I have been waiting for Mom to ask me what happened. After all, the last time I came home was almost a year ago, and I never do sudden drop-bys.

This is just not me.

But mom never did. She made a comfortable hot bath for me, fed Thunder before cooking my favorite, laughed at my horrible, forced jokes on the dinner table, all the way till I hid in my bedroom.

She kept my room for me.

On the walls still hang my awards, all the way to the silly nothing award in middle school. The papers are yellowing but clean, so are my trophies on the shelf. The bed she just made, I think, but the cover and pillow case are my favorite, good as new. Even the little plant that I insisted on keeping in a little pot when I had a big ranch just downstairs, mom kept him growing and healthy, still sleeping on the frame of my window.

Someone put in effort reserving the room as how it was.

I kick off my furry sleepers and hide under the soft, heavy cover, feeling the security I haven’t got for years. For years

  • Forget Me, Because I Will Do The Same   021 Caught Cheating

    In the end, I didn’t go back to Mrs. Watson’s.For some reason, it seems to be a huge pleasant surprise for Mateo to bump into me. Not that I’m not happy about seeing a friendly face. I mean, I live in the city. If he just runs around the city like this, he is bound to.“But it's so rare to meet you HERE!” He grins with his arms up as if showing the street to me. In an extremely exaggerated way.“What’s here?” I frown in confusion. The neighborhood has nothing special. Well, I guess, nothing special except it being one of the poorest areas in the city.“You are here to visit the orphanage, aren’t you?” Mateo says so surely, with a cocky tone.No...? Why would I be?“I’m here for a friend,” I say with hesitation, “what orphanage?”Mateo looks at me with a meaningful smile, but in the end, he just waves his hand carelessly, “Never mind. Guess I was wrong.”“Yeah, but which orphanage are YOU talking about?” I feel totally out of the situation.“I was a volunteer in middle school. We most

  • Forget Me, Because I Will Do The Same   020 Mrs. Watson

    Brooklyn might not have the tallest building or fanciest restaurant, but it has the warmest sun. Or so I feel, because this is where I spent four HARD, but happy years suffering through medical school.Deep in autumn, the tarred road has lost its burning steam, but mild under my feet. Walking on the familiar street, even the dry, yellow leaves on the sidewalk look cute to me.I haven’t enjoyed this view in a free morning like this for so long.I spent most of my days indoors, bustling around for surgeries and shots and ward rounds, barely had any time to throw a glance outside the window. Once, I thought the idea of losing my job unbearable, as if that would be the end of the world, but now I feel... a walk in the cool breeze under the warm autumn sun?It’s actually nice.It’s nice because I have a friend in the city, and that’s why I’m here.Fasten my steps up the little crooked stairs, I knock on the door. Soon I hear the familiar draggy slippers coming to the door -- Mrs. Watson. S

  • Forget Me, Because I Will Do The Same   019 Last Month Salary

    In the end, Mom took the bank card. Though I highly doubt she would use it. I think it was more to make me feel better.I left Thunder with Mom, too. I have to move out of Damien’s big house now that I’m divorcing him, meaning I wouldn’t be able to give Thunder a yard to play and a leafy avenue to run. I want to pick him up after I can find my own place to settle down, but...If he could get used to a ranch life with Mom and his siblings then, why make him go through the pain of losing me in one year or two, just because I need his company?Mom and Thunder. I can’t accompany them to the end of their lives now. I guess I just selfishly wish that, those who love me, could take care of each other when I’m gone.When I came back to the city, I actually felt lighter. Not because I left Thunder home, but because I severed my tie with a dark cloud that has been hanging over my head for months, if not years.Ever since I met Damien, I have been working so hard. I work hard to get into program

  • Forget Me, Because I Will Do The Same   018 Secrets Out

    I wake up in a furry, warm hug.“Thunder? How did you get in here??” I mumble, having a serious hard time opening my swollen eyes.He usually won’t allow me to sleep in. He needs his walk. But today he just lay in bed with me, putting his huge head right under my arm, and his warm body pressed against mine.To provide the company.He might not be a human, but he knows what I need better than most.I hug Thunder, and he pokes his big, wet nose everywhere, hasty to make me feel better.I didn’t cry when Damien left.It started when I tried to write it all down. I cried my eyes out when the past came back to me, bit by bit. I realized I haven’t dusted off those happy days between us for so long, rolling with the punches thrown by life.I forgot how he snorted at the idea of “swimming in the dead sea”, but then booked and arranged our annucl trip to Jordan; I forgot how he couldn’t understand why dying for a loved one is “romantic”, but he would always buy tickets for the next romance mov

  • Forget Me, Because I Will Do The Same   017 No Threat, No Joke

    He comes up to his knees, hinting at his phone, which is still screaming on the nightstand.Are you really going to pick up her call? Now?!Feeling wronged and humiliated, I curl up, holding my knees in my arms as I pull the cover over my body. The distance between us was negative a moment ago, and now, still in the same bed, I feel like it’s further than I can ever cross.“Aurora,” He urges.I glance at the screaming phone. I can see the worry in his eyes. Picking up the phone, I hang up the call before he could stop me.“Aurora!” Damien grunts with a frown, “You are crossing the line.”“Yeah? Do you remember what we were doing?” I raise my hand so he can’t get his phone, “We were trying to cross some lines!”“Give me my phone,” He gets off the bed and puts the towel back on, reaching his hand over with the coldness as if I’m his nemesis.I look at the man, gripping the phone, wishing I could break it. I see the hatred and anger in his eyes, just because I made him miss a phone call

  • Forget Me, Because I Will Do The Same   016 Exclusive Ringtone

    We stare at each other. Me with my body pressed against the closet, him with his hand gripping my waist.“I don’t like being threatened,” He lets out a low grunt. The lust hasn’t got time to fade from his eyes, shading them a layer of danger.His warning sends a chill down my body. I can’t bear him being mad at me. It’s a reflex built into my system now. The moment he frowns, I instantly want to apologize.But not this time.I have to go through with it this time because it hurts enough to bring it up once. I don’t have it in me to say divorce to him twice.“Is this because--” He starts, only to stop.I have never seen him hesitate in his words.“What?” I frown in confusion, confronting. Yes, I’ll say yes. Whether he asks. Whether if it’s because of Thunder. Or Amber. Or anything.“How long has Spencer been back?” He suddenly asks.“WHAT?!” I snap.Oops. I should say yes and end it right here, but anger gets the best of me.“You said it was about what happened on our wedding, but that
