*
The door opened as my gaze met with hers, my heart sank seeing in her this state. She looked so weak and pale...
Her face was invaded with dark circles that formed a sac beneath her eyes and her brown and gold hair was so messy and tattered, I took in more of her features and realized she had lost weight even in that cotton shirt dress she was wearing that reached her mid-thigh.
My heart crunched painfully while I stared at her.
Her eyes widened with shock as she took her time staring at me, I knew she wasn't expecting me to be in front of her but I couldn't control myself.
I needed to see her even though it's just a glimpse well I've gone too far though, and now I'm standing in front of her.
The past week has been so unbearable for me. I hadn't been myself for not seeing that cute baby face of hers. My heart ached so bad

I needed to go back home and face my fears I can't stay here with him, I turned to the side and placed my leg quitely on the floor.I pressed my hands on the bed as gently as I can to support myself while I glanced back quickly to make sure Lucas was still sleeping, then stood up without spoiling my plans.'Seriously being an escapee is not

I asked turning around to face him while I packed my hair up in a ponytail."Cause from now on you'll be living with me," He said as my hands dropped suddenly while my eyes registered on his face to see if it was a joke but he meant it."No! I can't Lucas, I can't!" I declined to pack some books on the table."You're my girlfriend and there's nothing wrong with you staying with me," He burst out frustratedly making me froze at my spot as I tried to process what he just said.Girlfriend...I heard him use that word in class that my heart got so flustered but I let it go simply because I thought he made it as an excus

4 hours later, I was packing my books when the physics teacher gave us our assignment. The bell rang and Lucas stood up while I stared at him. "Wait for me here, I need to get something," He said while I nodded and smiled thinly at him as he walked out of the class. "Hey baby, I see Lucas getting all cozy with you," Leticia chirped behind me while I rolled my eyes standing up. "Where you up to?" She asked gazing at me and I held my stomach which was grumbling. "Hungry... I need to fill my stomach, I'm going for a break, are you coming along?" I asked her. "Nope, I gotta write some notes I missed in the library," She smiled zipping up her bag. "Okay," I said as I slung the straps of my bag over my shoulder. "Tell Beatrice I would see her later," She said. "I

Someone called in a high-pitched voice as our heads turned towards the direction to See Leticia running towards us.Beatrice stood up from where she was sitting and walked a bit before Leticia covered the distance among them and pulled Beatrice in for a hug."How's she doing?" Leticia asked pulling back slightly as she placed her two hands on Beatrice's face cupping her cheeks as she stared into her eyes."W-We haven't heard anything yet, we just hope she's fine," Beatrice let out in a shaky voice as tears spilled from her face while Leticia hugged her back.
