Gracelyn's Pov This can't be happening !'Did you hear the news? Greg got into an accident and his leg was fractured. He needs one month before the cast on his leg will be removed. His father asked the dean to give him modules so that he will not be left behind. !' Izzy texted.'Was it Elliot or Eloy? His father. All i know is that he is the founder of your organization' I didn't open the next mesaage of Izzy. I am too surprised by what I just learned. Greg didn't once mention his parents to me before and I didn't also dare to asked. I didn't know he was sir Elliot's son . I want to go back to sir's office to back out but seeing him too happy just a minute ago made me retreat. 'It's okay Gracelyn, You can do it. Just act professionally plus you need money for your on job training next year', I said to myself and continue walking.I couldn't sleep well last night. I keep on thinking on what's gonna happen today. Sir Eloy said we will go there in the afternoon so I just lay on my bed

How did you know?" I replied.'Sir Eloy asked the Dean to give modules to both of them. Surprisingly, Sir Eloy is Greg's father. Do you know it?' she asked.' Yes. But Greg doesn't stay with them because he is mad at them. How did the job landed to Gracelyn?' i asked curiously' Gracelyn is a member of Sir Eloy's organization.

Gracelyn's PovI am so clumsy ! What did I just do ? I am scolding myself for the nth time now. It's so embarrassing. Really Grace? you really touch his crotch? But what should I do? He is wincing in pain and it's my fault. I stomp my feet and mess with my hair.Oh yes! The ointment. His skin sure is sore.I peep in the kitchen to see if grandma is in there. Luckily ,she is."Ahm.. grandma, can you use this ointment to Greg?".She nodded and took the ointment and smile teasingly at me.I put my palms in my face in embarrassment.How can I face Greg now ? Esh! Whatever,I'll just act like nothing happened.Greg's PovTwo week has passed and I feel so bored staying inside the house. I think my head will explode soon because of stress. Lexa is always ranting and complaining all the time and the modules are getting complicated to comprehend. I need to unwind and breathe in fresh air to clear my mind."

Gracelyn's PovI pushed Greg away and run towards my room. U locked the door and hide myself under the covers.It's so embarassing ! He caught me staring at him.I touched my lips and giggle.No! This is wrong. He has a girlfriend so I must behave myself.I sighed and force myself to sleep.I was woken up by the knock on the door.I groggily open the door."Whoa !" said Roger."Why?", I said rubbing my eyes."I- i think you should look at the mirror", he said and turned back."Ahm.. grandma said breakfast is ready", he shouted and went back to the kitchen.I closed my door and look in the mirror."Ahhh!", I shrieked.My hair is all over my face and dried saliva is painted on my cheeks. The eyeliner and lipstick was smudge around my eyes and lips. I do look like a mess. I remember trying to put on the cosmetics that aunt gave me since I couldn't sleep last night and I forgot to wash my face before sleeping. When I went to the kitchen. The boys are laughing. "What are you laughing ab
Greg's povMy father went and fetch my mom to join us. It's my first time having a meal with them. They often inivite me to eat outside but I always refused. The anger and resentment I felt had keep me away from them for too long. I never know that sharing a meal with family felt this good. I should have done this a long time ago. I still feel ackward talking with them though.Roger and Kevin already went home a while ago. Fin stayed with us and decided to just hitch a ride with my family going back home."When you were young, you always got sick and everytime you're sick we don't have money so your father went to knock his friend's doors. Some feel pity and let us borrow but most of them doesn't. If we can't borrow any money we turn to herbal medicines and home remedies", Mom narrated."You're mother is always crying if after all she did you still doesnt get better. Even our daily meals are hard to provide", Dad added. " One time, you want to buy a big lollipop, it's just five pes
Gracelyn's PovTime is passing too fast. If I can just pause the moment then I would. These past few days were one of the happiest days of my life.Greg and I are together now and we are happy. At first, I don't want to take chances with him again . He already hurt me once but it seems that I love him that much. In threw away all my doubts and fully trusted him again. I just wish that he'll not break it again this time.Greg's friends often hang out here now. They always said to grandma that her pancakes are more addictive that alcohol. Grandma is elated by what they said that everytime they come here she always makes a lot of pancakes. But they are already sick of having pancakes everytime and they can't tell grandma."You shouldn't get tired grandma. You should sit and relax. Let Gracelyn make snacks for now", they tried to stop grandma from making pancakes again.I laugh at what they are doing and shake my head." Are you sure ? Don't you want pancakes anymore?", grandma insisted.
Gracelyn's POV I just want to end it all. I want this pain to end. I went to the edge of the cliff and spread my hands. I want to be free of pain. I want to just fly away like the bird in the blue sky. I smile bitterly while my tears started to roll down my cheeks again. I was about to jump when someone hugged me and pull me out of the edge. We both fall on the ground rolling. "What are you doing ?", Greg said hugging me .I cried harder. My shoulders are shaking."How could you do this to me ?How could you fool me ? Is the first time not enough? Do you really love to see me crying and wailing in pain that much Greg ?", I shouted at him but he just listen and didn't utter a word. I punch his chest continuously." Why me Greg ? What did I ever do to deserve all this ?!", I voice it out."I'm sorry", he just mumbled and tighten his hug to me."Let go of me ", I said in anger."Never ", he said.I slapped him and remove his hands on my waist. I quickly walk away from him.Izzy meet m
