Chapter 15: Feelings
Zon's Perspective
"Kid, you are now developing feelings with that girl," she said and I didn't agree.
"How is that possible, I still had feelings with my ex," I clarified and she chuckled.
"Kid, you will soon, realize," she said and I couldn't get it.
"What made you think that way?" I asked.
"Kid, once you felt a sudden pain without a proper reason, that means you are sharing feelings because you are now connected, especially that you starting to falling in love with each other. So if one of you is in pain emotionally and not physically, you could feel it also. That is why I suggest you not to meet that girl again, you are putting her life more in danger, the more that you are creating con
Chapter 16: Cassy's Perspective"Cassy, stop crying," my father was trying to calm me at the same time he was trying to hold his frustration."I know he is your best friend, but think before you begged me of letting him go," he added. I didn't go to my part-time job because of the situation, it was killing my conscience, if only I could tell my father the truth behind Berna's lies."Dad, he was young, just let him go, don't file a case, please! I'm begging you, Dad, and you also don't have money to get a lawyer, so please, Dad, just this time, I'm begging you." My father got angry because of how I kept begging him and I knelt down in front of him."Cassy, how could you kneel down just to let him go? He harassed you! Don't be too soft or else people will take easy on you," he shed tears and it was so painful for me. Well, he was right, that was why Berna was treating me in the way she wanted to, I was so weak.I didn't let out words after my father's phrase because my mind was empty, al
Chapter 17: Cassy's PerspectiveAfter a few weeks, I finally moved on about what happened to Drake, he kept sending me messages, telling me that he was okay, that I didn't have to worry and just kept myself busy with my studies. Well, it was popping out inside my head sometimes but I tried to ignore it, just what my Dad said.And Berna? Of course, she didn't stop teasing me, but I was lucky that she has to prepare herself for the volleyball tournament, that was why my whole schooldays lately was so silent, for the very first time. No one was spilling of waters to me or to my foods, no one was blocking my paths and of course, no one was molesting me.Berna was the captain of their team, that's why she had to focus on each member more than the others. How I wished they had an unending tournament, but that was only a dream. Once the tournament was done, everything would be back to normal.After schooldays, I
Chapter 18: Zon's PerspectiveThe moment I asked her if she has a boyfriend, I just said, "okay," for I didn't want to be thought that I was interested in her, but I really do. Well, she has no bruises anymoreIt's been months and we were seeing each other many times and I decided it's time for me to get an answer to my curiosity. I wanted to ask her things to puzzled up what was really happening to her, and where she got her bruises but she brought a topic first before me, haist, a sighed."Why did you break up?" She asked and I curved my forehead."You mean, me and Angela?" I asked."Who else, you just said she was your first and last girlfriend, you can't break up to someone who is not your partner, unless you lied," she said and each word was said in a hard stressed, wow, she did that for the first time, she was irritated, I guessed. Haha, but she doesn't look scary."Well, do you want to hear about what happened, it's a long story?" I smirked at her."If only you wanted to share,"
Chapter 19: HER STORYZon's Perspective"My life?" She whispered too weak and I could see her fake smile."My life is something you don't want to experience. I am one of the poor in our class that been bullied by our classmates. No freedom, no happiness, no friends, except Drake, who is always there beside me, to protect me, but he transferred to another city because of some reason. It never easy, bruises everywhere, but what could I do?" She sighed.So, it's the reason why she has bruises last time, but they were too big, I wonder how students could do such things to her. I looked at her with sympathy."Why don't you transfer also?" I asked."I can't, my father has no money to support me, and my only opportunity is that school, I am one of those scholar students, the school is supporting me, but then I still need money for my projects, that's why I am working at night." She smiled."You shouldn't let them bully you, you should report them to the head of that school, I honestly saw you
Chapter 20: The MountainCassy's PerspectiveI just followed Zon without any idea where were we going. The night was beautiful and peaceful.It took a few minutes before we went to a big house, he entered and I just followed him inside."Wait for me here, I'm just going to change my clothes, is that okay?" He asked and I nodded my head. He left me here alone, and I couldn't stop myself not to roam my eyes, his house was too big and well, I was suspecting that he really did love the color white, everything I could see was black and white, just like his private library.Later on, something caught my attention, there was a wall with numerous types of medals and certificates. It was all Zon's achievements, and there I found out that he was a top student, he also competed in various competitions both sports and academics. Well, there was a photo of him and an old man on the top of his achievements, I guessed it was his father."What are you looki
Chapter 21: Her SmileZon's PerspectiveI just let her whimper as my heart was jerking.I just watched her cried and let out her grief. How I wished she realized what family meant for. How I also wished that my family was alive.After a few jiffies of crying, Cassy went near the fence and leaned her hands on it but then she frowned for she couldn't touch it. She was staring at the skies and the beam of the moonlight was flashing on her face, and I could see the color of her eyes clearly. And then she grinned in mitigation.It was the first time I saw her smiling without any agony or sadness in her eyes. I was stunned by how hilarious she was."Thank you, Zon! You enlightened me," He called out my name sincerely.The wind was drifting her hair to the left side of his head, we were speechless, only our eyes were disseminating. She was beautiful in my eyes at
Chapter 22: MOTHERCassy's PerspectiveA crying groaned woke me up and found myself on my bed. I stood up and the sound of a clock ticking was ringing in my ears."So, I came back here again?" I whispered smiling, and then, I heard a cry again.I went out of my room and I knew already that the lamenting voice was from my mother. When I looked at what she was doing I just stared at her. She was crying like a kid on the sofa, gripping her knees, astonished, and quietly drinking her random beer, as usual. "Haiisst!" I sighed.I wasn't sure what to feel about her but I remembered what Zon told me and I sighed then I just stared at my mom. I covered myself on the curtain that was attached to my room's door. I was secretly observing how much did she change until I heard her humming."Hmmmm...hmmmm...hmmmm," she was giggling alone as she hums. I wonder why she was smiling but tearing up, I felt sad for her, thinking about what happened to us, thinking about how guilty I was that I felt
Chapter 23: Time Passes ByThird Person's PerspectiveZon and Cassy became closer as times passes by, they didn't worry about what will transpire for both of them in the future, they keep sharing stories and knowing each other more, what they did was to find a way for her not to come back anymore.Yet, Zon was falling deeply in love with her, every time their eyes connected, and every time she was smiling at him, he felt like the world has begun to stop revolving, and all of his, both flesh and soul were stuck on her. He couldn't stop staring at her.The mountain behind his house became their meeting place. He waited for her there, every day after his studies."You didn't come again," Zon whispered in the air, feeling unhappy that she didn't come. He wanted to wait for her for a few more hours, but he knew that she will not appear. So he decided to go down the mountain and rest at home.When he was trying to take a nap, a
