Aubrey's POV"What are you doing here again, pj?" I asked him, then handed him the handkerchief he offered me."I saw you. I was with Joanna, but suddenly, Carmie came, and I noticed that you feel awkward when Carmie is around. And you look pale lately. It's good that you left earlier, "he said, and held my hand.I didn't speak, and I just let PJ speak.I'm not in the right frame of mind, so I don't know the right thing to do.It's still unclear whether I'll thank him or simply ignore him."Tara, Tagaytay?" He offered. and a broad smile on his lips"No, I can't. That's where I saw Leion and Carmie dating. "I said, then he lost his smile and I felt guilty that I was the one at fault why he suddenly lost his smile."Oh. "Sorry" was his simple answer, and it was obvious that he was just trying to laugh so as not to be awkward.I'm sorry. I shouted at you, "I said, then looked at him, and I was surprised when PJ looked into my eyes and started staring.I looked back and returned to my fee
Joanna's POV"What! Aubrey is missing again! " I shouted at the person I was talking to in front of me now.Tito and PJ are the ones in front of me who have been tense in this room for a while."Weren't you with him before? Oh, no!Why did he disappear? Anyare! " I shouted, and then I gulped some juice, and Tito was staring at the footage that the mall gave us when someone arrested Aubrey."I hold her hand. But when we went out of the mall, She walked away and left me. But she didn't leave me because I saw a man pulling her to get into the van. And it's too late when I run. They've already left. "He explained that Tito didn't say anything.I'm so sorry. It was my fault, "said PJ, then swallowed the beer in the glass."It's fine, Mr. Howard," Tito replied, smiling, then turned his attention back to his laptop."That's not okay, Tito! Aubrey is missing for goddamn sake! " I sighed angrily and was overwhelmed with emptiness, and then gulped down the juice again."I'm sorry," he said, then
Aubrey's POVEarlier, I was taking a walk inside this room and checking around.I was restless and I could feel if there was someone outside the door.I'm scared because I gave mom and dad another problem.It's embarrassing because I can't do anything to make them proud of me.I'm ashamed of myself. It hurts to think that I can't do anything good in my life.Hopefully, one day I will learn to stand on my own two feet and I won't have to bother mom and dad anymore.Maybe they're looking for me now, especially since I haven't contacted them.I heard footsteps approaching the bedroom, so I went back to bed and put on a blanket.I pretended to be asleep to see the face of the one who grabbed me."A-aubrey?" I shuddered and quickly sat up in bed and turned my gaze to enter the room.Her voice was familiar. I can't forget that.The man's voice throbbed and broke my heart."Leion?" I asked in surprise, and then I sat up and the lion sat in front of me and gently caressed my cheek, and sudden
Aubrey's POV"Aubrey, I love you.""S-sorry. But I love someone else. And we will get married. ""Who? To the lion? I can run away from you. If you don't want to marry the lion, I know. I have a place in your heart. "You're wrong. I really want to marry Leon. And then I only love Leon. And I don't want to embarrass my family name. I'm sorry, Dwight. I can only give you as much as I can really give you in friendship. "Aubrey, please."Dwight. Don't let yourself be locked up in something that has no fulfillment. "But I love you, Aubrey. I will do everything just to make you love me. I will try to give you a good life and a good future. Just please stay with me. I am the one you choose. "But DWIGHT, I don't want to oblige you and make it difficult just because of me.But Aubrey, I'm ready for all the trials because I love you and I won't miss the trials. Just don't leave me. ""Dwight" caressed my cheek before crushing me with a kiss."But your eyes don't lie," he said, then kissed m
Aubrey's POV"Aubrey!" They shouted at the same time and then I sat down on the road and scratched my head."A-aubrey!" Then someone picked me up and put me in the car."Where are you taking aubrey!" Leion shouted then grabbed dwight's shoulder tightly."I'm a doctor. So I know what I'm going to do let me go" then dwight removed the grip on his shoulder then quickly got into the driver's seat and squeezed.I turned my gaze to the side mirror and saw leion there.There were tears in his eyes and he knelt on the road and his forehead was bruised and he closed his eyes tightly."I love you so much" I wet his mouth before he disappeared from my sight and we turned around."Aubrey? Did you know who I am?" Dwight asked me then quickly turned around."You're dwight" i said before i finally fell asleep.*****"Mr. Montezur, I know I'm no longer your son's doctor but I'm still concerned about Aubrey""Thank you for caring Dr. Lim""Malasakit or you are one of aubrey's freakin 'stalker you know
Dwight's POV"You have no plans to stop dreaming of being you again, Aubrey. What is that dude? What a year. Since your love story in Kapa, time has passed.Why don't you just make a new one and you'll be consciously swetehin kapa, "said the lazy beside me as I hugged the bottle of vodka that was already half full.This man is Joanna's brother.I only met him last week when he blocked my car to run away from the women who were chasing him, and that's where his trouble in my life started.It's only Aubrey's age or he's a year older."How old is that?" I ask as I stare at the glass of beer.I'm only 24. Aren't you 28? " He asked me, and I just nodded.He was two years older than Aubrey."How close were Aubrey and Leion when they were kids?" I asked and then he drank some alcohol."Leion." It's just a denial that he doesn't like Aubrey. But the truth is that he wanted to like it then. Maybe he was just choking because we were just kids and the two were brought closer so that they could st
Aubrey's POV"Argh! You're a moron, my friend!You're still holding on to the handsome handsome one, aren't you?It's like you left that jackpot in the jackpot! "Friend, kase naman.Nakakatakot yung girlfriend parang manunuklaw "I feel like a fool here in the cubicle, suppressing my sobs and hiding."Friend, did you hear that?""Yes""They said someone really cried here inside this cr before 11 at night!""Shit! Let's go! " Then they ran and quickly closed the restroom door.I sighed and went out of the cubicle to wash in front of the sink.I look like a ghost because my face is pale, my eye bag is barely sagging, and my hair looks like a bird will fly.I combed with my hand and adjusted my jacket and what I was wearing was just a shirt.I was tired of running away earlier.I was in the restroom of fast food chain McDo's.I suddenly felt hungry.I took out my wallet and went into the restroom.There were almost no human beings inside, and the man was just a cashier and guard.I placed
Aubrey's POV"T-thank you aubrey! I love you!" Leion happily promised to almost jump to where he was standing, then he hugged me and kissed the side of my forehead so I closed my eyes."Promise. I won't waste this last chance. Goddamn it! I'm so happy" leion was happy while his smile didn't know where to put it.His smile was almost up to his ear as he stared at my face and caressed me."Promise. I promise. I will never trade you for anyone" he said smiling then kissed me on the nose and quickly kissed me on the cheek."Tomorrow morning I'll pass you" he said then someone took it from his pocket.My ring that I left when we were on the ridge.My engagement ring and wedding ring.But this time it was on the necklace and the two rings became a pendant."It would be better if you wear it again. But I find it better if I just give it to you" he said then put the necklace on me and held me to the cold metal on my chest.It was as if a thorn had been pulled out of my chest and kept hurting.
