get all drunk.“You have to say something about you man or else you’ll take all three shots.” Zion smiles cutely as he teases Harry.Harry groans inwardly, “Stop with the pressure. Alright I will participate.” He paused, trying to think what he can tell the circle.He pulled out one finger, “I’m a surfer.”Neal laughs, “That’s so plain obvious.”Harry shushed Neal before he pulled o
CHAPTER 12.2Olivia looked puzzled and her eyes seemed like she was embarrassed of something she has done but she looks confused. Diana and Zion kept telling Neal to shut up as the three of them bicker, Georgina-Rose remained silent with a very angry look on her face while Harry was staring back at me.“Ameri—”I cut him off as my body involuntarily pulls me up from my chair which made all of them turn towards me. “I… I need to go to the bathroom.” I tell them softly as I begin to walk away from the table.“America, will you be fine alone?” I hear Harry call out.“Yeah.” I replied without looking back as I feel this growing feeling of enviousness inside me. I keep hearing Neal’s words inside my head and the more it keeps playing in my head, the more I imagine Olivia and Harry making out and her giving him a lap dance. I shake my head sideways as I was struggling on walking on my own trying to reach back to the beach house.“You had to fucking ruin it Neal!” I hear Diana. “Olivia, let’
CHAPTER 13DREAMSH A R R Y The next morning.I was woken up when I felt someone moving and shifting too close to me. I opened my eyes and found America sleeping soundly on top of my bed lying down next to me. She was lying on her side while she was facing me and had a few tendrils of her hair covering her face. I securely pushed it off her cheeks, careful enough not to wake this beautiful sweet creature.I turn to my side to face her too as I stare at her pleasant face and I swear to God I would never want this moment to end with her. I wish I could do as much as I can with her while she is still here. I wish I can freeze time and just lie on this bed with her, like this. Not worrying about a thing and definitely not worrying about our hurtful pasts. Right now, I want to heal myself for her.I’d give up all the days I got left because without her, I don’t know if they’re even worth it anymore. I’d give it all for her if she’d only let me.We stayed like this for a while until she sl
