His Mysterious Affection

It’s been two days since I moved out and cut ties with my family. I don’t think I can bear their judgmental stares. It feels like I did something that made them hate me, even my presence. I think they were waiting for a chance that I would be the one to banish myself from them, and they succeeded. Well, I don’t want to talk about them now. I am no masochist. My sister and I were close before, but not until her ex-boyfriend came into the picture. To be honest, our relationship stayed the same. From what I remember, I caught her ex boyfriend cheating on her. As a good brother, I punched that guy, and my sister sided with him. My papa doesn’t like me as much as his family. They were the complete opposite of Mama. I'm thinking of asking him why he didn't seem to like me. I mean, I’m not sure if I was, but being parents, they should accept their child for what he or she is to be. I was currently at the side of the road, sweating from a long walk just to find a cheap apartment near the sch

I’m done preparing and I’m ready to go out now. A loud bang welcomed me; different things were swaying in the air, and I was lucky enough to dodge those. I continued walking towards the kitchen carefully when a strange thing caught my eye. It was a red room—just like the other one that I saw last night. But, it’s not the same tenant. It was an old woman, looking nice with a fan in her hand. She greeted me, and I greeted her back. She seems okay, I think . . .I reached the kitchen together with the old woman, named Sarah. She has been a tenant here for almost a decade now. She added that she witnessed what happened in this apartment. We talked a lot, and we parted ways when she saw her husband in the kitchen. Wait... he was the guy from last night. The one that I thought would kill me. His wrinkled face lightened when he saw Sarah, his wife. His gummy smile seemed to be pleasing in his eyes. He offered food for his wife, but Sarah gently declined it. Her eyes landed on mine and plaster

Taddeio had finished feeding me by the time I told him that it was my last bite. He didn’t give me a chance to complain; he’d just looked at me seriously, and I backed down. For now, I know I’m not sane anymore as I did that heinous thing last night. I had so many what-ifs that were rumbling inside my brain. What if I stayed? Will he be saved? What if I didn’t run that night? Am I a cold corpse now? I sighed, and as much as I wanted to erase those memories, that face, the emotions, and the pleas, I couldn’t. I don’t know where to start. I wanted to go back there and see if he was still breathing. I wanted to clear this conscience as I can feel that I am being attacked like a spear which is perfectly aimed into my heart and mind. I am aware that there are so many possibilities that may happen or have already happened. These questions will have concrete answers if I ask Taddeio about them. But, where is he? After the feeding session earlier, he said that he was just going to put those bo

I woke up this morning with an awful feeling inside me. Maybe I'll catch a cold if I go out of my room. My body seemed to be weak, which was very odd as I'm not the type of person who gets sick easily. My body has been drained because of the happenings here in the apartment. My throat was parched and I'm currently looking for a bottle of water in my room. But I did not find any traces of it here. Despite the heavy feeling that I'm experiencing right now, I managed to get out of my room and directly moved towards the kitchen to satisfy my thirst. I got a glass and poured the water from the jar into it. For now, I don't like drinking cold water.I was in the middle of drinking when someone whispered right into my ear. "I'm sorry." I was caught off guard because of that, and I spilled some of the remaining water in my glass. How much I wanted to face the person behind me, but he held my body in place. "Don't look, please. I'm sorry about yesterday. I don't mean it like that.""So, you'
