Now even if it's perfect, I can't get carried away
Zack Jersey Mendoza Zendaya's POV
"Zendaya!" Coach Alvid yelled at me. I bent on my knees and gasped for air. I felt the sweat dashing through my ears. "Why are you always late for morning practice?"
"Coach, it's just five minutes," I answered, still steadying my breath. Why is the pool area so far from the field?
"Five minutes is still precious. You're the captain," he frowned. "You still check on Zamora before coming here?"
"Sssh," I straightly pointed my index finger to my lips. "T
O. Our hearts beat inside our chest leaving us gasping for every breath I was surprised to see Aae sitting on the stairs as I stepped inside the house. I've seen him countless times sitting on the stairs, so I think it was his most favorite spot in the house. As for me, I loved the porch. He flipped his module before turning to me. "You still up?" I checked my silver watch. It's already nine in the evening. "I'm waiting for you," he casually replied as he stood up. "I went to the after-party," I said. We won the overall championship for the Inter-high Schoo
P. Please don't be sad I really believe you were the greatest thing that ever happened to me My eyes were clouded with tears as I walked home. There was no particular reason as to why my tears fall out of a sudden. My senses somehow figured out it needed to release the liquid hovering around my chest to breathe. Have you ever felt that? Or it just me? The particular feeling where a part of your body moved involuntarily to help you cope up with the dread clouding inside your cells. It was your body that adjusted to keep you alive and well.
Q. Quite as bright and when we look to the sky, its not mine, but I want it so The familiar smell of petrichor made me wince as I stepped out of the porch. I placed my hot coffee beside the threshold and positioned myself on the chair. The brewed coffee Gab sent me automatically calm my nerves as I opened my book. It was my 8th book since Christmas Break. I spent the break at Tita Annly's house because my parents were still in Singapore. I refused to join them because I don't like to pretend I was enjoying a vacation when I have a lot of things going on in my mind. I started reading the book Aae
Romeo must die before the ending with a final poison kiss"You're..." He massaged his chiseled jawline while thinking of how to describe my look.I was wearing a sleeveless aqua green dress. It stayed above my knees, while I clutched the sling bag on my left shoulder. There were no details on the dress, just plain. I paired it with my flats because I don't like heels.I also braided my hair like a crown because I felt like doing so. Well, the real reason was I wanted to highlight the necklace Zack gave me.He told me we're going to some fancy place which apparently was one of their 5-star hotels.
Save me from this broken heart, all my love will slowly fade away"Zee Katie," My mother yelled as soon as she reached me standing in the garden. "What was that? Don't you know how rude it was in front of your future in-laws?!" The veins in her temple were showing as she clenched her teeth.My parents came back from Singapore together with my grandmother. It was my first time meeting her since my mother never talked about her family after she left home. I never thought I would meet her and not even in a blink of an eye, I thought about having Aae as my fiance.Uh, they were talking about the wedding dates a while ago. They didn't even bother asking about my opinion.
That I can live without you, but without you, I'll be miserable at bestI heard a slow clap after reaching the edge of the pool. I immediately removed my goggles and I saw Coach extending his hands on me."Coach," I greeted. I grabbed his hand as he pulled me. I removed my swim cap and let my hair on loose. "I guess this will be the last time," I said, trying to hide my sadness.I bowed down with a wide smile on my face upon saying, "Thank you for everything, Coach."I heard him chuckle as he pats my shoulder. He lifted my head and placed his hand on both of my arms. "I'm so proud of you, Zee. Thank you for being a great student.""I'll miss you, Coach. I'll miss everything," I wipe the shot of liquid that is trying to leave my eyes."You are making me cry, Zamora. Come here," he hugs me. "You are always welcome to visit me here. Okay?"I nodded upon leaving his hug. "Thank you," I repeated again.
U.Until you rightfully say what you saidAae Ocala Huang Agoncillo's POV12 years later"Your wife is still not here?" The event coordinator asked while sipping on her tea.I looked at her and saw the irritation in her face before checking my leather watch. It's already seven in the evening. I picked up my phone on the side of my hot chocolate and checked for a reply. I even restarted my phone thinking the signal might be poor. Though deep down, I know she's not answering my calls."She's on her way. She has a lot of work to do in the hospital," I lied. I don't even know what she was doing, but it might be true considering she's on duty."I see. It must be hard to be a doctor," she replied as she placed back the cup of tea on the table. She took the magazine on her hand before glancing at me. "I can wait for half an hour but if she isn't here yet-""Sorry, I'm late." Her sweet voice made us turn. She was gasping for air as she smiled at us. She bent a little to remove the cushion on
V.Voice crying loud, I've been crying for days now and as I start to run, I stop to breathe."Who is he?"His voice made me stopped what I was supposed to do. I placed the lap harp on the side table before facing him. He played with his black penlight as he leaned on the glass window adjacent to the patient's bed.I furrowed my brows. "Didn't you read the patient's name, Lauyton?" He was a friend from college and a resident like me. I became close to him because of Gab. He was Gab's ex-fiancee."Zendaya, Zack Jersey Mendoza." He stared with annoyance in his face though he was wearing a mask. "I'm jealous."I managed to crack a laugh that didn't reach my eyes. "Why would Lauyton Diem Elarde be jealous of him?" I looked at Zack.I watched the beat of his heart on the monitor screen before moving my eyes to the ICP monitor that indicated his minimal brain activity. If this will continue, he might fall into a vegetative state. I'm hoping it would not result in that."You don't even know
