"Should I write a speech?....no no. That would be too weird" Anna said crumpling the paper in front of her.
"Err....Anna?, I still feel that this isn't a good idea" Chesa said massaging her aching temples, this girl was going to end up getting hurt at this rate."Why is that?" Anna asked although she didn't care for the reason, she had already made up her mind. She was still scribbling on the blank page in front of her, trying hard to think of the right words to put down.Chesa fixed her glasses and spoke up "You'll get rejected!" She said it straight, if she didn't tell the girl now. When it happens she would seem like a bad friend.Anna nodded indifferently "At least I will get to tell him" of course Anna didn't have any hope, she just wanted to tell him. She felt that if she didn't it will be like carrying a heavy burden. She had to tell him, she had to know where she stood. She felt that one she told him, even though he accepts her or not…she will finally know how anI love writing these words. Thanks for reading.
"I love you..."Time seemed to have frozen at that moment, being the only ones in the hallway it was extremely quiet.....too quiet.Dylan's clenched tightly as he could not bring himself to look at the girl. For some unknown reason he was boiling with anger and for the first time, he felt repulsed being next to her.His breathing became erratic and his eyes became unfocused...maybe it was because that woman said those same words to him before breaking his trust and shooting him straight in his heart.Not many people knew how much she hurt him, she was the first person he had trusted so much in years but she....Anna realizing how quiet the atmosphere was looked up.Dylan seemed to be trembling slightly, his breathing was heavy and he was staring right into her eyes."Anna...." his voice was hoarse but he tried to make it as gentle as he could.She had no idea the amount of will power he had gathered just so he won't pus
The next morning was one of the most strangest at base. Apart from the fact that Anna skipped her exercises today, Dylan also didn't leave his house or tell anyone to train so it sort of became an unplanned holiday. The people at Base secretly celebrate their free time. Dylan had been giving all of them a hard time for the past few days and they could finally breathe.In the dorm room, Anna sighed into her pillow. She hugged it tight and stared absent mindedly outside the window. It was already very bright out, she was sure she was already late for her exercises with Jason but she couldn’t get herself to go…she sighs again and buries her face in the pillow."So.....you got rejected?" Chesa asked seeing the girl's gloomy expression. She wanted so bad to say 'I told you so!' but she kept her mouth shut after realizing that the girl was really hurt. She had a feeling that there was more to it than just rejection."Yep, I got dumped right after i co
"Dylan?" Anna called out again, he had been standing there staring at her for over a minute now."Ahem!" Dylan cleared his throat awkwardly, he still didn't know where to start."Uh...About last night.....I...""About last night....." Anna sighed before she continued "I think we should both forget it happened and I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable last night. I promise that it won't happen again" Anna said with a forced smile. 'I have to move on, move on Anna'Dylan sighed "Anna, I wanted to apologize about last night, I....shouldn't have raised my voice. I know I hurt you yesterday which is why I can't forget it like you asked, I would like to....""Would you please stop giving me hope?" Anna suddenly said confusing Dylan "Wh....What?""I beg you...." Anna looked down, hiding her tears "Please stop being so nice to me it confuses me!"Dylan heard her shaky voice and he knew she was crying."Anna....." D
Anna covered her nose and tried to see who it was.'Is it Dylan?' She felt happier than she had ever been but it wasn't him though."Anna..." The man ran towards the girl and hugged her tightly "I thought I lost you...."He said before raising his head to examine her."Are you hurt anywhere?" Anna looked at the man in front of her, she almost couldn’t tell him apart from his brother but seeing his black hair made her know he was immediately.“Li Chen…” Anna sobbed and buried herself in his embrace.His eyes widened in alarm as he looked at her “Are you hurt anywhere?”Anna shook her head "No, no I'm fine" she said before she began to cough, she couldn't stand the smoke anymore."I'll get you out of here so don't worry" He said, there was sadness and anger behind those eyes, it made Anna scared. His grip on the wheelchair tightened as he tried to make sure Anna would be okay."What exa
The man smiled slightly but the smile didn’t reach his eyes, his eyes were cold and looked cruel. He stared at the people around her with a condescending looked, like they were peasants not worth his time. He took slow and unhurried steps towards her and Anna couldn’t help but shiver in his presence.This man never looked his age, you could only know because he chose to keep his grey hair. Anna knew how much pain this man had caused her, seeing him now after finding out everything she was filled with anger."She's not going anywhere!" Su Chen said standing in front of Anna with clenched fists.Anna had never seen him so serious before. There was something different about his eyes but she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly it was.Li Chen nodded "You're not taking her anywhere with us here!" Anna looked at both brothers, her eyes filled with gratitude.They hadn't known her for that long but they were already protecting her like she wa
Anna hugged Li Chen's body, still waiting for him to wake up. She couldn’t let go, her expression was blank but her tears still fell freely, it was a heartbreaking sight.At that time, Lu Zhang was long gone and everyone could finally see what was going on "Anna....he's gone" Su Chen said wiping the tears from his face. He held her shoulders, squeezing it softly.Anna shook her head "He's just sleeping..." Anna stared at the silver bracelet in her palm, it had her name on it in bold colors.....it must taken him so long to make this.....she had to thank him, she had to...."Anna he's dead goddammit! He's never coming back! he's never going to open his eyes again!" Su Chen fell to his knees and touched his brother's face, it was cold to the touch. Those bright eyes…they weren’t open anymore."Anna....he…my brother, he...is gone" he said to her, Anna raised her head to look at him with angry eyes "Shut up!"Su Chen was startled,
Dylan clenched his fists at the thought, why couldn't he protect the people he cared about?Anna's smile soon faded 'What am I smiling for?' she thought to herself. There want any reason to smile....." Dylan, Su Chen. Thank you" Anna said holding both their hands, Chesa had told her about Eve's barrettes before so she knew she wasn't going to see them for a long time...."Won't you at least let her stay for his burial" Su Chen looked at his father with pleading eyes.The general glared at his son "What for?!"The turned to look at Anna who was behind him "Why should the person who caused my son's death be at his burial?. Have you finally lost your mind?"Su Chen's head hung low, that was his father's own way of thinking. He definitely won't allow Anna to be there."It's okay Su Chen.....just say goodbye to him for me" Anna said, she stared at the parked black car in front of her and sighed. 'Anothe
"I am really sorry for Li Chen's death which is why I'm here....""Don't want to hear it!" Scarlet said fixing her clothes, she now had on a professional expression.She saluted and Anna turned around to see who it was, she was shocked."Hi, you must be Anna" her voice was gentler than Scarlet's, it was soothing and made her feel calm for the first time since she came here. Although, that wasn't the reason why Anna was shocked. The woman was a carbon copy of the general, she looked older than him by a few years but now Anna finally knew why Su Chen had blond hair when his mother didn't."Welcome to Eve's Barrettes. I am well, Eve"Eve held one of Anna's hand and shook her head "You must have gone through a lot dear, I'm sure my brother must have made it really hard for you"Anna sighed "I deserved it Ms. Eve"Eve shook her head "Just call me Eve...we'll get along just fine"Anna forced a smile, she turned to look at Scarlet w
