Francis turned his attention to Grant.
"Uh, oh... Don't look at me. You know the answer to that question." he defensively said.
"Okay, guys how about this? We can come together at the party. The three of us. I mean it's not that bad, right?" Grant suddenly suggested.
"Well, I think that's a good idea. So what do you think, Anna?" Francis asked for her opinion.
"Sounds good to me. At least there's no hassle and I already feel comfortable with you guys." Anna casually expressed her opinion.
"Alright! So we're all set at the Homecoming party!" Grant happily stated, while he and Francis raised their hands for a high-five.
Meanwhile, Anna was secretly feeling disappointed. She was expecting Grant to ask her to be his partner at the Homecoming Party, but she guesses that it's not going to happen anymore. She was feeling a bit sad and regretful, but the
Grant and Anna are currently walking their way to their first class for the day. Both of them are in high spirits, and they are beaming with so much happiness. And it's really obvious that they are so much in live with each other.Anna is overwhelmed with so much love and happiness. She is so damn proud to have a boyfriend just like Grant.Grant is her very first girlfriend, and eventhough it's her first time being in a romantic relationship like this, she's willing to do anything and everything to make it work.She is really hoping and praying that the two of them would last, and be together until they are old and gray...Grant and Anna are walking hand in hand, while giving sweet smiles at each other.They were only a few steps away from their classroom, when Anna suddenly stops on her tracks. Grant stares down at her in a curious manner."What's wrong, sweetheart?" he asked her, while looking a bit concerned."How
One evening, Grant has been busy studying for their upcoming exams at his own apartment when he suddenly heard a sound coming from his glass window. He curiously stood up and looked outside. He then saw Anna, who is standing outside. She signalled her to pick up her call using their mobile phones.Grant quickly answers the phone call from. his girlfriend."Hi, Grant. How have you been?" Anna casually asks him."Well, I'm good. I'm a bit busy studying for exams." he briefly answers."Why do you sound so cold, my love?" Anna suddenly asks him. "Oh,I'm just busy and tired. I'm studying like crazy for the upcoming exams." Grant replied, in a flat tone."That's it? My life is much crazier! I have to juggle my time practicing, doing intense training, studying, and spending time with you!" Anna cajoled, and he obviously sounded irritated."Yeah, good job in juggling everything, but are you sure that you're really spending your time with me?" Grant shot back, as she's getting annoyed as well
Anna's mind stops going down the memory lane and went back to the present time when she heard Francis Palmer's voice, which is their best friend back in Palmridge University. He is currently working in New York, and he only came back home because he was chosen as Grant's best man at his wedding."Where are the newly-engaged couple? When are they going to.makw their grand entrance?" Francis wondered, as he started checking for his phone to see if Grant has called or sent a message.Anna checked her own phone and she smiled when she read Grant's message."Oh, Grant just messaged me and he said that they are on their way now." she informed him. "Great, I'm really starving right now. I haven't eaten breakfast because I've slept the whole day after my flight." Francis smilingly stated."Grant really appreciates the fact that you're here for his wedding, Francis. And we can consider this as our mini-reunion as well, so. it's a win-win situation!" said Anna, in a perky manner."How about y
Few days weekly passes by. Francis and Anna are having a great time talking over greasy burger, fried chicken and fries. Anna has been craving for some fastfood kind of meal."I'm so glad we're doing this after so many years, Anna. Just like the old times." Francis said while feeling nostalgic."You're right. It feels like being a College student all over again." Anna stated, while giggling."But doesn't it feel like we're on a romantic date?" Francis asked, out of the blue."Would you really date someone like me... Hypothetically?" Anna asked in return, while looking intrigued."A big yes! You're beautiful, kind and gentle. You have a beautiful soul. I will definitely love you with all my mind, heart and soul..." Francis seriously said, as he stares right into Anna's eyes.Anna doesn't know why, but those words that comes out from Francis' mouth are like music to her ears. No one man has said something like this to her, and it made her feel really special as a woman.As a career wo
Dr. Clark Lee took a deep calming breath, while staring at her with a serious look on her face. At the same time, Eliza started feeling nervous while staring back at the doctor."What is he going to say? Why does he look so serious? Did I do something wrong?" those are the questions that is swirling in her head right now, as she held her breath in suspense. Dr. Clark Lee has been very kind to her and to her mother since the very first day they've met him. Before the angiogram surgery, he gave her a reassurance that everything will go well, and those kind words from him really helped her a lot.
"Eliza, is your mother mentally, verbally and emotionally abusing you?"Eliza was taken by surprise after hearing Dr. Lee's question. During her mother's time at the hospital, she and the doctor always talks about her mother's health condition, and this is the very first time he asked about her own condition."Uh... Why did you ask, Dr. Lee?" Eliza asks in return, as she averted her gaze away from the doctor."See, you're not even denying it. You can't look at me in the eye so it means that what I was thinking all along is right." Dr. Lee pronounced.For many years, she has been her mother sole caregiver. Her only sister, who's much older than her gave her the full responsibility of taking care of their mother. Even though her sister is giving them financial support, she doesn't really communicate well with their mother. But she never complained, eventhough she is being mentally, verbally, and emotionally tortured by their mother.When she went to college, her mother always tells her
After a few hours.Dr. Clark Lee and St. Matthew's Hospital's Psychiatrist, Dr. John Albert, are now having a serious meeting with Eliza's mother. They already told her about what happened to Eliza few hours ago.But instead of being all worried for her daughter, she started laughing as if she heard a funny joke."Eliza's really good in acting. Let me inform you that she has never gotten sick since she was a child. Why is she getting sick all of a sudden and now that she became an adult? Why now? If I were you, don't believe her." the old woman said, while shaking her head.Dr. Clark Lee couldn't believe her reaction. It is clear as day that Eliza's mother is a good example of a narcissist. Nothing and no one matters in the world except for her.And now, he feels deeply sorry for Eliza for suffering so long, without asking for anyone's help.Meanwhile, Eliza is just standing at corner, and she bows her head down after she heard mother's statement. She started on biting on her nails, w
Six months quickly passes by... At the Tierra Alta Mental Health Facility. "Eliza, someone is looking for you!"Eliza momentarily stops from watering the plants at the huge garden when she heard someone calling her. She saw Irene, one of the staff at Tierra Alta waving at her."Who's looking for me?" she curiously asks Irene.Irene just smiled at her in return, but didn't really answer her question."Well, your special visitor is waiting for you at the Visitor's Area. Grandma Miranda is having a chat with your guest." she mysteriously announced.And before Eliza could ask another question again, Irene smilingly walks away to take care of another patient.She lets out a sigh before she decided to stop the faucet from running."Good morning, Eliza." one of the female patient greeted her with a smile."Good morning, Sheila. Back to your regular morning walk again?" Eliza gently asks her."Yes. I've missed walking in the garden after being sick for a few days." Sheila said in return."I
