MATT I thought I had seen enough heartbreaking stories and strong people, but watching Katherine's sister made me realize I haven't seen it all. She was able to face the perpetrator in the face and actually say goodbye in an endearing way to him. I salute her for her bravery. I was all hands down to her. Aside from Katherine, I found another mortal as interesting. Maybe that trait runs strongly in their blood, hereditary or something. I had wanted to watch more of what happened to Kate's sister, but seeing that she was going to call Kate, I decided to give them a little privacy. Besides, I owe Katherine that. I had already delved into their history, which she wasn't so pleased about, even if I hadn't seen them doing something gross. There was a burning sensation in my gut. It was a feeling I hadn't encountered in a long while. My brows were furrowed as I had long ago stopped sympathizing with mortals. Yet, I couldn't help but wish I could put a curse on the man who chose a f
I cannot believe it. I cannot freaking believe it.I had tried a gazillion times to convince Aunt to come with me to the mall but not even once was I successful while my sister had merely arrived and yet she was able to convince Aunt Hilda to go shopping with her upon our arrival in the house.
MATTI do not know if I should be happy about what I had learned or should I start writing my resignation letter right now? I gave out a grunt and allowed myself to sit on the sofa.
KYLE"Wait, what?" I could not believe what Matthew was saying. None of it made sense.
It would have been ridiculous of me to say that the weather seemed to have picked up my mood but with the sky being covered with dark gray clouds ready to pour the heavy rainfall, I stand by my assumption.Ironically, I would have preferred a sunny day. In the very least it might have made the ache in my heart lighter.But who am I kidding?No matter what the weather had been like I'd still feel as broken as I was.My heart had been shattered to thousands of pieces and I have no idea how to put them back or even if it would ever be whole again.The pain, the grief, the loneliness and emptiness I felt was too much. I wished I could just crawl in my bed and cried my way to sleep.But I also knew that I will have to do this sooner or later.There was no use for stalling the inevitable.I found myself staring at the gravestone which was staring right back at me on the ground. His name bared boldly on top of it, calling to me."Kyle". I let myself breathe that out falling on my knees just a
PART 4Broken love, broken hearts. The once sweet feeling was now replaced by bitterness and sad memories.Was the love you have always treasured worth keeping?Or is it time to find a new love?* * *KATEI raised a hand above my head, shielding my face from the harsh glare of the sun. I closed my left eye, playing and teasing my vision. Little rays of sunlight peeked through the slit I was creating with my fingers.“Kate!” For a minute, I was tempted to ignore the person calling my name. But then, my stomach betrayed me. It has been a while since I last ate. I was starving.Flashing a practiced smile, I dropped my hand and propped myself up from lying down on the bleachers of the football field of our school.I turned my attention towards the three approaching figures towards me, Annie, Claude, and Shane.From afar, I could visibly see Annie’s face scrunched in what I know was her way of telling me that I was guilty of something.The afternoon sun was high-up. I checked my watch. I o
KATEI found myself absently staring at the faucet positioned by my feet as I lay in the empty bathtub. The emptiness I was feeling was gnawing at me.
KATEIt was already snowing. Back in California, it was already freezing cold. I stared at the photo my sister just sent together with an ‘I miss and love you’ message. I let out a sigh just as the final bell rang, indicating the end of our last subject for today.“Enjoy your holidays, everyone!” Mister Roy Filadel, our arts teacher said, bading all of us a goodbye as he walked out of the room. Once he was gone, everyone erupted into cheers.Finally, class was over for a few days and the holiday break has begun.“Oooohhh, is that your sister?” Claude said, appearing behind me. I nod, letting her see the picture more closely.“Lucky you, you were able to experience snow first hand,&rdq
