The truth is always hard to accept, and difficult to come to terms with.Zoe thought she could make herself come to terms with the idea of wanting to move on but it turns out feelings are not just something one can erase.Realizing she can't live without her one true love, she decides to go for it, it's her last chance anyways.If she gets accepted, it'd be a miracle and if she gets rejected, it'll be no surprise though she will be hurt.On the other hand, Arabella lay back on the couch staring at the white ceiling above all lost in thought.Nothing had ever been the same ever since she left Zoe's apartment. She's lost everything, her fiance whom she thought loved her until it turned out the opposite and her best friend whom she has always ignored her love until things start streaming from within bringing weird feelings she's never thought she had.A knock came at the door pulling her off her thoughts, she frowned wondering who it might be.Deciding to see who it is, she carries her t
"I'm sorry for hurting you all these years, for judging you and leaving you when you needed me most" Arabella cries in pity."You did nothing wrong" Zoe tries to coax but Arabella is way too out of the league."No, I'm a bad person. I ignored your love for another, I bluntly hurt your feelings saying there will never be an Us. I caused you pain for years yet you never curse or judge me. I walk away from your life but you always stood by me and never made me feel less of the person I've always been to you" she explains in tears."You were doing just fine without me, so I was until I saw you after years of distance looking so happy with Evie. I didn't know why but I felt jealous, I felt hurt. Maybe I'm just selfish, maybe I just want everything for me" she cries."I never realized until I saw you two, just then I understood how egoist I am. Seeing you two made me feel things I've never felt before, not even for Rowan or Jack. I couldn't stand you two, that's why I left when you were sin
"Why did you lie to her and make her believe she was the one you loved? Why did you do all those things only to let her down at the tail end? Why Zoe? " She yells, demanding an answer." I'm sorry aunt," Zoe said, tears running down her cheeks. She understands all that it means, the feeling of being lied to and she is more than sorry."I honestly thought I could keep her, that we could be something more but then, I realized I am not deserving of her love. " Zoe explains, "It was never my intention to hurt her, I swear, aunt, there has never been a thought in my head other than protecting her and taking care of her" she said with all honesty." Is that so? Why then did you hurt her this much? " Amanda demands furiously."The heart doesn't lie, you can be the judge of that yourself. I can't choose whom to love and neither can I tell my heart whom to beat for. I sincerely apologize for everything, most especially for toiling with your trust and love. I know how important Evie is to you,
"what are you thinking?" Zoe asked, walking out of the bath with a hand towel as she wiped on her hair."Nothing" Arabella denies, running her hands through her hair. She stood up and walked to the cupboard by the side, pulling out the hair dryer."Let me," Zoe offers, takes the hand dryer and starts to blow dry her hair."There is nothing to worry about, everything has been taken care of" Zoe assures.Silent engulfed the room for a few seconds before Arabella demanded, "Did Ms Amanda understand the situation?" She is worried they might be offended by their relationship."Hmmm, she is always understanding," Zoe explains.Arabella nodded but didn't say anything even though she so much wanted to.Zoe could tell from her look that something is eating her up, she spines the chair over making her face her completely."She is understanding as well, but not as forgiven as her aunt. I don't blame her, I'm pretty sure everyone in her shoes would do the same." Zoe starts."I hurt her, Zoe. " Ar
Somewhere in New Zealand in a small town named Hamilton, sat a little girl on a couch, watching TV..." mama, mama" she called out to her mum as she ran to where her mother was sitting..." Yes, honey...what is it?" The mother asked in a soft and pleasing tone..."make love, what does it mean?" Little Zoe asked Innocently and the mother was stunned at her questions..."Where did you hear that from?" Her mother questioned and little Zoe was very pleased to tell her..." From the movie playing on the TV screen, that lady told the other lady that they should make love?" Little Zoe explained and her mother could only shake her heart..." Only people that are in love make love" Her mother explains and little Zoe frowned a bit, she seemed to be thinking about something..." What is love, mama?" Little Zoe's question..." Love is when you find yourself wanting to be close to someone, all the time..." She explains..."just like how I want to be close to you?" Little Zoe asked and her mother n
"Rabella?" Zoe calls out to her friend..." Yes, Zoe, "Arabella replied as she turned to her friend with a cute smile on her face..." Let's go to the field...it will be much more fun playing there" Zoe proposes and Arabella agrees by taking her hands and pulling her in the direction of the field... Zoe follows her patiently with her gaze never leaving Arabella, they walk and sit on the field, gazing at the bright sky..."Do you like spending time with me?" Zoe asked her friend and she nodded her head smiling..." why?" She asked again..." Because you are my best friend, you understand me more than my mum and dad...and I love spending time with you" Arabella explains and a smile creeps on little Zoe's jaw... Arabella hardly spends time with her mum and dad because they are always working, not like they don't care about her but that always makes her feel bad thinking they don't love her..." Does your heart always beat faster when you are around me?" Zoe questions again but this time
"What is wrong, honey?" Her mum questioned after she seemed to have settled down a bit..." mum, dad...am I a bad person?" Her question made her parents look at themselves in confusion..." No, honey...you are the sweetest and kind person in the world," her mum said and her dad just nods his head with a smile..." What's wrong? Why were you crying?" Her mum questioned and little Zoe wipes her nose..." I did something bad today mum..." little Zoe tells them as her eyes become teary again..." And what might that be, honey? you know you can talk to mum and dad about anything and we will help you fix it..." Her mum tries to ease her aching heart..." I-I hurt Rabella today..." Zoe burst into tears, it was so hard for her to think about it..." Oh, honey...I am so sorry..." her dad hugs her tightly..." what happened?" he questioned for the very first time..." We were on the field playing together and Rowan wanted to take her away from me...I tried to push her hands off his but I ended u
When Arabella notices her by the door, she turns her face in the other direction. She was still sad, and with no other choice, Zoe walked to her bedside..."Rabella?" She called out but didn't receive any response from her..."I know you are mad at me and I am sorry..." She said apologetically and still, Arabella didn't say a word and just kept on gazing in the other direction..." Please, forgive me" she continued, not being able to take her silence, it was killing her slowly..." you hurt me, Zoe," Arabella tells her in a teary tone..." I didn't mean to...it was an accident" Zoe explains..."You know I can never hurt you intentionally...you know it Rabella '' she continued..."but you did...why?" Tears roll down her cheeks as she stares at her friend with so much pain..." I didn't mean to...and I am sorry" Zoe didn't know what else to say sorry with teary eyes..." promise you will never do it again, ever?" Arabella said and Zoe nodded her head in response...she pulled her in
