I'm sorry but I can't accept these
I stayed inside of my apartment that night and I don’t have any idea what happened to Brent after I slammed the door. I hadn't sleep properly because my mind was thinking about him. I know I’ve hurt him last night but I'm more in pain than him.
No Brent showed in front of me starting that night. It pained me but I believe it was best for both of us. In the last few days, I was thinking of not going to work anymore but I should hand over my resignation letter.
On a Monday morning, I came to the office formally to resign from my work. I contemplated it a lot of times and I'm certain I could get another job sooner. My graduation will be tomorrow and I have a lot of time to look for a regular job before I proceed to enroll in Law.
I heard the phone ring, "Kelsie speaking," I answered. It was Mia from the finance department who notified me that she's coming upstairs to get the documents she needed from Brent.
“Hi, Kelsie,” I automatically smiled when

Screaming Hearts Hangover sucks!
The next morning, I woke dazed. My head felt like I was hammered because it throbbed with so much pain. “Hangover sucks!” I murmured. I tried to sit down and poked my head, eyes still closed. I didn't remember anything from last night aside from the moment we were cheering and having fun at the club. I know that we've been wild last night but I don't care anymore. I did celebrate my graduation the way I wanted it and that helped to lessen the pain inside me because of Brent. I stretched my arms and yawned. I wondered what time the three of us went home last night. That was my most drunken moment and I swear to not do it again. I felt I'm still floating in the air because alcohol invaded my system drastically. When I opened my eyes, I flickered a few times because I wasn't in my room or in my friend's apartment. I was welcomed by a small light from the outside that passes through the corner of the window curtains. I roamed my eyes and my heart pounded wh
Screaming Hearts Are these mine?
“Olivia was diagnosed with dysthymia, a kind of depression. It was her mom who called me and asked for help because Olivia didn't want to talk to anyone in her family. During those times she's been looking for me. Our families have been friends for so many years that was why I did not hesitate to help. Besides she's like a little sister to me and what I have is purely a brotherly act. Trust me". I closed my eyes and tried to balance everything that he said. "What about her?" I muttered. "It's obvious that she likes you," I added. “I made it clear to her that she will be forever a little sister to me," he explained. "I told her that I have you and I love you so much," he assured and that made me breathe in relief. "Baby, please don’t be worried anymore. I will always choose you over anyone else,” he pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Now let's talk about that resignation you left on my table," he changed the topic. "Did
Screaming Hearts Hurry up and get me
I was dumbfounded for a moment because I couldn't believe he did that to persuade me. I refused him before because I wasn't ready to live with him but he asked me the question again. "I told you I'm not ready," I spoke softly. "I know," he replied. "I'm just hoping you will say yes this time," he added and I felt touched by his gestures. "Give me more time," I said like a whisper. "Alright," he kissed me on my temple down to my lips. I thought it was just a simple kiss but we ended kissing passionately. He was ravishing my small cavern and I responded with the same level of willingness. He pulled out and lowered his gaze to met mine. A playful smile curved on his lips. "Do you want us to continue on the bed?” he whispered against my lips and my body shivered instantly. “I'm late!” I slapped his arms and that earned a laugh from him. “I love you so much” he cupped my face and stared at me lovingly. I leaned closer and we hugged each other tightly
Screaming Hearts I have something to tell you
I excused myself and gone to the restroom because I got the urge to pee. I washed my hand in the lavatory and fixed my hair before I went out. As soon as I got back to the counter, I bid goodbye to my friends. "See you when I see you!" I waved my hands at them. "Good luck on your next journey!" I heard John before I walked out of the resto-bar. I was standing in front waiting for Brent when I heard Denver called my name. "Why leaving early?" he asked. "It's already midnight, Denver," I rolled my eyes at him. He was silent for a moment and I saw him unease with both hands either inside of his pocket. "Are you okay?" I creased my brows. I noticed he was like contemplating if he will speak or not. "Hey, what's wrong?" I asked again because I felt like he was anxious. He lifted his gaze "I like you, Kelsie," my eyes broadened because I never anticipated that. "I like you since the day I met you," he disclosed and that made me uncomfortable. "Denver, are you drunk
Screaming Hearts Stop it, let me go!
"Really?" he furrowed his brows but a smile plastered on his face. I nodded and he pulled me to kiss my lips. "You have no idea how much you made me happy," he whispered and hugged me tightly. "Let's go to sleep," I said before I kissed him good night. I woke up to the sound of my phone and when I reached for it, Hailey's name flashing on the screen. I noticed that Brent's side of the bed is empty and I wondered where he goes. "Kelsie!" she screamed as soon as I pushed the green button. "You're so weak when it comes to that Davis!" she scolded from the other line. My ears were full of her litanies because I didn't call them since we've parted from the club. She informed me that they didn't disturb me yesterday because Brent called her to let her know that we're back together. I couldn't believe that they have personal contact with each other. "Where are you?" she asked after she acted angrily. "Brent's. Why?" I replied shortly. "Let's go to the ma
Screaming Hearts It's pretty expensive
Thankfully, I didn’t hear any complaint from Brent when I told him that I will be meeting my two friends. He smiled and said he will drive me to our meeting place. He informed me that he’ll be out to meet Simon too. "Here," he extended his arm and I saw a gold card. "What's this?" I furrowed my brows. "Use this to pay for your stuff," he replied. "Nah, no need," I refused and he frowned. "What's wrong?" I asked in confusion. "Accept this card," he insisted. I reached for it because I know I'm running late. A smile flashed on his face right away like I did the right thing. I didn't want to argue with him anymore because we've already wasted a lot of time. “Kelsie, why are you late?" Hailey acted angrily. "Do you know that I already drunk a jar of coffee by just waiting for you?” she nagged. I smiled apologetically at her and motioned a peace sign but she eyed me sharply. “Stop with the drama!” Aira pulled her hair. “You could say that because I k
Screaming Hearts What is your connection to Brent?
We decided to look for a restaurant with private rooms where we could talk and listen properly to Hailey. We wouldn’t want to last the day without knowing what she is really hiding from us. I saw her hesitation when we dragged her inside the premises but we were eager that it was time to confront and corner her. “W-what do you mean, girls?” she stammered. “T-this is me. The real me!” she was trying to loosen our grip. “Hailey!” Aira called in a warning tone. "What?" she furrowed. “How can we trust you enough, if we feel that you’re hiding something from us?" Aira sounded desperate. "Don’t get us wrong Hailey," I interjected. "We trust you but with the way you act lately," I took a deep breath "You’re giving us a reason to doubt you,” I stated the truth. “You're right, Kelsie," Aira agreed instantly. "We’ve been friends for many years and we respect your decision for keeping it," she paused and sighed. "But isn’t it better if you share it with us?" Aira
Screaming Hearts So what's your plan?
"What is your connection to Brent?" I blurted out of curiosity. I was really bothered that it was so easy for her to defy Brent in their past encounter. "He's friends with my brother," she revealed. “So you already knew Brent since then?" I questioned confusedly. "Yeah," she beamed and motioned a peace sign at us. "You giggled to meet the new owner of the restaurant that time?" Aira creased her brows. Hailey explained that she really had no idea that it was Brent who acquired the restaurant. She was surprised too but she managed to act like she didn't know him because she didn't want us to notice it. "Hailey, you know about my revenge on Brent right?" I sounded reluctant. "What about your revenge?" she arched her brows. I told her that I'm bothered to know that she knows Brent from the start yet she supported my decision. She explained to me that Brent is her brother's friend and I am her friend so definitely she will side with me. "Besides your plan for reve
