FORGOTTEN

ZACK
We went straight to my old bedroom when my grandma insisted that she'll walk Maddy, Jackie, and Lizzie to my late mother’s room located in front of the dining room.
It's been so long since I last visited my mom's room. I can't even remember what it looks like, or what was the design of it, or when was the last time I entered it. When I’m here, I have never thought of entering her room. I just often lock myself in my old room as I read comics, or if not I usually just talk lots of stories with my grandpa while helping him do whatever hobbies he does from those days. But usually, I stay at the park near here just one ride away.
My mother died a year after Chloe was
DON’T GO BEYOND May 18, 2021 MADDY Zack's late mom's bedroom is located in front of their dining room. Which explains the door that we saw earlier. I have to admit that I feel scaredy-cat towards Zack's grandma. Her prickly attitude and her stern face bring fear to me. She even made the guys leave when they were about to accompany us. She’s being freaking conservative, and I hate it. She’s making us wait outside for almost an hour now, but we didn’t say anything because we’re all so afraid of her. So we just sit silently on the dining chairs. Before she leaves us here, she told us that she's just gonna fix something inside. It contradicts
ONE STRANGE MAN [PART ONE] May 19, 2021 FINN [Finn Michael Torres | 28] The sunlight coming from the window awakens me. I stared at the ceiling for a while before I got up and took my phone on top of the dresser. I looked at the time and saw that it was already 6:30 am. I usually wake up earlier than this because of my work. I turned to Zack and Gab and saw that they're still sleeping deeply. I don't want to wake them up yet, but I also don't want to go downstairs without them, especially without Zack. The thought of seeing Zack's grandma again makes me uneasy. But still, I don't have anything to do here anymore. In the end, I decided to go down to searc
THE CONTINUATION... "Happy birthday, Finn," Gabby suddenly whispered to me. I smiled at him as he immediately diverted his eyes towards Santi. "Good morning, sir. I've heard that you were such a heroic cop." Gabby greeted Santi in such a polite manner, Santi turned at him to shake hands with a big smile on his lips. "Yes son, you're right about that! As you can see our house almost got flooded by my overflowing honors and awards." Santi said without even trying to be humble, instead he accepted Gab's compliment in an egotistical way. After those mock-up greetings, Santi's mouth didn't stop as he continued to feed us lots of stories about his journey before when he was still chief of police. Even when I'm itching to get out of this room
SANTI'S WORDS OF WISDOM May 19, 2021 FINN "Chloe?" Zack muttered in disbelief upon seeing the face of her sister again. His body automatically rushed towards her and embraced her. "Z-Zackary?" "Y-Yes it's me. I'm sorry if I don’t visit you frequently." Zack said with teary eyes while caressing the cheeks of her sister. "W-wait, why do you look thinner than before? You're even much skinnier than me. Do you eat on time?" Zack asked worriedly while touching the arms of Chloe. We were all surprised when Chloe suddenly yelped in pain because of what Zack did. Zack quickly withdrew and stepped back
COMMOTION May 19, 2021 FINN "I hate him!" Jackie exclaimed the moment we set our feet in Zack's room. After Santi left we decided to talk about what happened. Santi returned earlier after he left us in the kitchen but he didn't stay long, he reasoned that he's going out to play pool with his friends. At first, he insisted on accompanying us to the public market, but Zack immediately turned him down by saying that we can reasonably go by ourselves. Maybe Zack felt that we are starting to feel uncomfortable towards his grandfather. Jackie scowled and rolled her eyes, “If you gather us here to change our minds towards your grandfather, I’m sorry but you can’t change mine.” She said to Zack.
SKELETONS IN THE CLOSETS [PART ONE] May 19, 2021 ZACK I knew I'd crossed the line and wasn't thinking rationally, but I couldn't stop myself from exploding at them. Their portrayal of my grandfather insulted me as a stinking villain. Because I know my grandfather well enough to know that he isn't the one they think he is. Yes, I accept that he sometimes speaks unpleasantly, but this is due to him being oblivious to what he is saying. Regardless of all his imperfections, he's still a respectable, good man. I restrained myself from dwelling on what my grandfather had said to me. I know he didn't mean to harm my feelings. He was simply disappointed in me because I had become a failure to them, and his remar
SKELETONS IN THEIR CLOSETS May 19, 2021 MADDY Because of my annoyance to Zack, I fell into a bad mood and made the wrong choice to stay here in this cursed cabin. I hate to admit but I'm the type of person who holds a grudge for so long whenever I feel that someone did me wrong. I sighed as I continued fixing myself in the mirror. My eyes fell on the piercing in my hands, then suddenly a little laugh came out of my mouth when I thought of an idea that will surely make Santi mad. What if I'm wearing this earlier? I'm sure that he'll insult me even more for wearing a nose ring and adding t
REASONS WHY May 19, 2021 FINN We sat under a narra tree in front of their house. When I was still in his room, we heard the ruckus, especially the screams of Chloe and his grandma. Everyone of us was alarmed so, without hesitation I rushed outside and I was startled when I found him sitting on the floor puffing as if his lungs were lacking air. And when I approached him I never thought of bringing up the commotion that happened to them. Because I know that it was out of my league. Instead, he’s here sitting beside me while absentmindedly looking on the ground, his fingers crossed, while the anxiousness is evident in his face. And I am here contemplating when and where to start the conversation between us. Since I called him and went here he never uttered a word, maybe the fortuitous whirlwind of events really
