PICTURE OF YOU 08 DRUNK MATTHEW
The whole day, I didn't see Matthew and his friends earlier, and I wondered where they had gone. And now, I'm heading toward my part-time job, and I feel uneasy. I wondered why I felt this, but not seeing Matthew the whole day worries me. Why I'm worried about him? I don't know either. We only formally met yesterday and agreed with this fake boyfriend thing, but I felt a little attached to him.I finished my work in a blur, and I'm on a bus heading home. I arrived home around eleven in the evening. I quickly washed myself and laid my tired body on my bed.I was already slowly dosing off when my phone rang. I reached for it and drowsily answered it without looking at who the caller was. "Hello?""Abby! I quickly sat up and looked at the caller ID. Matthew? Why he's calling me this late? "Matthew, is that you?""Yes, Can you come over?" He asked, and I could hear him panting and speaking slurredly. "Come over? Do you know what time it is now? And why would I go there?""Remember the f
PICTURE OF YOU 09 ACCIDENT
ABBY's POV'sI woke up the following day, and Matthew was already gone. I sighed. That guy. Who beat him? And of all people, why did he call me instead of his friends? Don't worry about it, Abby. Maybe he was just embarrassed to his friends to see him beaten up, but what time did he leave? He didn't even bother to leave a note to say thank you. Tsk!"I sighed once again, made my way inside the bathroom, and took a bath to ready myself for school. I grab a piece of bread on the table before I step out the door, and I was surprised to see Matthew leaning at the side of my door."Good morning." He is smiling brightly, looking at me. I frowned with a piece of bread dangling between my lips. But my eyes widened when he pulled it away from my lips and shoved it inside his mouth. I blinked many times, staring at him, who was munching my bread."You! What are you doing here, and that's my bread you are eating." I poked his chest, annoyed not because of my bread but because he just left withou
PICTURE OF YOU 10 YOU TAKE CARE OF ME
ABBY's POVsMatthew has one broken rib, an abrasion on his left cheek, on her elbow, and a big one on his left arm and his right leg. He winced every time he took a step, holding his side. I felt guilty because of what happened to him. He was severely hurt because he tried to prevent my fall by hugging me, making sure I fell on top of him, and he was the one who hit the ground. It's all the dog's fault why it crossed the street the time we passed by. I owe him more, first for pretending to be my boyfriend and now for saving me from the accident. How can I repay him now? I wait outside after the Doctor tends to my minor cuts while they're tending to Matthew. After fifteen minutes, the Doctor stepped out of the room, and Matthew followed him, with a man named John beside him."Matthew, are you okay now? I thought you had broken bones, and your scrapes looked serious. You should stay here for a day or two.""That's what I told him, Miss, but he wanted to go home." The Doctor said."I'm f
PICTURE OF YOU 011 YOU MAKE ME SMILE
Matthew POV'S"Matthew, Matthew." I opened my eyes and quickly bolted up, only to fall back on my bed when I felt an excruciating pain on my side, arms, and leg. I mentally cussed, wincing in pain. "Just move slowly. Why did you suddenly get up from your bed? Look at your arm. It's bleeding again." Abby scolded me."You startled me. I forgot about the accident earlier, and I was startled to see your face when I opened my eyes." I reasoned out, wincing."Tsk! So it's my fault why you're in pain now. I am so ugly that I scare you? " She snorted."I didn't say that." I hissed. "Why did you wake me up anyway?"The food is ready. Come on, let's eat. I brought the food here." "Thank you, Abby. Can you help me, please?" She went beside me and helped me sit up, holding my shoulder. I wince but endure the pain. She put a pillow behind me and let me lean on the headboard. After that, she brought the tray of food in front of me and sat on the edge of my bed."Can you eat on your own?""I think
PICTURE OF YOU 012 MY FAKE GIRLFRIEND
The following day, I woke up earlier than usual. I need to go to Matthew first before I go to school. I hurriedly took a bath, put on my school uniform, and went out of my apartment without eating breakfast."I'll just eat at Matthew. He has lots of food there. I'm sure he won't mind it. I locked my door and was startled when I saw Uncle John standing at the side of the car not far away from my apartment, smiling."Good morning, Abby. Matthew asked me to pick you up.""He did? But you shouldn't have to Uncle. It's fine, And it's still very early. I burden you too much already .""It's fine, Abby. Get in the car." He smiles."Thank you, uncle." He closed the door after I settled inside, went to the driver seat, and drove off."Uncle, I'm working with Matthew. I'm not a special person who needs to be picked up with a car every time I report for work." I shyly said."Believe me, Abby, you are not a worker. You're more than that." He said, smiling at me."What do you mean by that?" But he
PICTURE OF YOU 013, YOU WANT TO STOP THIS ACT?

She cleans the entire place with Matthew following her and helping her occasionally. For the whole week, they become closer and more comfortable with each other. They can comfortably joke and playfully hit each other without feeling awkward, and Matthew started to become attached to her and felt like his day wouldn't be complete without her. ***"Good morning Matt!!! Abby hollered downstairs, and a few seconds later, he heard her footsteps running up the stairs, and then she burst into his room."Good morning." Matthew greeted back, smiling, now dressed in his school uniform."Umm!! Are you alright now? Why you're in your uniform?""I'm fine. Look at my arm; the scrapes and bruises have already healed. I can move it without pain, and I missed school a whole week." Abby held his arm and looked at his
PICTURE OF YOU 14 V. I. P. GUEST
ABBYI tap my finger on the counter while patiently waiting for my customer's drink. Nick and Theo were busy mixing the drinks. Tonight, the bar is packed with people that we don't have time to take a little break. My legs ache from walking back and forth, getting the order, and serving drinks. I sighed and took the tray of drinks that Theo handed to me. I hurriedly served it, then returned to the bar for another batch of drink to serve."Abby, go up to the V.I.P. area. One of our V.I.P. guests wanted that you only serve them the whole night." Our manager said. I almost jumped in joy. V.I.P means less hassle, less work, and away from trouble. I smiled at our manager, nodding my head, and quickly went up to the second floor."For Mr. Kim, room 4. He's been waiting for you to serve their drinks." Jay said, winking. "Mr. Kim seems like he loves your service. Every time he came, he asked for you. I just shrugged in response, picked up the tray over the counter, and went to their reserved r
PICTURE OF YOU 15 KISS
ABBY"Umm!!! The real reason is that my friends kept harassing me to go on a blind date because they said I needed to find a boyfriend. And every time I go, it's a disaster. If I hadn't stolen a picture of Matthew and told my friend he was my boyfriend, I'm sure Mia would still be forcing me to go on a blind date.""Mia sometimes is crazy," James chuckled. "Not only sometimes, always." I scoffed. "I thought I'd never see Matthew again, but sad to say, we bump into each other always, and he became my schoolmate, and here I am acting as his fake girlfriend.""You should be thankful to me for saving you with your crazy friends." Matthew snorted."But because of that picture, I swept the street, and I even jumped up the wall. Why do you keep chasing me anyway? It's just a picture, though.""I thought you were a kidnapper." He rolled his eyes. "What? How can you assume me like that? Do I look like one?" I glare at him."What if you have a contact? And why, of all the people in the mall t
