LOGIN“Wait here,” I told the two security guards who escorted me to the hospital. They nodded. Arzhel still didn’t know that I had security with me every time I went out. It was Veronica’s idea. I twisted the doorknob slowly. I looked at Jessica, who just stood and came closer to me. James was sleepin
It’s been a week. We’re staying in Arzhel’s house. And Jarred was nowhere to be found. After he was seen in the hospital, no one knew his whereabouts. We couldn’t track him anymore. We didn’t even know if he was still in Los Angeles, but we didn’t want to get too comfortable. We still assumed he w
“What happened?” Arzhel asked the moment I entered the room and leaned on the wall to breathe. I gulped and blinked. I smiled. “I need to use the bathroom,” I reasoned. Arzhel chuckled. “Don’t they have a bathroom there?” he joked. I already started walking to the bathroom. “I was already in
“I will visit him later after I feed you and give you your meds,” I said. He smiled. “Thank you,” he said and gave me his sweetest smile. “But what am I? A kid?” he joked. I pouted. “No, but you're injured,” I said. He laughed. I saw Veronica roll her eyes. “Anyway, what happened to the perso

Lorenzo prepared a buffet for us for lunch, so we went to the hotel restaurant to have lunch together. I looked for my table. I mentally rolled my eyes when I saw mine next to Arzhel. Luckily it was only our first names, or else they would put Theron as my last name. That would be embarrassing.
“I should have let myself cry and yearn more before, instead of distracting myself,” I whispered and sighed. If I did that, maybe my heart would automatically get tired and give up loving him. I stood up and went to Arriana’s room. I saw her still sleeping peacefully. It was Sunday so she didn’t h
I couldn’t think of any reason. I was not yet allowed to tell him the truth. I needed to give him the same reason I told him before. “He is my friend,” I said. Arzhel pressed his lips, then released a deep breath. He looked at me. His eyes were full of warning. “I will give you one last chance,
