Izzy's PoVIt's not her body that is injured, It's her soul. Gracelyn is silently looking at the window again. She never uttered a single word since she woke up. I voluntered to take care of her so that her parents can work and they'll have some money to pay her hospital bills."Gracelyn?"She glanced at me."Let's eat the food is ready"."I'm not hungry".She said. It's what she always she. She's so thin now. I can't even recognize her. Her hair is a mess, her skin is so pale and her eyes are deep and dull.I exhaled a sigh of sadness." Just come to the kitchen whenever you're hungry".She didn't reply. She just resume in looking at the window like there is something attractive there that she don't want to take her eyes off it.It's already been a week but nothing changed. Her injuries in her body and head are healing but her heart doesn't."How is she?"."Nothing new mom.""Why don't we bring her to the beach ? Maybe the sea breeze we'll make a difference?"I nodded in excitement.
Gracelyn's povFinally ! Graduation. I couldn't believe I did it. Even though the the colorful awards are taken away from me due to my absences I'm still glad that I am able to graduate this year. I have mom with me. She holds my hands while we stand there and wait for our turn to sit on those elegant looking chairs. The chairs for the gradutes and parents. It feels surreal."Gracelyn Filore, Bachelor of science in Nursing".The master of the ceremony announced.I went on the stage. The higher proffessor moved my cap's ribbon from left to right after handing me my certificate. It symbolizes that I'm officially a nursing graduate of this university.I searched for mom and showed her my certificate. I smiled at her. I can see her crying from here. She immediately wiped her tears and wave at me.This will be a new beginning of a new life for me.I stared at the guest speaker in front. Imagining that someday I'll come back here successful and will also deliver an inspirational message to
Greg's PoVLexa and I are here on the cliff where Gracelyn attempted to jump." At the very edge of this cliff, Gracelyn attempted to jump because she found out that I courted her because of a bet".I blurted out and sigh. Lexa didn't utter a word. She just stared at the sky like she didn't hear anything but I know she does."Because of my pride I foolishly accepted the bet. We broke up that time you know and I thought it will be a fun past time while waiting for you to come back to me. I didn't know that the girl whom we had a bet on was so innocent, loving and kind. I was planning on making her fall in love with me but she was the one who made me deeply fall in love with her. I didn't plan it but it happened. The time came that I couldn't let go of her anymore so I went back to you so that I can forget her because I couldn't accept that fact that I fall in love with an ordinary girl like her. I'm in denial and I didn't know because of that I am also hurting you".I wiped the tears
Gracelyn's POvIt is not been long since we started our review but I already feel exhausted. I feel drowsy in class."Maybe you need an inspiration"Melo winked at me. I am talking to him through video call. He already went back to America. He continued his studies their and will graduate next year if he will do good in his studies. His aunt always complain about him skipping class most of the time." I do need an inspiration but not you. I want more handsome than you, more appealing and richer than you. I need a lot and tons of money you know".He frown."I didn't know you're materialistic?"I laughed at his comment."Well , now you know."He laughed at me."You better hung up. I need to review and you're a nuisance".I joked. "I am just inspiring you ".He said and laughed. He ended the call after virtually kissing me. Eww!.That brat!I rummage through my staffs and began organizing them according to their categories. This will gonna be a long long night for me. I need to really co
Gracelyn's PovWhy? What made them decide to just separate rather than resolve whatever issue they're facing right now?I immediately packed and went to the bus station after writing a note for Izzy. I don't want to wake her up in this unholy hour.I've been thinking of a possible reason why they wanted an annulment but I couldn't think of one. They have always been so sweet and happy in front of us. How naive I am that I didn't even notice that their relationship already has a gap. They're love story has always been one of my favorite. It is what keeps me believing that love is still beautiful and it gives happiness despite what I have exlerienced with Greg but now I think all the things I believe in was all a lie."Where's mom and dad?"I immediately asked my sister as soon as she open the door."Mom is inside their bedroom. She locked herself for days. She hadn't eaten any".I went to mom and Dad's bedroom and saw the untouched food behind the door.I knocked "Mom, It's me Gracelyn
Gracelyn's POv"Grace, you need to eat. Please don't toture yourself".I didn't answer. Izzy keep on knocking butI didn't move an inch from where I am."Gracelyn. Open this door. Talk to us. We will sort this out together".It's Shirly. I hugged my knees and close my eyes. I just want to be in a deep slumber. I am already tired of dealing with this kind of bullsh*t.I didn't know that I fall asleep hugging my knees. I looked at the window. It is already dark. The moon's brightness shines on my room. I stand up and walk to my bed. I was about to lie down when I felt something moved. My chest is pounding loudly. I went to switched on the lights and was surprised to see Izzy and Shirly sleeping on my bed.What are these two doing here ? I locked my room , how did they enter?"Turn off the light it is so bright".Izzy complained while blinking her eyes.Shirly moved but snored again."What are you guys doing here?" I said. My arms are crossed over my chest."We came to comfort you but the
Izzy's POvIt is almost two years already but Gracelyn has been keeping her silence since she came back from visiting her family. I knew something huge happened by her looks when she came home here that morning. I don't know what that is because and I didn't asked and she isn't ready yet to open up but I can feel her pain. I've only seen her acted like this when Greg hurt her. She didn't want to go out. She just stayed here and lock herself in her room. I am already worrying about her physical and mental state. She didn't even take her licensure exam. She totally give up on herself, on everything."She didn't tell you yet?"It's Shirly. She already went back to Boracay because her father already entrusted her the hotel. She is now managing it. "No. She doesn't even talk to me now. She just glance at me when we meet along the corner of the apartment. It feels like I'm just living alone in thia apartment."I frown."Why don't you approach her and talk to her ?"" Do you think I didn't
Gracelyn's POVAfter seeing Shirly bursting out like that I feel like something inside me woke up. Like I have been sleeping for a long time and I have just woken up.I called out to her and follow her. I couldn't bare to see them cry because of me. They have always been my confidante. I noticed that Izzy is following me so I just continued walking towards Shirly but something caught my eyes or rather someone. My dad is on the beach sitting and holding another woman's hand. He should only be holding my mom's hand. How dare him! and how dare that woman !.I wiped my tears and run away from them. I am afraid that if I stay longer than ine minute. I couldn't stop myself and charge towards them. I don't want to make a scene here. I want to go miles away from them but this is as far as I can go. I am sitting inside a nipa hut. It is small and deteriorating but it can still give shade against the sun.I sit and hug my knees."There you are ."I look around and saw Izzy and Shirly catchin
