I just want to share here that writing the previous chapter (50) was a bit heavy for me as a pet lover myself. Like Camila and Trey, it was always hard for me seeing any kind of other being be put in a bad situation they don't deserve, so guys, I just want to say that let's choose to have a bigger heart always! Love love! :)
(Trey's POV)"No! Don't take her away from me! Camila, don’t go with him!"I was mad and crying and almost begging just for the man not to take the love of my life away from me!Camila was crying while looking at me and her face was so sad, eagerly wanting me to not give up on her and save her.But no matter how I was trying to save her, to get her away from the strong man who was stealing her, I couldn't move my feet. I couldn't run. It felt like there were waves of invisible walls preventing me from going any closer to where they were!"Trey, help me!""Camila! Camila, don't go with him!""Trey, I don't want to go with him but what can I do? He is pulling my hand! Trey!"I begged on the man who was so determined to take her away. He looked exactly like me. It was like I was looking at the mirror while looking at this man! "Noah, please! If you really love her, you're going to let her go and be happy with the man she truly loves now! And we both know it's no longer you but me! Camila
"No!!!" She screamed and covered herself when I was about to grab her to throw her again like a paper in the floor to make her see her doom.But I suddenly reverted to my sanity, and my full rage didn't win when I realized I couldn't really kill somebody who once was close to me.Lorelei was not only my friend, but also a close friend to my cousins. And I couldn't kill her. Somehow, even though she did me wrong, I still pitied her when I heard her screaming and crying storms for her life.I already said it. I wasn't as bad as others were seeing me. I still had conscience, heart, and pity. And I pitied Lorelei. I couldn't totally kill her though I wanted to because of what she did.When she heard the silence and I was calming myself kneeling in front of her, sighing deeply and heavily, she raised her head to look at me and she was shaking her head, still pleading with me to have her spared."I'm sorry, Trey. I only did it because I hoped and wished that we could still be back together
"How are you, Trey?"Unbelievable! I hadn't seen her in such a long time. And, as far as I could recall, that was the instant I warned her never to show me her face again. After that night, she decided not to run into me anymore, and she vanished like a bubble in the air."I'm fine. How are you, Lori? It's been so long," I said.I was no longer angry or anything. Besides, I wanted to free myself from any hatred because I wanted to do what I needed to do and to focus on my goal, to achieve my dreams and aspirations.She smiled in a friendly, peaceful way. "Yeah. I'm all fine, too."Looking at her after years of not seeing her, I could say that she changed a lot. Not only did she mature—her face, aura, expressions, eyes, and body. A baby bump was even visible in her floral maxi dress."Can we talk, Trey? I mean, if only it's okay with you…"I glanced at my wristwatch. I still had an hour left before the lecture in the review center where I enrolled myself would resume.I nodded. "Alrigh
"Are you okay? You seem not feeling well, Doc."I shook my head, gathering myself together. "I'm okay.""Are you sure?"I nodded."We can reschedule this community service on the other day, if you want—""No. People are expecting to see us today. Let's not postpone and ruin our schedule."Ben, one of my members in this team of community service, hesitated."I'm alright, Doc Ben, if that's what you're minding. Now, we can't just stay here and wait for the dawn. The people in the neighborhood are waiting for us."He nodded, finally convinced and agreeing. "Alright then. Let's go, Doc."Our men power and vet-health assistants followed us.We were directed to their small plaza. There were guidelines and announcements first that had been held between us, the community service providers, and the people in this place.There had been attendance checking for their proof of presence of coming to the plaza and then eventually, later on, those who had their names listed on the form started to get
(Camila's POV)I personally brought the donation of goods to the rescue center.The company's delivery truck where I purchased the sacks of cat and dog food delivered them to the rescue facility. They followed the car I was driving in order to find the location where they would drop them off.The sanctuary's men and helpers assisted in receiving the goods.I also monitored and double-checked the items if they were complete and of in good and high quality condition. And as of the moment, I didn't encounter any issue with my purchases."Camila…"I looked at the man and owner of the rescue center who just came to check in here, too.I smiled. "Trey, hi!""This is a big help and a very kind action of your compassionate heart. The angels will surely love them and they will be forever grateful," he sincerely thanked.I nodded. "Welcome. For the rescued ones here, as much as I can and I have the blessings to give, I'm very happy to share.""You're very kind and generous, Maam! Surely, your h
"Thanks, Trey, for driving me home and for everything. For your love, as well," I said when we stopped until in front of the gate of my house.We were still holding hands, and it was as if we both didn't want this night to end. We always wanted to stay this way forever and never gonna let go of each other's hands ever again.He embraced me and I could just submit. I wanted to be in his arms just as much as he wished to me being locked in his embrace.He kissed my forehead, and I closed my eyes gently, totally accepting and cherishing his loveliness.When we let go of that hug, he remained close and held my waist."I love you, Camila. And I'll never want to let you go this time around," he declared and made a vow while sincerely looking into my eyes.I reciprocated the same amount of love and sincerity. He always deserves the best, and deserves to be loved unconditionally."And I love you more, Trey. I promise I will never let go of your hand again.""You do?" He wanted to make sure.I
"Yes, Camila. You are right. I am not Trey. I'm Noah—your fiancé."I couldn't believe it, but soon as he confirmed it, all my inhibitions went away with the air and I threw myself on him. I gave him an emotional, tight embrace. How I missed Noah!He responded with a tender hug. I knew he also missed me the way I missed him. I could feel it, especially with the beat of his heart I could hear because I was burying my ear into his chest.When we were over the hug but still remained close with each others' bodies, I caressed his cheek. His eyes seemed to be sad for a very long time."I missed you so much, Noah.""I missed you, Camila. I have missed you for so long…""H-ow did it happen, anyway? How were you able to come back? Is this even possible? You're alive, Noah?""I have always been with you, Camila. I never left. I am always alive, in your heart…"I felt so heavy with those heartilly words and with those lonely eyes. I gave him a hug once again. And he responded to it."Now that I'
"You just creeped me out, what the f*ck?!" I cussed unintentionally and it was purely because of my initial reaction upon shock.Mom raised her hands, making a humorous gesture of giving up and not fighting while chuckling because she had unintentionally scared me!"Chill, dear! I'm sorry, okay?""Mom, it was you! I thought it was a ghost!" I said, feeling guilty and regretful.She smiled.I hugged her. "I'm sorry, mom."She caressed my back upon responding to my hug. "It's alright, dear. No problem. I understand.""Anyway, what are you doing here?" I asked when the hug was over."Well, you have mentioned to me in our call early this morning that you're going to visit Noah, and I immediately knew which place you were talking about. So, I decided to come, too, and followed you. And of course, to visit him as well since he had been long gone," she explained.Oh now, I got it. I nodded. We both continued to look at the sea while silently talking to Noah's soul where he was last seen bef
