CHAPTER 8 SCARED
MELISA QUIZON
I was so stupid to give you all my attention. ‘Cause the way you played me. Exposed your true intention. ‘Cause one day I’ll have you beggin’ on your knees for me. Yeah, one day. I’ll have you crawling like a centipede. You mess with me. I’ll mess with her. So, I’ll make sure you get what you deserve. Yeah, one day! You’ll be beggin’ on your knees for me [Song: Beggin’ On Your Knees]
"Victory!" Nadine shouted and then she gave us a high-five. "Hello everyone! We are CriMeNaL, we’ve set this stage on fire! Good night!"We are backstage now because we just finished our gig. I put my drumsticks in my bag and then put them on my shoulder. The name CriMeNaL is derived from five female names.‘Cri’ stands for Crissa, our band leader and vocalist.'Me' stands for Melissa, obviously, it's me, I'm the drummer.‘Na’ stands for Nadine, the lead guitarist.Related chapters
Broken Strings CHAPTER 9 SON
MELISSA QUIZON"Reid..." I continued to caress my son's back as he cried on my shoulder.He could not accept that he had lost. Until we got here to the house he was still crying. As his mother, I can feel my son’s grief. We sat on the sofa and because I was carrying him, he landed on my lap.I also don't know why Reid lost, but I can't tell him that the winner is really good, because I know he'll be more upset."I'm a loser!" He said between sobs."Look at me, baby," I said softly. I wiped the tears from his eyes and cheeks. Then I gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. "It's okay to lose, at least you made someone happy because she won. And She should even be sad because you cried a lot."He sniffed. "R-Really?"I pinched the bridge of his nose. "Yes, baby. Come on. Mommy loves your music."He hugged me again and buried his face on my neck. "I love you, mommy. I'll be better next time. I promise."I nodded. I start hummin
Broken Strings CHAPTER 10 TIRED
MELISSA QUIZON His face is serious. "Tell me, the boy in the picture, is he my son?"I pulled hard on my arm he’s holding, then faced him. He looked at me seriously, remorse was in his eyes."Wait? Your son? I didn’t know you have one. Why are you asking me this, Mister Agoncillo?" I frowned. I lowered the picture frame I was holding to the table closest to me and then faced him again. "Didn't your stomach turn up when you said that?"I was sure he’ll feel insulted by what I said. I don't care. Why? After all these years, he has the nerve to call Reid his son? He must be out of his mind."Melissa..." He tried to reach me, but I raised my hand to stop him."Don’t take a step closer, Mister Agoncillo. Stay where you are." I have a hard time mentioning his name. "When you come, I'll hit you with all I can." I looked around and pointed to the tools. "I have a lot of choices here."He stopped and sighed. His jaw tightened. "Melissa, all I want to
Broken Strings CHAPTER 11 HOME
MELISSA QUIZONWhen I left Eugene's hospital, I went straight to Reid's elementary school. It's four o'clock and it's time. I became more observant around me. I get nervous when there is a vehicle following the tricycle I am riding. I get even more nervous when I think that Wright owns that car. I paid the driver before getting off his tricycle. Then I walked closer to the entrance gate. Parents are not allowed to enter the vicinity and we must wait in a certain area. The school I chose for my son is well-known, I am not worried when it comes to his security."Mommy!"I looked at the gate. Reid was accompanied by several students who were also leaving. He went to the guard and pointed at me, and he let him out. I kneel so we could share the same line of sight. He ran closer to me while dragging the bag. He hugged me tightly and kissed me on the cheek.I felt relieved when I hugged my son. I
Broken Strings CHAPTER 12 BEATS ME
MELISSA QUIZONI was just looking outside his car’s window until Eugene and I got to our house. Eugene opened the passenger seat door and helped me get out of the car. I could still feel the weakness in my knee when I got up.I don’t know when Wright will give up. Why would he want to take my son? I can't understand him! I hate myself! Why can't I forget him? Why does my body still seem to miss his caresses?! Annoying!I can’t believe, all of this happened in just a day! I'm thankful that Eugene arrived on time. Because I didn’t know what would happen if Wright caught up with me."Take a break. You need that." I could only nod in response to him. I am still weak.I knocked and Minerva peeked out the window before letting us in. I'm glad, I can trust this woman. I sat down on the sofa and grabbed five hundred pesos from my wallet and handed it to Minerva. After that, s
Broken Strings CHAPTER 13 GAME
MELISSA QUIZONI moaned as my bed shook. "Mommy, wake up.""One minute." I buried my face even deeper in the pillow.I felt him lie next to me. He took a few strands of my hair and then inserted them behind my ear. I was overwhelmed by what he did. "The food will be cold. Get up.""Fine."I embraced him and he embraced me back. I suppressed him with a kiss on the cheek. My son smells like a new toothpaste.He giggled and forcefully pushes my face. "No kisses! Brush your teeth first, You’re your breath stink."“You don’t love me anymore just because my breath stinks?”“No. But I’ll love you more if you brush your teeth.”I laughed at what he said. He quickly got off the bed when I let him go. He gave me a flying kiss first before running out."Uncle Doc! Uncle Doc! Mommy is
Broken Strings CHAPTER 14 WRIGHT
WRIGHT AGONCILLOMy hands were folded as I walked closer to my car. I was disgusted with myself because I could do nothing. I'm the wrong one. I'm the one to blame. I was the scared one. I couldn't bear the pain in my fist because of hitting the wall earlier, it was even more painful to see that my family was happy with that doctor. I just can't get close to them because it might get messy.I opened my car and quickly got in there. I gripped the steering wheel tightly. What do I need to do for my family to forgive me?I looked at a church I passed by. I manipulated my car and turned there. I haven't talked to Him in years. So maybe my life is like this because I have forgotten Him.I got out of the car, I immediately put on my dark glasses so no one would recognize me. I can’t pray properly if there are so many around me. I entered through its large door.I saw the pr
Broken Strings CHAPTER 15 NEVER
MELISSA QUIZON"Just take him to his room," I said to Eugene as he lifted my sleeping son out of the car.He is tired of participating in various games. The event ended almost at dusk, so we went home at night.Eugene nodded and headed straight for Reid's bedroom door. I put down the bags that held the clothes we used earlier. I took out the food container one by one and put them in the sink. If I take care of it tomorrow, it will probably stink so bad.When I turned, I saw Eugene standing behind me. I could see the tiredness and joy in his eyes as he stared at me. Reid always teases him because he likes to swim in the deep part of the pool. I don't know how to swim so he only invites Eugene.I wiped my hand. "You want a chocolate cake?"He reached for me and put my hair behind my ear. "'Don't bother, I know you're tired too."I close my eyes as
Broken Strings CHAPTER 16 WRONG DOOR
MELISSA QUIZONThursday came quickly. This is my first day at my new responsibility. Reid still doesn’t know about my new job. I don't want to lie but it's better to keep it a secret from my son. He might think of asking about Wright and I have nothing to answer. Eugene knew about my new job. If I needed him, he would come right away."I'll pick you up later. Wait for Mommy." I said softly to Reid as I send him to school."Yes." He nodded and kissed me on the cheek before entering the gate of his school.He stopped walking and faced me again. He waved and I waved too before he disappeared from my eyes sight. I hailed a taxi to go to Wright's address. I had prepared myself for our confrontation. I shouldn’t get over how I feel, the feeling of hatred.Yes, I still love him. But I can't be with him anymore. I love my son more now. My world revolves around him.My mind was
