A woman living in sorrow, guilt, sadness, and pain.
A woman who chooses others rather than herself.
A woman whom they call brave and outrageous.
A woman of hope, as what they say, but what they don’t know is, she is hopeless.
Drowning in her misery.

“Should I choose you over her then?” he asked me.
“No Drake. The question should be, ‘Should I choose ME… over you?”
“What—“
“That’s the right question, Drake. That’s the perfect question.”
“Why— what do you mean? I thought—“
“Look, how can I choose you when I can’t choose myself? How can I choose others when I can’t even prioritize myself? Tell me how, so I can ignore it.”
“You know Drake, always remember this. Loving yourself is the best choice of your life. Choosing yourself is the best happiness that happens in our life. But you know what’s more important? Living yourself is the LIFE.” I smiled before walking away.
“Not enjoying the party?” a voice suddenly crack the silence in my head.“Oh heck! You scared the shit out of me!” I turned around only to see a tall and masculine man. He looked like the ones I see in movies. Serious and mysterious. I smirked at my thought.“Oh sorry miss. I saw you spacing out so I kind of interrupted the silence. Uh sorry?”
Smiles and Pain. Peace and Chaos.I wonder how a person can smile despite the pain he or she is feeling. I wonder how can there be peace at the center of chaos.How can they do that? Why can’t I do that?“Faster, Fely. We’ll be late!”
I woke up with a tear in my eyes. I touched my face and realized that my tears dried up. I have been crying myself to sleep last night. Again.And then I remember, who wouldn't cry when you're sister's friends don't like you. Who wouldn't cry when they made you as their laughing stock? Who wouldn't cry when your sister did not even mind it? Who wouldn’t cry when your sister is laughing with them? Who wouldn’t?“Fely? Are you ready?” I heard Ghale outside my bedroom. Funny how she acts like nothing happene
Drake has been spacing out. He does not pay attention to whatever I was saying. He would just stare above and sigh.“56,” I counted, and at last, I caught his attention. He had been like this since we walked out of the cafeteria. “It’s your 56th sigh.”“You’re counting?” he asked and laughed. “I’m fine,” he said. “I did not ask,” I replied and continued eating. We are in asecr

“Are you okay?” Ghale asked me. She panicked earlier when a car almost hit me. Almost. Almost!Shit!What the heck is wrong with the driver? I was about to walk towards her car when suddenly, a car, driving so fast almost hit me. She was on the opposite side of the street with her car. I just went back because I left my phone and then I was almost hit!“I’m gonna hunt that driver down! Did you see the plate number?” she looked so mad while walking back and forth in front of me. We were beside her car, talking.“No. And don’t w
“You’re not full yet?” I asked Drake who is still eating the food he bought. I haven’t eaten a piece yet because he kept on slapping my hand every time I'd get one.“No. I’m hungry, I told you.” I could barely understand what he was trying to say because his mouth is full. “Okay,” I just replied. I was about to get a burger when he slapped my hands again.“Ow! What was that for?!” I asked him, I was about to eat the burger when he turned pale. He was gasping for air making me panicked.“H-hand m-me the wa-water.” He said, hardly speaking. I immediately grabbed the water and h
