TWENTY-SEVEN- NOT A GOOD MORNING
JOANABE (JOENABELL) POV
My alarm rings on my table beside my bed I let loud a groan before reaching out the alarm to turn it off.
I stretch my body before leaving my bed. I open the curtains in my window to welcome the sunlight in my eyes.
"Good morning," I said while smiling alone inside my room.
The door creaks. I look at my door to see who's coming in, and Karene walks inside seeing me standing near the window.
Our eyes meet each other, and she smiles at me. "Good morning, Joenabell."
"Good morning, Karene," I greet Karene with a warm smile on my face.
"How's sleep?" Karene asks while arranging my messy bed.
"It's better, how about you?" I walk to my bed to give her a hand.
"We are going to ask your parents today. Are you ready?" My head tilts to the right in a confused look of my face.

JOENABE (JOENABELL) POVToday is the day after yesterday. I am glad Cheryl calms me down and calmly reminded me that I still have time to buy Leonel a gift. We almost walk every section and store inside the mall, but I got no clue.I let out a big sigh while scanning through the gift section, "what does he want?" My eyes travel to toys, clothes, and shoes. Isn't that a generic type of gift? Of course, he won't like it."Joenabell, you got something in your mind?" Cheryl place both of her hands in my shoulder. I shake my head, "No clue, Mom."What is a perfect gift for him? I've known him for ten years, but it feels like it is not the deal we only send letters as gifts to each other every birthday. 'Oh! Letters!'I snap my fingers because I finally had an idea on my mind. I do not know what kind of letter. I jump and clap my hands together. Then, I feel the weight on my shoulder. I turn my body around, "you finally had an idea."Cheryl looks brightly at me like the first she saw me happ

JOANABE (JOENABELL) POVHe walks closer to me to greet me formally, "Welcome to our house, Joenabell." He smirks at me. The smirk on his face looks sexy, which is dangerous to admit.I humbly nod at him."This is a party," I heavily sigh in the air. I look into him, and I am glad he did not hear me talking to myself. He guides me to the main area where the sounds are loud. TO BE HONEST, I am not into parties since I am not a party goer."Who's that, Leonel?" A man with black hair approaches us, and I see Leonel gives him a death glare that makes him excuse himself away from us. He looks relief after the stranger walks away."You are harsh to your guest," He looks like he is about to snarl at me, but I am glad he didn't. I am pleased to see him not angry with me. "They are my mother's guest except you." My eyes show my state in shock at his statement. I shrug at my reaction, "you

Leonel grabs my hand, "let's take a walk here to calm ourselves."The cold winds touch my skin, and I shiver of the chilly sensation. I worry about the party going on inside their mansion. The guest must have left the party due to what happened. That girl will be hunting for me for the rest of her life because she's too obsessed with Leonel. Jeez, I made a mess in this life of mine.A coat wraps me, and I look in the person walking beside me. Shoulder to shoulder while enjoying the breeze and the relaxing garden."Aren't you feeling cold?"

JOANABE (JOENABELL) POV"Have you been in love with someone for so long, Joenabell?" He repeats his question, and this time his voice looks like his face it's sad. The air I take becomes heavy in my chest. What should I say to him?"Joenabell, you are freezing in your position," he notes to me while his eyes burn in worry. I inhale and look at his eyes in sadness before I open my mouth to say"Wise men say only fools rushing..." I add a little melody to my words to sing the song and continue."But I can't help falling in love with... with him." I sniff as I feel my tears in my eyes, which I try to hold back due to the pain in my heart. Many years have passed Kane is still the one I want for my life. Why does it have to be like this?"Who is it?" He looks up to the skies avoiding my teary eyes. I also look up to the sky to see the bright moon-like his eyes."Someone that is meant for someone else," A tear fall in my eyes that I can't hold any longer."Does it hurt?" He sounds dead whil
